TEAM MICKEY--Biggest Loser 11 Spring Team Challenge!

[mommyof2Pirates]

sorry I was one of those princess who gained weight I was trying to hold myself accountable by still sending in my weight. Glad you decided to give the competition a break I feel bad that I have not contributed more to our team this challenge. I will try harder.

 

[Merryweather27]

Good morning, everyone! Hope your mornings have been great so far.

I have off tomorrow so I am hoping to get some more of my Disney trip in the album. I bought this WeRMemory keepers album that is 3 ring. It is 12x12 size but you choose between regular scrapbook pages or traditional photo album pages. There are also hybrid ones that are half & half. It makes it a lot easier to get it done when I only have to scrap part of it!

That hybrid idea sounds pretty cool! I usually make a Shutterfly album and it takes me forever...still working on our trip from last June at the moment.

Saturday we finally got the punching bag up in our exercise room and I did 10 minutes of beating the crap out of it.

... ...

Then depending on whether or not I got all my school junk done we are going to San Antonio for a weekend to see a friend that I've tried on 3 seperate occasions to see in the past month or so and life kept getting in the way.

Yeah, that boxing stuff can really get your heart rate going! Great cardio. Where did you get your punching bag? Hope life stays out of your way so you can see your friend this weekend!

Merryweather27- We have a family at church that we have become good friends with. They are also huge Dr. Who and Torchwood fans. We have had get togethers just to watch Dr. Who. They came over the day after Christmas to watch the Christmas Carol episode! We can't wait for July 1st to watch Torchwood! We will probably get together weekly for that! I didn't get to watch all of The Children of Earth today! I watched the first disc. I'll probably watch disc 2 Wednesday morning!

LOL, we actually had an argument at our family Christmas over whether we could put on Dr. Who! My two aunts and DH and I are fans, but it was my grandfather's TV so he had veto power . So we watched it on DVR at home later.

I just wanted to say you are one busy woman and I get tired sometimes just reading everything you do in a given day.

QFT. (quoted for truth) Tracey's days seem jam-packed compared to my own, and I'm always wiped at the end of mine! :rotfl

Evening!

Yet another not OP day. I had such a good weekend too.

Hoping for a better day tomorrow.

to all those who need one.

CC

Here's a for you too! Hope today is a better day for you!

I'm sending this message to both teams!

I am having a dilemma regarding weigh ins this week. Our numbers are down considerably this week and several have asked to be exempt which is perfectly acceptable. Some who have had bad weeks have still chosen to send me their weigh ins as well. I appreciate their efforts. That is their choice. I am not questioning anyone but I really don't want to declare a winning team this week. Several just got back from vacation or are recovering from the Princess.

Does everyone understand where I'm coming from? I know there is no "prize" but I'm all about fairness.

Instead of a winning team, I will just recognize the top 10 on each team and recognize the top person for each team.

Besides, we'll be merging in just a couple more weeks, at which point we will always be on the "winning" team!

Mother nature can make things look so beautiful even when they are devastating. All of the trees here are caked with ice. The trees look like they are made of crystal and are so beautiful. At the same time those trees are damaged. ... ... White birches are already bent so the tops are touching the ground in a complete arc.

In other news I received a second interview time for Thursday morning Praying that this or another opportunity works out soon.

WOW - I can't imagine a storm that would bend even a small tree that much! Hope your power stays up and running. Good luck on your interview Thursday!!!

I hope everyone is doing well. I am trying out a bunch of new g-f recipes this week, and so far so good! It's nice to be eating something besides Amy's bowls (even though I do love Amy's bowl.)

New recipes are such fun! Glad they are working out for you. The last new recipe I tried ended up feeding the dog instead of us!

Hi Team!
Trying not to be MIA here but have been busy with the cruise meets thread and tying up loose ends before we head to the airport this Thursday night.

Both my DS10 and DH are home sick with the stomach flu ...

The next Friday, March 18th, not only is my B-day, but we will be on Castaway Cay ... will send a PM to be excused for that weigh in as I won't have internet.

Marcy

Have fun on your trip! What a great way to spend your birthday! Hope your son and DH are feeling better asap!

I got up and did the 3 mile Pilates walk! I hope to do the 5 mile walk later today and then my 2 miles on the elliptical tonight. 10 miles just sounds doable today for some reason!

Going to post the week's superstars in a few! I've got it in front of me so I just need to type it in!!!!!

TTFN

Wow, 10 miles! You can do it!

Don't feel bad! You are far from the only person to send in a gain during this challenge! And honestly, I think post-half weight ought to be exempted. Just hang in there!

