TEAM MICKEY--Biggest Loser 11 Spring Team Challenge!

[my3princes]

Hey there everyone on Team Mickey. I know it isn't weigh in day (and I normally only weigh myself on Monday mornings, but I decided to see what today brought. Well, I'm down two pounds since I weighed in on Monday. Yay!!! Supper excited about it! So, my question is where do yall get those banner things that are in your signature that say WISH 15 lbs and all? I'm so close to needing a 15 lb one. I didn't know if yall just save them off of someone else's signature or what?!

Thanks so much! I hope it is a beautiful day wherever you are!

Great

Hi all,

I haven't really joined in the conversation since we started and truth be told I've been pretty discouraged with myself (haven't lost a pound and not feeling like I'm giving it 100%). About the only thing I've been able to keep up with is drinking the water.

When we started someone asked what my goal was and I didn't really have one and maybe that's my problem. I'd like to loose 20 pounds but I've "liked to loose 20 pounds" for years so clearly that's no motivator for me.

However, I think .... no, I know ...I've got one now. This summer I managed to be able to do something that I said at the time was on my "bucket list" which inspired me to try and do other things on that list. One of them is the "Not Since Moses Run" http://www.notsincemoses.com/index.html

Now, I don't know why this appeals to me so much; apart from my once a week soccer game, or when something scary is chasing me, I don't run! But I really want to do this 5k. Also, if anyone listens to the DID Podcast, Dave's interview with Jeff Galloway really inspired me.

So that's my goal....this August I will run a 5k race (even if I end up walking it!). Haven't said it out loud to anyone yet except here but I did go last night to our indoor walking track and did a mile and a half brisk walk, (which for some reason my stomach muscles are telling me today they didn't enjoy) using Jeff's tips for training. Can't get out today because of the foot and a half of snow being dumped on us today but my plan is to go to the Mall tomorrow, walk another couple miles and reward myself with coffee with a friend.

Who knows....maybe next February I will head to Disney to do the Princess Marathon?

Great goal. I hope this gives you the focus that you're looking for.

OMG, I am addicted to those things! Thankfully the are almost gone and I can say no once again Be careful though, the sodium may cause you to retain water and reflect a huge gain like it did for me last week



Hi applemomma! I think your goal sounds fantastic. I actually started a modified version of the C25K about 6 months ago (by the time I found it I was already about 2 months into running). I am not an athlete, nor do I pretend to be one, but I am extremely proud to say that I will be running my first 5K this weekend! Now I know for a fact that if I can do it anyone can I may end up walking at the end if I need to but I'm going to try really hard to finish it running.

So good luck and I really think you can do it. My advice is to research, research, and research before you start. Things like shoes, clothes, etc really have an impact on your running and you can get injured before you know it! I really should have researched the shoes b/c I really messed up my feet.

Not much going on over here. Getting my water in, got Zumba again tonight.

Have a great day everyone!

Nicole

Good luck with your race this weekend

I'm headed to the gym!!! Woo who! Hopefully, I can get in a good 1/2 hour on the treadmill and then some weights. I hope everyone is having a good day!

Good for you, I hope you had a great workout.

If the real contestants can have a last chance workout before a weigh-in then so can I.

Did my 60 minutes (not the 90 minutes on the DVD) of P90X Yoga and Balance routine and then 4 miles in 60 minutes on the treadmill. Hope I can be under 270 pounds this evening at WW weigh-in. I will let you know.

Dave

Chris call that workout Stupid Yoga He's got plyometrics tonight

 

[poochie]

Disney character would be Dory. Totally me - short term memory, heart is in the right place. Not too bright and no memory skills what so ever.

Also with all this water we are drinking, does anyone else have to keep getting up in the night for the nightly visits.

Welcome to Healthy Habits!

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 Works: Each week there will be 3 Healthy Habits (HH) to complete. The first two HHs will always be drinking water and exercising. (Note: The amount and time will increase throughout the challenge!) At the end of each week, you will tally up the number of points you earned for the week and send me a private message with your total. Here’s an example. For Week 1, the 3 HHs are drink Six 8 oz. glasses of water a day, exercise a minimum of 20 minutes per day, and eat at least 3 servings of vegetables a day. If on 4 days you get in all 3 HHs, you would report your points like this:

4/6 days of drinking water
4/6 days of exercising
4/6 days of eating veggies

Your total points (ex: 12/18) AND your team name should be in the subject of your PM.

