TEAM MICKEY--Biggest Loser 11 Spring Team Challenge!

[tigger813]

Hi everyone!!!!

Been a pretty good day here. I ended up having a turkey club roll up for lunch and some garlic bread. For supper I made the TJs chicken burgers and had them on potato bread with chipotle mayo. I ended up doing 2 more miles on the elliptical while watching Rudy to make up for that. Now just lots of water the rest of the night while watching tv with Brian.

Brian and Ash went to a girls high school basketball game tonight. They are just getting home. We almost forgot about it and then someone called to remind us. Our team demolished the other team! Izzie watched some of her favorite shows while I worked out.

I'm trying to get a jump on laundry tonight. I also cleaned up the family room and vacuumed it so Ash and her friend will have a clean room tomorrow night. I won't get to do the elliptical on Saturday morning since they will be down there sleeping. If I get up early enough I will do a workout upstairs. I have to leave here around 9 for my Herbalife training! I got another order today! I just hope I can keep it up! I am excited to learn more this weekend.

Welcome to our new coach- ScubaD- Enjoy the week Dave! It's a lot of fun coaching! I can't wait for your questions!!!!!

OK, TEAM MICKEY! Can we beat TEAM DONALD again this week? I will be contributing more this week than I have been lately. I will be getting up early tomorrow to do the elliptical again. I just really love starting my day with that trek to nowhere watching something I enjoy!

Speaking of watching things I enjoy! Time for Big Bang Theory!!!!

Don't forget to PM me between now and Monday PM at 7:30PM EST!

Hello teammates,
Just came back form WW meeting and I was down another 2.2 pounds. And I just completed week #7 of P90X. Only six weeks of torture left then it's off to Walt Disney World!!!

Have a good night and I will be talking to you soon.

Dave

 

[Rose&Mike]

Congrats Dave!

Jeanette--love the pics!

QOTD--Enchanted! Love that movie.

I ran tonight. First time in a week. My foot is sore, but not too bad! I am icing it again.

I hope everyone has a great weigh-in tomorrow. Remember the important thing is to keep moving forward.

Welcome to Healthy Habits Pamper Week!

My name is CC (short for Christina) and I will be your Healthy Habits coach for BL 11. I love the BL challenges and Healthy Habits has helped me significantly in achieving many of my goals.

Some Background Information: Thanks to donac (Dona-hostess of Team Donald) and jenanderson for their amazing help so I know how to coach! I couldn’t do this without seeing them in action previously. I will be continuing the prizes that Jen started.

Here’s How Healthy Habits Pamper Week Works: Each day there will be three "Habits" for you to complete. You do not need to keep track of your points and there will not be a winner. This is simply for your enjoyment!

Welcome to Day 1, Friday 2/18

[/SIZE="4"]1) Go for a brisk walk for about 10 minutes.
2) Drink more water than usual.
3) Compliment yourself.[/SIZE]

P.S. Week 6 Results will be posted over the weekend. I apologize-again.

What is your favorite Disney non animated movie to rewatch?

POTC

POTC all of them

 

[ScubaD]

Looking at all of the usernames used on the DISboards it always occurs to me to ask what the history of a name is. I know some are easy to figure out while others have a very distinct meaning. For myself I was sitting with my wife (disneymom8589 - birth years of our two kids) when I was trying to figure what name I would use. During this time my son and I were into scuba diving so I mixed the scuba with D (for Dave), and came up with ScubaD. Original, huh???

So what is your story?

Dave

 

[Flossbolna]

Good Morning!

Dave, I think that's a great QOTD!

2-18-2011 - Friday - QOTD What is the meaning of your DISboards name

Mine is made up of two words: Floss - the name of the village where I grew up, and Bolna - the name of our family dog when I was a teenager.

Only after I had been posting for a while I remembered that floss also is an English word (English isn't my first language, I am German) and now am in constant fear that people think I am a fan of dental floss!

 

[Sugarglider]

QOTD Friday: screen name

well I have gone by the moniker "downunder sugarglider" for many years. The Downunder bit is pretty obvi and the sugarglider bit was given to me by my DH who said I am cute and addicted to sugar!

 

[Rose&Mike]

Kelli--Thank you so much for coaching this week! I apologize for being MIA

Welcome ScubaD as our coach this week! As far as I can remember, since I have been doing the challenges, this is the first time we have had a male coach. We're very happy to have you sticking it out.

Thank you to CC and Tracey for all that they do! The pamper week came at a great time CC!!!

