TEAM MICKEY--Biggest Loser 11 Spring Team Challenge!

[mommyof2Pirates]

QOTD Sat. 2/26: If you were in a Disney park right now, what would you be doing?

I have to answer this one since I actually was there this sat. I will tell you what I did. Ak for rope drop at 9, rode KS, EE, and did IT's tough to be a bug. Then went to DHS, ate lunch at pizza planet, did TOT, R&R, AI, watched the parade, Great Movie Ride, and ate dinner at Mama Melrose. It was the night before my race so I went back to CBR by myself, sat with my feet in the hot tub while reading a good book, and relaxed!

This wouldnt be the typical saturday for us but it was a great time!

You know what the hardest part of P90X (insert any workout program here) is pressing the "play" button. I did not want to workout this morning but I pressed the "play" button and I feel great.

Dave

You are so right dave. Glad you pressed play!!!!!

Oh, and on a different note my lawyer called me yesterday afternoon. The long 3 year nightmare of everything that happened with my late husband and daughter is over. No more mediations, depositions, phone calls, trips to my lawyer's office, etc etc. He called to let me know that they settled out of court and its over. I went through many emotions yesterday and I still don't think its completely sunk in yet.

Have a great day everyone!

So glad to hear this. I am so happy this part is finally over for you.

I don't remember if I told everyone on here (to lazy to go back and look) that I'm training for the Buzz and Woody Best Friend 5K that is during the marathon weekend for next year. I've gotten my trainer on board with helping me to train.

That sounds like a wonderful goal!!!!!!!! You will love it.

Ok teammates, how was the Princess Half-Marathon? What was your time? Share your experiences with us, we are waiting to hear from you.

Dave

I am back dave! It was fabulous! I will post below on how I did. Thank you so much for asking!!!!

Well I turn the big 4-0 today and I am feeling great about it! Back when I was 35 I remember saying that I needed to lose some weight before I was 40. The reason was, my mom was diagnosed with diabetes when she was 40 so in the back of my head I have always thought that I need to get the weight off before then to hopefully not get it also. I know I can still get it - but I have lost almost 50 lbs. since August so at least I am trying to do something.

Happy belated bday. Great job on the weight loss.

Mine was yesterday and I turned 46. So I my long term goal is to be in tip top shape before I hit 50.

Happy Belated Birthday!!!!!

Well, I'm not going to bore you with the long details but Alan's son isn't going to be coming out here today.

sorry for the ups and downs. I hope it all works out for you.

QOTD Tuesday, 3/1: What is your exercise goal for the month of March?

Can you tell I'm a planner?

I am training for another half marathon on May 1st. So my goal is to keep up with my running plans.

My son who is 17 has struggled the past couple of years with his weight. He really wasn't happy with his weight and that cannot be easy as a high school Boy!

DS has lost 15 lbs!!! I am so happy for him, I have a little tear as I type this! Even if I had not lost a single pound, this would have been worth it just for him!!!

That is so wonderful. I am happy to hear that. You are setting a great example for him.


Well I did it. 13.1 miles with a smile!!!! The princess half marathon weekend was all that I could have imagined. I had a wonderful time. I met up with Rose...and Kathy, Lisa, Corinna, and Maria from Team Donald. It was great to meet everyone in person. My time was 3 hrs and 12 min but I honestly spent about 30 min total on stopping to take pics. I told myself this was going to be all about fun this race and that is definitely what it was. Honestly it felt easy to run that far with all the entertainment around me. It was awesome and I am feeling really great about myself.

The weather in disney was absolutely wonderful. Mid 80's and sunny. I am now depressed being back home in dreary 40 degree weather. I cant wait for our spring to arrive.

I am headed back to work tomorrow so I am just enjoying my last day off with my boys. I also feel pretty motivated to start loosing some weight again. I will need to start with the 2.8lbs I gained over this trip weekend. I think its all water retention from my run.

If anyone is interested I will be doing a race report on my wish journal the link is in my sig.

