Biggest Loser 5 Week 4

[Foxfiregrrl]

Diva - I am too good at running my mouth to ever keep my weight loss efforts a secret. I really wish that I could at times though. My coworkers (in my immediate group) are all bigger than I am and don't really make much effort to change. I on the other hand have been working at this off and on for three years. I feel like it is a VERY slow process but that is because it is about changing my life not fad dieting. They all say they are supportive, but they are at times saboteurs and I don't know if they mean to or not. Of course, I'm pretty good at sabotaging myself too Anyway, I think it is neat that you are dieting on the sly! Can't wait to hear when people start to notice!! I bet it is already showing, but you know when you see someone everyday it is hard to notice.

So... with that said, I have been my own saboteur for the past few weeks and I felt like especially this week. I have not been eating well since the challenge started, but I was at least maintaining my workouts. Well, this week the workouts went out the window

BUT somehow I'm down a tad this week I am finally below my start weight after going up then coming down some but not enough. So, I'm not sure what is going on. What I think is that my body knew how close I was to just more or less giving up and it decided to give me a good weigh in day to kick start my getting back on track!

So, today is a new day! I didn't do too bad today and I plan to go to the gym in the morning so here's to a good week!!!!

What Kind Of Friend Are You? (*_*)

The Playful Friend

"Should we go surfing or to the amusement park today?" You're fun and adventurous, and friends come to you when they're looking to have a good time. Best Quality: You're up for anything and people regard you as entertaining. Worst Quality: You're intimidating, and people find it harder to be really close with you.


Some of the answers weren't what I would have chosen. I guess I chose the next best thing in those instances.

The hardest part, right now, is keeping track of things. For instance, we just finished dinner and, now that DH is upstairs, I'm frantically searching the kitchen, trash and internet for calorie counts. LOL!! Dinner was halibut, asparagus and pasta....yummy! As usual, DH brought home some chocolate. But, he also brought home his favorite beer and gave me some. Seriously, he buys beer about 2X a year!! Why now??!! LOL! We very rarely drink alcohol!!

I hope it starts to show soon. We saw some friends on Tues. that we hadn't seen in a few weeks and they didn't say anything.

Hang in there Fox!! have a good work-out tomorrow!

So I am
The Inspirational Friend

"I'm protesting to save the whales tomorow, wanna come?" Your friends look up to you, as you are either really talented or trying to change the world around you. You might be something they're not. Best Quality: You're selfless and giving. Worst Quality: You can be jealous and absent-minded.

Sounds like a pretty good fit actually.

Down .1

Important thing is I'm still focused on working out and eating right. I see big changes in my body and my confidence, though losing weight too would be SWEET!

Didn't get to knock off the stressful things on my list before midnight, but they are at the top of my list of things to do today. Won't get points, but I'm looking forward to getting rid of the stress they are causing me!

I am a 'compassionate friend' according to the test. Mostly because I have learned to keep my mouth shut and just be there for my friends instead of thinking they deserve my opinion on their decisions

My relationship with my husband directly influences my life. He is my complete opposite in so many ways, especially how we approach food and activity levels. Being handicapped, he can't walk with me or go to the gym, but he is supportive that I do. But, he is also supportive if I don't
I eat more fruits and vegetables in a day than he does in a month!! He has a very high metabolism and can eat whatever he wants. He also doesn't have 'food' issues. He has other issues! We love each other no matter what, but my weight loss journey has been a solo one. It's 100% up to me whether it happens or not. He's my cheerleader no matter what happens.

I'm assuming that we can talk to any loved one for a 1/2 hr six different times this week...My husband's head would spin if he had to be the only one to talk to me for 3 whole hours this week

Good Luck everyone! Have a great week!!

I am the "Compassionate Friend" which I think is funny because I'm usually the smart a$$ friend that makes a joke out of everything!?

 

[mom2twinz3]

Well, it figures...my weight was the same yesterday when we had to weigh-in. But today when I got on I was down 2 lbs!

Must have been holding some water yesterday. Hey, I'm not really complaining though. Hopefully it will just show for the next weigh-in.

I am the The Inspirational Friend... That is me, it is pretty accurate.

 

[Tart Annihilator]

Congrats on the weight loss everyone. Great Job!

I only lost 1 lb this week. But, a loss is a loss. Right?

I had a great workout today in the gym. A lot of cardio. I do need to concentrate on my abs. (We all love that middle age spread. It's really gotten worse in the last 6 months.)


In case I don't get on here tomorrow...

Happy Mother's Day to all you Mommies.

Good Monday Morning Everyone Congrats to all the great losers last week. I wasn't one of them and after this weekend I don't expect to be one this week either.

Graduation was beautiful on Sat.WE then went out to dinner. It was more than I usually eat but I had also skipped lunch on Sat and dinner was very early. But something didn't sit well with me and I came home feeling pretty sick. It also didn't help that my sinuses and throat were also closing up. I am feeling better this morning since I spent yesterday doing nothing.

Here on the east coast it is dark and rainy this morning. I hope everyone from the middle of the country is safe after the terrible tornados this weekend.

I did get up and walked for a half an hour. As I was getting dressed the lights went out. ALl I could think about was ds2 taking his last AP exam this afternoon and school being closed. They came back on after about a minute. But now I have to reset all the clocks.

Hope everyone had a great weekend and a good MOnday.

 

[spima3]

well, down 1 lb this week, which would normally be exciting but gained two pounds the first week, so I'm really only back to where I started.
I have been exercising more and have been more conscious of what I'm eating. I think I need to tighten that up significantly. Should be interesting to see what the results are the end of this week.

I have to go now as I need to meet friends for an a.m. walk. Good week to all.

Congrats all...hope everyone had a wonderful mother's day. DH took me out to eat yesterday....but I ordered salmon and grilled veggies.....so I stayed true to my diet. We were also able to visit DMIL on Saturday and DM on Sunday. It's so nice to that both mothers are close by and healthy....I consider myself a very lucky person.

I took the relationship quiz....it said I was the compassionate friend.....Ummmm....maybe...but prolly not!! It also said I was a push over, which does not fit me at all. I tend to be very independent and outspoken.... Maybe I need to re-take the quiz.

 

[JOANNEL]

Congrats everyone!!!

Question for JOANNEL: You are posting percentages, correct? I know, kinda late for me to figure this out. LOL!!

Yes it is a percentage not pounds.