This is a team competition. On/about Tuesday evening, I will post the week’s results. I will share the number of participants on each team and the top scorers on each team. New for BL 11: I will also list the people who earned 7/7 on one or more of the HHs for the week. If you participated on the team with the most participants, you will be entered into a drawing for the week's prize. Each prize will have something to do with the 3rd Healthy Habit for the week. I will post the winner and ask that you PM me your contact information. (Please Note: If you do not wish to be entered into the drawing, please let me know in your PM. I understand people’s WISHes for privacy.)

Participation in Healthy Habits is entirely optional, but I encourage you to participate and help your team be on top for the week. Good luck on your journey and I hope that HHs helps you as much as it continues to help me!

Welcome to Health Habits Week 5

Week 5 is 1/28-2/3

This week's 3 Healthy Habits are:
1) Drink Seven 8 oz. glasses of water.
2) Exercise a minimum of 25 minutes a day.
3) Eat 2 servings of protein per day.

At the end of the week, please PM me your points. I will post the results on/about Tuesday. Don't forget, this is a team competition!

Remember, every participant count, regardless of the number of points you earn!

If you have any questions, please free to ask!

1/28/11 Friday QOTD 2 part
Part 1 -What are your top 3 movies? Any that made you laugh, cry or think?
Part 2 -Do you have a favorite exercise DVD?





My top three are:
Steel Magnolia's -Makes me laugh, cry and think
When Harry Met Sally -makes me laugh
Die Hard - just love saying the lines after watching it so many times. Yippe ki yay %#@! "Let's see you take this under advisement, jerkweed" Best lines ever!

Favorite exercise DVD - Turbo Jam

 

[poochie]

This week we are targeting protein. What is everyone favorite protein sources, and how will you apply to this weeks challenge?

 

[kinntj]

This week we are targeting protein. What is everyone favorite protein sources, and how will you apply to this weeks challenge?

I love meat, so protein is usually not a problem. It's a lean protein or non red meat I need to change. I hope to get in more salmon, tuna, turkey and chicken in my diet this week.

 

[Merryweather27]

So the computers at my work did not want to cooperate and let me log in today (I think they have a cookie blocker or something), so I just copied/pasted the stuff I wanted to respond to and will try to post it now.

Tracey – You can create your own workouts in EASA2? I think I'm going to end up buying that game sometime in the near future. Sounds like you guys are just getting buried with the snow! Hope the storms come a little further and fewer between soon!

jking6 - I gotta agree with Deb. I only have the Wii Sports, not the Wii Fit, but it has a similar fitness test thingy with an "age" result, and my results are all over the map. I have been 16, I have been 74, and everything in between. So, I don't put much (any) stock into it.

Vicki - Good luck; hope you get the job! I am also working in a job that I love which is unfortunately kinda dead-end, but have not at all been motivated to try to find another.

This summer I managed to be able to do something that I said at the time was on my "bucket list" which inspired me to try and do other things on that list. One of them is the "Not Since Moses Run" http://www.notsincemoses.com/index.html

Wow, that looks like so much fun! I'm not a runner either (not at ALL), but that would be awesome. Hope it gives you the motivation you're looking for to have that as a goal!

-------

Thursday QOTD: What Disney character are you?

Well, you can probably guess from my username and avatar that I am Merryweather. Short, round, fiesty, love blue, not big on pink, and fiercely loyal in protecting my friends.

I had a great NSV today directly related to one of the questions from this week (I think Monday's?). I went to the thrift store last night and picked up a $4 pair of pants in each of my next two sizes down -- a 16 and a 14. Well, I tossed them in the laundry last night, then tried the 16 on this morning just to see, and it already fits! I'm in total surprised-but-happy shock!

Going to Ruth's Chris for dinner tonight - the local business district is having a "Restaurant Week" where a bunch of fancy places have temporary $25 prix fixe menus. I've eaten lighter today and planned on enjoying a bit of a splurge, but I just went to SparkPeople and entered what I'm planning to get, and it's actually pretty reasonable, calorie-wise, all things considered.

Evening!

Today was a binge-free day! I still have no idea what the scale will say in the morning, but I'm hoping for at least a maintain. My plan for the weekend is to write down everything I eat and then count points beginning Monday. I will not be eating foods I did not prepare from tomorrow's dinner until Sunday's lunch, so counting points will be difficult. I will make conscious choices whenever there are choices.

Hope everyone has a great day tomorrow! for weigh-in.

CC

This week we are targeting protein. What is everyone favorite protein sources, and how will you apply to this weeks challenge?