QOTD--my name shows complete lack of imagination. My dh though is worse--he is MikeofRose&Mike

Sore foot today, but not too bad. We will run again on Sunday. I am pretty sure I accidentally got some gluten yesterday. My stomach felt awful. Feeling a little better today. It did kind of reaffirm that giving up gluten defininitely seems to be helping.

I hope everyone has a great weigh-in. I am at the low-end of my maintain. I might lower it a pound or two when we get back from the Princess.

I hope everyone is doing well. I need to spend some time updating all the threads today.

 

[aamomma]

Hello everyone! Sorry to say that I won't be contributing to the loss this week. I just weighed in and it was a big 0! I had a bigger week last week, but I was still hoping for 1 lb.!!! This is the first week since we started that I haven't lost, so I am somewhat discouraged today! (I hope I don't use that as an excuse to fall off the wagon this weekend) Hope everyone else has a better experience with their scales!!
QOTD Thursday: Enchanted, definitely.
QOTD Friday: My family will be glad to hear that this question was asked. They have always thought my screen name leads people to think I have a drinking problem (not so, we do not drink), actually it means Amy and Ali's Momma.

--the screen name aa part! I never thought that, but I did wonder what it meant.

I get the discouragement. But (here comes the pep talk) you wouldn't throw out all the dishes if you broke one plate. And I don't know if you started in January, but only having one week without a loss is fabulous! Hormones get in the way sometimes, life gets in the way sometimes. And sometimes, I think our bodies just are not in a losing mood. Hang in there, and I hope to hear of great results again next week!

I think that is great, I am amazed how memories of our dear pets maintain a part of our lives.

I guess we have all been "sugargliders" or we wouldn't be on this thread. That is funny.

Good answer Amy and Ali's momma. And you should be satisfied with 0 pounds, it is better than a "+" weight. Keep up the good job!!

How about that, I did a multi-quote.

Hi Team Mickey-Ites!

Anyone else look forward to weigh-in day? I usually do, but yesterday I took a sneak peek and hadn't lost an ounce and it really bummed me out. But TOM came and life was good this morning. Down 1.5 lbs for the week!

Even better was my NSV......I'm out of the size 12 pants and into size 10 now! Woo-hoo! Tried a pair on this morning just to see and was happily surprised. The 8's are beckoning.....and then the 6's....and then the 4's. It's pathetic how many different pairs of pants sizes I have in my closet. Anyone else?

QOTD: I didn't put much thought into my on-screen name when I joined. I like Disney, I like the Dis, and it all makes me happy.


GO TEAM MICKEY!!!!

I did the same thing not too long ago. It is amazing how we keep the old clothes. 44 to 42 to 40... for the guys closet.

And great job on the weight loss this week. Keep up the great job.

Dave

 

[Stinasmom]

Good "weigh in" Morning Team!

Hope you all are looking forward to the weekend.

Today is a "ME" day. Do you get those? EVERYONE should.
My DH is out of town, the kids have early release, but at least go to school for a while. I don't teach a Jazzercise class today, so I can do what ever I want for exercise. I also have full control of all my meals (when DH is out of town).
AND, I have a Girl's night out for the first time in 2 months!!
We are starting with a wine class on the wines of Italy with one of the top women wine experts in the world! She just happens to live and work here (at the university) when she is not being hired to go on all expense paid trips all over the world to taste, rate and write about wine.

I maintined (within a pound) my weight for the first time as a "maintainer." Yea!! So far, day is starting out great.

Thought I'd get caught up on the QOTDs:

2/16/11 Wednesday QOTD
Now that we are all on our way to being in better shape and Spring (seems) is on it's way, what sport or activity do you want to try/ get back to?

Just getting outside (and not freezing)! Biking around the country roads, hiking "the ridge," long dog walks, even yardwork sounds good right now if it's warm enough!

2/17/11 Thursday QOTD
What is your favorite Disney non animated movie to rewatch?

Mary Poppins - YES! All the Pixar movies especially... well, trying to think of my favorites but all pretty well describes it ---EXCEPT for WALL-E (too much political messaging), and POTC!

2-18-2011 - Friday - QOTD What is the meaning of your DISboards name?
DD's name is Christina. A nickname hasn't stuck yet but her friends are calling her "Stiner" right now
DS's name is Dominic, could be "dominosmom" I guess!

Off to do.... whatever!

[my3princes]

How about that, I did a multi-quote.

