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

[my3princes]

Good Morning!!!!!!!!!!!

I slept well last night! Had a strange dream, but it was kind of fun (not in that way ) though.

Today is going to be a very OP day. I can feel it. I've decided to try using Sparkpeople. The new PointsPlus does not seem to be working very well for me. I'm sure it's me and not the program though. I know it is working very well for most of the people at my meeting. I will continue going to meetings as they are helpful. I also plan to keep using the Good Health Guidelines and to keep the points+ equivalency in the back of my mind.

I have a waxing appt later this morning and some other errands to run. The gym is almost on top of the salon, so I don't have any excuses to skip a workout today. I need to put away some laundry. Lately, my mom has been leaving it one place, but not so much this week. I better get going on that. I promise to be more active on the thread this week!

QOTD: When I was like 5-8, we loved going to Storyland. Now, I really can't take a 1-day trip. I always feel like if I go somewhere, I need to do it all. Actually, my BFF and I loved Newport, but unfortunately, we realized we didn't stay nearly long enough especially conidering the crowds on the July 4th weekend. We are planning to go back next summer and I will take a few vacation days.

Have a great, OP day everyone!

CC

The new Weight Watcher's plan does not work for me either. I want my old plan back. Of course I threw out all the materials when the new plan came out.

Sorry for taking so long this morning. I will be much better during the week. We did not get home until 1am so It took me awhile to get moving today.

Sunday July 10, 2011 QOTD:

What is your favorite summertime healthy treat?


I love to have really cold, fresh watermelon!!!! and when I need an ice cream fix I get the turkey hill lite cookies and cream ice cream and plop one serving onto a cone. Or I get Rita's sugar free pink lemonade ice. They are both tasty and less calories and fat that the traditional treats.

Berries. I love blueberries, strawberries and raspberries. I've had some yummy fresh peaches too


Yesterday's QOTD: We've done a day trip to the Six Flags this summer. For our family we do a lot of camping weekends and those tend to have day trips built in. Last weekend was a trip to Santa's Village. We'll being hitting the beach, Six Flags (again), the NASCAR race, some car shows and who knows what else.


I've been super diligant this weekend and am starting to lose a few of those lbs that I've gained the last couple of weeks. I need to come up with a plan for work as I tend to eat through the day which I don't do at home. Couple that with sitting for 10 hours and I've got issues.

Shawn- Did you hear me screaming at the Refs???? They were horrible!!!!! So glad that it turned out the correct way!!!!

What HS is your son going to? My niece attends Green Hope.

TTFN

I only watched the last 2 mins of extra time so I guess I missed all of that! We turned it on at the right moment.

He will go to Holly Springs HS. Green Hope is a great school! It's where all the rich kids go All the schools here are good, just very crowded.

We are off to a 21st birthday party at the neighbors. Hope I can be good.
I have known this girl since she was 5 years old.

Enjoy the rest of your day

Shawn

We've been having a fun and busy weekend. Got yesterday off from work, and saw Zookeeper which was hilarious. Highly recommmend it, but I am a big Kevin James fan. He is so funny. Went to a friends last night, and then a little league game today to see my friends son play. Ds really enjoyed watching the game, it was free except for lunch at the snack bar, so it was a win-win. It's a jimmy fund tournament, so we'll probably go to another game later this week.

Hi Kathy, you are right, the weather here has been beautiful. Yesterday we went for a really long walk then a birthday party for one of Dylan's classmates at daycare. Today we walked about 2 1/2 miles again and stopped by the new ice cream place at Tapley. A former co-worker of mine owns the place, but she wasn't there when we went.

Have you been on the new rail trail? It's actually really nice.

I purchased our tickets to see Harry Potter next Saturday afternoon at 3:30 at the IMAX 3D in Reading! SO excited to seeit but I will have my tissues on hand as I know I'll cry.

We have been watching Harry Potter marathon this afternoon and now the girls are playing games on the PS3 before bed. Izzie got sick earlier. SHe said she ate too much pizza. Thought she would nap but now she's fine.

