Good Morning all.

I lost 2.5 LBS last week and down another 1.5 today. I worried because I am losing so quickly. I was up and down for a few weeks and now I am just dropping. I am going to visit my mom this weekend. She loves Pasta and bread and since I am doing Low Carb this will be tough.

Good luck to all this week and I will check in often.

.

Just remember everything is good (well not bad) in moderation. Have small servings of the pasta & bread and maybe fit in an extra exercise to help balance it out. Enjoy your weekend.

Now I'm frustrated!. I know that I shouldn't be tied to the scale....but after a 2 pound loss yesterday, I got on again today. Well, my 2 pounds found me. I know that's not real--I did well yesterday, so it must be water fluctuation or whatever. However, it didn't look pretty. Maybe I'll stay OFF the scale till Friday morning (yeah, right.....).

I made an "appointment" for this afternoon to go to the gym with a friend. That ought to get us both there!...and if she backs out, I'll go alone.

I am down 2 pounds this week. I did get a handle on my late night snacking, and plan to keep in in check. I really want to get down and stay at a healthier weight.

My proudest moment was one morning I did the jillian exercise video, and I was able to keep up and do all the cardio part. The push-ups are another story.

kcashner- I am a daily weigher too, and it's a tricky game to play. I know if it looks like I"m down a lot early in the week, sometimes that sends me off to reward myself, and when it's up when I don't think it should be, it's so frustrating, sometimes I think why bother. Don't let that scale get you down. I'm sure it's just daily fluid fluctuations. Keep up the good work.

lisaviolet- Happy Thanksgiving!! Have a wonderful holiday. You deserve it!!

disneychrista-Thanks for being our captain!! I love the questions of the day, even if I don't get around to posting an answer, I do read everyone elses. Thanks for posting the challenge here. It's a nice reminder.

Congrats to all our losers!! Hugs for those who gained or maintained. Hang in there. We can all do this!!

Hello Red Team!!!! Where is everybody??? I hope out exercising!

Well, I'm working on the COW of the week.
Discuss with the group some ways you deal with stress that are healthy (and not so healthy) and how you plan on altering the not so healthy ways (10 points)
Stress.... I eat I surf the net I don't actually deal with stress in any healthy way...YET. So, to alter that, I need to NOT EAT and get off my behind. Yesterday I was stressed about Cub Scouts. So I spent time solving the problem, via e-mails, etc. Then I got on my new exercise bike and pedaled for 21 minutes while reading a book my DS13 has been wanting me to read. Today, no stress eating yet.

Last night I made the WW recipe for chicken and broccoli in garlic sauce. My whole family LOVES it and I should make it once a week! I actually ate if for breakfast, which is a high pt breakfast, so lunch will have to be low, low.

I also did a menu plan for the week, which will help me staying on track.

Good luck this week! Let's LOSE, I mean WIN!!!!

Country, Qatar
City, Doha

Large, modern city. We live in a compound, which is basically a "gated community." Life is good

Did pretty well food wise today. Didn't ride my new exercise bike. Not feeling great and couldn't make myself get on. Stayed pretty busy with everything else.

Tuesdays are challenging. Lots of running kids to activities, etc. I don't know how dinner will work... need a plan!

[ohMom]

good day teammies how was your weekend? mine was super busy and so-so on the food intake. i still can't get my head in the game! ugh!!

Discuss with the group some ways you deal with stress that are healthy (and not so healthy) and how you plan on altering the not so healthy ways (10 points)

healthy stress relievers for me are taking the dog on a walk, reading or scrapbooking. not so healthy are baking sweets, eating sweets, or just grazing. i think a way to transform that into a healthy habit is try some new healthy dessert/sweet recipes so i feel indulged some

I live in central ohio, about 20 mins outside columbus, ohio. many hours from WDW

hang tight teammies! what are you doing for exercise tomorrow? i'm going to a chisel class and will do some cardio beforehand.

Question of the Day - Monday 10/13

Where do you live? Country, City, State, Region....whichever you feel comfortable sharing!

We live in northwest IL, about 2 hours west of Chicago, and an hour south of Madison, WI.

