BIggest Loser 4 Week 4 -- challenge posted page 8 post #110

[PRINCESS VIJA]

Hi everyone! Happy to report that I am down 3# this week! I was hoping for more, because I had reached a 2.5# loss already on Thursday, and since then I only lost another 1/2 pound. I think this week I am going to avoid the scale until next weigh in. Still doing well avoiding fast food and chips! Very proud of that!

Yesterday I had my first full 45 minute TaeKwonDo class. It was a great workout and boy was I sweating! I was able to keep up pretty good with some modifications. Still feeling very proud of myself!


QOD... well, my name is not that interesting either! When I first signed up I wanted something with the Princesses, but the ones I kept coming up with were already taken. Then I remembered the address labels a friend made for me that had "Princess Vija" on them. So I went with that, because after all... I am the princess! the funny part is that I didn't realize that I had put it in all caps, and didn't know at the time that all caps is the equivalent of shouting on the internet.

I love reading all of these, it is fun to see what the meaning is behind them!

I'm very happy to report a 5lb loss this week! I'm not sure what the difference was, though I have been using the recumbant bike more than walking so I'm sure that is burning more calories. Plus, I've been trying to stay in the lower half of my calorie range.

Congrats to everyone here! Both the losers and those who gained/maintained. Your attitudes are what will bring you though to another week and you're all are doing great!

As to my dis name...when I was in college, the school assigned me tmfrankl for my email. There was an 8 character limit so they used first initial, middle initial and last name up to 6 characters (Franklin became frankl). That just became habit to use everywhere so I used it on the DIS. Unfortunately, my fingers typed a little fast and reversed the last two letters so I became tmfranlk. I didn't figure it out until I tried to log in the second time and couldn't get in. For some reason it never dawned on me to re-sign up. Like many of you, I wish now that I could change it to something a little more fun.

Way to go buddy! As for me I lost 1.5 lbs. I am seeing more inches than lbs so I'm thinking I'm adding muscle. Maybe I will start seeing those lbs once I get my metabolism back where it should be. Congrads to all the losers and maintainers. I've been a gainer so know how that feels for those that did gain. Next week will be your week.

I'm happy to say that I'm down 3.2 lb. this week. I think the challenge last week helped me out.

I'm so proud of everyone here, that we all keep going, no matter what the scale might say. I know that whenever I want to just give in for a day I sit down and read all that you guys have to say, and it really motivates me to keep trying.

QOTD - My login is named after a stuffed animal that I got at WDW back in the day (like before I was 10 yrs. old) that I have sitting above my computer right now.

[BibbityBobbitySue]

Good Morning, everyone!

Well I am happy to report that I finally have a loss! I am down 3.5 lbs!

QOTD: Well my user name is my nickname from my nieces. My oldest niece used to call me LaLa when she was little and when she really wanted something she would call me LaLaRoo. Now they just call me La. And the 78 is the year I was born.

Congrats to everyone that has lost or maintained this week! And for those of you that had a gain hang in there dont let this discourage you. You can do it!

Have a wonderful day everyone!

Way to go Buddy!!!

 

[Foxfiregrrl]

I am down 2.4 pounds this week I'm really excited about having a loss each week so far I am down a total of 8.1 pounds! Can't wait to get my 10 pound banner back

Congratulations to EVERYONE for continuing down the healthy path for another week!! Keep up the good work and you WILL see results!!

QOTD:
My screen name comes from a mid-90's movie "Foxfire" with Angelina Jolie. It is about teenage girls who are all having issues and they bond and kind of do the rebellious thing together. I really loved it at the time and made my first email account Foxfiregrrl because Foxfiregirl was taken up to like Foxfiregirl30 or something. I use this user name for Everything now. I still really like it though because to me it stands for being a Strong Independent Woman and then a little spunkiness to go with it It isn't very disney though but it is me

Hi everyone,

Good posts so far from everyone. I am happy to see ones post that have lost this past week.

No loss for me this week, in fact I gained one pound. I figure that I did not watch enough of what I ate and had 2 days with little or no exercise.

This week will be better.

As far as my dis name ----

My real first name is Lynn and my middle name is Louise, so a while back my husband had given me a nickname of lynnielou so when I signed up for the dis, it seemed right. Has a nice ring to it I think.

Have a great rest of the week everyone!

 

[tmfranlk]

Well I'm down 1 pound this week, which officially puts me under 200lbs!

Screen name is just my first and middle name Charity Lynn

Congratulations!!! I am hoping to join you there in the next two weeks!

Nice job, buddy!! Inches are just as good as pounds in the long run. Just keep it up and the pounds will soon follow.

 

[donac]

Good Wednesday morning everyone. Congrats to all the losers and maintainers. To all the gainers next week will be your week.

DOn't forget to keep up with the challenge. It ends at midnight Thursday night. SO we have two full days left to get somethings done. Right now I have 30 points. I hope to get a few more before tomorrow night. I probably won't get the full 65 this week but I am working on getting as many as I can.

Keep up the hard work. You can do this.