QOTD Tuesday, 3/1: What is your exercise goal for the month of March?

Can you tell I'm a planner?

I'm going to try to get in 2 to 3 training sessions a week.

I'm going to lose 3 pounds by the end of the month **fingers crossed**

[SurferStitch16]

QOTD March 1: my goal for March is to lose 10 pounds. I know it's a lofty goal. I know it's pretty lofty with what I have been losing recently, but my best friend is dealt into fitness(I call him my personal trainer, can't beat the price, lol) and he thinks I should be in for a big lose hopefully in the next couple of weeks. I also want to go to the gym six days a week.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! what an accomplishment!! I bet you're hooked now!! WAY TO GO!!!!!!

QOTD Tuesday, 3/1: What is your exercise goal for the month of March?

Can you tell I'm a planner?

Perfect question for today since I just got back from my first personal trainer session. I want to add core & strength training to my workouts. I am going to be so sore tomorrow!

Lesson I learned today: always put my credit card back in my wallet when I am done with it. I realized today just after all my groceries were scanned and bagged that my card was in my work pants, not my wallet. So I had to drive home and back. I ended up getting to my trainer apt 10 minutes late.

 

[Merryweather27]

QOTD Tuesday, 3/1: What is your exercise goal for the month of March?

Do at least 30 minutes of something 6 days a week, expanding my options more as injured parts recover. First order of business tonight is trying to figure out why my otherwise silent stationary bike suddenly started to make loud grinding noises about 20 minutes into my workout last night. ???

 

[Disneywedding2010]

Afternoon team Mickey!

I'm going to pat myself on the back for a moment. Since Saturday, I've worked out every day. This is my schedule starting on Feb 26 - March 4th.

Saturday: 2 miles at Fort Worth stockyards
Sunday: half mile around neighborhood
Monday: half mile around neighborhood
Tuesday: 1.5 miles around neighborhood
Wednesday: Training session
Thursday: Taking a break
Friday: Training session

So, after noticing all this kick butt working out on my calendar I hear the UPS man pull up. Could it be? Could it be that my Girl Scout cookies have arrived?

5 boxes of Thin Mints. I think I'll need to resort to what I did last year. Throw 4 boxes in the freezer and then "forget" about them. .

 

[Disneywedding2010]

Oh, and I also just realized its been 60 days since my last soda!

 

[Connie96]

Howdy! I am going to compile WIN results this evening. If you still want to submit your number for the 2/25 "measure-in", please do!

 

[tigger813]

Sorry, I haven't had time to work on the results! I will get to them later tonight or tomorrow morning! I just got home from Ash's 5th grade concert and I have to get the kids ready for bed and then hop on the elliptical for my Tuesday night trek!!!

Anyone joining me tonight? Post when you're done!!!!

TTFN

 

[tigger813]

:Funny you should mention Tracey giving massages, I keep thinking that I should go to her. It's not that far...

PM me when you want to come! The spa is in Acton! I work Tuesday AM, Wednesday (PM) Thursday (AM and PM) and Friday (AM) and some Saturdays! Would love for you to come!!!!

 

[cclovesdis]

Evening Everyone!

Sorry I didn't get on this morning. I'm not sure what I did between 4:30 and 5:30 AM, but I know it wasn't pretty.

I won't be on until late tomorrow night as well. Hoping to fit in some gym time tomorrow, but I'm not optimistic. I did get in 30 minutes tonight!

Some replies, starting with my own...

QOTD Tuesday, 3/1: What is your exercise goal for the month of March?

Can you tell I'm a planner?

My goal is 30 minutes 5x a week, with the bulk of it being at the gym. I love the recumbent bike!

One goal, complete weeks 9-13 of P90X and photo the results.

Dave

We get to see right?!?!?

cursed Girl Scout cookies!!!!!!!!!!!

Ours haven't arrived yet. I'm dreading that day.