I'm caught up to the Order of the Phoenix, now I just need to re-watch the Half Blood Prince and DH Part 1 before I finish the book and go see DH Part 2.

I've been hearing that it's been selling out ahead of time. We'll probably give it a couple of weeks to die down first. We still need to see Transformers at the IMAX. We went to see Horrible Bosses and liked that last night.

You'll have to let me know how you like it.

Sue and Nancy, I just have to share that we had the opposite problem with DS, he started talking at 5 months and has not shut up since then Of course now that he is 14, he's not talking much with ME anymore

Ha, that's probably so true

Happy Birthday to SarahMay!!!!

Yes, Happy Birthday SarahMay

Sunday July 10, 2011 QOTD:

What is your favorite summertime healthy treat?

Hmmm... probably corn on the cob. Though we haven't had any yet this year

I'm still pushing the Poly but they have DVC at Beach Club and love it there....decisions!!! Anyway, it was so fun to be with family. I was exhausted last night!!

I'd vote for Poly since I haven't been, but if they have DVC the Poly is far too many points compared to the BCV. My favorite is the AKL and AKV. Have you stayed there before?

I'm excited tonight as I'm going to British Beer Company with some local ladies for trivia night, drinks and buy one get one pizzas! I'm going to allow myself one drink and one or two slices of pizza. I couldn't go last time so I'm excited to go this time! I have another lady picking me up so I can enjoy my drink!

Which BBC? I've been to one down on the Cape near Falmouth before. That's where DH and I first had dinner together.

 

[dumbo_buddy]

We had a wonderful day trip to the beach yesterday. It was hot and sunny. The kids loved the ocean. We went swimming back at my in laws hotel. Walked the boardwalk. The kids insisted on spending their money on hermit crabs...so now I have one more thing that I will end up having to take care of. We did not get home until 1am. So we were up from 430am sat. until 1am sun. It was quite a long day but very enjoyable and a much needed break from reality.

As far as eating it was pretty rough and I know I could have made alot of better choices but in all honestly I didnt want to. It was my one day this summer that we were doing this so I wanted to enjoy the things I like.

We had mcd's on the way down for breakfast so that was 11pts.
I got chicken fingers for lunch which was about 12 pts
Dinner was pizza for 10 pts
snack on the boardwalk was chickie and petes crab fries (philly thing) god only know how many points those were. I did only eat a large handful and then handed them off to my FIL.
I passed up ice cream!!!!!!

So tomorrow I am getting back into the groove. Today I need to recuperate and get some groceries.

I hope you all enjoyed your weekend as much as I did.

sounds like you had a FABULOUS day!! i would have eaten all of the stuff you ate plus more! you didn't get kohr's?? that right there is like deleting calories from your day! lol!!

Good Morning Lovely Ladies!!

I've been celebrating my birthday a little early so I have been absent from the thread...so I am checking in!

Friday was fun!! Birthday lunch with a former colleague, a Vera Bradley spree (lots of paper products for my desk and some flip flops!), birthday dinner for my dad at our favorite restaurant, and my DSis, DBIL, and DNephew arrived that night!!

Yesterday I spent the entire day with family celebrating all of the July birthday people with a party at my parent's house. My God Parents are bigger Disney fans than I am and bought me new black Mickey Fitflops!! Soooo excited! They are heading down to WDW for 18 nights in late July at OKW. I am sooo jealous! We are trying to coordinate things so that can all go at the same time in 2013...just can't figure out where we all want to stay for that trip. I'm still pushing the Poly but they have DVC at Beach Club and love it there....decisions!!! Anyway, it was so fun to be with family. I was exhausted last night!!

