Biggest Loser--Fall 2011 Challenge for Losers & Maintainers!!

[lisah0711]

Good morning losers and maintainers!

I couldn't get the Wii balance board to work yesterday. It can't hurt to try again.

There is a way to reset that thing -- maybe Google it. Hope you figure it out! But be careful because I think my PF flareup started from using it without shoes.

Is anyone actually watching the BL this season? I tivo it and usually get to it on the weekend. I like the 2 new trainers, much more than I liked the 2 new ones last year...

I'm watching it, Maria. I like these trainers better than the last set, too. Bob is acting so whacky I don't miss Jillian too much. I'm behind a week right now. You can also stream the shows on your computer from the NBC website if you need to save room on your TiVo.

But overall I think I am ok. I did 40 minutes of weight lifting and abs yesterday + ran 4.38 miles with an average of less than a 12 min mile. I'm not exactly fast yet but I'm getting better. Surprisingly I'm not too sore this morning, just a bit stiff but not that sore.

You sound pretty darn speedy to me!

YAY! I have broken that pesky plateau that I have been stuck at for months. Unfortunately though it is mostly because I am having an IBS flare up, but you know at this point I will take just about anything to break that 3 pound range that I have been stuck at.

Woo hoo for breaking the plateau! Sorry about the tummy troubles.

Most insane day ever. Three in one week? How does that happen? Next week when I'm NOT coach, nothing will happen...I just don't get it!

QOTD 10/19- This Friday, I have plans to meet a bunch of my friends to go to my town's Amazing Maize Maze after dark. Does your town do anything like this? Have you ever been before?

Thanks for coaching this week, Kaiti!

We don't have a corn maze in our area this year. We've done them before. I think we went too early in the season as the furrows were still really hard to walk around and it was crazy dusty. I think we decided we got it out of our system after that one time. The pumpkin patch used to be a favorite, though, we used to worry that DS was going to face plant in a rotten pumpkin while we were walking through the fields -- good times, good times!

Speaking of which, I hardly ever DIS while at work and yesterday morning, I got there and was like maybe I'll hop on to see what's new with DCL. I've been watching and waiting for them to announce the 2013 itineraries and bookings dates and when I logged onto the DIS, there was a post that bookings had started an hour before I logged on So, I immediately logged in and got the cruise and room that I wanted. Thank heavens for the DIS once again, because DCL didn't make an announcement before they started taking ressies. And here I was all excited to finally be a gold member to book ahead and they didn't even offer it this time around Andway that's my highlight for the week

What?!? You tell us you booked a cruise but you didn't tell us anything about it? How can we live vicariously through your travel plans if you don't share?

Hola friends!

Sorry I've been so MIA this week! Busy, busy days. But I PROMISE I will be here BRIGHT AND EARLY tomorrow morning for my stint at your coach! Been formulating the QOTD in my head.... time to get them down in writing! I'll try to pop on later today and at least catch up on the last 48 hours of posts! TTYL.....................P

Hola, pjlla! Someone taking Spanish at your house this year? Thanks for being our next coach!

Apparently my losses are all going to be "whooshes" this challenge. I did my weigh in early as I am going to Seattle for the week-end to see my Mom and sister since Monday is my Mom's birthday. Four pounds and puts me within one pound of where I need to be at the end of October to keep on track.

Have a great week-end everyone! It hard to post from the iPhone but I will be reading along.

 

[lisah0711]

I did not fall off the face of the earth! I've been so busy and trying to catch up on sleep, so I haven't even been turning the computer on. My goal this week was to wake up early every morning and go running before I start my day...HAHA that whole waking up early thing doesnt really work for me!

Bummer about the hip, Trina! Swimming would be an excellent thing -- maybe a stationary bike. The good news is that Jeff Galloway says that you keep your conditioning for about three weeks so ten days will be tough but you won't be starting at square one.

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

Maria about the only things I TIVO now are Castle, BL, Giuliana and Bill, Downsize, Army Wives and Drop Dead Diva. I moved the cable box upstairs and the TIVO is now downstairs which I let the kids have. Typically I watch TV while getting ready for bed but honestly we've been so busy it really doesn't get turned on to much.
I actually like the silence now that the kids are home. DH and DS15 have been doing a Band of Brothers marathon lately so I've been hiding in my craft room.