Have a great day, everyone!

Great Job nancy and Way to go to all our losers and maintainers and even our gainers who decided to still weigh in this week. I think this shows that through weight loss there will be ups and downs.

Nancy if I didnt say so before or on any other of the threads I read your blog and your race experience and weekend sounded great. I actually think you were not in my morning pic we took and I think I missed your after the race pic. I was in a post race pic but it was on the bench. I think by the time I got there everyone was too tired to stand up. Anyway I am so glad you joined us on here.

I have now been 28 hours on plan. I lost a lb since yesterday, and I already am feeling better. Now I just need to keep this motivation going. Im feeling good!

thanks for reading my blog! it's too bad we missed meeting each other. i guess that just means we'll have to meet up for another race!

keep up the motivation! and send some motivation vibes to me please!!

Congratulations to all the MICKEY superstars and especially to the biggest loser, dumbo buddy! What a great first week you had! Hope that you are feeling better soon, too!

Not too long before we are all together again on one thread!

thanks lisa! unfortunately i'm feeling more poo-ish than yesterday. the little guy has been oozing green boogies too so it looks like we are both in for a cold. wah. oh well. at least the sun was shining today and it kinda sorta felt like spring was on its way!

i too am looking forward to the threads merging so i can keep chatting with the people i met two weekends ago

% to goal for the week ending March

how do you calculate that? i'm not familiar with % to goal.

*******

as for me, i'm officially depressed right now. haven't slept in days (i'm a bad sleeper) and i'm feeling sick. i had an endocrinologist appointment today. last time i was there was in october. i have PCOS and insulin resistance so i have to go b/c i'm on metformin. anyway, i was super pumped to tell the doctor that i had done a half marathon. i even told him i'd like to do the full marathon. he told me that if i wanted to have more kids i should re-think the high weekly mileages that are necessary to train for a marathon. i already have fertility issues and only just recently got an actual period and running long distances would make the period go away for sure. he really made me feel like a porker too. i weighed in today at 140. i am 5'4". my BMI is 24 which puts me in the normal range but he basically said i need to drop 10 lbs to really be a good weight. ugh. nothing like being TOLD to lose weight to make you want to eat a pizza.

so, i don't know. the doc is a total old fart and i could take what he says with a grain of salt. but i just felt so...doomed...or something. he said i should never been eating more than 1200 calories, blah blah.

anyway, sorry for the sob story. i needed to get it out.

Im sorry you didnt get the greatest news from the doctor. I hate when you are so excited and proud of yourself and then people find a way to burst your bubble. You should be very proud of what you did and what you want to do. I would consider what he said about the marathon and maybe research it and talk with any other doctors you might have. If he is an older physician he may not be a believer in more up to date studies. Think about it years ago how many women were running in marathons?

Keep positive!!!!

 

[tigger813]

Here's an example: I want to lost 12.2 pounds during this challenge. As of last Friday I have lost 5.8 pounds. I take the 5.8 and divide it by 12.2 and then multiply by 100 to get the percentage. I am 47.5% to my goal!

You have a goal to lose 10 pounds. You have lost 3 so far. You have lost 30% of your goal weight.

I've done 8 miles so far today. I do plan on doing 2 more tonight while watching BL. Just had pancakes and bacon for supper.

Ashleigh isn't feeling all that great so she skipped dancing tonight. Hopefully she can go to school for her half day tomorrow. I want to get some more things done around here in the morning.

Brian and I are watching shows on the DVR right now. Finished The Celebrity Apprentice and now we're watching Harry's Law.

Had a good day today food wise and still drinking my water. I didn't eat much during the day at all. I had a shake for b'fast, half a protein bar before giving a massage, the other half after doing 5 miles, a handful of peppermint patty pieces and bacon and pancakes. More water to come tonight!

[Rose&Mike]

I love Amy's bowls! Last week I branched out and tried the cheese enchiladas. So yummy!

I love the cheese enchiladas! The tamales are really good, too. My favorite used to be the macaroni and cheese with tofu and veggies. But I can't have it anymore, which is making me a little sad today.

I'll do the % this afternoon when I get home from work.

Redwalker, Stinasmom and Rose&Mike are our maintainers once again this week!

Time to shower!

Next week I will be doing team competition again! We're all excited for the merge so we can catch up with old friends and make new ones!!!!

TTFN

Thanks Tracey! Congrats to the maintainers!

sorry I was one of those princess who gained weight I was trying to hold myself accountable by still sending in my weight. Glad you decided to give the competition a break I feel bad that I have not contributed more to our team this challenge. I will try harder.

