Jana - I agree about the BL challenge withdrawals!! I was thinking about a "support group" too but I love Mike's idea of a new challenge around Fear Factor or something. That sounds fun.

Helen - you did so awesome last week!! Huge congrats to you - through worrying about your medical tests and dealing with office snacks you still lost weight - now who's got the control? You rock!

Mike - love the new ticker! How did you get your picture on it? Thanks for the link to the website, I didn't realize they were doing that.

 

[MinnieMouseMom]

WTG Everyone!

I'm up .2 this week, but I'll take it after the week I had.

 

[Mykelogan]

Hehehehe! Thanks jennifer!!

You can definitely lose that pound and more this week!! I know you can!!!
Don't make me go all Jillian again!

The NBC Biggest Loser site is very cool. They have forums on there too with lots of inspiring folks.

Mike

 

[jennz]

A little Jillian never hurts...

MinnieMouseMom - great attitude! That's coming off this week (the weight not the 'tude )

bcvprincess - how're the workouts at the gym going?

Shelia - great job staying even! You're gaining days are behind you (pun intended)

Marty - you're in the same situation as me , our pounds will be falling this week!

Congratulations to K&K's Mommy and Helen for breaking through the 10 pound barrier!!

Mike I just noticed you'll be at WDW in just over 2 weeks...how exciting!! Do you have a special treat/reward planned for yourself?

 

[MinnieMouseMom]

MinnieMouseMom - great attitude! That's coming off this week (the weight not the 'tude )

LOL Thanks!!

 

[Mykelogan]

Hi Jennifer!

The whole trip is my treat/reward! hehe Especially if I meet my goal of being able to walk the whole trip without needing a scooter!!!

Mike

 

[jennz]

Oh Mike - I'm so excited for you!! I didn't realize what a HUMONGOUS (sp?) change you are going through in your life - that is so fantastic! Do you think you'll be able to do it this time? To even be able to consider - what a huge step! Okay now for the mother in me - don't push yourself and over do it, using the scooter is perfectly okay and you need to stay healthy to continue your remarkable progress and take many many more trips to WDW and to plan a meet in April 2006.

 

[mountaineer]

Ok, I'm trying this again. I had a long reply typed out and "the server was too busy".

Jennifer, you're a great cheerleader!! I'm glad there are at least 2 of us on this two steps forward, one step back dance. But we'll get to our goal eventually, right?

I did step aerobics and bike today for 90 min.

K and K's mommy, I'm a little concerned about the cake. But I dont' like chocolate and that's probably what he'll get so I will be able to ignore it.

We are going to Chuck E. Cheese for his birthday on Sat. I've been trying to decide what to eat (if anything!!) there. Maybe a salad.

Marty

 

[K and K's Mommy]

Marty - We're here for you with the birthday weekend! Definitely plan what you are going to eat before you go. I'm sure they have a salad bar - lots of veggies, little dressing. GOOD LUCK!

I did not get my exercise in today. I knew I wouldn't during the day so I was hoping to exercise when my DH got home from work. He ended up having to work late. I know I should do it now, but once the kids are in bed, I just want to veg!

Have a great Thursday everyone! I would love to continue this after the show is over!

 

[jayna22]

I just wanted to say that I think you are all very inspiring! I don't talk much, but I read and follow everyone's success stories. Keep up the good work!

I also like the idea of Fear Factor challenges--as long as I don't have to eat anything tooooo disgusting!

Jana

 

[jennz]

Jana, I think Mike said something about the first challenge being raw tofu mixed with canned spinach and liver...

Jennifer, you're a great cheerleader!! I'm glad there are at least 2 of us on this two steps forward, one step back dance. But we'll get to our goal eventually, right?

Thanks Marty! And yes we will get to our goal eventually and it will last since we know what to do if we gain a week.

I exercised yesterday for 60 minutes! Today it's off to the Children's Museum with 100 2nd graders - definitely not my thing! And then a stop off at happy hour - oops! I mean home and maybe hop on the treadmill.

Has anyone tried that Ezekiel bread that they talk about on BL? I haven't found it here. I HAVE found Bread of Life though - delicious Banana Nut muffins, HUGE and 140 calories/0 fat. Also some very tasty chocolate chip brownies, 150 cals/0 fat and they're huge too, I had 1/2 for dessert last night. I do want to try the Ezekiel bread though.

 

[WeirdEyes]

Shelia - great job staying even! You're gaining days are behind you (pun intended)

Thanks Jennifer for being so motivating!!!!

Please add ONE HOUR to our workout totals!! My legs were jelly after doing 4.7 miles on the NordicTrack.

 

[bcvprincesses]

Had to work 16 hours yesterday and boy am I tired. I think I will go to the gym later today. I am really loving it there. Thanks to everyone here for all your support. You gave me the kick in the butt that I needed to go.

I lost 1 lb last week. I still can't believe that Matt lost so much weight last week on the show. I wonder what he did?????

Everyone keep up the good work.

[helenk]

It seems like this week is off to a great start with everyone being very motivated!
I walked only a 1/2 hour yesterday, I got home too late to get in another 1/2 hour...but 1/2 hour is better than nothing.
..
Mike you will be in WDW the same time my husband and I will, our dates are 12/4-12/9...its getting closer and closer. I'm really getting excited!
...
I'm hoping to lose a few more pounds before the trip, it will be hard over Thanksgiving, but I am going to try and stay away from the pies and other goodies.

 

[Mykelogan]

Mike you will be in WDW the same time my husband and I will, our dates are 12/4-12/9...its getting closer and closer. I'm really getting excited!

Oh cool! I am so excited now that I have a different dream every night that somehow relates to travel or Disney! LOL If you're interested, we're having a WISH meet at lunch time on the 7th at DTD. Around 8 or so people coming I think. If you are interested I can get more details to you, if not no worries!!

Have a great day all!!! It is a gym day for me, so I will report my min later!

Mike

 

[MinnieMouseMom]

WTWork it PURPLE team!!

30 mins of WATP this morning

 

[DoomBuggyBabe]

Geetings all,
Another bleah week for me, I'm afraid. Nothing lost (though nothing gained), and just 120 minutes of exercise to report. I did do 45 minutes at the gym yesterday (elliptical and a few weight machines) to start this week off, however. Don't think I'm making it there today, though. Very, very achy today. Think it's the dampness/change in temperature. Will force myself back tomorrow.
Keep moving,
Laura

 

[K and K's Mommy]

Laura - Don't say just 120 minutes! 120 is much better than 0!! Way to go!

I'm glad I read these today. I am not feeling energized! I think it is the change in weather. I did get in 40 minutes of walk/run on the treadmill.

Jennifer - How was the museum? 2nd grade is what I taught before I was a stay at home mom. I loved it! Hopefully it wasn't too crowded! I bet you got some exercise walking all over the museum!

 

[Mykelogan]

Hi All!

60min at the gym today for me!

Keep up the great work!

Mike
