[luckywife]

Good Morning Red Team

I'm down 1.6 pounds this week, which I was THRILLED with! My eating last weekend was less than stellar, but somehow I was able to have a loss. I was really pleased after I weighed myself when I realized that I haven't been at this weight in probably 15 YEARS! I have about 27 more pounds to go, but feel like I'm finally going to do this and reach my goal!

WISHing everyone a very safe and Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween

Well, after having a gain last week (from water) I have finally been able to turn it around. Down 6 LBS this week. I hope I can keep it up.

Have a great weekend...Step away from the candy!!!

Dang! 6 pounds! You'll have to go buy new clothes this weekend!!!

As for me, -1. Hopefully I'm done yo-yoing for awhile. I've watched the first 3 pounds I lost go up and down. This pound I've lost this week is a whole new territory for me....I haven't lost it before on the BL challenge! LOL

Well, first of all - that's wonderful.

But my goodness, selfishly, your thread was nice for me to read. It is me too. I remembered that that's that for me too. I haven't been at this weight for years either. Fabulous. And I'm about 20-30 from goal too. I have no idea because I'm a big girl - bones and height. So my goal is probably someone else's high weight so we shall see.

Once again - celebrate that luckywife. Celebrate. Sorry for hijacking! But that's wonderful to read.

Happy Halloween

Outstanding. You must be thrilled.

1) You're so right. Maintaining is awesome. And I truly believe that we often overlook that fact all through life

and....


Congrats to you. Onward and downward for you. Have a wonderful weekend.

And me. I'm down two pounds. And I'm at new territory weight wise. So wonderful. Unfortunately, I have some mental issues surrounding weight and body. As in I'm uncomfortable as I become smaller and closer to goal. I know - strange. So hopefuly I can overcome. I'll be working on it for sure.

Happy Halloween to you all!!!

[Melisa1]

I am down 2 pounds this week!!!!!!!!!

Good luck to everyone! Hope everyone has a safe Halloween!

 

[sahbushka]

I am down 3 lbs this week! I am soooooo thrilled! Happy Halloween everyone!

 

[kcashner]

I didn't reweigh today--was 3 down as of yesterday. However....just had to share comments from DD

"Candle for Lady MacBeth costume 88 cents. Extra credit to assure my A in English, Priceless." Contemporary Lady MacBeth for school. Tifa for Cosplay tonight. And she shrunk into her formal for tomorrow night!

 

[ohMom]

I forgot to wish everyone a Happy Halloween!!

i'm making choc. dipped pretzels right now (wilton mold) to take to the neighbor's gathering tonight -- none for me -- that is NOT a decision that supports my goal and honestly nothing special about them. just have to be accountable

i did get a workout in, it's been a hectic week for me, i worked 23 hours to help out for flu shot clinics this week. so being at work at some point mon - thurs really cut into my week! and my workouts!

i'm sure we have some CSI watchers here....that recent episode with the hypnotist...i have adopted the new mantra "The choices I make control my weight"

and a serious cyber HIGH FIVE to our losers!! WOWSER!!!

f or those entering new territory or new 'decades' of numbers on the scale, thank you for sharing b/c that totally truly inspires me!

 

[MickeyMagic]

Well, good news and bad news... I am down 1.2 pounds this week, but that still puts me up 3.6 from a few weeks back. At least I am on the downward trend again!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN RED TEAM

 

[mikamah]

Happy Halloween to all you awesome Red team losers!!

Disneynut- 6 pounds!!! That's awesome!!

Luckywife and Lisa-- What an awesome feeling to hit a low that you haven't seen in a long time. Congratulations.

ohMom- What a great saying. I just wrote it on a post-it and am going to keep it on my fridge. It is so true, but we can make such bad choices sometimes. I don't think I would be able to make chocolate dipped anything without sampling. Good for you.

I went to weight watchers this morning, expecting a loss, because I was up last week, and really stayed on program this week, and I was up one pound. I know it's not much, but I was so frustrated that i just wanted to cry, which isn't me. Once I thought about it realistically, I should have been up more than I was last week and it didn't show, but it aggravated me. I hate to let that scale do that to me. I got over it, I am still on track today. It is only a number, and I feel so much better eating healthy and exercising, and I can't let the scale have so much power over my attitude.