This morning I had birthday breakfast out with the family...my nephew is such a nut! He likes the song "Move it, Move it" and LOVES to sing it and do a little dance. They are headed back to PA today. I'm most likely going to clean up here a bit and do some relaxing by the pool. Brian returns tonight from his week at the shore with his mom....he sounded not happy last night when he called. She gives him a hard time all the time and it really drains him

Anyway, I am watching Harry Potter and cleaning at the same time. Need to throw in some laundry because I want to do nothing but relax tomorrow (MY BIRTHDAY!!).

Have a fabulous day and make great choices!!

have a wonderful birthday tomorrow! sounds like you've been enjoying it all weekend! that's the way to celebrate!!!

i wanted to put harry potter on when we got home but DS screams and yells if anything other than cars is on.

Favorite healthy Summertime treat: guess I can't say a mini Blizzard from DQ? I like those Eddy's frozen fruit bars. You can get them all year long but they are so good when it's hot

so, um, can we talk about the bojangles, chick fil a, and cookout you've had?? how was it? i'm sure it was all fat free too. lol! so jealous!

***********************************

hi everyone! what a fun and exhausting day today. it all started off with DH and i both whining that we didn't want to go to church this morning. lol. DS was up screaming between 2-3am for no good reason so we were a little tired. so we skipped (shame shame, i know) and went to the diner. i got an egg white omelet with veggies and a little cheddar. we were trying to decide the whole breakfast what we should do for the day. we left the diner and thomas looks up and screamed "coo coo" (train) about a million times. you can see the elevated subway from the diner. we decided to take thomas downtown on the subway for the first time. he was SO excited!

we went to central park and went to a great playground that's next to the MET museum. used to go there with my dad all the time. luckily we had a change of clothes in the diaper bag b/c the sprinklers were on and there was not getting him out!

afterwards we walked all around the park for hours! it was great but tiring as it was very hot and i was totally unprepared with flip flops on. after a while thomas fell asleep and we made our way to a pub and i was able to catch the end of the world cup game. awesome! thomas slept through most of it so it was nice to sit and eat our food (i had a veggie burger and fries, DH had fish and chips). after thomas woke up we got him a grilled cheese and he ate it while sitting on my lap. um, what's that wet feeling??? oh great, thomas leaked through his diaper and his 2nd pair of shorts. ok, we'll just change him. crap! no more diapers (again, impromptu trip downtown = unpreparedness). paid and walked uptown to the express bus stop and stopped in the store for a pack of diapers ($20.99). by the time we got him changed he was in the stroller with a dirty shirt (from the watermelon that afternoon), a diaper and no shorts and no shoes (still wet from the sprinklers). we took the express bus home and thomas was happier than a pig in you-know-what!

shoo! so now we're home watching cars (again for the millionth time) and i can't wait for bedtime. DH has to be out the door around 4:30 to catch a flight for a business trip for a few days. i'm praying thomas sleeps for me while he's gone. doubtful as he seems to not sleep whenever DH is gone (murphy's law).

anywho, that's my long story. fun day. not the best eating. but we walked for hours so i'm ok with it.

I'm excited tonight as I'm going to British Beer Company with some local ladies for trivia night, drinks and buy one get one pizzas! I'm going to allow myself one drink and one or two slices of pizza. I couldn't go last time so I'm excited to go this time! I have another lady picking me up so I can enjoy my drink!

sounds like a really great time. Have fun and enjoy the drink.

Lindsay, what a long day but sounds like fun! What a great job passing up ice cream We are thinking of a NYC trip over Thanksgiving to watch the parade. I know it will be very crowded but when is NYC not I have a good friend who lives somewhere in NJ very close to the city and she's invited us to stay with her.

Oh I love the mini oreo blizzard. Yes I would say that doesnt qualify as healthy even though its mini.

Going to NYC for the thanksgiving day parade is on my bucket list. I want to wait to the kids are much older because sitting in a crowd of people for hours waiting for a parade will require maturity.

a week alone sounds like a perfect way to kick start your exercise and healthy eating. You can try to focus on just you since you dont have to worry about running anyone around or making any meals. Enjoy your time.

