BL Challange - Red Team - Week 2

[luckywife]

My support system for this journey is definitely my husband. He never fails to tell me each day how great he thinks I'm doing and how beautiful he thinks I am. But, besides just the compliments he pays me, he's always encouraging me to keep trying and to not ever give up when I get upset with how things are going. He offers to exercise with me, won't eat out anyplace that doesn't have a good menu for me, etc. It would be darn near impossible for me to do this without him by my side cheering me on.

Question of the Day - Wednesday:

Who is your support system for weight loss/ getting healthy

I have a great friend who is an inspiration. In January she quit smoking, drinking and eating. She has lost 105 lbs!!! She has about 50 to go and loses 2-3 lbs every week. She is my support via e-mail!

Also, I started my whole family on Weight Watchers. Unfortunately my children and DH are overweight right along with me. My boys are being TROOPERS and having the whole family working together and supporting each other has been really fantastic. I really, really need to do this for my boys and their health. I am determined to get the whole family healthy and keep us there.

Doing well eating wise, still not excercising. We leave for Jordan in one week. We will be walking a bunch there and snorkeling for a day and a half. When I return my classes start at the new health center, so I will kick it up a notch then!

Keep up the good work RED TEAM!
Good night from the desert,
Katy

Who is your support system for weight loss/ getting healthy

That would be my husband too. He actually just reminded me that they have a gym up at his work, so he's going to find out some more information and even go up there with me. I'm rather lucky

 

[ohMom]

my support system is a group of WISH buddies that has been emailing together for like over 5 years now. It's my Mom-- AlreadyexcitedGrammy, anniet, TammyNC, and my aunt and cousin. They aren't on WISH as much though i've seen annie and tammy popping on recently. beyond that my DH and DDs are very supportive, and sometimes Mom and I go an extra step to stay accountable and encourage each other.

just got on sparkpeople and my fear came true, i have eaten all my allowed calories for the day and haven't had dinner yet. actually i'm over 100 calories at that. i was really struggling this afternoon and had 2 too many snacks i didn't want to journal and see i was done, but i made myself stay real and honest. now that i know i'll have either some low cal veggie soup or salad with fat-free dressing, keeping it as light as i can, and just move on until tomorrow. i guess i just wanted to say i'm proud that i followed through my journaling today instead of skipping it knowing i didn't eat perfectly, but perfect just isn't my everyday!

My supportt system is my husband (who is in Iraq), my co-worker who is on WW with me, my sister in law who just started WW and last but not least the RED TEAM!!!!!!!!!

Hear Ye Hear Ye, the Weightkeeper speaks--AGAIN

Well it is inevitable. I have screwed up big time. This is the first time but I am sure it will not be the last time. I feel terrible. I am here with my tail between my legs. I have roses and chocolate - well maybe not the chocolate as a peace offering. My sincerest apologies go out to IngridRalph for messing up her team assignment. I notified her and assigned her to the Blue team. In my records and spreadsheet I had her on the Blue team. In error I reported to the team captains that she was on the Red team. She was then welcomed to the Red team and has settled in here with you.

She was not a Blue team superstar but of course she is a Red team superstar. This error may change the team percentages some but I have not straightened that out yet.

So now Red team I present your corrected

and your still reigning

#1-3.535%-martinezfamily1126 -??

To Ingrid my sincerest apologies and to the other superstars effected by my error I am truly sorry. I will try to be more diligent in the future. Please remember I am a lowly volunteer and I do make mistakes. So if I say something that you are concerned about just PM or email me and I will look into it.

Now everyone back to your regularly scheduled program on the RED channel. Keep encouraging each other and keep working hard. Remember the Blue team and I are gunning with you to defeat the Black team next week. It's anybody's game as long as we work hard. Let's get losing. We can do it.

Hear ye! Hear ye! The weightkeeper is human. Who knew!!

Oh Brenda - silly girl - thank you for all your hard work. Unbelievable everything that you do.

Thanks for everything.

 

[lisaviolet]

Aw, thanks Lisa! Most of that weight is hidden under my shirt...the big tummy bulge that is the gift of having 2 kids!!

I'm sure it's not . Regardless, you look fantastic.

Hello RED TEAM!

