Biggest Loser PURPLE Team -Official Week 7 (Oct 18 - 24)

[tinkamom]

WDWorBUST-That must have been scary when DD got the hives. DGD3 had that happen at WDW and it turned out to be the sunscreen! I remember looking down at her and seeing the welts and my heart just did a flip/flop! The strangest thing about it was that it was a special (read expensive!)hypoallegenic, for sensitive skin etc....lotion! And we had used it many times before! It was a sunscreen/insect repellant and I suspect it was the insect repellant that caused the reation. Good luck figuring out what caused your DD's reaction. And keep in mind any soaps, lotions, or sprays you had used.

Oh!......And CONGRATULATIONS FOR BEING THE BIGGEST LOSER THIS WEEK!!!!!!

DisneyFanz04-How lucky that you won the tickets to the game! Have a great time!

Karebear1-Keep up the hard work...It WILL come off as long as you don't give up. Maybe this week will be your big loss week! Make sure you drink your water!

CKJ-I've been reading your dining trip report, it's great! I'm going to make my ADR's soon and I just love reading dining reports to help me decide where I want to dine!

Hi Gang!! I hope you all had a terrific weekend! Why do weekends have to go by so quickly while weekdays drag along sometimes? Anyway, I wanted to check in and say hello. I'm going out of town to be with a family member going for major surgery tomorrow. I should be able to post my weigh-in on Wednesday. Here's to a great week of losing!!

Happy Monday All and Congrats to all you losers LOL. Karebear1 I have not lost a single ounce since we began so don't feel bad. I feel bad enough for everyone but I'm trying to re-vamp the strategy b/c something has to work here. My plan needs tweaking that's all and that's what I'm doing. This is as much for us individually as it is for the team so it's good we are all still hanging with our busy lives. I am joining Jenny Craig tomorrow so I hope that will be the answer for me as I was successful many years ago on it. I will be doing the 20 lbs for $20.00 just to make sure it fits my lifestyle and budget and gets the pounds moving. Wish me luck!!

Disneyfanz04 - PM me if you get a chance.

Hey Purple Team!!
How is everyone this morning?? I was sitting here at my desk and realized I was starving and then it hit me that I never got around to eating breakfast - that NEVER happens. Now I have a lunch meeting to go to and it's not for another hour. I think I'm going to grab me some yogurt to have now and then will eat the boxed lunch at the meeting. It shouldn't be too bad. Well DD went to the doctor this morning and it appears that her UTI is completely gone - but he couldn't really tell us anymore about the rash that has hung around since she broke out in hives Saturday night. He did say not to worry about it though unless she starts running a fever or feeling bad. He checked her over good and said she was fine. So I guess that's what we'll do.
Hope everyone is having a GREAT day!! Drink that water and eat healthy!!
GO PURPLE TEAM!!

GOOD AFTERNOON PURPLE TEAM!!!!

WDWorBUST Glad DD is doing better...I bet that was the scariest thing ever!!!!

tinkamom THANKS!!! I was sooooo excited!!! and so was he...lol.

CJK Thanks for letting us know that you would be away...and hope everything goes well with the surgery!!!

disprincess27 Can't wait to meet you tomorrow...and good luck with the J.C. I hope it works for you. Trust me I know how frustrating not losing or only losing a tiny bit is, hopefully J.C. will be just the thing your body needs to get in gear!!!

I have been doing awesome!!! I feel wonderful!!!! I made it to the gym this morning, and ran..yes I said ran(hehe) 3 miles, and DH and I are going again tonight to do 4 miles. I am really hoping for a big number on the scale on Saturday!!! I have really done good eating wise too...I will be extremely upset if the scale doesn't show me some lovin this weekend!!!

COME ON PURPLE WE HAVE TWO DAYS TILL WEIGH IN!!!

Hello everyone... Happy Monday!!!