I didn't buy any halloween candy until this morning because I usually buy it early on a good sale, and then eat half of it and need to buy more. I will definitely have a couple pieces tonight, but am not going to eat any while out trick or treating with my son. I figure I'll sit down and enjoy it rather than mindlessly munch the night away.

Good luck everyone with the halloween candy.

Even though I'm not anywhere close to where I'm noticing myself being smaller, let alone anyone else...I have issues with that, too. I do NOT like being singled out or being the center of attention, so I think I will have a really hard time having people mention that I look different. It's really kind of silly isn't it? We're working hard at becoming healthy, yet we (or at least I) don't want to be recognized for it. I guess that's why it's so much easier for me to be on a message board vs going to weight watchers of anything like that.

Anyone else dealing with this? How did you overcome it?

 

[IlliniMouse]

Good morning everyone! How did everyone do over Halloween? I have to confess...I was a very bad girl. Ok, I could have done WAY worse, but I caved. I arrived at work...and discovered there was a potluck. I'm off on Thursdays and no one called to alert me to this fact, so I was totally unprepared. (They don't care if you bring anything or not, and we always have way too much food, so probably just as well that I didn't take anything.) I had a few crackers, then I saw someone made creme de menthe brownies, and I had a small corner of a scotcharoo. Later on someone brought in a bunch of M&M's with candy corn, nuts and a few other things. I had a few of those. Ugh.

So, then it was on to my Mom's for dinner and passing out candy. Did fine with dinner, had one Snickers fun size, a cookie, and part of a brownie.

Thank goodness it's Saturday and I have the whole week to make up for my naughtiness.

Hear Ye Hear Ye, the Weightkeeper FINALLY speaks

Sorry ladies. I went on vacation and had a hard time returning to reality. I have not been in a number crunching mood. Here is week 6 that is really late. It is quite a nail biter of a week so hold on here we go.

-------------------Black Team-----Blue Team-----Red Team-----Total
started week---------35-------------33-------------35-----------103
removed---------------7--------------5--------------8------------20
new members-------------------------2-----------------------------
current-members------28-------------30-------------27-----------85
not reporting 1 wk------4--------------3--------------7-----------14
not reporting 2 wk------8--------------7--------------3-----------18
weigh ins for week-----16-------------20-------------17-----------53

Red Team Week 6

17 weigh ins
4 gains totaling 8.2 lbs
2 maintains
11 losses totaling 15.8 lbs
8 removed from challenge losses totaled 21.6 lbs

Weekly net loss 7.6 lbs
Cumulative net loss 97.1 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?

We also had a weird week with big losses following gains from last week. To be fair I also divided those percentages in half. There is probably a better mathematical way to calculate this but my brain is fried right now. Sorry.

And as usual keep in mind I am human. I do make mistakes. This was a rushed calculation and I now have week 7 numbers to tackle. If you have a concern please PM or email me.

OK I have said enough. Now pay attention. With only 11 losers this week everyone who lost is a superstar.

WooHoo!!! We finally came out on top! I knew we could do it! An Congrats to all our losers - especially Molli. Haven't we seen you at the top before? Good for you!

I didn't do so well this weekend, but today is another day! I'll do better this week. I'm anxious to get exercising again. I took last week off to recover from a week at Disney topped off by the 13K Tower of Terror run. My feet were aching! Soooooo... I'm off to get to work and then go walk a couple miles.

Hope everyone has a great week!

 

[CharityLynn]

Congrats all you losers! I finally got back to the gym today after 2 weeks away, I was pretty sick. I did gain 2lbs in those 2 weeks but I keep telling myself it could have been worse. I'm actually 4lbs more now then I was when I started this. I am making myself accountable and have recommited myself to this and I'm excited about it.

 

[MickeyMagic]

Way to go RED TEAM! Now, let's stay on top! I've been doing fine with my exercise, but the food! Oh boy, the food! I think it started with some bad choices with that Halloween candy and then snowballed! I've been struggling lately, but vow to get back on track!

Have a healthy day!

Congrats biggest losers!!! A for us.

and a very special for Molli. Wow Molli - twice, eh? Way to go!!!

And red - and I said I didn't care. Fantastic.

We did well this week too!!! So we shall see.

I might not be weighing in. I'm off to a funeral in Quebec on Wednesday and don't know when I'll return. The first day after I found out all I wanted to do was eat - and I did without regret. But it's getting better.

Hope everyone is having a good week,

Lisa