Yesterday's QOTD: We've done a day trip to the Six Flags this summer. For our family we do a lot of camping weekends and those tend to have day trips built in. Last weekend was a trip to Santa's Village. We'll being hitting the beach, Six Flags (again), the NASCAR race, some car shows and who knows what else.

Sounds like all fun things to do. You really make the most out of the summer. I like that.

We are off to a 21st birthday party at the neighbors. Hope I can be good.
I have known this girl since she was 5 years old.

Have fun at the party. Gosh I remember my 21st. Well I remember most I should say.

**********************************************************

I wanted to do my replies early because I need to get the boys washed up and to bed early and then I need to do the same. It was a long week and weekend and tomorrow starts the new week.

Ryan is off to my friends house for the week (well we drop him off and pick him up daily but she will be the sitter this week) and when she had him the last time he was completely wiped by the end of the day. She is so active with the kids and they swim in her pool for hours if the weather is nice.

Im going to cherish the next two weeks because after that football starts and he will be practicing 4 nights a week.

I will talk to you all in the morning. Have a great night.

We had a very busy, very productive weekend. We cut down a bunch of trees yesterday, probably enough for 8 cord of firewood, lots of walking and moving bush and it was up a steep hill to boot.

Last night I took out my sewing machine and made light blocking curtains for our room in the camper. The blinds let in way too much light so these will be great for sleeping in in the morning. I had enough material to make a bolster for the bed, with the palm tree fabric in the middle and brown suede on the ends. I also made 2 couch pillows with the palm fabric on one side and the brown on the other. We have a little area rug with palm trees and I've found towels and some other accents that have really given the camper a homey feel.

Today I shortened 2 pair of pants and we started pulling things together for next weedend. We're camping at the NASCAR race in my brother's camper so I need everything to be packed in coolers or totes and won't have access to all of our camping stuff unless I remember to bring it.

 

[SettinSail]

so, um, can we talk about the bojangles, chick fil a, and cookout you've had?? how was it? i'm sure it was all fat free too. lol! so jealous!

Here's what I've had so far:
Bojangles - cajun chicken filet sandwich/dirty rice/sweet tea
Chik Fil A - grilled chicken sandwich (twice) once I took off the top bun
Cookout - 1/8 lb burger cookout style with a coke {the fountain coke and crushed ice is my biggest temptation there!!!} (twice)

They were all dee-licious!!! I won't mention the bar b que sandwich and hushpuppies I had one day last week or the mini chocoholic blizzard

I can have one meal a day like this and if I'm very careful the rest of the day, I will maintain or have a tiny loss But it's time to step it up and have a very good week and make these things a once a week or once every other week or so treat. I think the grilled chicken sandwich with only bottom bun is something healthy to eat regularly.

Your day sounds exhausting but FUN!!! Hope you get a good night's sleep tonight

Oh I love the mini oreo blizzard. Yes I would say that doesnt qualify as healthy even though its mini.

DH had the mini Reese's blizzard today! I resisted, saving my calories for the party. I think I did OK at the party, I drank only water, I ate a small hamburger w/lettuce/tomato/onion/ketchup/mustard, scoop of baked beans, scoop of coleslaw, scoop of mac 'n cheese and cup or so of fruit. Small scoops~!! A few bites of cake too. DS was playing cornhole while they served the cake so I ate a few bites of my piece and then gave it to him as soon as he finished. The only bad thing is that I had already eaten a small hamburger for lunch so I ended up with 2 hamburgers in one day But, honestly they were very small. I don't feel heavy right now, I actually feel kinda hungry DS just got out the leftover PH pizza and had some and I REALLY wanted some so I got out a small greek yogurt instead.

I think I may try to get a cornhole game for DS for Christmas, he really enjoyed it and had never played it before. I need to start making a small list when I have these ideas because it is so hard to buy for a 14 year old boy!