I have an addiction to chicken. I can eat it prepared a million different ways. Some of my favorites are stir fry, in tacos (hard shells only), chicken pot pie, and chicken with fruit-like orange chicken. I like it grilled either with a little bit of BBQ or teriyake sauce. I can find a way to turn chicken breasts into a meal 14 meals a week, but alas, my parents have a different opinion.

I also like ground turkey. It's also good for tacos. I will use ground turky for burgers. Veggie burgers are good, but I think they are high in sodium.

And, of course, eggs.

 

[Rose&Mike]

I have been so stressed this week and for me stress=eating. I went for a job interview last week for a newly opened office as a Medical Assistant. I am currently working as an MA in an office that I love, but there is no room for me to move up the ladder. This interview was for a newly opened office with a lot of room to grow and learn. I have an inside hook there also, my friend is the PA and gave me a glowing recommendation. I was the only interviewee who actually made it to the second interview and met the doctors. It's been a week and I'm eating non stop, I just have this feeling that it's not good. They told my friend that they loved me but have to go over the new offices finances to make sure that they can take me on. Why didn't they think of that first? UGH. I hope this all works out my waistline can't take it anymore.

I hope you hear soon! Stress eating is the pits! I try to up my exercise a little bit when I am feeling overly stressed.

I want to be like Goofy...
He is always joyful
He doesn't let bad things affect his spirit
He is fun to be around
He may be "goofy" but he has a heart of gold.

I am trying.

Dave

If the real contestants can have a last chance workout before a weigh-in then so can I.

Did my 60 minutes (not the 90 minutes on the DVD) of P90X Yoga and Balance routine and then 4 miles in 60 minutes on the treadmill. Hope I can be under 270 pounds this evening at WW weigh-in. I will let you know.

Dave

Hope it goes well at WW!

We made the best pizza tonight. Thin crust Mama Mary's crust, hummus for the sauce, sliced onions and peppers, chopped fresh broccoli, topped with monterey jack cheese. It was so amazingly delicious. I really wasn't sure how much flavor it would have, but it was loaded with flavor!

 

[Holly324]

Good evening all! To answer a couple of questions of the day -

I would put myself as a cross between Mrs. Incredible and Dory...is that possible???? I dearly love my children and find myself stretched in about a million directions. My husband is pretty incredible, too!! However, I am forgetful and pretty spacey more often than I would care to admit!

Favorite movies.... that is such a tough one for me! My favorites include Sleepless in Seattle, The Music Man, and the Proposal. I don't really have a fave DVD to workout to now that I have the Wii Fit. I love it! I actually did 35 minutes of Biggest Loser Challenge, and over an hour and a half of a variety of wii fit plus activities just today. My kids love to do it with me, so that makes it go pretty fast.

Hope everyone is gearing up for a relaxing, fun, ON PLAN weekend!

 

[Applemomma]

You can do it! Thanks for sharing with us. have you looked into C25K or at Galloway's plan--run/walk intervals?

I have Jeff Galloway's site bookmarked and reading it through...right now I'm concentrating on the walking as he says that's the first step and right now it's just too icy to run safely here. Thanks for the encouragement!

 

[my3princes]

Disney character would be Dory. Totally me - short term memory, heart is in the right place. Not too bright and no memory skills what so ever.

Also with all this water we are drinking, does anyone else have to keep getting up in the night for the nightly visits.

There's been lots of discussions about losing sleep over potty breaks. You are not alone.

1/28/11 Friday QOTD 2 part
Part 1 -What are your top 3 movies? Any that made you laugh, cry or think?

Dirty Dancing
My Cousin Vinny
Pirates of the Caribbean series

I do not have a favorite workout DVD. Chris loves the P90X series except for stupid yoga

This week we are targeting protein. What is everyone favorite protein sources, and how will you apply to this weeks challenge?

Chicken, ham, steak, pork, meat in generals. Hard boiled eggs, peanut butter. Chris likes fish and protein shakes and bars too.

beef!!

 

[SurferStitch16]

This week we are targeting protein. What is everyone favorite protein sources, and how will you apply to this weeks challenge?

An egg white wrap, BEEF (as ScubaD said) and chocolate milk is my new favorite way to get protein!! I drink a glass after I workout and I have found it really helps on my muscle recovery. I make it with SkimPlus(which is super super creamy) and Walden Farms Chocolate Syrup(ZERO CALORIES!!!!!). So it is only 110 calories a glass of pure delicousness!!

[Merryweather27]

1/28/11 Friday QOTD 2 part
Part 1 -What are your top 3 movies? Any that made you laugh, cry or think?
Part 2 -Do you have a favorite exercise DVD?

My 3 favorite movies are 1) Serenity, 2) Return of the King, and 3) The Matrix. Yes, yes, I am a geek.