Now to do one of the COWS....to relieve stress I eat (bad bad BAD!). However, I will also call my sister, read a book, brush the dogs, take a nap, or just tell myself if there is nothing I can do to change the situation, then stop worrying about it. If I CAN do something to change it, then get going on it!!!

Question of the Day - Monday 10/13

Where do you live? Country, City, State, Region....whichever you feel comfortable sharing!

I live in Clifton Park, NY which is upstate. Just north of our state capital of Albany. If you say upstate, people think either Westchester or Canada! The leaves are about 70% turned and it is getting cooler every day. Making it harder for me to get out to run. But I will try to get outside as long as I can.

 

[CharityLynn]

I have a couple strange health/diet/exercise questions. I think about things some times and figure I'd ask you guys.

GUM- There are few calories in gum but do you only have the calories if you swallow the gum or are they released in simply chewing the gum?

Exercise- When is the best time to exercise? IS it first thing in the morning? If so should you eat breakfast before or after?

I think that is all for now.

TIA<

Katy

I definitely deal with stress by eating, and sometimes crying. I try to talk myself out of eating and will call a friend or my dsil who are great motivators.

GUM- There are few calories in gum but do you only have the calories if you swallow the gum or are they released in simply chewing the gum?

I think the calories are in the sugar or flavoring that is in the gum which you swallow as you chew. Just my opinion.

Exercise- When is the best time to exercise? IS it first thing in the morning? If so should you eat breakfast before or after?

I think any time that you can and will do it is a good time for exercise. I usually exercise first thing and then eat breakfast, but think I should probably eat first to fuel the body, and then exercise. I was reading the 3 hour diet, and the rules were that you had to keep your body fueled by eating at least every three hours. It also said that you should eat within 30 minutes of waking up every morning to get the metabolism going. I find with time limitations, it's easier to exercise first then eat.

Question of the Day - Tuesday 10/14

Does the area you live in affect your weight, exercise,eating habits?

 

[dare2dream]

Hear Ye Hear Ye, the Weightkeeper speaks

What an interesting week according to our numbers. I usually do my final crunching Monday. Sleep on it and review everything on Tuesday. I could not believe the numbers yesterday and today they still told the same story. No surprise there. So this is it for real and for true. Hang on here we go.

We started the week with 129 participants. This week 18 folks have been removed for not reporting for three weeks. So we are now at 111 participants.

-------------------Black Team-----Blue Team-----Red Team-----Total
started week---------42-------------43-------------44-----------129
removed---------------6--------------6--------------6------------18
current-members------36-------------37-------------38----------111
not reporting 1 wk------7--------------7-------------11-----------25
not reporting 2 wk------3--------------4--------------4-----------11
weigh ins for week-----26-------------26-------------23-----------75

Red Team Week 4

23 weigh ins
7 gains totaling 18 lbs
3 maintains
13 losses totaling 19.7 lbs
6 removed from challenge losses totaled 2 lbs

Weekly net loss 1.7 lbs
Cumulative net loss 112.7 lbs

Now the real fun begins. Let's look at our Red Team Superstars.

Again keep in mind that if you skip a weigh in your percentage lost for the next weigh in is divided in half. That only seems fair doesn't it?

Also I will plead again please state your weight for the week in the number of pounds you weight not just 'I stayed the same' or 'I lost 2 pounds'. I need the number or I will have to look it up and believe me I have plenty of other stuff to be doing.

Also again please report what team you are on and if you email me please include your DIS name. Still having some problems and I just wanted to state these requests in a larger font. Hey ladies don't make me shout next week.

And as usual keep in mind I am human. I do make mistakes. If you have a concern please PM or email me.

OK I have said enough. Now pay attention. With only 13 losers were you a superstar?

Question of the Day - Tuesday 10/14

Does the area you live in affect your weight, exercise,eating habits?

Absolutely! When winter rolls around here, outside time is at a minimum. I don't like to be cold. Winter also brings on a whole different array of foods...comfort foods! I'm more likely to curl up on the couch with a blanket and a good book.ummer brings healthier eating because of the foods coming out of the gardens...and alot more outside time. Spring and Fall also allow for more outside time. Winter can be a total downfall with the holidays and being cooped up.
