Congrats to all the losers this week. Keep up the good work. If you maintained or didn't lose then this week is your week. We can do this.

Question of the Day
Do you reward yourself for reaching goals? If so how?

I haven't decided what I am going to do when I reach my goal. ANyone have any thoughts about this?

HAve a great day.

Hi Guys,

I heard about this thread though another dis fan. I love the Biggest Loser show and this could be my chance to live my dream and pretend I'm working out with my hottie Bob. I was wondering if it's too late to join? It looks like so much fun. P.S. did you guys see Chesley Lately on monday night Alison was not only on it but she is 6 months pregnant.

 

[leanne2255]

Good Wednesday Morning I am late because the computers were down at school when I came in and they are just up.

Question of the Day
Do you reward yourself for reaching goals? If so how?
HAve a great day.

My reward has come in smaller clothes sizes which has required me to do some shooping. I love clothes and I love to shop, so that's enough for me now. Trying not to spend too much since I'll be losing another 25 lbs or so. However, my old clothes were just way TOO big.

My other reward has come in just feeling better. Before I started on this journey I just felt BLAH and had no energy.

Since I am on WW, you do get rewards for your 10% milestone, and every 5 lbs along the way. Just received my bling for 25 lbs, so that's always fun.

Staying steady and hoping for another loss this week.

 

[pixiemagic30]

Congrats everyone for being the BIGGEST LOSERS!

I have been missing you all this past week and a half or so. I have had computer problems where I could read various posts or websites but I couldn't post anywhere!!! It got to the point where I couldn't send pm's either!

I haven't been doing very well at sticking to a workout routine. I have been ok food wise but it's not enough to lose any weight. I haven't allowed myself to be rewarded for mini-goals I was just looking forward to a new wardrobe. I think that needs to change and maybe I will be more willing to stick with a program....

 

[heart4pooh]

Congratulations Black Team!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had something great happen the other day... I recently finished up the sessions with my trainer and can't afford to continue with him When I went into the gym Tuesday morning I discovered they are having a Biggest Loser contest beginning Nov 1st!! So I signed up thinking it was perfect timing to keep me focused... Then when my trainer, Andy, came in he appoached me (while I was on the stairstepper) and told me that somebody wanted to donate 15 sessions to someone who would appreciate them and the first person he thought of was ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was speechless!!!!!!!!
Yeah me!!!!! So I start back with him Friday morning!!!

I'm also doing great on the Zone and I feel like all my hard work is coming together!! I hope everybody else is having a great week, too.

QOTD- I also am facing the possibility of Diabetes. I have insulin resistance and have been on glucophage for 8 yrs. My goal is to lose enough weight and have my bloodwork come back so amazingly good that I can stop taking the glucophage. I've lost 31 lbs since January and am looking forward to seeing my doctor's face when I walk in on Nov 21st for my next checkup

 

[TriMom]

I have big rewards for keeping on track - We are having family pictures taken in WDW in January, and I HAVE to look better than I do now for them. And the the Princess 1/2 is a big reward for me. Plus I know I will do better if I am more fit. Also my sis is getting married in February, and I am the matron of honor. I really want to look good for those pictures too.

But I am not rewarding mini-goals- In fact I don't have any mini-goals. HMMMM - I guess I need to work on that

Good Thursday Morning Almost the weekend

pixiemagic30 Let's you and me make a pack to get back on track. The shingles have really slowed me down. I thought I was past it but I went back on pain medication yesterday because the alleve was not cutting it. I can do it if you can do it.

leanne2255Congrats on the 25 pounds. That is something to be proud of

heart4pooh Good luck with the new contest. It can also help this one. ALso congrats on being that motivated that the trainer thought of you. That should make you feel great.

TriMom I wish that we had a picture taken when we were at DW this past AUg. There is no picture of me in the park except the group picture of the segway tour

Question of the Day
What time of day do you exercise?

I have to get it in during the morning. Now that ds2 is out of the house I have been thinking of taking a walk in the afternoon. Now that I am starting to feel better maybe I could do that. I am walking at school everyday. I have cafeteria duty. There are 6 teachers for 450 kids. 4 of the teachers just stand around the edge of the room and two of them even stand there and grade papers. My girlfriend and I walk the room. We usually meet up in the middle and chat for a couple of minutes but we are usually moving. One day I had my pedometer on and I clocked 1000 steps in the 20 minutes.