 

[glss1/2fll]

Haven't had any time to post, but I have been trying to read along. Hopefully things are slowing down around here! I had a lovely whoosh last week, then immediately sabotaged it by going to Grandma's house for 3 days! Been working on just a semi-sabotage as I scramble to figure out food when there's no time to hit the stores! You can only do so much with freezer and pantry stuff! Don't know if my family has reached its limit, but I certainly have! Today I'm not working (purposefully didn't answer my phone!) and will plan/shop later. First I have to go buy some new running shoes. There is no way I can run another step in the ones I have. My knees and feet are killing me. I'm starting to get antsy because it's been 6 days since I ran. Can't wait for those shoes! And that in itself is an answer to a QOTD a while back. I never in a million years dreamed I'd like running!

Other QOTDs I remember--our town has many, many corn mazes/pumpkin patches in the surrounding area. And I think it was last year that a haunted house put on every year by the deaf community was made over in one of those extreme home makeover shows. Not something I go to, or watch so I ignored all the big happenings in town!
Can't remember the first Disney movie I saw, although I know I used to go to the movies all the time. The first movie we took our eldest to was Hercules. We laugh because nobody can remember DS2's first movie! We used to take our nieces to a movie on their birthdays. It was big stuff and pretty much always Disney. After viewing Beauty and the Beast, the part that intrigued one niece the most were the long yellow gloves Belle wore! It's the simple joys.

to everybody! Hope things are getting better for all those having some craziness right now.

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

Wow, it's not even 2 pm and I've got 4000 steps in, awesome!! DS15 has his XC championship today so I'll be running all over watching him run, I should get my 10,000 in by the end of the day.

It's also DS10's birthday today!! Happy birthday Panda Man!

OK, gotta get off this thing and gather supplies for DS15. He had a 1/2 day today so no lunch but didn't come home so I need to bring food. He doesn't run until 5.
Have a good afternoon and I'll pop back in later.

Buffy: It was awesome being a kid on that much land, until a fence had to be patched, cows rounded up and hay cutting. But I would not have traded it for the world. However I am jealous of the barn full of cars. I had a '57 Ford Truck when I was 16, but being a teenager I just had to have something different so I sold it. Wish I still had that old truck.


I use sun screen when I'm out during the day, take a supplement with vitamin D, and I do lotion periodically (That does not leave here though, what would the world think about a man that uses lotion? )

I hope you all have a great day!!!

Tim

Dh uses lotion on rare occassion. Last night he was complaining of itching since the heat is now one. He had me put lotion on his legs and back. Not sure if it stopped the itching or not as I went to bed



Good Morning. I need to run out the door. DH is about the same. The pain has not begun to subside yet, hopefully it will soon. The school did talk to the third boy yesteday and Hunter said there were no further events. He was happy last night.

Nick did not get his license yesterday, had a back tire 1 " onto the grass on a VT turnaround which is automatic failure he had no points taken off for anything else.

I'm hanging in there, but have so much more to do. I just realized that I've got a cold starting. If I can make it through today and all the doctor's appointments tomorrow morning I think I might have a few minutes of down time before Hunter's party on Sunday.

 

[my3princes]

I missed the QOTD: Our town has pumpkin in the park. It is geared toward the 12 and under age group, but the parents all hang out. They have games, a haunted wagon ride, ghost story telling, a carved pumpkin contest and a costume contest. I't done after dark and the kids love it.

We also have a family a few towns over that LOVES halloween. They hire a decorating company to come in and completely trick out their yard, garage, the outside of their house as well as completely redecorating on room of their home into that theme and it stays that way for an entire year. Last year it was pirate themed with graveyards, ships , stockaids, fires, canons in every window, treasure. It was over the top amazing. They gave each trick or treater a gift sized bag of full sized candy bars.

 

[JacksLilWench]

HAAAAA!!!!!!!! Funny you ask, because Kathy (mikamah) and I both live in Danvers, home of the famous corn maze where the poor couple got lost and had to call 911.


Be careful

Hahahaha That was the funniest thing I'd heard in a while. And it's okay to laugh because no one got hurt, lol!

I get mine at GNC, http://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2134124

Make sure it's organic extra virgin though, that's the purest one.

You can also use it in food as a substitute for cooking oils. And it's really good for you.

I use it in my hair before I wash it (a little goes a long way), on my skin as a lotion and it was the only thing that kept my hives from driving me crazy.




We had a corn maze last year but they closed that farm. We've been to Lyman Orchards once but it's pretty far away.
My town doesn't have anything available to residents. PTO and the fire house do a Trunk and Treat but I don't know if we are going to go this year.

I might have to be ordering some coconut oil soon! Thanks for the tip!

Oh, I love Trunk of Treats! What would you do instead if you don't go?

