I didn't see our new thread yet, so I will start it. I am only down 1 lb this week but I figured that would be the case because of that time of month and the good loss last week. I am happy with averaging 2 lbs a week. I did way more exercise this week so it is a step in the right direction!

Got 100 pts in cow! Hopefully I can do that again!

Good luck everyone on a new week! I challenge each of you to push yourselves this week as I will try to do and lets see if we can really blow the competition out of the water this week!

I lost 3 pounds this week!!!! I bought Leslie Sansone's Walk/Jog dvd and did it for 5 days straight - it worked! :cool1:
Good luck to everyone!!!!!!!!!!:cheer2: :cheer2:
 
Hi Red Team! Here it is Week 5 already.

Don't forget to weigh in and send it to Brenda (Dare2Dream).
 
I'm down 2 pounds this week. I've really stepped up my workout/walking....but now I have blisters on my toes! boohoo.....

Good luck to everyone
 

I am up 1 pound this week. Could have been worse so I'll take it! I am back on focus for this week.

I'm down 0.2 today. Considering I had 3 pounds down last week, I'm quite happy with it.

Question of the Day - Friday

What was your proudest moment this week concerning your new life style?

My proudest moment would be making it to the gym 3 days this week. Next week I'm hoping for at least 4 days.


I'm having a rough day today, I'm up 3lbs and extremely frustrated. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I haven't really lost much at all since the start and I'm actually up almost 2lbs since the start of the challenge. Any tips would be appreciated. Should I stay away from strength training and focus on cardio? I was doing a 10-12 minute warm up on the treadmill then doing about 20 minutes on strength training then going back to the treadmill for another 20-25 minutes.

I hope others had a better week than I did. I'm not giving up, I'll keep working towards my goal. I am so motivated this time around, its just frustrating.
 
well team, i forgot to WI this morning so i used my WI from yesterday. which is not good, i'm up 6 lbs from 4 days at WDW. i know i did not drink enough water there, i tried but their tap isn't very good to me and bottled water....jeesh...expensive! no excuses now and i'm glad i thought to pop in here, i just ate too many snacks. this is my downfall, i eat one and then say heck with it. my DD brought home cookies from her home ec and i had one and it was a very generous size. focus focus

i pledge that i will not SNACK any more today!

charity -- your workout routine looks like a great one to me :confused3 how many days a week? drinking your 84 oz of water each day?

cyber high fives to the losers --- TOUGH LOVE to the rest -- it is FAR TOO EARLY to back down, we have a long while to support each other and I NEED YOU ALL HERE! i'm not doing well either!!
 
If you start a new weekly thread please be sure to link it to the previous weeks so that everyone can find it and I don't come in behind you and post another new one. One of these days I will remember to post Thursday night.

I have a no change week this week. I am getting so frustrated. And to top it off I am starting to have my hip/groin injury flare-up which is making exercise more difficult. UGH!
 
I drink 4- 16.9oz bottles a day. I guess it will just take time for my body to catch up. It sucks though.

I know what you're going through Christa *hugs* to you.
 
I am the same weight as my last weigh in. Maintain is better than gain and I'm pretty happy because we had a 6 day vacation to Jordan in there! My DH gained 6lbs! Also have had LOTS of parties and eating out.

Proudest Moment this week.....
We had a pot-luck going away party for some neighbors. I brought chocolate kaluah cake, on request by guest of honor. I took a small piece, ate about 3 bites and threw the rest away!!! It was good, but not good enough to eat the whole piece!!! Baby steps.

congratulations to all the losers!

I will accept the challenge by Sarah. I will step it up this week. I will try the COW, I will count my WW points, I will USE the new exercise bike DH assembled today, I will make my team proud!

Good luck to everyone this week!

I'm down 1.2 pounds this week and got 80 points for this week's COW. Have been really good about my food and exercising. I'll miss next week's weigh in. I have a date with Mickey for his Halloween party! :banana:

:cheer2: GO RED TEAM!!!! :cheer2:

Sorry...had no idea there was so much involved in starting the thread! I was just excited to get to post my weight before leaving for work and didn't see a thread already posted! Sorry for all the confusion...I won't do it again!

Proudest moment this week was running 5 minutes with out stopping on the treadmill!

No problem. If there is no thread, go ahead and start a new one. I just ask that a link be posted in the previous week. One of these weeks your Captain will get her act together and remember to post it Thursday night.
 
Week 5 - Challange of the Week Thread

Raenstoirm said:
So……. here is our second COW. For those who don’t know the rules about the COWS, I will post a new COW sometime every Thursday. Each challenge week begins 12:01 am Friday morning and runs till midnight Thursday night. I figure posting the COW on Thursday gives you a little time to “plan” out how best to complete the challenge before the clock starts. Please email or PM me your score by Monday morning of the following week. (So tomorrow’s challenge score is “due” the 20th, although I recommend you pm or email it to me on Friday when you email Brenda your weight.)
If you chose not to do the COWs at all, or only get around to doing a few items on the list that is perfectly fine. You will not hurt your team. The idea is to get you thinking and doing new things on this road to a new you, not to stress you out.


Please email or PM me your scores from last week beginning Friday. My email is ferretfeet@gmail.com if that is easier. Don’t forget to include your board name, team color and of course your score.


1 Take the stairs. This should be intentional stair walking as opposed to taking an escalator or elevator. This is above and beyond the basic stair usage such as walking up the stairs to tuck the kids in bed. Unless you are going up and down the stairs during a commercial break, most stairs in your home should not count (1 point for each flight-max 15)

2 Drink 6 glasses of water each day this week (5 points for each successful day -max 30)

3 Do something that is "on your list" that you have been putting off (10 points each- max 30)

4 Write a heartfelt letter to someone who influenced your life. Even if you have no idea where they are today. If you do, feel free to send it to them! (15 points)

5 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)



This thread is for all losers. Just like the Biggest Loser TV show challenges this is the place where you cheer for people not necessarily on your team. This is the place to get to know the other team’s members and make the whole group a big community. Now of course you still have to return “home” from this little utopia, since after all this is a competition.

So Ladies, let’s have a COW!
 
RUNNING on a treadmill...wow yeah that is a moment to be proud. I don't even jog yet lol!

Our Captain is perfect the way she is even if its a little slow :P :)

Let's go red team!
 
Question of the Day - Friday

What was your proudest moment this week concerning your new life style?

Yesterday my son's class went on a field trip. The one stop had 4 flights of stairs we had to walk up. Before I started exercising, I don't think I would have made it. yes, my legs were feeling the burn, but I made it up those stairs and in better shape than some of the people that *appeared* to be in better shape than myself. (After reading this weeks COW, I was wishing it started yesterday....we did MANY flights of stairs yesterday. LOL)
 
I am sad to admit that I had a 2 pound gain this week. :sad2: It was a tough week...2 birthdays, a 15 hour field trip, and this Sunday it's my DH's birthday party. Too many opportunities to fall off the wagon. :guilty:

I promise you that I am going to have a talk with my evil twin and get this under control.
