I'm here to report another week of maintaining. I know I've got to just kick it up but life issues keep jumping in the way. I know I can dodge them, just need to make a better effort. I know that I'll be getting lots of general walking in at the parks but I need to make sure that we get up and do some good morning walks between WL and FW. We did that a few times last trip but need to make a more concentrated effort this time around. I do not want to come home and have vacation pounds to lose on top of what I have left to get rid of.

Remember to send in your weight and COW numbers as soon as you can so that they can start their calculations.

It is a beautiful morning here in NC...I need to do a few more things to get ready for a stamping class tonight but after than I plan to get outside and pull some weeds.

Lisa-Thank you so much for coaching the past week and a few days, it really is nice to have others participating.

And a thank you to Tink1963 as she'll be the coach this week.

I just love our green team and am thankful for each of you. I love that we can share even when the sharing isn't good news.

I hope you have a wonderful day!!!

QOTD -- Have you ever run in a Disney marathon? Or any marathon? It is something that you would consider?

This is a dream of mine, as well. DD17 and I are aiming for the half marathon for 2012 once she is out of high school and won't miss school. (College break at Christmas usually lasts until MLK day). I have read that they "sweep" participants that did not finish in time. How fast do you need to walk in order to finish in the allotted time? Neither of us has ever particpated in a race, but we are starting small and planning to do a 5K this summer together.

Good luck to all on this week's weigh-in!!

Good morning, all, and welcome to our new coach, tink1963!

I just love our green team and am thankful for each of you. I love that we can share even when the sharing isn't good news.

I hope you have a wonderful day!!!

Awwww! You're so encouraging -- that's why you make a great team captain!

ohMom, I am glad that Tammy found the clippie for you and you know that this is one of those few places that you want to be a loser (you know it was meant as a compliment!)

I am happy to report that I actually lost a pound finally. The first pound that I lost since this challenge started actually. I also lost five inches around my neck, waist and hips since April 6th so progress is being made somewhere. I credit my breakthrough to faithfully following the COW and making those habits that lead to better health, so thanks Donac!

Have a great day, Greenies!

 

[tink1963]

Thanks for the Welcome. I'm looking forward to coaching this week. I do have to leave right now to get myself to work, but will be back in just a bit with our question for today.

Don't forget to report you WI today.

Good morning everyone - I feel good even though I'm up 3.6 this week. I am going to beat this starting today........ no more excuses. Boot Camp starts today.

I did the inaugral WISH 2005 Disney 1/2 Marathon and another 1/2 Marathon that same year in Ocean City Maryland. It was such a cool experience and really changed my life. After that it really showed me I can do anything I put my mind to. I think we kept to a 14 or 15 min mile at the worst to keep from getting sweeped.

with my weight and COW #'s. How 'bout everybody else?? Looks like the Purple team had 8 people that didn't weigh-in last week.

Thanks to those that donate their time gathering weigh-in numbers, COW stats, and posting the QOTD.

Bill

 

[MickeyMagic]

Yep. Got my weight and COW in for the week.

Here's to seeing a really good week for the GREEN TEAM!!!

Melanie, sounds like you have the right attitude. I know you can do this, as we all can.

Bill

Wow, Bill you are on the ball with your stats. Way to go.

I to noticed that we are still doing well with most of our team still checking in. We only had 1 removed and 4 that did not weigh-in. Lets improve those numbers Greenies.

I will report my numbers this afternoon.

QOTD...
What is your favorite song from a Disney movie?


My favorite would have to be Beauty and the Beast. I also like Feed the Birds from Mary Poppins.

to us all and to having a great week.

Just think that 3.6 should come off easy. Hopefully you are getting the warm weather in PA this weekend!

Feed the Birds was Walt's favorite song according to Richard Sherman. I also like most of the Mary Poppins songs ... so they are in the fav's . I also like the Lion King soundtrack.

I'm down a couple again this week and down 42 for the two part challenge! I'm just thrilled. I can't sing the praises of calorie counting and tracking enough!

Hang in there Melanie! You can do it!

Wow, I did not know that bit of trivia. I agree that all of the mary Poppins songs are wonderuld

Michele, Bravo to you. You are doing great. I don't count calorie, cause I count points, but I think you are right on the tracking.

 

[50sjayne]

Well I'm down 2 pounds this week yay! I seem to be breaking the stand still my body has imposed upon me. I dunno-- I think my body has been the same weight for so long it is desperately trying to keep me from "starving". This week has been the hardest week I've had since New Years when we started the biggest loser challenge. Seriously I have been duking it out. I'm giving myself a break today because I'm sore and just exhausted from work and exercise combined. I also want to go see a movie at the cheap theater today at 1 and don't want my hair to be wet. I'll go for a walk at least with my son tonight though. Maybe I'll look around for more clothes as all of mine are getting pretty loose-- when I'm out

Fav Disney song in movie: I'm gonna say my all time fav is I Wanna be like You from the Jungle Book. But the first thing to pop into my mind today was That's How You Know from Enchanted. I love that. I guess it helps that I absolutely adore Amy Adams and love the movie.

My favorite song from a Disney Movie is I wanna be like you from Jungle book - that is such a great fun song!

Thanks- I hope so - Today is so nice I went for a walk and this weekend and Monday its around 85 - WOWZA talk about a warm-up

 

[lisah0711]

Michele, you so totally rock! You should get yourself one of those Wish ribbons and display it proudly!

QOTD...
What is your favorite song from a Disney movie?

I love "It's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow" from Meet the Robinsons. I've loved that song since I was a kid and heard it on the Carosel of Progress at DL. I also love The Lion King soundtrack but I think my favortie song "He Lives in You" might only be from the play now that I think of it.

Good Saturday morning Green Team!!!

Let's make sure to get those weights turned in and have 100% participation and remember if you are working on the COW's to turn those in as well.

Lots to do on this beautiful Saturday here, I need to pull down the suitcases and get to working on those. We have 4 more nights of going to bed then we'll be leaving for the Mouse.

QOTD - Can't say that I have a true favorite, love them all but I do love the Lion King soundtrack too!!

MelanieC - It has hit a warm spurt here too, yesterday was 84 today is scheduled to be 89, get lots of water in ya!!

50sjayne - Hang in there!!! Enjoy your time at the movies and out and about. I'm sure picking up a few new items will help you see that all your hard work is worth it.

DisneyFam5 - Great loss for the week and the BL challenge, WTG. I agree, where is that nice ribbon you can put in your sig??

I need to run and check on a few other things then off of the computer until I get control of my to-do list.

Have a great day everyone!!!

 

[tink1963]

Good Morning Greenies. Looks like it is quite here today, I hope that means you all have some plans for the weekend.
I really don't have any big plans, today is a catch up day on

QOTD for Saturday...

With spring arriving and summer just around the corner,

What spring/summer fruits are you some of your favorites?


I love Watermelon. Watermelon just shouts Summer.

I think summer is a great time at the local farmers market. Fresh peaches, apricots and plums are also some I enjoy.