Well, I live in the big city of Boston, so as far as I know we don't have a corn maze...I think the closest one to me is the infamous one in Danvers. If I got lost I would be yelling, "Kathy! Sue! Get me out of here, I'm going through DIS withdrawal

Maria

Hahahaha, you guys are too funny! If I didn't like warm weather so much, I might make the move to come be a part of the Boston Disers!

We had a great one where we lived before but haven't been to one since we moved here. I decided that it was time again so actually just looked one up the night before last that is close enough for us to go to. But not sure at this point when we will have time! I would like to go on Sat. but DD15 may be going to do stuff with a friend, and DD11 has a sleepover party starting at 4. And my hope is that I can enjoy the maze on my feet but probably need to have my wheelchair as backup ( I am guessing I won't be able to use my ECV) , but I loaned it to MIL and won't get it back until next weekend. It is open until mid November so we may go after Halloween, but I need to also check DD's band schedule.

I hope you get time to go. The maze in my town is pretty flat, so you might be able to use your ECV

Thanks for coaching this week, Kaiti!

Yikes!! I hope he never face plants, that would really turn him off to Halloween!

It's always the small things you remember, and the ones that give us the most joy, I think

Oooo, I wanna come to THAT house for Halloween!!

 

[JacksLilWench]

Well, since we all seem to be in a Halloween-y mood...

QOTD 10/20- Haunted Mansion or Tower of Terror??

This one is easy, since I feel like I've given you guys hard questions all week, haha! I would have to say Haunted Mansion. There's just so much to see in there! But then again, TOT is jam-packed with stuff too...

I can't decide! No trip to WDW is complete without at least twice around on each!

It's been so fun to be y'alls coach this week. I can't wait to see your responses!!

 

[bellebookworm9]

QOTD 10/20- Haunted Mansion or Tower of Terror??

Oh gosh, that is tough, but I think I have to go with Tower of Terror, since it's tied with Soarin' as my favorite attraction.

Today was my first day with no Tuesday/Thursday afternoon class, so I took a two hour nap and it was glorious. Then I spent a good chunk of the afternoon typing out a word doc with answers to any questions I could possibly get asked during my interview, thanks to the DIS. A little over the top, perhaps, and I don't know how much I'll reference it, but it made me think about the answers and I feel more prepared. I've narrowed down my top 4 choices of roles: Character Attendant, Main Gate Operations (tolls, parking, trams, turnstiles), Hospitality (hotel front desk), and Full Service Food & Beverage (hostess).

One of the questions for Main Gate was whether or not you feel memorizing spiels and delivering to large groups of people. I was unsure about that, and then I had an epiphany: "Dear self, you are a TOUR GUIDE. You give 90-120 minutes spiels to various size groups ALL THE TIME!" Way to go me for forgetting something like that!

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

I might have to be ordering some coconut oil soon! Thanks for the tip!

Oh, I love Trunk of Treats! What would you do instead if you don't go?

We will probably go up into the neighborhood above us. We live on a really busy street, not a subdivision. There is a small subdivision up about 2 miles from here straight up the hill. the problem is the houses are really spaced apart so it's walk to 2 or 3, get the car, move it down, repeat. It's a pain.
We also go to Mystic Seaport and trick or treat in all the colonial buildings there but the kids think it's boring, I like it for the photo ops.

QOTD 10/20- Haunted Mansion or Tower of Terror??

Neither

 

[pjlla]

Okay.... I came on here thinking I'd breeze through a few pages and be caught up, but I think I've missed some big events (injuries, illnesses, big life decisions!), so I'm going to say good night for now and come back tomorrow and read more carefully!

I've got my first chiropractic appointment at 8:30 tomorrow morning. I'll post the QOTD before I go and then be back after to chat! TTYL.................P

QOTD 10/19- This Friday, I have plans to meet a bunch of my friends to go to my town's Amazing Maize Maze after dark. Does your town do anything like this? Have you ever been before?

Sore subject! I got an awesome groupon deal on a corn maze here back in September but DH/DS thought it sounded "stupid" and didn't want to go. I wasted $18 on the groupon. Meant to find out if I could give it away to someone else but never got around to it so it was totally wasted. I hate waste! We also have a "Fear Farm" in our area too......

Well, since we all seem to be in a Halloween-y mood...

QOTD 10/20- Haunted Mansion or Tower of Terror??

That's a toughie, they are both great. I'm gonna go with Haunted Mansion, lasts longer and seems like there's more to it. Tower of Terror seems like a long wait for a quick experience.

Lisa, my first Disney movie was also Mary Poppins! We grew up a very modest family, parents both educators but my Dad bought a new Ford every 2 years.

