Biggest Loser 4 Week 5

[mikamah]

Hey, congratulations all you Giants fans!!!!!!

I'm not a big sports fan, tend to fall asleep during the games and wake up to the news of who won, but I was on the edge of my seat. My son is 6 and you can't live in MA and not be a Patriots fan, so I told him he could stay up if he wanted to watch the game, but he went to bed in the third quarter, and he was so sad when I told him the Giants won, but he put on his patriots shirt, and is off to school.

I did not have a good night saturday eating wise, but the rest of the weekend was good, and I've been exercising, so I hope the scale will be friendly to me tomorrow.

Have a great day everyone!!!

Would I be out of line to propose a Question of the Day?

What was your favorite commercial during the Super Bowl yesterday?

Mine was the Budweiser one with the Clydesdales and the Dalmation. I absolutely loved it, and have now watched it about 5 times. I even have it bookmarked so I can watch it again and again when I need inspiration! It was so perfect along with the Giants (the underdogs) winning.

I also liked the e*trade ones with the baby (very cute), and the Audi one with the screaming squirrel (we had a good laugh at that one).

Have a great day everyone!!!

 

[donac]

Good question of the day. Thanks for posting it.

My husband's favortites was the Victoria's secret and the Coke with the Thanksgiving type ballons.

 

[addicted_to_WDW]

That was awesome! I'm no huge fan of the Giants (go Redskins!) but I was so sick of the Patriots hype that I wanted the upset. I was so wired after the game that I couldn't sleep. I'm going to be useless today.

DS had friends over and I was busy entertaining so I didn't pay very close attention to the commercials. Of the few I saw, I loved the one with the Clydesdale being trained by the dalmation.

I stayed within my WW points, but was soooooo tempted by the junk everyone else was eating.

Sounds like some success during the Super Bowl! I wasn't able to track as someone was on the computer every time I had a chance, but did this morning. Apparently I did okay as I actually came in a little under my calories (though am really probably right at them since I'm not sure how many cookies worth of dough I really ate ). At least I know that I wasn't high Sat was good too. I was able to "save" some calories to enjoy a little of both of DD's double dessert choices during our special dinner/comfort food night as she was coughing her head off. Now it's back to the regularly scheduled program now with a little healthier choices for some of those calories.

I am a lifelong GIANTS fan so am so excited! Talk about being on the edge of my seat all night! Good news is I didn't want to get up to get a snack at the party, just in case I missed something! So I did ok with what I ate. My favorite commercials were the e-trade with the babies and the Coke one with the balloons, but I thought it was a great commercial year.

 

[DisneyDawnNH]

My DH and I are just not into sports at all and we watched the PuppyBowl on Animal Planet It was great! Complete with the Kitty Half-time show! So needless to say we didn't attend any parties with bad food temptations. I did cook a turkey yesterday and made a great turkey soup with brown rice and veggies for lunch this week. First time in my life I cooked a turkey and removed the skin before carving, then actually made steamed veggies to go with it instead of the typical fixings....

We did tivo the game so we will watch just the commercials tonight - I will report back on my favorites tomorrow.

 

[WDWorBUST]

I'm sad to say I had an absolutely horrible weekend - and it wasn't even the super bowl that did it. I just ate awful....so awful I didn't even try to figure the points. I will just be extremely grateful this week if I don't gain.

Of the commercials I LOVED the clydesdale and dalmation one and the wine and cheese budweiser commercial.

 

[sherreis]

QOTD -

I think for me it was also the Clydesdale horse commercial. I think those horses are absolutely gorgeous and I'm not a horse fan. When we were at Busch gardens Williamsburg last summer we went out of our way to show both DS what the horses look like.

I could've done better with my eating but did better than I would've before. I started the munchies with a huge platter of veggies and I really filled up on those so I couldn't eat much else. Then, we had some chips with homemade salsa. Chips were salty so I didn't eat as many as I was allowing myself.

CONGRATULATIONS ALL YOU GIANTS FANS!

DH is quite happy today as he grew up in New York and has always been a Giants fan. I went online at NFL shop this morning to check what they had and I think I'm going to order him a t-shirt later today and give it to him for Valentine's day. I think he'll like that.

hey guys, I had a very busy weekend, (I mean work was crazy busy again, really bad!!!!!!) and I am stressed out of my mind right now. DS is getting bullied, this morning he came back home from the bus stop very upset, and now I need to confront the bullies parents. Of course I am stressed over all of this, and what did I do? eat!

If you pray, please send a prayer my way to help me, help my DS!

QTD: My birthday is Sunday

Hope you had a fantastic birthday!!!

The results of my food allergy testing arrived. And eating for me will never be the same.

Oh, I am so sorry to hear all of that! I read through your posts, and I know you aren't looking forward to starting those changes today, but I bet soon you will be adjusted and feeling absolutely fantastic. Hang in there and sending hugs your way!

Well I'm finally past the headaches of caffeine withdrawal - I think.

Hang in there! glad to hear you are past the headaches, that I think is the hardest point. You will make it, and your body will thank you for it!

COngrats to all the winners in the challenge for this week. Two monmouth county girls did it this week. Congrats Wendy.

