Biggest Loser 4 Week 9

[lisaviolet]

Lisa,

Are you following Peep Watch 2008 on the CB? Here is the beginning. It is getting quite lengthy. EV really knows how to spin a yarn about MI. We have many DISers with too much time on their hands over there but I think that is what the CB is all about. Peep Poop, who would have ever thought? The Tag Fairy has been very generous over there. She never seems to visit here.

Anyway, check out post #212 here. After seeing the Tag Fairy visit lintasare is hoping for a tag. Then read post #216 and #225, The tag needs to be highlighted to read it, bad, bad color there Tag Fairy. Tag Fairy you need some color co-ordinating lessons.

Lisa, isn't that tag just priceless? I really love it and after your remark about the Princess Bride I had to share that with you.

Gotta get to my salad before I put anything awful in my mouth.

Have a healthy day!

I'm not a witch!!!! I'm your WIFE!

Thanks for the link Brenda. Too funny. I didn't get a word of it, except for the hysterical Princess Bride tag...too flippin' funny , at first b/c I had no idea what a Peep was. No idea.

I knew Peeps as in friend. But I had no idea about the candy. I had to use wikipedia to educate myself. What a funny sentence that is!

When I get a chance I going to read the thread now that I understand it. The whole time I'm thinking geez don't get yourself fired. I died laughing when he or she said she ate the first Peep. . That's as far as I got.

Boy, there's nothing like the CB. It scares the heck out of me at times because I'm simply not emotionally strong enough to hang out there. Tough crowd.

Oh Dona,

First of all.....

As for the frustration over the teacher who won the TOTY. Well, I know this doesn't help the shock. But just think of all those students, over 31 years, that you have taught to be responsible for themselves and their work. And how that helps them in the real world. And to strive for excellence that is really excellence. To reach for their best. Not their "okay". Students always remember teachers who pushed them. Not those who coddle them and give them freebies. But I know you know this already. I'm sorry. That's difficult.

I was happy to hear that the play is turning out well. Must be satisfying for you. Hope this week goes well.

Congratulations to you for keeping on track. I'm sure each and every one of us, well I assume, struggles with stress eating. And you didn't during a very busy and stressful week. That's really great.

All the best to you,

Lisa

princess vija- Good luck with the interview.

Dona- Hopefully this week and month will be better for you.

For me this week has been crazy good. I've been really busy at work but i've been eating right, drinking my water and even though i havent exercised i've been really active. I work outside sales so i'm constantly getting out of the car and going into businesses. I've been trying to park in the last parking spot to get the most exercise. Yesterday i spent the entire day shopping 10 hours. Today i need to finish up. I hope to get a walk in today also to enjoy the sunshine.

Hope everyone has a great day today.

Amanda

Good Monday morning everyone. I made it through the weekend.

The shows were amazing. The kids did such a great job even with only a couple of hours between the two shows yesterday. Ds got sick during Sat show but with some rest on Sat night he was able to do the two shows yesterday. The guy in charge of the crew was really impressed with my son. My son told the guy he thought he was going to pass out (it is usually very hot in the wings) The guy told my son to go rest but my ds saw that one of the costumes needed to be fixed so he fixed it before he went to rest. Ds rested until the end of the show but got up to do the final scene that they had just worked on that afternoon and the curtain call. I am so proud of his work ethic.

Thanks for all the kind words this weekend. WE have nothing on Mon, Tues and Wed and then we start again on Thursday. We were supposed to hve a rehersal on Wed but we can't because of testing on Thursday they are not allowed to keep the kids out too late so they canceled rehersal. I know that there are some other problems that I need to work out this week but after a good nnight's sleep I think I can tackle them

Have a magical losing day. DOn't forget weigh in tomorrow morning.

 

[PRINCESS VIJA]

Thanks for the good wishes! I am going to spend some time today getting prepared for possible questions.

The kids are off today, looking forward to some fun time with them. And we get our girl scout cookies today. I'll have to really watch it when those get in our house!

Hear Ye, Hear Ye, the Weight Keeper speaks

We started the week with 62 participants. 7 folks have not checked in for three weeks and have been dropped from the challenge. Of course they will be welcomed with open arms if they decide to make a report to me in the future. 2 new participants have joined us this week.

to cats7494 - ??? and praline3001 - Brook that have joined us this week.