DS is adamant that he is all packed up for camp. Does not want me to check the list or check the contents of his suitcase. I'm going with it. If he forgets something, he will be in trouble or he will be uncomfortable or he will learn a lesson

Have a great week ahead all

Shawn

Hi all, today was fine with eating. Didn't get in an actual "workout" on Saturday or today, but I did do lots of housework (vacuuming, laundry, dishes, cleaning bathroom, laundry, dishes, laundry, etc).

Tomorrow starts 6 weeks of getting up at 6am, for work from 8-3:15 Monday-Friday. In the evenings I will exercise for 30-45 mins. 3x weekly, and I have a bunch of stuff to do for the class I'm taking. So I'll be so busy I won't be worrying about food-and I'll be going to bed so early that late night snacking shouldn't be a problem. Getting my water in might be, because we can't have bottles of water or any sort of beverage while working with the kids, only on breaks/lunch.

I probably won't be on here as much, but I am keeping up with the challenge, and I'll try to pop in at least once a day.

Hi,

Is it still too late to join? I would love to participate in the summer biggest loser. I did this a few years back and it was so helpful to be a part of this group. I lost about 20 lbs. Since the last time I was in this, I had a baby and now and I am trying to lose that extra 15 - 20 lbs. So I guess my goal would be to lose about 20 lbs. Also, we have a cruise planned at the end of August to Alaska, so I'd like to lose a few pounds before then.

Best of luck to everyone participating and let me know what I need to do to join. I think I read that we PM our weight on Fridays--right. Do you need to PM my current weight now or do I just wait until Friday.

Thanks,
Vicki

 

[my3princes]

Good Morning. It is looking like a fabulous week weather wise I hoping to get some walking in on my lunch breaks this week. I feel like I've gotten a lot done over the weekend so hopefully I won't be stressing to much this week. I've got a healthy lunch and some snacks together and 40 ounces of water for work.

Did you know that lunchables now has a sandwich thin with lowfat chicken available? It comes with a jello and some chocolate covered pretzels. 300 calories for the entire meal

I found some cookie recipes online for box mix cookies that are low cal. I'm going to try to make some later in the week for camping this weekend. I know my mother will bake all kinds of not good for me things so maybe having some lower cal option available will keep me on track.

 

[Rose&Mike]

Happy, Happy, Happy Birthday to Lisa and Karen!!!!!

I hope you both have a fabulous day!

 

[dumbo_buddy]

Happy, Happy, Happy Birthday to Lisa and Karen!!!!!

I hope you both have a fabulous day!

yes! happy birthday gals! hope this day is a great one!!!! xoxo

i don't know about the rest of you losers, but i'm pretty sure birthday cake is no-cal when it's your birthday. just sayin'

 

[mommyof2Pirates]

I will be back later with replies but for now here is the QOTD:

Monday July 11, 2011 QOTD:

What is motivating you to loose weight? Is there a specific goal in sight (wedding,vacation,running,etc.) or are you just wanting to get healthy?


Ok its monday people. Lets start the week off right. 4 days until we weigh in! Work hard and make the best choices possible. Dont forget to drink your water too.

 

[lisah0711]

Good morning all!

Happy Birthday to SarahMay!!!!

Happy belated birthday to Sarah May!

Sunday July 10, 2011 QOTD: What is your favorite summertime healthy treat?

Fresh berries! Yum!

Happy birthday to my fellow birthday celebrant, Karen!!!

I hope you have a wonderful day and a year full of magic!

I think that you might want to consider Beach Club for your trip since your DNephew will be of an age to really enjoy Stormalong Bay. But, honestly, I haven't stayed at either place so I don't necessarily know what I am talking about -- pretty much like always!

I've been super diligant this weekend and am starting to lose a few of those lbs that I've gained the last couple of weeks. I need to come up with a plan for work as I tend to eat through the day which I don't do at home. Couple that with sitting for 10 hours and I've got issues.

Great job on turning things around. That is a challenge getting through 10 hours and probably having to sit alot in one spot. Can you walk to a copier or bathroom that is farther from your desk? Or do a lap around the office? Bring things to eat that work in your plan? Are there alot of things around that tempt you? It's a big adjustment so it may take a bit of time but I know you can do it!