Mine would be to exercise It is sugaring season for us so I will have lots of physical labor involved for the month so that should help

Definitely!

QOTD March Goal

Exercise!!

Lose 5 lbs!


So I HAVE to brag cause I am proud Mama.

My son who is 17 has struggled the past couple of years with his weight. He really wasn't happy with his weight and that cannot be easy as a high school Boy!

DS has lost 15 lbs!!! I am so happy for him, I have a little tear as I type this! Even if I had not lost a single pound, this would have been worth it just for him!!!

Thanks for indulging me!

Nancy

Congrats to DS!

Love your goals!

This is a easy one, well it sounds easy but it will not. My goal for the month is to drop below 170 lbs. So this will be about 5 more pounds. Lets see no birthdays, wedding or baby showers. Not a party in sight. I may have a good chance at this.

Oh wait, Lent starts this month. Fish Frys in Buffalo. Oh boy. It may be tough.

I see reaching your goal in your future!

As for Lent, I LOVE, LOVE my fish baked with some parsley and lemon.

I bought new scales yesterday, and was thinking the same exact thing!!! Man, I'm gonna have to lose 2 lbs. just to "maintain" this week!!! LOL

And, if I were a betting woman, I'd guess you'd do just that!

 

[cclovesdis]

QOTD Tuesday, 3/1: What is your exercise goal for the month of March?

To exercise for at least 30 minutes / 6 days a week
(this will be up from 20 min 3-4 days a week)

Have a Great Day Team Mickey

Slow and steady!

QOTD: My goal is to do 4-6 miles a day 5-6 days a week. Some days I just can't fit it in. I slept in this morning due to DH being paged in the wee hours this morning but when I go home at 2 I will do the 4 mile WATP or the 4 Mile BL Power walk. I am also planning on doing my 2+ miles during BL that I do each week!

No further comment.

March goal---to do sit-ups (hopefully more often than the once a week when I feel like it that I manage now). Wish me luck!

I was just talking to someone about sit-ups. What a great goal! Good luck!

QOTD:

My exercise goal is to run a 5K on March 19 - and try to be faster than during my last 5K. I am not sure that this is going to happen. I seem to be slower and slower everytime I go out for a run. But it doesn't matter. I just want to try my best and will take whatever time it will be!

Love your mentality!

Lindsay: So glad to hear that you had a wonderful time at the Princess 1/2! You rocked it!

I can't believe you are running another 1/2!

I'm going to try to get in 2 to 3 training sessions a week.

I'm going to lose 3 pounds by the end of the month **fingers crossed**

You'll do it! I know you will!

QOTD March 1: my goal for March is to lose 10 pounds. I know it's a lofty goal. I know it's pretty lofty with what I have been losing recently, but my best friend is dealt into fitness(I call him my personal trainer, can't beat the price, lol) and he thinks I should be in for a big lose hopefully in the next couple of weeks. I also want to go to the gym six days a week.

I think it's a fine goal as long as you do it safely and it sounds to me like you are doing just that!

Perfect question for today since I just got back from my first personal trainer session. I want to add core & strength training to my workouts. I am going to be so sore tomorrow!

Enjoy!

Well, I just finished a decent workout, but I may throw in some strength before I hit the sack.

PM me when you want to come! The spa is in Acton! I work Tuesday AM, Wednesday (PM) Thursday (AM and PM) and Friday (AM) and some Saturdays! Would love for you to come!!!!

Thanks! I'll let you know!

 

[ScubaD]

Evening Everyone!



We get to see right?!?!?

We will have to see about that! If I am under 250 pounds then I will share. So I guess I will come in at 250.00001 pounds

 

[tigger813]

Just finished 2.55 miles! Over 800 calories burned! If I keep this up I should have a good loss this week but I don't want to jinx myself like I have the past few weeks! I can and will do this!!!!

I got my Herbalife products in the mail today so that will help me even more. I got some personalized protein powder so I can increase that when I make my morning shakes. Also looking forward to having my tea at home and the wellness center!