I did my weigh in for WW this morning and I'm down another lb! The eating hasn't been great so I was really happy with that. I'm way motivated today after seeing the scale down

Last night dinner was a huge salad with a grilled chicken breast cut up on top and a bunch of watermelon. THEN I went to a "girls night out" at one of my neighbors house. UGH. Cheese, chocolate, cheese, WINE,cheese, crackers. You get the idea So I was surprised at the good news on the scale and won't be surprised if Friday I'm up!

All in all I'm doing well food wise and its working.

Katy

Way to go Katy. Congrats on the weight loss.

I actually got up and jogged this morning. I've really been putting off my marathon training. I've gained half of what I lost last Friday. I better get back on track if I'm going to be down this Friday.

Keep going Krista!

morning everyone






HAVE A GREAT DAY ON PLAN EVERYONE!! YOU ARE WORTH IT AND YOU WILL FEEL SO GOOD AT THE END OF THE DAY KNOWING YOU ACCOMPLISHED ANOTHER DAY ON THE RIGHT PATH IN YOUR JOURNEY!!

Thanks Molli!

Question of the day - Tuesday
Name Something you like about yourself

I like my smile and my compassion. I also like my sensitivity. I used to hate it because I'm overly sensitive in general. But now I accept it as everything has its yin and its yang so to speak.

Question of the Day - Wednesday:

Who is your support system for weight loss/ getting healthy

Me!!!! And I love that! Me, being the most important to my journey.

And then there are the lovelies of another WISH thread who have made me feel like I am so incredibly blessed to find them. Them too!

 

[Can_Do_Mom]

My support system is my husband and my mom. In the last year my mom has lost 79 lbs through eating healthier. She has peripheral vascular disease and cannot exercise. She's in constant pain but keeps a positive attitude. I'm so proud of her.
Today was a good day. Ate on plan and walked 30 minutes on the treadmill. It was a slow pace though, no where near what I'll need to do for the 1/2 in 2010, but I have over a year. I often feel overwhelmed because I need to lose so much. I am now focusing on 5 lb increments. Oh, I also got my water in.

 

[IlliniMouse]

My support system is THE RED TEAM!!!!, myself and a dear friend who I keep in touch with through email.

Today was not such a swell day. We had a death in the family this week, so that has me eating. Then a co-worker had a birthday today, so that meant cake. Actually there were cakes. Cake with an "s". So I had to try both of them. Birthday lunch was lasagna. And since it was slow at work, the cakes and I became fast friends. Ugh. Tomorrow is a new day. And I don't have any cake at my house.

 

[Ready for #2]

Happy Thursday Red Team----Happy and positive thoughts for a great day before Friday's weigh-in!

 

[sahbushka]

My support system is my dh and my mother. My dh has a bunch of weight to lose as well. He has been trying for the last 11 weeks, like I have, but while I have lost 25 he has only lost 5. I think this week will be his turn around week where the weight finally drops off, but he is my inspiration to keep trying! Even without results he hasn't given up and I think that would be really hard.

I did well yesterday. Ate within my points for the day, drank at least 6 bottles of water, and worked out at the gym. I have upped the speed when I job and when I walk so I feel good about that accomplishment. I tried to up the incline but that seemed to aggravate a muscle so I put it back down to what I was used to.

Have a great day and make good choices! 24 hours till weigh in!

Question of the Day - Thursday:

Finish this sentence… “When I reach my goal weight…

... I won't be a different person than I am now. I'll just be healthier and need smaller clothes!

 

[Twingle]

Question of the Day - Thursday:

Finish this sentence… “When I reach my goal weight…

I will feel better, will be healthier, and will be a better role model for my children.

Found the questions from the other days!

My user name: Twingle - I have a son (singleton) and two daughters (twins), so Twins + singleton = Twingle.

My support system: The Red Team, lol. My DH and children are supportive, but don't exactly make it easy for me to find the time to exercise. My extended family is "sick" of hearing me talking about getting healthy and not doing it. I have girlfriends IRL that we talk health/nutrition/diet/exercise with, and they are great, but if I were to call and say I'm dying for a Five Guys cheesburger and fries, would ask me what time I'd like to meet them there, LOL.

Have a great day everyone - feel like saying "LAST CHANCE WORKOUT!"
