TEAM MICKEY--Biggest Loser 11 Spring Team Challenge!

[Princess Nancy]

Good morning everyone,

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.

We had plans to go to Benihana tonight, but my youngest is home with a high fever so we will be putting that on hold. Not much to do today other then to keep him comfy and relax.

Hope everyone has a great day.

Kristi

Happy 40th Birthday Kristi!


I turn 45 in March and am doing well. I am happy to have lost 15 but would like it to be 20 by my bday!!

Hope your daughter feels better soon!

Oh yea! I definitely need a massage, Tracy can you come over? maybe that should be the prize each week, Tracy goes to your home to massage you! lol!

Have a great week everyone!
Looks like March is coming in like a Lion, so hopefully that means out like a lamb and we'll see some warmer calmer weather...walking outside weather!

If I could wave my pixie-dust filled wand, I'd wish a massage for everyone on Team Mickey! All that talk about massages from tigger813 has me wishing for one, anyway.

Now that's a wish I'll share with you

QOTD Monday, 2/28: It is 5 AM and you are lying around trying to fall back to sleep. About what are you dreaming/WISHing?

I love to think about and plan what we will do on our next trip to
"My Happy Place" This keeps the day to day " To Do List" away.

Good morning everyone,
Well I turn the big 4-0 today and I am feeling great about it! Kristi

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Mine was yesterday and I turned 46.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you both


Have a great day Mickeys

Hello All,

Its been a stressful few weeks so I haven't had a chance to write in. First off, the important stuff,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! to all the birthdays the past few days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want to apologize to the team for the past two weeks I didn't lose any weight, I didn't gain any luckily, but I didn't lose any either. I've been feeling like I haven't been pulling my weight, , and I don't know why I am struggling with my weight loss. I joined a gym and started working out every day about three weeks ago. I know when you start to workout you are not expected to lose a lot of weight the first week or so, but this is my third week and this week all I lost was one pound!! So for the past three weeks of working out and eating healthy I only have 1 pound to show for it. I am starting to feel discouraged. I guess the hardest part for me is that I have always been active and healthy, in high school I was on state championship soccer team and a college scholar athlete, so for me to be having this difficulty is very hard. After college, I stopped working out regularly, it became too much with work, and that is when the weight came. Now I feel stuck at this weight and I am getting sad that it won't leave. The past few weeks with school, I am getting my veterinary nursing degree, and work have been very stressful so that hasn't helped with the lack of numbers I've been pulling at my weigh-in. Sorry for going on about this struggle to everyone. Thanks for listening!!
Hope everyone has a great Monday!! AND GO TEAM MICKEY AT THE WEIGH IN THIS WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Morning Team Mickey!

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. This whole issue has him stressed to the max right now. I basically told him "We're not going to do this back and forth thing. If his mom let's him come out now then great. We'll go get him. If not then he can wait til he's 18." She had this crazy thing of "Oh well you need to get to know him more. You and Kristina need to come out here and spend time with him". Um, they've been talking every day for 2 months. Oh, and we're over 300 miles away! I'm not wasting gas, energy, time, and money to drive out there every weekend to see him.

So, we're not going down there to get him at this time. However, my friend lives in San Antonio right now and I want to see her before she leaves with her husband when he gets new orders (Navy).

Goals for this week:

Lose 2 pounds
Gym x 2 (maybe 3)
Drink more water (been slacking the last few days)
Eat more fruit and veggies

Hi, everyone!

Well, this weekend was hectic and stressful thanks to a new personal health issue that I don't really want to get into (and would have you all saying "ew TMI" anyway). So, while trying to wrap my head around that, Saturday and Sunday were definitely off the wagon for me. But I am back on track today and plan to stay that way!

I have another "not-a-gain" gain this week, sorry guys. Last week it was the cast adding weight; this week it is the new scale I bought. Why do new scales always weigh you heavier than your old one? Anyway, I plan on taking these pounds off "again" asap!

QOTD Monday, 2/28: It is 5 AM and you are lying around trying to fall back to sleep. About what are you dreaming/WISHing?

My trying-to-fall-asleep happy place is basically a Corona commerical without the beer...DH and I lounging in chairs on a beach, watching the tide roll in. I imagine the sound of the waves instead of counting sheep.

 

[tigger813]

Princess Nancy- That would be quite a PRIZE as long as I get a massage in return! I was checking out the massages on the cruise and have already picked out the one I want. Saving my tips for that! Aroma Hot Stone! Good thing I've got 16 months!!!! And if my Herbalife business picks up I may get a facial too! I'll have my co-workers give me mani/pedis before we go!

Good on calories for today! Did the 4 mile WATP this afternoon and planning on the BL Power Walk after we finish watching Amazing Race from last night or I'll do it after the girls go to bed.