Hello all! Haven't been posting or reading much lately but hoping to get back into it. Eating has been out of control lately but I am not gaining more. Currently up 2 lbs from my lowest this challenge. I've been working out HARD at the Y about 4 days a week and I can tell such a difference! I feel so much firmer, energized, clothes fitting better. But, an outrageous appetite!

Have not seen Tracey yet this week although she is only about 15 miles away from me! We hope to see each other briefly Saturday morning on her way home. I am sure she will talk my head off She has such amazing energy.

Have a great weekend and to those that need one. I need to read back and find out what's been going on

Wait i missed something (was away and couldn't catch up) What are you interviewing for??

 

[bellebookworm9]

Wait i missed something (was away and couldn't catch up) What are you interviewing for??

LOL the Disney College Program. I've quoted all my associated worries.

Last night I applied to the Disney College Program. I'd been debating it since last weekend-I only have 12 credits left to do before I graduate, and none of them are requirements, either for my major or gen eds. I'm not happy here anymore, and my mom actually encouraged me to apply. I got through the application and web based interview (How does this statement describe you? Strongly agree, agree, neutral, disagree, strongly disagree) which identified me as a strong candidate and I have a phone interview on Sunday morning at 9:15. I should hear back with a few weeks. I'm so nervous to tell my friends/housemates. They are going to be so disappointed if I leave them. I'm so nervous I actually am not eating all that much.

I've sent out some e-mails to administrative people here asking questions-like will Geneseo itself give me credit, or do I have to go through a community college I know will give me 12 credits. I am freaking out right now, and I have to go take a final in less than an hour. Not a lot of people know about this-my mom, obviously, and a friend that did the CP last year, plus a few people here on the DIS.

I didn't tell my directly affected housemates yet, but I told the other two and they think it will be great. I did tell my other friend and she was obviously trying not to cry. I went to an on campus presentation tonight and got a bunch of my questions answered and I'm really excited now-and will be devastated if I don't make it.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to reapply. This spring is my last semester as an undergrad, and while I can technically apply as a grad student, my program is too rigorous and structured to do it then. So I'm just thinking positive. I have a meeting with the Dean of the College on Tuesday to discuss credits and such. I might not actually have to take any classes while I'm there, but I might take one for fun-"Exploring Disney Heritage". According the campus rep at the presentation last night, the internship itself counts for the credit and is based on how many hours you work. Since it's a full time job, I should get at least my 12 credits.

I told my boss this afternoon and she literally put her fingers in her ears and went "lalalalala...you aren't leaving, I'm going into denial mode". I also told my housemates and they were very supportive-no meltdowns or freakouts, thank goodness. I've been so nervous about telling people the last few days that I really haven't been eating, and definitely not tracking. This morning I was down to my lowest weight so far, and I'm only about 5 pounds from one-derland.

Good Friday morning everyone.

I have been very busy writing letters for my calc students. I have been hand writing them and then going in early to type them. I don't spend as long on the computer this way. I am hoping to finish them up next week.

I sent Tracey the website for the pattern she wanted. Yes I get together with a friend and we make a number of them. She has other groups making them and then she gives them out to hospitals. We are working on Christmas ones now.

QOTD Haunted Mansion I have never done TT and have no desire. I remember seeing HM being introduced on Wonderful World of Disney so when I went to DL I couldn't wait to ride it. We always ride it a couple of times during our trip. If you have never ridden it at midnight you should try it once. It feels so different and the riders are a little crazier.

I would love to talk more but I need to get in and type up a letter.

Have a happy and healthy day.

 

[pjlla]

Happy Friday morning!

My name is Pamela and I will be your coach this week! I hope everyone is well.... I've had a busy week and haven't been able to keep up with the chatter as I like to this past week.

I will be posting the QOTD right now and be back later to chat!

Today's QOTD:

Are you a spiritual person? Do you believe in a "higher being" (God, Allah, or whatever your particular religion believes)? If so, do you think that your beliefs can help with the weight loss/healthy lifestyle journey? (BTW, let's keep this light and fun.... no negatives here, no matter WHAT is said about any particular belief!! okay??)


And a "fluff" question for fun!

Suppose you are approached by the "What Not To Wear" team and they are asking you to discard your entire wardrobe (in exchange for a new better one, of course). Well... as Disney lovers we ALL have Disney clothes we love (and Stacey and Clinton would NOT understand this). What one piece of Disney-related clothing would you hide so that you could keep it away from the WNTW garbage can??

