BL 3 Blue Team-Week 9

[Geekerbell]

Didn't see a thread started yet, so thought I would start one.

Well, ladies I'm reporting in with a 1.6 pound loss this morning. Not quite as big as I was hoping for since I was sooo good this week. But I sure will take it!

Hope everyone has a super day!

GOOD MORNING!!!!!!

Once again I am the early bird and I have been up for 2 hours already!!! I am sad to report that I had no loss this week, but again no gain either. Status quo. Which is rather frustrating. But now that the birthdays and parties are behind us for a while (3 more weeks until DD and my b-day) I can really buckle down on my eating and stay on plan.

Hope everyone does better than I did-but I am hopeful that next week will be a big loss.

LETS GO BIG BLUE!!!!

Good Morning, Blue Team!

Well after a gain last week, not eating too healthy and not exercising nearly enough I am pleasantly surprised that I am down 2 lbs this week! I seem to keep gaining and losing those same few pounds but hopefully that has stopped and I will continue on my way down the losing road!

Congrats Geekerbell on the 1.6 loss!

Vern - Don't worry girl. I know you'll be posting a loss next week. Keep up the great work!

To all my other teammates here's to a good WI this week!


Have a great day!

Michele

good morning BLUE team!

the sun is shining the air is crisp i actually got out of bed way early and went to the 6 a.m. spinning class ...but before i left i did WI and found my TOM fluff has left again and i'm back down the 1.6 lbs that i was up last week!

and i have 2 of 3 of the 45 min cardio workouts done! one more tomorrow

cyber high five to Geekerbell, LaLaroo and Vern.....yes Veronica maintaining is a success

 

[VernRDH]

ohMom-are we pm'ing you our weighin again or is Vija back? Just want to clarify, not that my big fat 0 affects the weigh in either way. It is a success, since my eating was TERRIBLE these last two weeks. But I really want to see a loss soon.

 

[ohMom]

she only asked me to for one week.....but i haven't heard from her that she is home yet. i think send them to her....

 

[becka]

I have a question for the weigh in. I gained a bunch last week. I am down 1 pound today from where I weighed in last week but I am still up a few pounds for the prior week. Do we count the weight we lost this week even if we are trying to make up for what we gained in prior weeks?

 

[PRINCESS VIJA]

I am back!

OK, I have to go with the saying... don't cry because it's over, cry because it happened!!!! I had the MOST magical time with DD on our Disney trip. I'll only bore you with a little bit! LOL!

Wed. 10/24 We went on Soarin first thing (after getting Fast pases) and when we rounded the beng... we got dream fast passes! It was an amazing start to our trip. Food and Wine Festival was fantastic. The food was YUMMY! DD got chosen by Miyuki for a candy creation and she chose a dog. Very cute. stayed way too late!

Thursday 10/25 we were at MK turnstiles at 7:30 am, in the park at 8am and didn't leave untill MIDNIGHT! 16 hours at the magic kingdom and very magical hours! First thing in the morning was we RAN to Tinkerbell's treasures and DD got to wake up tinkerbell! We had breakfast with the princesses and it was awesome! rode a ton of rides and then had alot of fun at MNSSHP! the parade was awesome and villains mix and mingle was great. I finally met one of my favorite characters... Maleficent! Dreams do come true! LOTS of candy!

Friday 10/26 Expedition Everest was sooooo cool! The funny part was the pic they take of you... DD is cowering behind the seat in front of her covering her eyes and I am squeezing my eyes shut and look in pain! an intense ride, but we both loved it. We then went to MNSSHP AGAIN and had so much fun. We got so much candy it was crazy. I filled up a 2gallon zip lock bag and a 1 gallon ziplock bag, and we weren't even trying very hard to get lots of candy.

Saturday at MGM we had fun, it rained a little but didn't alter our plans too much. Lights Motors Action is a great show... not to be missed.

I wish I was back there now. We were so jam packed full of action/activities that I barely had time to squeeze in sleep. I am so proud of how DD did! I know it was alot for her, but she did so great. We got a ton of souveniers, ton of magical memories, and I am sooo ready to finally loose this weight as I start planning a trip to Disneyland next year!


For this weeks challenge I need to post....
as far as exercise goes... I love walking, aerobic tapes and using my elliptical. I want to get back into running eventually. my struggles are from finding the time, making the time, and not getting bored.

*** I am back, so please send your emails/PM's to me*****

*becka, we do count the pound you lost and tabulate from last weeks weigh in. don't worry about the weight you gained, I know you will loose it soon! congrats on the 1# weight loss

*Ohmom, congrats on the 1.6# loss! That is fantastic, and thanks for your help last week.

*LaLaroo78, congrats on the 2# loss! That is great!

