Biggest Loser Blue Team Week 2

[jennz]

Good morning everyone! Here's our new thread for week 2 of the challenge. Our "Just Say No" challenge seemed to motivate a lot of people so let's continue that this week and I'll post totals. Let's also continue our "Just Say Yes" to moving choices and exercise...I'll post totals for exercise as well. Here's the link to our Week 1 thread

Last week's summary...a total of 35.5 pounds gone, 53 "no's" and 8 hours and 5 minutes of exercise! :thewave:

We kind of talked about challenging the Red Team, shall we make it official for this week? Any ideas?

What are your personal goals for this coming week? Mine is to increase my exercise. I've been doing good on our Bowflex but I want to add walking in, so my goal is to walk 4 times this week.

Already today I haev 2 "no's" - to grabbing a cookie from DD's lunch box and grabbing some Pringle's while I was in the pantry getting her lunch snack out.

I like having a new thread for each week! I'll start my "No"'s and "Yes"s today .

 

[WeirdEyes]

Jennifer ~ I posted this on last week's thread and the weigh-in thread, but wanted to make sure you get me added to the totals. I lost one pound this week.

I've been saying NO a lot lately! LOL I've also been helping my parents move this week so I've gotten a lot of unconventional exercise (stength training and aerobic).

 

[jennz]

I got you in the other thread but I'll update this one! Congrats on your loss! Moving wears me out - and I "discover" long forgotten muscles.

 

[PRINCESS VIJA]

Hi guys, I posted on the other thread, but I would too, my loss so far is 1#. This morning I exercised 35 minutes and feel fantastic! I haven't exercised in awhile and it feels great.

My goals for this week are to journal everything I eat and exercise 4x. I've got one day of exercise in!

Today I said no to snacking after I dropped the kids off at school. We didn't have too good of snacks, and I started looking at those hot dogs. It would have been so easy to just pop one in the microwave, but I said NO!!!

3 Yes's.... woke up early, exercised, drank a bottle of water instead of soda!

 

[dopey4disney]

My goals this week are to exercise at least 4 days a week, drink all of my water every day and continue to say no.

I have 30 minutes of exercise so far this week.
I said no to the cherry turnovers at the Wal-Mart Supercenter this morning and yes to fresh pineapple.
I have already had one 20 oz. bottle of water, one 32 oz. mug of water and just refilled my second 32 oz. mug of water.

I would love to challenge the red team. I will try to think of something too.

Have a great day!! Let's get moving!!

 

[WeirdEyes]

Great job, everybody!!!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

my goals this week are to fit time in to exercise ....next week i wont be here starting thursday --im going to disney, but maybe all that walking will help me lose weight!

 

[geetey]

What a great first week, everyone!!! That's an awesome team number! Woo hoo!! My goal for this week is to count those No's and to add exercise to my routine. I just focused on food and drinking lots of water last week.

GO BLUE! ​

 

[jennz]

I have a lot to update already - you guys are keeping me busy! I went to lunch with a friend at Panera today and fortunately looked up the menu items before I went. I was planning on getting the Fandango salad, my favorite and I thought totally healthy - 29 grams of fat! Ouch! My whole day in a SALAD! Instead I got 1/2 an Asian Chicken Salad for 200 calories and 10 grams of fat and of course I ate a piece of bread and a Chai iced latte with skim milk. I made better choices than if I hadn't checked, that's for sure! So I said yes to trying something new and yes to ordering a 1/2 salad and NO to worrying about what the people would think if I asked for a 1/2 salad and skim milk in my tea! Those are big steps for me.

Princess Vija - Good job on turning down the hot dogs ...sometimes it's just so easy to snack I'm doing it before I realize it! I feel energized after I exercise too.

Christie - but the cherry turnovers would count as fruit wouldn't they? Oh wait wrong kind of support! I'll bet your pineapple will be much tastier and leave you feeling more satisfied and healthier - excellent choice!

Blueeyes - we'll be there 2 weeks from today! Did you plan an intinerary? Maybe we could challenge ourselves to "walk the parks" with you...

Geetey - great way to start off! I can't focus on too many things because then nothing seems to get my attention. Two huge positive changes...food and water - excellent!

So far we have: 3 "no's", 4 "yes's" and 1 hour and 40 minutes of exercise!

Go Blue!


BTW, did anyone see Biggest Loser last night? I made sure I watched it!

Are you sure your not working for the red team!!!

 

[jennz]

You found me out...I'm channeling Mike...

Hi Blue Team!!

Congrats on your great losses!! I should have known better than to try and tempt you all with cheesecake! I would love to be your work out guru too!!! I can be very "Jillian" if need be! (You'll have to have watched the show to know what that one means! She rocks!)

To make up for it, I have booked you all a weeks vacation at WDW with rooms in the Contemporary tower. I of course have added the meal plan and made you some wonderful ADRs at Chef Mickey's, Ohana's, Crystal Palace, etc. Enjoy the chocolate covered strawberries and welcome cakes I am having delivered to your rooms!

hehe!
Mike

Should we take him up on his offer to be our fitness guru? We've had "Jillian" requests! lol Mike - are families included in this and are the ressies in individual names or under your name? Thanks so much!

Hi Jenn,

The ressies are for four people each, just so you have the extra meal credits!

Mike

p.s. Why are you posting here and not exercising?? This is not a game!!!! This is your life!!! (How was that for a Jillian Moment? hehe!)

 

[jennz]

Love it! Are you related to Jillian in some way?? You MUST keep posting here! BTW, my family sends you big thanks and said we'll be getting some autographs for you.

 

[dopey4disney]

Thanks Mike!! What are the dates for our WDW trip. I'm so excited! I thought I wasn't going to get to go back until March. I think I will take my DSis to help with some of those meals.

 

[geetey]

Mike! But but but.... I thought the DIS was supposed to be our life!

Anyone know how to hook a laptop up to a treadmill? This could get tricky....

 

[QuiltTeddy]

I think Mike is really a blue team member in disguise.....or else he's just sooooooooo jealous of our great team.







Hey, blue team....don't worry, I arranged for a 30 pizza pie delivery (with all toppings) to the red team's chat room.

 

[geetey]

I hope you included lots of cheesy bread sticks too! Nothing like lots of good ooey gooey cheese bread to help a diet a long.

 

[jennz]

Good plan you guys!!