I'll be back later to see what everyone has to say and to respond myself! Have a SUPER Friday!.....................P

Hope you have a great day too! I have been reading, but am so tired, that I don't seem to post. Pamper Week is coming up. I KNOW I NEED IT!

QOTD: Some people think I'm too religious, but that is a whole other debate. I consider myself religious and spiritual. However, I (believe it or not) have never considered putting those beliefs into weight loss. I may have to try that. Ahh, P, always with her wonderful ideas!

Fluff QOTD: Can I just say that there are multiple people, namely my sister and mom, who are dying to nomiate me for What Not to Wear?!?!?! And, quelle horreur, I do not own a Disney shirt, etc. I did have a Daisy Duck hat, but I haven't seen that in years.

Have a great day everyone! Thanks for coaching P and Kaiti!

 

[cclovesdis]

I'm taking a hint from my own life, it is TIME for a Pamper Week!

Healthy Habits Pamper Week

At least once a challenge, we pause and have a mini-challenge every day to "pamper" us. These tend to be simple things, but ones that make a huge difference. Please Note: There are no points to count and submit.

Since I am a little late for today, I am going to combine Friday's into this weekend's 2 mini-challenges.

Pamper Week for WISH BL Fall 11 Challenge Weekend of 10/21:

Your 2 mini-challenges are 1) Spend some time outside relaxing in the fresh air. It is supposed to be nice enough throughout North America for the next few days, so I hope that everyone does this. I'm not a medical professional at all, but everything I've read lately says that Vitamin D is so important, and that a good source of it is exposure to the sun.

2) Have a glass of milk. Soy milk, cow's milk, almond milk, calcium-fortified OJ, etc. Let's give our bones the calcium they need.

 

[dvccruiser76]

DH and I hit that drive-in while we were dating. Hit Kitty's for a pizza, drive-in, then back to Kitty's for a drink!!!

Do you still go to Kitty's? It's the one in Reading/North Reading on 62 right? I've never been, but always wondered about it.

I told DH that the next time we go to a corn maze I am bringing survival gear and flares! He seems to think that would be a bad idea in a dry corn field-- MEN!

Indeed

I also just came back from the doctor, I've been having pain in my hip and ive been ignoring it but its gotten really bad, and after my run on tuesday i couldn't even walk. He told me its Hip Bursitis and i cant run for ten days! I'm pretty upset about it, especially since i have three races coming up in the next month. I'm worried about falling behind and unsure of what excersizes i can do untill i can run again. he said nothing high impact, and i could possibly swim. I'm also really worried about gaining while im laid up for ten days. Does anyone have any suggestions of things I can do to not sabatoge all the hard work ive put in because of this stupid injury?

Oh no, hope you're feeling better and that the 10 days fly by for you

What?!? You tell us you booked a cruise but you didn't tell us anything about it? How can we live vicariously through your travel plans if you don't share?

Ha, sorry. I think since it's so far away (May 2013) it's too early to get too excited Well, this is the DIS so maybe not.

We booked a 7 night western on the Fantasy. DS will be 3 when we go, so I'll have to look into whether or not we'll do any excursions. On the Dream 4 night we did in May we only got off the boat at Castaway Cay. We've been to Nassau and didn't want to drop about $100 per person to go to the pool at Atlantis when we could use the Mickey pool for free. DS loved that pool, so it worked out nicely. It'll be easier to travel with a 3 year old, but since it'll be a new boat for us again we may not get off. Time will tell.

I'm just happy to have something booked

Hahahaha That was the funniest thing I'd heard in a while. And it's okay to laugh because no one got hurt, lol!

Exactly

Well, since we all seem to be in a Halloween-y mood...

QOTD 10/20- Haunted Mansion or Tower of Terror??

Tower of Terror for me hands down But we always do both when we go.

Today was my first day with no Tuesday/Thursday afternoon class, so I took a two hour nap and it was glorious. Then I spent a good chunk of the afternoon typing out a word doc with answers to any questions I could possibly get asked during my interview, thanks to the DIS.

I've narrowed down my top 4 choices of roles: Character Attendant, Main Gate Operations (tolls, parking, trams, turnstiles), Hospitality (hotel front desk), and Full Service Food & Beverage (hostess).

Those sound like good choices. When do you find out?

I've got my first chiropractic appointment at 8:30 tomorrow morning. I'll post the QOTD before I go and then be back after to chat! TTYL.................P

Good luck tomorrow let us know how you like it.



Morning fellow losers Happy Friday. I've had 3 weigh-ins so far, so good luck to everyone and please keep them coming.

DH and I are both off today so we're going to take DS to Imajine That for the day.

It looks like another nice one out there