We are now at 57 current participants. 19 people did not check in for the week. That is 1/3 of our participants. 5 of them have missed 2 weeks, 14 have missed one week. One newbie will report their first weight change next week.

37 participants weighed in this week. We had 12 gains (almost 1/3 of us GAINED for the week), 8 maintains (that means that 54% of us did NOT lose weight this week), and 17 losses. Only 17 losses this week. That makes the odds of getting into the top ten very good. I should have a number for that since I took statistics but well sorry guys, does anyone even care about any of this stuff anyway?

Now let's look at our cumulative new loss. When folks drop out their losses are subtracted from the total. We had some pretty big losers drop out this week. We lost a 15 pound loss and three 8 pound losses that dropped out. So this week the addition of those pounds really hurt our cumulative loss. This week our 17 losers lost 26.9 pounds and our 12 gains were 11.3 pounds. Losses ranged from .2 pounds to 3.6 pounds and our gains ranged from .2 to 3 pounds. Our net loss for the week was 15.6 pounds and our cumulative net loss is now 411.1 pounds.

Now to the important part - (drum roll and fanfare please)

Great job Lisa. Claim your clippie. Wear it proudly. You have earned it!

or you can use http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b322/ohmom/weeklyBL.jpg

followed by the backslash IMG "". Congratulations Lisa!!! You add so much to our weekly thread and are so welcoming and encouraging to everyone. I'm glad it is finally your week to shine.

Wendy last weeks Biggest Loser must now give up the clippie. Only one loser may reign at a time.

Congratulations to all our superstars. I sure picked the right week to finally get back in the game. It has been a longlonglong time since I have been a superstar. Hey you could be a superstar next week.

This has been a monumental week for two superstars that have arrived in one-derland this week. Yes they now weigh in the 100s. What a one-derful accomplishment. Since we started our challenge one other person has arrived and I see at least 6 other people that could possibly get there by the end of our challenge. I know you can do it ladies!

I am already thinking about my big list to be published after week 10. In addition to our top losers it will name our perfect attendance superstars and those that have not gained at all during our challenge (I hope we still have some of those after 10 weeks).

I'm sorry I can't name everyone a superstar every week. Just by sticking with this challenge and trying to develop healthy habits you are superstars to me. As a group we seem to have had a difficult week. How was your week? Will this week be better? What are your plans to improve things this week? What are you doing to become a superstar?

So my fellow losers keep working your plan. If your plan isn't working then rework the plan. East less, move more. Find something that works for you and stick with it and try your hardest. With hard work we can all be losers and reach our weight loss goals.

Have a healthy day!

Congratulations Lisa!

Hey everyone - Just checking in - Haven't been coming here like a should and I feel lost and dont' know where to start in the threads so I"m just jumping in feet first.

I weighed 165 this morning. Today is new beginning for me. I havne't weighed this much in a LONG time. Since before I started WISH originally.

So I can do this - I will do this. I've done it before - I can do it again!

i'm here i was away this weekend with my Mom at a scrapbooking B&B, which was a fantastic time. however, we were disappointed in the food, but i guess now it just means i didn't overeat as much as i might have had the food been excellent i did a sneak WI today and was down, so i'm watching carefully tonight and heading out to workout here shortly. PD to us LOSER for a joyful WI day tomorrow..........

 

[MelanieC]

Hi Melanie!

Hey there!!

Wow I missed everyone here!

So I'm hanging in there. Not easy getting back on the wagon - but I'm doing better. Its definately a one day at a time and I'm trying not to beat myself up. Its a RE-self discovery.


So I know I'm not officially in the challenge and all - but I hope you all will let me use this space to get aquainted again.


I think I'm down 2 pounds since Friday or Saturday- One day at a time.

 

[dare2dream]

Melanie if you are interested check out our BL 4 sticky. We'd love to have you as an official participant in our challenge but either way you are always welcome to visit here anytime.

Thanks for your committed thread. It really helped me get my act together. It does get easier with time. I hope the scale has good news tomorrow for us all.

Have a healthy day!