Dave

Multiquote will be your best friend after this week


Great job everyone on your weight losses and personal victories. I must admit that I am not back on track yet, but I'm working on putting small things in place to head me in the right direction. Yesterday our new water cooler arrived. I'll be glad when the plastic taste disappears I also went grocery shopping, bought things on sale or managers special and came home and posted the menu for the week on the refrigerator. That means I don't need to think about what we're having each night and I save a lot of money at the store. Two victories.

Friday QOTD: my name is probably explains itself, but I am Mom to 3 boys ie my3princes

 

[HappyMatt]

2-18-2011 - Friday - QOTD What is the meaning of your DISboards name

This is a great question. I always wonder where people's board names come from too.

Here is my story. Back in high school I doodled a lot and I mean a lot. I created a series of cartoony superheroes that I would draw over and over again. The main superhero was called HappyMan because he always had a huge smile and always tried to make people happy. This became my alter ego. I would become HappyMan and try to make my friends laugh or cheer them up if they were sad.

Over the years I have used HappyMan for various screen names and email address. Along the way it morphed into HappyMatt because my first name is Matt. I liked the way that sounded so I stuck with it and now it is my go to nom de plume.

I thought about choosing a more Disney oriented name for the DisBoards, but after much discernment I decided to be true to myself and stick with HappyMatt. Plus, if anyone wanted to read into the name and associate it with Disney they would assume I was referencing one of the 7 dwarfs, which would be ok with me too.

Wow, that was a complicated answer to a simple question.

 

[Cupcaker]

Good morning! I totally forgot today was Friday, but I will definitely take it! Its just been a long week. Im down a pound, yay! I hope everyone sees their numbers a little lower for this week

QOTD: I love cupcakes and I used to make them allll the time. But now I just eat them, only once in a while of course. So my friends and DF started calling me cupcake. My diser name is cupcaker because cupcake was taken

So I have this quest that maybe someone can help me with. DF wants our first dance to be a disney song. I was thinking a medley of some of the princesses songs. Anyone know of a good one??? or where i should look for one?

Hello teammates,
Just came back form WW meeting and I was down another 2.2 pounds. And I just completed week #7 of P90X. Only six weeks of torture left then it's off to Walt Disney World!!!

Way to go Dave! we are going to beat those Ducks! BTW i love your question of the day

Mine is made up of two words: Floss - the name of the village where I grew up, and Bolna - the name of our family dog when I was a teenager.

Only after I had been posting for a while I remembered that floss also is an English word (English isn't my first language, I am German) and now am in constant fear that people think I am a fan of dental floss!

Thats a funny fear to have

well I have gone by the moniker "downunder sugarglider" for many years. The Downunder bit is pretty obvi and the sugarglider bit was given to me by my DH who said I am cute and addicted to sugar!

how cute! arent we all, well I am definitely for sure addicted to sugar...

QOTD--my name shows complete lack of imagination. My dh though is worse--he is MikeofRose&Mike

I think is very sweet how you both have screen names with eachothers name.

QOTD Friday: My family will be glad to hear that this question was asked. They have always thought my screen name leads people to think I have a drinking problem (not so, we do not drink), actually it means Amy and Ali's Momma.

too cute

Even better was my NSV......I'm out of the size 12 pants and into size 10 now! Woo-hoo! Tried a pair on this morning just to see and was happily surprised. The 8's are beckoning.....and then the 6's....and then the 4's. It's pathetic how many different pairs of pants sizes I have in my closet. Anyone else?

Woo hoo! Congrats! Its always a good feeling leaving a pant size behind. Its even better when you're 2, 3, 4... down and actually having to get rid of them. Im working to get into a 4, down from an 18!

Today is a "ME" day. Do you get those? EVERYONE should.

I hope you have a fabulous ME day and even more fabulous girls night out.

Here is my story. Back in high school I doodled a lot and I mean a lot. I created a series of cartoony superheroes that I would draw over and over again. The main superhero was called HappyMan because he always had a huge smile and always tried to make people happy. This became my alter ego.

Over the years I have used HappyMan for various screen names and email address. Along the way it morphed into HappyMatt because my first name is Matt. I liked the way that sounded so I stuck with it and now it is my go to nom de plume.

That is so cool. I like your story.

Definition of BUNGLE
intransitive verb
: to act or work clumsily and awkwardly

This is pretty much me to the tee.

I'm a bit disappointed at my weigh in this morning, but I knew it wasn't going to be a huge loss since we went out for dinner the other night and I had cake.

I have to make cookies today and I'm trying to stay strong.