I do enjoy movies that make me think -- stuff like Schindler's List, A Clockwork Orange, Brokeback Mountain, etc. But they usually don't end up my favorites...too hard to watch multiple times, which is what I tend to do with my faves. I sobbed like a little baby while watching Up! -- DH and I are childless, and I guess I over-identified with Carl and Ellie.

I don't have any exercise DVDs. The last time I worked out to a video was in high school gym, so it was a VHS - some sort of MTV dance workout routine.

Die Hard - just love saying the lines after watching it so many times. Yippe ki yay %#@! "Let's see you take this under advisement, jerkweed" Best lines ever!

"Nine million terrorists in the world and I gotta kill one with feet smaller than my sister's."

This week we are targeting protein. What is everyone favorite protein sources, and how will you apply to this weeks challenge?

My favorite protein source is probably chicken. But for this week's challenge, I will probably focus on dairy. For some reason, starting with week 2 of this challenge, I have set myself a sub-goal of sticking with every healthy habit introduced as much as I can, even after they've been swapped out for something else. So next week I will still be trying to track food every day, get 3 servings of fruit or veggies, and 2 servings of dairy in addition to the official HHs for the week.

Evening!

Today was a binge-free day! I still have no idea what the scale will say in the morning, but I'm hoping for at least a maintain. My plan for the weekend is to write down everything I eat and then count points beginning Monday.

I have an addiction to chicken. I can eat it prepared a million different ways. Some of my favorites are stir fry, in tacos (hard shells only), chicken pot pie, and chicken with fruit-like orange chicken. I like it grilled either with a little bit of BBQ or teriyake sauce. I can find a way to turn chicken breasts into a meal 14 meals a week, but alas, my parents have a different opinion.

Congrats on today's success and good luck with your new plan!

I am with you on your chicken addiction - it's almost the only meat we eat around here. I bought a 5-lb pack of ground beef at Costco so long ago that I can't even remember, and discovered it in the freezer the other day, with half still left, with a best-by date of Dec. 2009! Your chicken preparation suggestions sound delicious! We usually do fajitas, chicken-broccoli-rice casserole, stir-fry, baked chicken breaded with Italian breadcrumbs...I know there are more, but that's what I can think of off the top of my head.

We made the best pizza tonight. Thin crust Mama Mary's crust, hummus for the sauce, sliced onions and peppers, chopped fresh broccoli, topped with monterey jack cheese. It was so amazingly delicious. I really wasn't sure how much flavor it would have, but it was loaded with flavor!

That sounds delicious! I never would have thought of using hummus in place of pizza sauce, but I might just have to give that a try!

Good evening all! To answer a couple of questions of the day -

I would put myself as a cross between Mrs. Incredible and Dory...is that possible???? I dearly love my children and find myself stretched in about a million directions. My husband is pretty incredible, too!! However, I am forgetful and pretty spacey more often than I would care to admit!

I would say that it is definitely possible! I can identify with that combination, too.

...chocolate milk is my new favorite way to get protein!! I drink a glass after I workout and I have found it really helps on my muscle recovery. I make it with SkimPlus(which is super super creamy) and Walden Farms Chocolate Syrup(ZERO CALORIES!!!!!). So it is only 110 calories a glass of pure delicousness!!

Mmm...chocolate milk...

I was just about to go get a glass of skim milk to get my last serving of dairy in for the day. I might have to stir in a couple spoonfuls of chocolate syrup now!

 

[tigger813]

QOTD: Favorite movie: 1)Return of the King-2) Love Actually 3)Half Blood Prince

Toy Story 3 makes me cry every time I watch it!

Favorite Exercise DVD: Tie between the new BL Power Walk and Leslie Sansone 3 mile Pilates Walk. If I have any time today I will do that workout!

Got up and did 2 miles on the elliptical and watched Off the Map! Pretty good show. Predictable but I like it. Gotta see why Ash isn't up yet. She was going to set her alarm so we could go to the wellness center this morning for breakfast. They have a special Valentine shake that tastes like a chocolate covered strawberry. Can't wait to try it!

Heading to work. I think I have a 1pm client today. Then come home and once the kids are home and given a snack we will head over to Izzie's school to set up for WInterfest. I printed out my labels for the basket raffle. I need to grab some more money so I can purchase said raffle tickets. I think Ash was going to buy her own tickets as well. She really wants that Star Wars basket.

Better go so we can get to the WC and I can make her lunch!

TTFN

Good luck with weigh in and please don't forget TEAM name in the TITLE of your message!