Work tomorrow along with picking up a few things at the store, ATM, Ash's concert and hopefully a couple workouts!

Weigh ins close in 23 minutes and Mickey is in the lead by about 2 pounds!!!!

Evening Everyone!

Another horrible day, but I need to forget about it and hope for a better day tomorrow. Not sure what else to do about the bingeing, but I'll keep thinking.

Some replies and then the QOTD for tomorrow in the next post...

Tracey: Your busy days I WISH I had your energy!

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

It's almost 7:30 right now. so we would probably be getting the kids ready for the day. We would be eating breakfast, we are DVC members and having that kitchen in the morning is really nice. We may already be chasing the kids around trying to put sunblock on. We try to get to the parks before rope drop.

QOTD Sun. 2/27: I'm big into planning. What is one thing you can do today to make Monday a great day?

Um . . . I'm a little too late for this one, it being Monday already and all.

QOTD Monday, 2/28: It is 5 AM and you are lying around trying to fall back to sleep. About what are you dreaming/WISHing?

It's 5am and it's time to get up and get ready to go for the day. If I did have the luxury of sleeping in, I would be dreaming about our next trip to Disney World.

I'm all about rope drop too. I love the opening ceremony at the MK too.

I didn't realize so many people were up at 5 AM, but I do love a good dream about WDW!

Kristi

and for 50 lbs lost!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

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

to you too! I have a feeling you'll reach your goal!

QOTD: I love to get up early and stroll in through the IG, just enjoying the quiet music and empty streets before the WS opens. Maybe sit with a cup of coffee in the English Garden....

Sounds so relaxing!

More in the next post...

 

[cclovesdis]

Sorry all, I had a gain this week. Back to reality this week now! My husband and I are setting a huge goal for weight loss before we leave for disney in just over 9 weeks. That should help get my hind end back into gear. Been crazy around here. Won't be able to post much for awhile, but I am still trying!!!! Go team mickey!!

for reaching your goal! Enjoy your trip!

Funny, it was 1:30 am when I was woken up this morning by my dog freaking out over the wind/ thunderstorm. By the time I got her to settle down I didn't think I'd be able to sleep. For me I imagine the details of my next WDW trip or think of what I need to do the next day.

Never too early to plan for your next trip!

I turn 45 in March and am doing well. I am happy to have lost 15 but would like it to be 20 by my bday!!

Hope your daughter feels better soon!

Oh yea! I definitely need a massage, Tracy can you come over? maybe that should be the prize each week, Tracy goes to your home to massage you! lol!

Have a great week everyone!
Looks like March is coming in like a Lion, so hopefully that means out like a lamb and we'll see some warmer calmer weather...walking outside weather!

Nancy

The weather

15 pounds is awesome!

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

I love to think about and plan what we will do on our next trip to
"My Happy Place" This keeps the day to day " To Do List" away.

It really does! I love "My Happy Place" too!

SurferStitch16: Please don't worry about anything. We are here to get healthy and you are doing that! 1 pound is great! And, my guess is that you lost an inch or 2!

Goals for this week:

Lose 2 pounds
Gym x 2 (maybe 3)
Drink more water (been slacking the last few days)
Eat more fruit and veggies

Great goals!

Sorry to hear about Alan's son.

My trying-to-fall-asleep happy place is basically a Corona commerical without the beer...DH and I lounging in chairs on a beach, watching the tide roll in. I imagine the sound of the waves instead of counting sheep.

Beautiful!

Uh, that would be my fault. I need to get the bingeing under control. Sorry everyone.

[my3princes]

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

Can you tell I'm a planner?

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

 

[Princess Nancy]

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

 

[poochie]

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

Can you tell I'm a planner?

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.

 

[aamomma]

Why do new scales always weigh you heavier than your old one? Anyway, I plan on taking these pounds off "again" asap!

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

 

[tea pot]

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

 

[tigger813]

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!

Tomorrow I will get up early and workout and then do some errands while Izzie is at school. She has a dentist appt at 2 so we will also do some grocery shopping after that. Then she has dancing at 4 and then there is a fundraiser for her school at a local book store and I just saw that my favorite author is releasing a new book today! I love Maeve Binchy! I've read all of her books at least once! I'll pay the full price since it's for the school! So excited to have a new book to read!

Off to fold some sheets. Boss is on the way in and then she has a client and then has to take one of her kids to the doctors and then I have a client at 12:30. Craziness abounds in my life!

I workout to keep my sanity!!!!!

TTFN

Oh yeah, and sometime today I have to work on the results! Donald won by .6 pounds! Can't get any closer than that! Good job everyone!

 

[dis-happy]

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!

 

[Flossbolna]

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!