I did about 1200-1300 calories I think. I ate the most at supper. I had a small handful of M&Ms this afternoon and I had some TJs onion rings. I had a shake this morning and then I had a protein bar for lunch so I had only done about 300 calories at 2 plus I gave a 75 minute hot stone massage and I was sweating during that.

I did break down and have a diet mt. dew but I needed an extra boost before and after the massage. Need to plan my meals for the next 2 days. I think we're doing pizza on Friday when we have a friend of ours over that we haven't seen in a few months. I hope to also go to the school fundraiser tomorrow night and see her!

I made my hair appointment today! I have no idea what I will have done. I want something totally new and some highlights which I've never done. I know the stylist will make it great!

Mickey Statistics: Week 8
Here we celebrate our progress and recognize our superstars.

Reminders:
-after 3 weeks of no reporting, you are dropped from the challenged – can re-start at any time, though
-if anybody knows they will miss weighing in, just PM and let me know and you’ll be marked excused

First some stats

MAINTAINERS:
(staying within 2 lbs of their maintain weight is successfully maintaining!)
# of Maintainers Reporting In & Successfully Maintaining: 2
Congrats Rose & Mike and StinasMom

LOSERS:
weigh ins----------------------- 32
gains---------------------------- 8
maintains------------------------ 3
losses-------------------------- 21


Biggest Loser 11 Spring Challenge Week 8 Team Mickey!
This week’s group loss is 18.7 lbs.
Average percentage of weight lost .28 %
Total group weight loss so far 490 pounds!

AWESOME!

Before the weekly superstar list comes the disclaimer. I am human and I make mistakes. If you have any questions please contact me. For your reference this is the magic percentage of weight lost formula - weight loss for the week divided by weight for last week times 100, that gives us the percentage. Now let me test that with my numbers for week 1, click, click, click goes the calculator. Yes, that agrees with the percentage on the magic spreadsheet. (btw if its been more than 1 week between weigh-ins, then the % loss is divided by the number of weeks, to keep everybody on the same basis)

Now let's get to the good stuff. Who were our superstars of the week? This time I’ve done a TOP 10 LIST ! That criteria may change from week to week. Hey I'm in charge here and I get paid nothin' to do this so you better take what you can get! (and if there’s something you want to know, just ask me!)

Mickey had the most losses this week and the best average loss!

Keep up the good work! I'm working hard to get us the win for next week!

 

[cclovesdis]

Morning Everyone!

2 days until weigh=in! Make every bite and movement count!

QOTD Wed. 3/2: What is positive choice you made in eating in the las few days? A healthy swap? Anything really-share something positive!

I haven't had soda in weeks. I also have been using fat free cream cheese and like that just as much as reduced fat.

Have a great day everyone!

 

[tigger813]

QOTD: I'm snacking better! I bought some 60 calorie mouse pudding cups and have been eating those with a bit of whipped cream on top.

Yesterday went very well for me food and exercise wise! I just need to stick with that fr 2 more days! I slept until 6 again. DH got paged at 2 something. Poor guy! Some weeks he doesn't get paged at all but this week has been ridiculous overnight! At least he only has to travel to the living room.

Going to hop on the elliptical or do BL Power Walk as soon as I put Izzie on the bus this morning. I will do another workout after getting home from the fundraiser or after Izzie gets home and before her dentist appointment. Or maybe both! I keep telling myself that I want to be the BL this week so I'm working extra hard at my exercise! I've only lost 3.2 lbs this time. I have been on the end of the yo-yo going up and down since we started and that needs to stop right now!! Going away on a girls' weekend in 3 1/2 weeks so I had better get my act together! I would love to reach 140 by then! If I can have weeks like this week where I work out hard everyday and eat right I should be able to do it! I got back to last Friday's weight this morning so now I just need to keep it up!

Time to wake Ashleigh up and make a cup of tea!!!

TTFN

I'll post the percentage to goal results later this morning!
