BL Challenge *RED* team week 11

[disneychrista]

Welcome to Week 11.

 

[mikamah]

Congratulations to all the losers from last week!!

I am up .8 this week. Those little extras through the week, thinking the exercise will counteract them, but it didn't. I've been a little lax on the journalling too. I'm going to really be strict and journal every bite this week so I can enjoy my thanksgiving.

Hope everyone has a good weighin!!

Hello Red team

I am down 4.1 lbs this week. I have been working hard to keep to my diet. I am hoping that I can at least maintain next week. WIth all that Thanksgiving food, I know it will be tough.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Hello Losers!!!

Ok, I'm not a loser, I'm not a gainer, I'm a maintainer this week. Which really surprises me. I've had 2 weeks now where I have not exercised. At all. My eating is out of control and I need to get on track. I have some friends who are going through some really hard times, work is really slow, so what do I do? Turn to food. Ugh. Someone make me STOP!!!!! I am frustrated.

morning losers----

i am thrilled that i lost a little more this week, i think like .5-1 lb but it got me to a number i was really really hoping to see. yea! and it enforces to me my current plan of mixing up my cardio is helping. I have been doing my cardio shorter duration but more intensity by intervals.

WOW ILLINIMOUSE! rock on!

to those who gained a little -- don't let it get you down! there is 5 days before Thanksgiving and you can burn alot of calories in 5 workouts!!

maintainers and losers -- tuck away that rejoiceful feeling and pull it back out Thanksgiving morning to strength you to keep portion control. (this to ALL )you know that the first few bites taste the best...after that it becomes mindless chewing

I lost .5 pound this week. Not sure what happened. I worked out every day, and its not "that time". Oh well, its still a loss! Congrats to all the "losers" and maintainers!!!!!!

Hoping everyone has a great Thanksgiving!

Hey! Onward. Enjoy your Thanksgiving Kathy! Thanksgiving is a lovely holiday. I hope everyone enjoys the day and feels no guilt.

Yeah to maintaining. A totally underestimated feat in my book. But I hear ya that you're wanting to eat because of stress. Stop!

Have a lovely week and hopefuly things, in life, will get better this week for you and your friends. I too work in an area where it's on or off or slow - so I understand.

Intervals rule the world. Good to hear. I would love to celebrate that number with you Molli. I can see it's exciting. Way to go!

Not sure what happened!!!! You lost weight. Okay, you did put "it's still a loss!"

The scale is a very interesting piece of apparatus, eh? It has no rhyme or reason sometimes.

 

[lisaviolet]

Whoops. Forgot me. I'm down 1.3 and thrilled.

I REALLY need to kick up the exercise. I had every intention of exercising 5 days this past week, but only managed to get in 2 days. I've had a terrible cold and sore throat and just couldn't push myself. But, with that being said, I did lose .8 this week (not much again) but it was enough to put me at exactly 55 pounds lost so I was able to get that 55 pound clippie!

Hope everyone has a fantastic week

Yeah I was waiting for you to post Donna.

Congratulations!!

 

[MickeyMagic]

Good job last week, Red Team. Sounds like we are losing slow and steady! That's the way to keep it off! Donna, a special congrats to you for hitting 55 pounds. That is amazing!

I had a good week and am down 2.2 pounds. I am not looking forward to next week's weigh in the day after Thanksgiving. I will be thrilled if I simply maintain! This means I need to drop some during the week because I am planning to enjoy some of those Thanksgiving goodies. I will allow myself to eat anything I choose, but will try to watch the portion sizes and second helpings! Another worry, two of my exercise classes won't be held this week, so I will have to try to do something else in their place.

Have a good week, Red Team. Let's re-claim 1st place next week!!!!

 

[luckywife]

Congratulations!!

Thank you so much, Lisa It has been such a long, hard journey but I feel like I can finally see a light at the end of the tunnel. Its been SO WORTH IT though, I'm so glad I changed my lifestyle and did this for myself and my boys. I've been looking back at pictures of myself from a few years ago and can't even believe that was me, if that makes sense lol.

Awesome job on your loss as well, great job to the whole team!

Oh that's so fantastic Donna. Of course it makes sense. You're so used to seeing the new you these days. And sometimes it's hard to remember that we were that size at one time.

I have some really wonky mirrors in my place - both of them - small condo 440 sq feet. Don't ask I'm downtown and it's expensive - real estate. Anyway, I get an extra "what the heck" whenever I leave this place. Because I look smaller in everybody else's mirrors. So it's like a double wow.

I just put on my winter coat yesterday. And it's so beautiful and way too big!!! And doesn't look as good anymore. And I remember buying it thinking "eeek - this might be a tad too tight - I'm taking a chance here with thick sweaters". And I bought it, at the time - a couple of years ago, after a big weight loss (mine has taken years)

So it truly is magical.

For me, I no longer eat emotionally. I'm sure it will happen once in awhile. But it's no longer an issue. I've taken care of so many issues. That's truly the key to my success these days. Weight loss and keeping it off is a heck of a lot easier when you take that factor out.

Hey everyone - I don't have Thanksgiving (Canadian). But I honestly hope everyone celebrates without guilt and has a wonderful day. I read on another thread - yes I was sneaking around - that you can weigh in early before Thanksgiving day if you want. That's fine with Brenda. So if that's a good tool for you all this week - use it.

Had my weekly weigh in today and I am down 3.2 for the week.

And after ups and downs I am down a total of 5.6 so far for the challange, not as good as I was hoping but at least its DOWN!

 

[adnil530]

Wow, what losers we have this week! Unfortunately, I am not one of them Up 1lb this week.

No exercise to speak of this week. Under the weather most of the week and could not bring myself to exercise, just didn't have the energy for it. This week will be a challenge.

Red team looks to have some great losses this week and we stand a good chance!

Thanks Red Team!