*VernRDH, maintaining is still ok, I know you will have a big loss next week! Hang in there.


Geekerbell, congrats on the 1.6# loss, that is fantastic! ANd thanks for starting the thread.

As for me.... Food and wine festival did me in and I am reporting in a 2# gain... aiyyyyy I was hoping all that walking would offset any crazy food intake. Oh well, this is a brand new week!

Good news is I am still at a 3.8lb loss this morning.

The awful thing is that I am still craving carmel apples. Maybe I will let myself have one on Halloween as a treat but I may need a carmel apple recovery program.

Great to see all of those numbers this morning! And I am uber proud of those maintains because when I normally maintain I get frustrated and it rapidly turns to a gain! I printed out a mantra for myself above my computer.

If I maintained my whole life I would just weight 8.8 lbs! Maintaining is never a problem.

 

[AuntieM03]

I am down 1.3lbs this week. I actually didn't exercise at all last week and ate over my points (weight watchers), so I am very happily surprised. I did get back on track on Saturday and went to the gym 3 days in a row, so I guess that helped.

Princess Vija it sound like you had a great time!!! I am leaving a week from Saturday for 13 days at WDW. It will be interesting to see what my weight is when I get back. We are doing the dining plan. We are hoping to share a couple of the table service meals. My plan is to enjoy myself and not eat until I am so full it is no longer enjoyable.

Have a great week everyone!!!

well my long weekend resulted in a 1lb gain - actually I thought it might be more but I had a last hurrah last night of a bag of popcorn and an adult "beverage" - so today it is as they say "back on the wagon" - I really must get rid of the "sugar" in my life - that's the white granulated stuff, and all the derivitive names that one can find on labels!

Must run - DH and I have committed to 1 hour after work/each evening of be "productive" around the house - so off I go - he is at the dentist - so I think I will get my hour done and then I can play while he is doing his later

Hey - almost forgot to say that while we were in Chatanooga we saw one of those contests where folks "chug down" food for a record - truly it is NOT eating . Well it was the Krystal burger "down the hatch" contest and Joey Chestnut broke a record and managed 103 of them in 8 minutes. It may be gross and "oh it is" he claimed the top prize of $10,000 !! It really was a fun time and it was one of those "been there done that" times but fun for the afternoon! And, my younger DGD said that she could "pick us out" in the crowd during the ESPN taping - LIVE - it was a stitch to be there! Ah...Krystals they provided an entertaining afternoon but will not soon be a part of my eating regime

 

[NancyK]

I lost 1/2 pound this week. It was totally undeserved because my eating was out of control all week! I'm trying to get back on track today.
Have a wonderful week everyone!

Hi! I'm sorry I have been AWOL. We have all been sick--with 3 kids (and a DH who always gets EVERYTHING the kids come home with) it has just gone on and on. I have actually been doing okay with my eating/exercise--I've just been forgetting to weigh-in on time!
My loss this past week was 2 lbs.
I need to hold on tight to avoid going overboard on Halloween candy!

[disneychrista]

I am down .6 this week.

 

[PRINCESS VIJA]

Hey blue team, biggest Loser Central has a question for you!

The question has come up regarding merging the teams into one thread. We would still report our weight losses to our individual captains. There has been a significant decrease in "chatter" on the team threads, some more than others, and the idea was brought up to merge the threads into one. What does everyone think about that?

 

[LaLaroo78]

Happy Halloween Blue Team

Vija - I kinda of prefer our own team threads but it the majority decides to merge into one I am fine with that.

Have a great day!

Michele

 

[hrpufnsash]

I totally agree that I would like to keep to my blue team - but then again I have been on vacation for almost two weeks so maybe people missed having so much chatter.

I'll be OK with any decision - but my two cents are keep us BLUE!

Happy Halloween - QUESTION what is everyone or their children going to be for Halloween??

 

[Geekerbell]

Not trying to be anti-social snooty: j/k), but I would like to stick with just the blue team as well. I know when it's all over, I'll have to find another support group. But for now, I need my blue teamies!

Now, for Halloween...
DS2 is Spiderman
The elementary school has "Storybook Character Dress Up Day", so DS5 is a pirate and took "Dora's Pirate Adventures" book with him.
DS7 is Captain Underpants. And I'm not even going to repeat the name of the book he took to school. (Those of you with sons this age probably know what I'm talking about. Those without boys this age...just don't ask. )

Tonight DS5 will be Stitch (got a DARN good deal at the Disney online store), and DS7 will be Ben 10.

DH will not be dressing up. However, I will be dawning my very nicest black cloak and leopard print witch's hat for the occasion.

Everyone else?

 

[MIdanceMom]

I would also like to stick with the teams. Is there a challenge this week, or are we off this week?

Take care,
Beth
