Ok, everyone!! I didn't weigh myself in because I've been sick as a dog with fighting a cold PLUS figthing a TERRIBLE wisdom tooth!!! Finally got it calmed down enough. So, I'm sorry for letting you all down and I hope that this will be a better week for me.

Sorry.....:sad1: :sad2:
 
So I got back on track as far as diet today. Bad news I decided to carry two laudry baskets up the stairs and pull out my back. I'm moving just alot slower.
 
I eat alot of soups, chili, sandwiches. Sometimes I eat heavy stuff like pastas, meatloaf, etc. But, I've been doing really good with my soups and stuff for lunches. I've been getting those progresso soups and michalena's lean gourmet meals. Those buffalo pizza snacks are the bomb!!!! :thumbsup2

I had the same things last night for dinner and a small bowl of ice cream. For a snack in between all of this, I had an apple!! So, hopefully, this will be a great week for me!!! We'll see. I did have some candy yesterday, but not too bad.:rotfl:
 

HELLO!!! I am so so sorry I have not been around. Today I finally got pissed off and drove to a mall to buy a computer charger. Best Buy sent mine weeks and weeks ago and it's still not here.:mad:

Since I haven't had internet, I've really slacked on the Weight watchers stuff. I've been a complete cow.

We're going away for a month on Friday, so I'll be MIA again.

I am still the same as I was when we started this. It's so depressing.:guilty:
 
QOTD - I ususally cook differently in the winter - the house always feels chilly so I want soup or stew or meatloaf or creamy cheesy pasta type things - I also love hot apple cider or a peppermint mocha from starbucks when its really cold outside. I am trying to do more roasted things such as a pork tenderloin or roast chicken and steamed veggies or roasted potatoes instead of other things. I still have a hard time with stew because while the stew or chili may be low points - its the cornbread or fresh biscuits that my family insists on that usually are the most tempting for me.

After vacation and then an off week, I feel I've had a good week over all (I know its only tuesday but I have to tell someone about exercising today!) - Our local YMCA recently had a membership drive and I joined - well, classes started yesterday for this session and I did a water aerobics class yesterday and a strength training/stretching class today (which I thought wouldn't be nearly as hard as it was :lmao: ) - I really want to learn yoga but the two times I've tried it I couldn't do it even half-way because the poses were to advanced for my inflexible flabby self -I feel sore but a good kind of sore not a I hurt and am in so much pain I can't move kinda way. I don't know when the last time was that I felt so good about my physical accomplishment- even if its not much for some other people.

briarmom - glad to see you again! Hope your month away is successful and at least relaxing.

I've got to go back and catch up on all the posts but its seems people are hanging in there! Way to go Blue! Have a great week everyone - you can do it!
 
hey everyone, thanks for your words of wisdom, encouragement and support. I am feeling a little bit better. I went to TaeKwonDo last night, and it felt so good to get back into it. I hadn't been back since our trip. So that helped me get in a better mood.

Hear Ye Hear Ye, the Weightkeeper speaks

Before we begin tonights festivities here is another official announcement. The grand finale of the NBC Biggest Loser show will be Tuesday, December 16.
Our final weigh in will be Friday, December 12.​
That day each team will start a finale thread and I will post the final results on each thread on Tuesday, December 16. That will make our challenge 13 weeks long. That means we are now at the halfway point. How are you doing loser?

We do not have BL on TV tonight, but we DO have WISH BL numbers to enjoy. It was another close week. Pay close attention.

-------------------Black Team-----Blue Team-----Red Team-----Total

Blue Team Week 7

15 weigh ins
2 gains totaling 1.8 lbs
5 maintain
8 losses totaling 21.7 lbs
6 removed from challenge with net losses totaling 14 lbs

Weekly net loss 19.9 lbs
Cumulative net loss 163.8 lbs


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

In some respects my job is getting easier with fewer participants in our challenge. I am having a dilemma with trying to calculate weekly percentages in a fair manner. This week was a struggle. Those that skipped weeks had their percentages adjusted. Not too hard.

Now this week again I had nice losses from some of last weeks gainers. I decided to subtract their gains from this weeks loss and use that to calculate percentages. Some losers are still working on last weeks gain and even though they lost this week they are not named as superstars. I know this may not be the best way to handle this but I just want to be fair to our consistent losers.

And as usual keep in mind I am human. I am just a lowly volunteer here. I do not get paid for the hours I spend doing this. I do make mistakes. If you have a concern please PM or email me.

OK I have said enough. Now pay attention. Let's get this party started.

Congrats to all of the losers! :cool1:

Hey guys, I am on call tonight and tomorrow night, so if you guys don't mind, I am going to post both sets of QOTD, just in case I don't get to it tomorrow.

QOTD:
Wednesday- Is it easier or harder to eat healthy when it's colder out?


Thursday - do you have to change your exercise routine when the weather is colder?

Hey, where is everybody? Come on blue, lets fight together!:grouphug:

For me, I think it is harder to eat healthy when it's cold outside, because the fresh fruits and veggies aren't as abundant. I love the roadside corn on the cob stands and the farmer's markets.

And I don't get out and walk as much when the weather is colder. So I know I get less exercise in general. But I guess this year I am going to have to fight a bit harder for me, and schedule in exercise time inside. I have so many tapes and DVD's to choose from and an eliptical. Just have to make the time commitment.
 
Hi everyone -

glad you are feeling better Vija! I hope the back from disney "blues" haven't been too bad.

QOTD - I find it much harder to eat healthier in the Winter - I don't want a salad - I want something warm! Plus as was said earlier all the nice fruits and veggies aren't as readily available-except our family favorite CLEMENTINES - which we can't wait for! I love apples and have been trying to buy different apples everytime I shop. We aren't big root veggie eaters (except potatoes) and broc or green beans end up being on the menu several nights a week so we get tired of them. I'm also trying things like and apple spice tea which has zero points as opposed to hot apple cider which has 2-3 points - its the extras like that (hot beverages or an extra roll or just a "little more pasta") which usually put me over my points.

QOTD - Thursday - I've been exercising more now that winter is setting in - I know I can tend towards overdoing it (foodwise) so I'm forcing myself to exercise more to curb my appetite - but I also get the "blues" pretty easily. I've found the the exercise makes me feel better. I still walk the dogs every night with DH unless it is pouring rain, but that 25 mins alone together really helps keep us connected in an otherwise busy life.

I hope everyone has a great and healthy week!

Lisa
 
Good News- I met my exercise goal to ride my stationary bike 8 miles at least 4 times this week! :woohoo:

BAD News- The birthday binge didn't stop from the weekend and I regained the weight I lost last week...:scared1:

I usually "relax" my point requirements a bit on the weekend, but this weekend will have to be much more strict to get back on track. Sorry blue!
