Biggest Loser 4 Week 11

[AlreadyexcitedGrammy]

unbelievable that I made the top 10! BUT - I will surely take it!

Buddy Raenstoirm - GOOD GOING- TOP 10! Keep up the good work.

I have been "lurking" when I can - trying to keep up with all the hard work everyone has been doing.

Donac hope your week is on the way up

I am off to try the quiz for the week's challenge

I am ready for the TGIF tomorrow - any one else???

Where can I find the small version of the weekly challenge clippie? It's not on the sticky on the WISH board, and I can't remember where I got it last time.

Thanks!

Hello all,

Sounds like things are pretty tough going for some of our members. I will not respond individually but just know that I will be thinking of you and hoping that things in your lives turn around for the best! Sorry we have lost Cam, but best wishes to him. I can understand, there are only so many hours in the day and well, choices have to be made.


HUGE CONGRATULATIONS TO THE TOP 10. WAY TO GO ALL OF YOU.

We can all do this, with the help of everyone here. I appreciate all of you and your encouragement.

 

[whgrn]

OOOHH, I figured it out! Actually, I realized I had inserted both the Weekly Reigning Biggest Loser clippie AND the Weekly Challenge Winner clippie into my WISH journal, knowing that they would leave my signature at the end of that week, but wanting to show what they looked like. Soooo, I went back there, did the cut and paste thing, and, VOILA! I've got the size I need!

Sometimes I just amaze myself with stuff like this, and other times, I'm lucky if I can figure out how my cell phone works!

Speaking of which, guess what I did for the very first time yesterday? I TEXTED my BFF!!! Can you believe it? 47 years old and this is a big deal for me. Any teenager would look at me like I was nuts.

Oh well, there may be hope for my "coolness" yet. (but don't tell my kids that!)

Good Friday Morning Everyone.

Congrats Wendy on being #1 on the challenge this week.

DON't have much time. Classes starting soon just wanted to say hello this morning.

Will touch base later.

Have a magical losing day

So it is Friday morning...anyone have nay interesting plans? We were supposed to be having house guests this weekend, but one needs a root canal tomorrow, so they had to cancel. So I am all set for a relaxing weekend. It is supposed to be nice out but rainy all weekend, so that is no fun.

 

[donac]

I hope to have a relaxing SUnday.

Tonight my school is doing "Tommy the rock opera" It should be quite a change from Beauty and the Beast.

Tomorrow I am taking some of the crew from ds's school up to a school in north Jersey to show them how their set works. This school bought the set from ds's school and last SUnday dismanteled it and are putting it together this week.

SUnday I have a couple of church things to do and grocery shopping and then I am going to make corned beef and cabbage and Irish Soda Bread. I have not cooked a full SUnday meal in a month and I can't wait.

 

[JOANNEL]

We are also doing corned beef & cabbage Sunday for good old St Patrick's day. Then the boys will leave to go back to college.

Tonight we are going to see Elton John!!!!!! I can't wait.


Have a great Friday!!!

Not much for us. Today starts spring break so we took all of the kids to see Horton Hears a Who. It was pretty cute. The timing was good to stay and have lunch with DH at work. Now, we're home and I should probably start doing some cleaning up. We have 8 people arriving from OK on Wednesday so I've got to get company-ready. Also, need to figure out if we can farm out an adult or two to my sister's house since we don't really have enough beds for the adults. (The kids get to have a "sleep over" in the living room, that makes "sleeping on the floor" sound more fun, right?!?! )

 

[lynnielou]

Hello,

Good posts for today so far. We have a talented group here. BTW I know absolutely nothing about text messaging -- what a cool parent you are. The only text messaging I have been hearing about lately here in Michigan is Detroit's Mayor. What a mess the city is in.

No big plans here, have to work both sat. and sun. part of my rotation that comes about every 5 weeks! I hope to get to the grocery store and yes corned beef and cabbage sounds absolutely wonderful.

Have a good weekend everyone and don't forget to exercise! I may try to watch some as I do enjoy March Madness and all that goes with it.

Take care all........

Here is to a good weekend everyone. I plan on getting to the grocery store. I made it to the Walmart Super Center near work - can you believe they are almost $0.50 cheaper on their Smart Ones meals than the one in the town I live in (25 miles away)?? So at least got that done. Need to go to Sams but don't know if I'm going to make it or not. I have a funeral to attend tomorrow morning and then hopefully the rest of the weekend will just be relaxing. DD is going to be so upset when I have to leave in the morning. Stay strong this weekend - weekends are always the worst for me.