Dizfan - Congrats on the hockey tickets. Love that sport (sorry, I'm more of a Devils fan than a Flyers game, but given the chance at "free" tickets, I would like the Flyers...) Have a great time...

Valentine - Hope tech week is going well. I remember what the week before a show was like and it was crazy. Hang in there and have a great show. I'm sure it will be awesome and we will all be thinking of you... Come on everyone, sing... TRADITION....

To those that aren't losing yet - HANG IN THERE!!!! IT will happen for you and then you will likely leave the rest of us in the dust... I am thinking good thoughts for you all this week.

My weekend went all right. I was a bit of a snacker yesterday, but not too out of control. Nothing some extra time at the gym won't fix.

Have a great night and I will talk to you all soon.
Paula

WHERE IS MY PURPLE TEAM?!?!?!?!?

Well got a call from the doctor and DD's UTI is completely gone - yay!!

I went to the gym and walked/jogged for an hour last night - WOOHOOO!!! I really didn't want to go at all so that was a major accomplishment to get there. I'm still debating tonight - I would like to get a short "last chance" workout in. But we told DD we would carve pumpkins tonight and I had already planned not to go tonight because my workout buddy has a prior engagement. My hip is a little sore from the jogging since I'm not used to it yet and it probably wouldn't hurt to let it have a day to recover since I'll be right back on the treadmill tomorrow night. I just don't think we could get the pumpkins done if I went - we don't get home until almost 6pm and DD is only 3 and we are working on getting her to bed before 10pm.....the little stinker.

I'm on course eating today. And yesterday went well also. I asked DH what he wanted for dinner last night and he said pizza - I asked him if that was a really wise choice financially (we're trying to get our budget under control and working towards paying off debt). So he said never-mind. So instead I went in the kitchen and whipped up a pizza crust and put sauce - very light cheese - chicken breast strips - black olives and mushrooms on it and we still had pizza for dinner - so another win in my life

So anyway - just wanted to check in and tomorrow is WEIGH DAY!!! Let's go purple team. We can win this battle!!!

 

[tinkamom]

Hey everyone! I ate well all week so WI should go fine tomorrow! Just one more day to get through! LOL! Its getting really cold here...it took a lot of effort to go out last night for my walk. I planned on walking throughout the winter but now I'm not so sure! I need to get a treadmill!

 

[WDWorBUST]

Okay - so my celebration was a little too soon. DD's UTI is cleared up but now she has stuffed a tissue so far up her nose my mom can't get it out. So my mom took her to her doctor's office and he's out of the office today. She sounded a little wigged out so I told her to take her to Urgent Care....so there you have it another office visit copay for my precious DD. Ugh - in the last 4 days this is her 3rd doctor's visit.

GOOD AFTERNOON PURPLE TEAM


OMG WDWorBUST...your poor DD...UGH...hope everything is OK...keep us updated...

I did well yesterday and today...Iwould up going to the gym last night and doing another 4 miles, so I got in a total of 7 miles yesterday...I also went this morning and did 3 miles, and hopefully DH won't be too tired to go tonight, then I can get in another 4 miles. I did really well with eating too, and I have been drinking so much water I feel like I am going to float right out of the house!!!! I really hope this week brings big numbers on the scale!!!! GOOD LUCK FOR WEIGH IN TOMORROW!!!!

PLEASE get me number ASAP, so we can post...I hate for the other teams to have to wait for us for totals...I know there are a few that WI on Thursdays and that is fine, just get me numbers when you do!!!!

PURPLE TEAM ROCKS!!!!

 

[karebear1]

Good day everyone! Well, my report this week is not as awful as last weeks- it's not GREAT, but it's not bad eithre. I lost 1.5lbs. last week. The good news is I ma really seeing a change in how my body looks- and while I still have a lot of weight to lose, it's very exciting that I can see this change after only losing 15 lbs. I am down one size in clothes os far too!

I hope evryone else is doing ok too. Just keep in mind that EVERY LITTLE OUNCE COUNTS!!