Vija I am so sorry that your son has to go through this. It never happened to my sons but it did happen to me in school and I hated it.

acourtwdw Happy Birthday

Let me tell you about my weekend. I am planning a trip to DW for the family in AUg. We had a family suite already booked. I have the airplane tickets printed out and my sister was booking segway tours for my dss and her dds(she had AP's and can get a discount). SAt I was sitting knitting my new pair of socks when dh handed me some mail for me. I see one from DW and I just thought it was about the upcoming trip. I guess I was watching tv while I opened it because all I see is a discussion about new things coming. At the bottom it says "Offer only good until March 31st. Use the code in the yellow boxto book your vacation" I look more carefully and I see 40% off I was in shock. I called right away but could not get a suite for the week we had picked. SO I went for 2 connecting rooms at POP . The best part is I saved $300. I still have to decide on a room for dh's and mine first night. We are flying down early to spend a couple days in the Keys and then driving up to Orlando. The boys are not coming in until Friday but I would like to get there on Thursday afternoon or evening. So we have one night by ourselves. I may try for WL. I would really like a CR with a MK view but it is way over what I want to spend even with the discount.


DId okay last night. We stayed home and I made some pizza. I only had 1 slice and no snacks. I also went to bed early but had a lousy night sleep because our cat was hungry and would only bother me. Pretty stupid since dh was downstairs by the food.

I came down this morning to exercise but dhh was too excite since i didn't see the game and had to tell me about the game and the commercials so I didn't get to exercise

Well off to get dinner ready and clean the kitchen. Don't forget weigh in tomorrow.

What a fabulous surprise Dona. Nice.

Sorry i havnt been around this last week. I've been extremely busy at work, i got a call from a large account that i'm meeting with next week, as an independent agent this is a huge thing. We also had a change in the management above me so that has also taken some of my time. I'm so excited about work and that my giants won. Annette and I met Eli Mannings dad a couple of years ago at espn the weekend. I was really bad this weekend with my eating. We had chips and chinese on Saturday and then yesterday for Annettes bday it was chicken fingers, mac and cheese and chocolate cake. I didnt do as bad a i thought i would but it wasnt the best choices to eat. Well i'm back into today and sticking with it.

My favorite comerical was the clydesdale and the wine and cheese party. I thought this years were not as good as i wanted them to be

Once again, I'm back after being MIA for what seems like forever. I'm trying to read through as many posts as I can, but not sure I will be caught up before the new thread starts tomorrow.

Vija - I'm sending prayers your way! We had bully problems at the beginning of the school year, so I understand the stress. Big for you and your son!

Wendy - Wow, you have a mush better attitude about the allergies and diet change than I think I would have. Let us know how the Dr. visit went.

Dona - What an awesome surprise in the mail! So glad you could use the code! Saving $ is always so nice.

Congrats to all of the Challenge winners!

DH and I aren't big sports fans - the Super Bowl is the only game he watches. And that is just for the commercials. By far my favorite was the dalmation training the Clydesdale. So cute!
My eating wasn't too terrible yesterday, but wasn't on plan either. Today I was able to jump back in and stayed on plan all day. And I still have enough calories left for a Skinny Cow ice cream cone later after the kids are in bed. Yum!


Good luck on weigh in tomorrow!!

 

[MickeynMinnie]

Good evening everyone,

What fun to read the reactions to the outcome of the Super Bowl. I am disappointed but it was a very good game.

QoTD == my absolute favorite commercial was the clysdales and the dalmation. What a cute one for the ages.

I tried to behave food-wise, did have some pizza rolls along with my two sam adams. I had done the treadmill for an hour and watched the pre-game. I will be anxious to see what comes to the light of day for the weigh in tomorrow morning.

Vija - so sorry to hear about your DS. Will pray for you on this one. Kids can be so mean!

Everyone else - hang in there and let's all get back to our healthy habits, what do you say?

BTW congrats also to the challenge points winners.

Hello everyone.

Have only had time to pop in and out, I had a very busy week last week with 13 court appearances and all the prep work that goes into it.

On Friday, I fly to Saint John, N.B. (my old home town) on business - will be back Sunday.

Hotel has a treadmill, so no excuse not to train. Am into my 10k training plan now.

Vija, so sorry to hear about your son! I had a bully when I was a kid too - he terrified me, no so much what he did (in retrospect, he never laid a hand on me), but he did not have to do anything - I was afraid to move a muscle in his presence.

The funny thing is that later on, when we were all in high school, one of my BFFs was dating him and could not understand why I was not comfortable hanging with him - well duh!

Anyway, I pray you will find a solution soon, it is so tough for a kid to go through. Bullying is taken very seriously in our schools - one little guy organized a "pink protest" where he and his comrades wore pink t shirts in protest and there are several "bully smart" programs in existence.

Were you able to get through to the parents?

Wendy, hope you get the food thing worked out soon.

Congrats to all superstars and challenge winners - wow, Vija buddy, you were a winner in both.

I am still trying to get my butt end in gear. Gained weight last week and it is not a mystery as to why.

Weigh in again Thursday...

Linda