 

[ohMom]

happy sunday morning to everyone! how's your weekend going??

with all that is going on for me i have not been journaling. i plan to WI on tuesday so i'm trying to portion control super good, but AF has brought me a craving for chocolate and sweets and i'm fighting off that! urgh! maybe a pan of No Pudge is in order

no plans for an irish meal here....i'm so boring. sounds yummy though...i don't usually cook on Sunday, everyone fends for themselves and i hope they polish off the leftovers from the week

i did manage a 6 mile walk yesterday before the rain came which was so nice to be outside. i have only hit 3 workouts a week for the past two weeks so i'm trying to convince myself to do some pilates later this morning.

and hey! what happened to all our teammies!!

i'm sure you all talked about it, but why nobody voted off on the show this week? did they run out of time? interesting how when they recapped Jillians sassyness (which i loved, i don't care for the way Allison dramatizes) but after commercial they showed more talking, which brings out the heavy editing on the show. why do they recap so much at every commercial! i almost wished they'd go back to one hour shows and cut the recaps and interviews down, they are so repetitive.

whew! guess i needed to vent that

Hi everyone,

I"m back from WDW. Unfortunately! But probably fortunately for getting on track. I had a rice krispie Mickey every single day and loved every minute of it. YUM!

Anyway, I haven't got on the scale as yet. Will wait for Tuesday. Expecting a gain. Not so much for food down there but for long, long car rides where I'm sure I was overfueling because of straight boredom. Many healthy choices as well as unhealthy but overfed for sitting and sitting and sitting I'm sure. I also didn't get as much water in as at home or as much exercise as normal. But had a fantastic time.

As for the losing weight at WDW because of exercise. I'm pretty active here. And not as there as I sometimes go without park passes and this was one of those trips. I love just to simply hang out and do nothing.

The best thing about this trip was that I was able to get my parents, who were down in Florida for a month, a last minute AKV studio Savannah view room for two nights. Thanks whoever cancelled that. I've never stayed in AKL/AKV. Boy, they were thrilled with that room. My mom, who is a young 71, showed me her animal guide and how she had already crossed out many animals before we arrived. It was too cute. I found my father "yelling" at the giraffes for not visiting him one afternoon. I felt some sadness for the animals. I'm not sure they enjoy such a unnatural habitat. But everyone just laughed at me. But I"m not sure. I hope they are content.

We had two sides of family members there. So enjoyed P and P party with three nephews.

Okay, I could ramble for pages. Good to read and hear about everyone's week.

Lisa

Hi everyone and thanks for all the inspiration. I have decided to not spend so much time on the boards. I need to devote more time to God, my family and working out. I just hired a personal trainer at the YMCA and will be very busy with that and my 2 jobs as well. I don't see where I can fit in spending as much time as I have been spending here and other threads. I hope everyone loses a ton and keep up all the great work. God bless you all.


Cam

Oh sorry to see you leave Cam. But all the best to you.

I agree with the personality type but not the exercise. I only like three of the exercises the others i find boring

Your Personality Type: INSPIRATIONAL
You're the type who catalyzes other people into action. You know how to say all the right things, which is why people gravitate toward you, tell you their problems, and look to you for inspiration. You're creative and are concerned about achieving personal growth.

Your Exercise Rx:
Dual-purpose exercise. To you, working out is engaging only when it's about more than just your body. You are more apt to enjoy it if it's about being part of a community or about exploring your inner self. To enhance your spiritual side, try listening to music to set the mood for a peaceful workout.

Best Choices


Softball (like)
Volleyball
Soccer
Dance classes
Water aerobic
Martial arts
Trail running (like)
Swimming (like)
Tai chi


Leisure Activities
Your first priority is to work regular exercise into your week. But also think about using your leisure time to burn off a few extra calories. Here are some extracurricular activities for your personality type:

nature walks (like)
yoga

Good Monday morning and Happy St. Patrick's Day to everyone (even my father celebrates and he is all Italian)

We were away on Sat and yesterday I just puttered around the house after church things. I was Eucharistic Minister at 7:30 mass and then had to go to a nursing home. I am part of a team that goes every 5 weeks on a rotating basis. The nursing home has a priest who is a resident so if he is well we help him serve mass. It is so nice to help out with a service where the people really appreciates it. If people can't get to the mass then we go out to the rooms and give communion. I was very leary of it to begin with but I am starting to like it more and more.

I was knitting most of yesterday. Mostly mindless stuff. A wash cloth and a bib for a collegue who's wife just had a baby. The shower is scheduled for tomorrow morning. My ds's went to the mall to get ds2 a black shirt for one of the groups he plays with so I sent them to the Disney store. Stuffed animals were 2 for $20. They didn't call so they only got 1 Mickey for $15. If they had called I would have told them to get a 2nd because another friend just had a baby girl and I still haven't stopped by to see her. So off to the mall this afternoon to get another one. It will give me a chance to see the new Disney store at our mall.

Well I have papers to grade.

Don't forget weigh in is tomorrow. The challenge ends Wednesday nnight so keep working on those points.

Have a magical losing day.

Happy St Patty's Day to all.....

 

[NEVERENOUGHWDW]

Hi Everyone....I'm new to this thread.

DH & I just ordered Nutri System, DH has started running & I have started pilates 2x a week and the Gazelle (which I hate) 2x a week.

We are in NNJ & hope we can offer & accept support.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