Have a great day everyone. Don't forget to work on the COW for week 6 and the weigh is tomorrrow.

 

[mytwoboys]

I always exercise round 10.... I just finished for today

 

[TriMom]

yesterday's question got me thinking.... I really should have some mini-goals and rewards in place. Thanksgiving is 5 weeks from today. So I have made the following reward schedule for accomplishments in the next 5 weeks. Official weigh in will be Thanksgiving MORNING!!

16 + pounds - NOT GOING TO HAPPEN - stop thinking about it...
14 -15 lbs - $60 for new clothes and a piece of Birthday Cake (DS2 will be 3 on Nov. 24, and his party is part of Thanksgiving)
12 - 13 lbs - $40 for new clothes and a piece of Birthday Cake
10 -11 lbs - $20 for new clothes and a piece of Birthday Cake
6 - 9 lbs - a piece of Birthday Cake
5 or under - nothing - if I only lose 5 lbs - then I have been eating junk food, and I don't need any Birthday Cake.

I have to work out in the mornings. For reasons out of my understanding - I am incapable of running in the evening. On Tuesday, I had a out of the ordinary day, and didn't get to the gym until 8:30 pm. I was only able to run 1/4 miles at a time. And my current longest strait running is 6 miles - so a 1/4 mile is really short for me. But this morning I ran 4 miles no - problem, and I felt so good, I even walked another 2. Definately a morning workout if at all possible.

Have you stayed at theAKL or have you just signed up for the DVC there? We spent 1 night there thanks to my sister and her husband. It was our anniversary present. We had a Savannah view that was out of this world.

How are we doing on Week 6 COW?

In #4 they want us to make Halloween special for someone. I usually do this since my dh's birthday is Halloween. We will do something special. Ds2 is coming home from college the night before so that we cancelebrate before he goes to the football game.

#5 I am struggling with this dh needs to watch his cholesterol but insists on bringing home chips which at times are hard for me to resist. Luckily he has gotten into the habit of getting the smaller size so they aren't in the house as long as the bigger bags.

I clocked in 8000 steps on Sat running erands and going to a boy scout campfire. I did again yesterday with school and then mowing someone's lawn.

I have done some other stuff on this week's COW. Hope you have also.

 

[Raenstoirm]

What time I exercise depends on the day. I get in a 1.5 mile walk every morning around around 7 (sometimes closer to 8 which makes me late for work!). Mon and Wed I do my 30 minutes of cardio at 4 and then have my trainer at 5. Tuesdays and Thursdays I get to the gym usually around 3 and try to get in a hour of cardio. Friday is my off day and the weekend is whenever and whatever kind of exercise I can fit in!

 

[pixiemagic30]

pixiemagic30 Let's you and me make a pack to get back on track. The shingles have really slowed me down. I thought I was past it but I went back on pain medication yesterday because the alleve was not cutting it. I can do it if you can do it.

donac -- You're on! I know that if I have someone keeping tabs on me I will do much better!

QOTD
When I do get my exercising in, it's usually first thing in the morning and I'm finished by 8am so that I can start classwork with my kiddos. Otherwise if I don't get it in by then, I'm lucky to get it in some other time during the day. I really need to get back with the Wii sports and DDR -- if I really get "into the game" I come out worn out! What a great workout!

 

[TriMom]

pixiemagic30 - Do you homeschool? I thought very seriously about it for my family, but they are wild with me, and are so well behaved in school. While I do think that I can do a great job with teaching them at their pace, I would spend way too much time discipling them. They know how to push mommy's buttons.

Yes we do -- we are in our 7th year! They can be a bit on the wild side for me too, but they have learned over the years that there is a time for fun, a time for school, and a time for chores! The biggest hurdle we had was getting the kiddos to realize that mom wears multiple hats (mom vs. teacher). Once that was learned things are great. It is fun to re-learn things that I have forgotten since grade school.

 

[leanne2255]

First thing in the morning. Alarm goes off at 4:30 am, I lay in bed for a few more minutes, then get up and dressed to go to the basement where my treadmill and Bowflex are. I am glad to get it over and done with for the day. I have a TV down there, so catch the early morning news on CNN, or early shopping at QVC, whichever is better.

Tried doing it after work, but I could come up with a million excuses as to why I didn't feel like it.

This is probably the longest I have kept up with daily exercise, almost 5 months now, and I'm to the point that I feel guilty if I don't do it, or try to talk myself out of it.