Sue, glad that you've had a chance to get outside and enjoy the nice weather in your neck of the woods!

CC, I think a change will be nice for you!

I probably won't be on here as much, but I am keeping up with the challenge, and I'll try to pop in at least once a day.

Congratulations on winning HH and enjoy that new job!

Vicki! You can PM your starting weight to donac now and then PM your first official weigh in on Friday. Or you can wait -- whatever you want to do. The information about the challenge is on page 1 of the thread. If you have any questions just ask away -- and good luck!

Happy, Happy, Happy Birthday to Lisa and Karen!!!!!

I hope you both have a fabulous day!

Thanks so much, Rose. I know Karen gets to hang out by the pool today. I have to work but may try and sneak out a bit early. With DS' birthday a few days ago my celebration is a little more subdued, which is just fine with me.

Have a great day all!

 

[mikamah]

Happy Birthday Karen and Lisa!!!!!!!
Hope you both have fabulous days!!!


And belated happy birthday, SarahMay!!! Hope it was marvelous!!

Good morning everyone. I'm still plugging away, getting the exercise in pretty well, and now that ds starts daycamp today, and we'll have more of a routine, I hope the get the food under control again. Actually did pretty well over the weekend, and am the same weight as when I started this challenge, so at least I'm not gaining. I'm sorry I haven't spent more time here. It's hard when the weather is so beautiful, not to take advantage of being outside. I have read through the thread, and love catching up on everyone.

Shawn- I laughed about you already seeing zookeeper. Love that I'm not alone in my senior moments.

Sue-I have heard the rail trails are pretty nice, but we haven't checked them out. We took a bike ride yesterday to my brother's in beverly. michael likes to go there, and he actually swam while I visited, and then we rode home.

Have a fabulous day everyone!!!

Monday July 11, 2011 QOTD:

What is motivating you to loose weight? Is there a specific goal in sight (wedding,vacation,running,etc.) or are you just wanting to get healthy?

even though i'm not on here to lose weight, i am on here to remind myself of the good habits i need in order to lose weight in a few months. it took me two years to lose the baby weight with my first and i'm hoping that if i start now with making good choices and keeping up the exercise i will be able to 1) have an "easy" labor 2) recover alot more quickly than last time and 3) get back into shape in a shorter time.

i know we've talked about losing weight for an event or something. during my post-baby weight loss journey, i hope to lose for the 2013 WDW marathon. and by lose i don't really mean get to a certain number. i want to lose enough to get myself really in shape for that race. after baby i'll still have a year to do it. anyway, i'm not making sense but basically i'm going to stick with the BL challenges for the long haul. i'd love to see 135 again sooner rather than later but mostly i want to be at a weight that will get me to that finish line

***********

it is HOT OUT!!! i really didn't want to get out and moving today at all but i told myself that if i don't do it i'll feel bad. got thomas out in the jogger and walked 4.5 miles in 1hr 15 min. that is slow but i feel like i was going fast! it's so hot that even walking that slow (16:58 min/mile pace) felt like a tough workout!

anyway, i just chugged 32oz of water (i used a 4 c. pyrex measuring cup! lol! i can't find my big water bottle) and now my stomach looks like i'm 12 months pregnant. lol! ouch.

 

[DisneyKim68]

Monday July 11, 2011 QOTD:

What is motivating you to loose weight? Is there a specific goal in sight (wedding,vacation,running,etc.) or are you just wanting to get healthy?

Two things: First, I want to lose some weiht before my cruise in October, and second, I want to do the Tinkerbell Half Marathon in January.

 

[momofdjc]

IMonday July 11, 2011 QOTD:

What is motivating you to loose weight? Is there a specific goal in sight (wedding,vacation,running,etc.) or are you just wanting to get healthy?

I'm just trying to get healthy. I'm tired of being uncomfortable in my body the way it is now.