Lindsay--don't feel bad at all. I turned mine in, and while I was in the maintain range, I was up. And I think Tracey counts that against the total for the team competition. I needed to hold myself accountable as well.

Congratulations to all the MICKEY superstars and especially to the biggest loser, dumbo buddy! What a great first week you had! Hope that you are feeling better soon, too!

Not too long before we are all together again on one thread!

Hi Lisa!

I have now been 28 hours on plan. I lost a lb since yesterday, and I already am feeling better. Now I just need to keep this motivation going. Im feeling good!

Woohoo Lindsay!

Oh that stinks. Could he have not said anything positive? This is why I HATE going to the doctor. No advice, but as someone who has dealt with infertility, miscarriage, failed adoptions, etc, I get it how difficult this all can be. And I get why you want to do the marathon. Chronic health stuff just gets old after a while. DS has a genetic disorder and the advice we always gave him growing up when things were just overwhelming him, was, have your pity party and then move on. I try to remember that as well. I think it's ok to feel cruddy about something, but then you have to move on. (You can revisit it later if you need to.) Anyhow, hang in there.

Have a great evening!

Well, you know the old adage, "Feed a cold, starve a fever." When you're sick your body needs the extra calories to boost the immune system. Just don't go nuts, LOL.

I have now been 28 hours on plan. I lost a lb since yesterday, and I already am feeling better. Now I just need to keep this motivation going. Im feeling good!

You can do it!

anyway, sorry for the sob story. i needed to get it out.

I agree with Lindsay; I would definitely seek some other sources of medical advice both on the marathoning and your weight range. Just based on the bolded part, he is way off-base to commonly accepted medical advice. The World Health Organization, along with most doctors, recommend NEVER going below 1200 calorie to avoid problems like the body going into starvation mode, increased risk of nutrient deficiencies, gallstones, and other problems. That's quite opposite advice from never going ABOVE 1200! Going lower once in a while to jumpstart things is probably ok, but not on any sort of sustained basis. I know it's harder to lose weight with PCOS, but that still seems like unhealthy and dangerous advice for him to be giving.

Ashleigh isn't feeling all that great so she skipped dancing tonight. Hopefully she can go to school for her half day tomorrow.

Hope she is feeling better in the morning!

 

[tigger813]

Hope I'm not letting anyone down but I'm taking the night off from the elliptical. I've down 8 miles of WATP today and the way my foot was feeling earlier it's probably a good idea to relax tonight. I will get up and do the 3, 4, or 5 mile workout in the morning and I'm home all morning so I can work out then too! I hope to have a good loss this week. I'm very focused this week as I want to reach my goal in the next 2 1/2 weeks.

Ash seems ok, just really tired. She wants to go to school in the morning so if she sleeps well she can go. No fever so that's good.

Drinking my water and watching BL. Girls are brushing their teeth and getting into bed so I need to tuck them in at the commercial break. I may watch the 2nd hour in bed so I can get in a good night's sleep tonight. Brian is finally off being on call so hopefully we will both sleep well. We're both on the Dis right now! We're OBSESSED!

It can be really frustrating when your doctor is like that. I went through some similar encounters with mine, I was really ready to find a new one. Mine told me (last year) I really needed to lose weight (before I started this). The way he said it upset me so much it ended up being over six months before I did anything. Then, my next appointment after losing 45 lbs, he didn't say a word to me about it. I was just about to end it when on a follow up appointment he congratulated me. I guess some of them are just kinda jerky.
I would get a 2nd opinion though. My husband went through 3 Endocrinologists before he was happy with one.

So I started watching the BL, 16 minutes in and my DH is snoring away, I'll be nice and wait for him to watch it with me. He's been sick and didn't get any sleep last night so I made him take a huge dose of Nyquil. I need to catch up on Big Love anyway, guess here's my chance.

He took the car today, so I didn't get to the gym, but it was 45 degrees here today! So I went out for a quick run earlier. Also got plenty of exercise when I ate my yogurt earlier just trying to keep it away from Boo. That cat is a yogurt fiend! I've said it before, but I think I might just have a spectacular week this week! I am down 2 lbs so far, I hope I can keep it up! I have my 2nd free session with my personal trainer tomorrow, hope it goes well!

 

[dsnyfan608]

Hi Everyone! I joined the team yesterday and am excited see other people's success though this support group. I would like to lose 60 lbs and am not afraid of hard work! I am open to any tips, tricks or encouragement.

 

[tigger813]

Welcome! Don't forget to send me your weigh in and goal with your team name. Are you going to send it all on Friday? So happy you are going to join us!

I'm so excited! I finally found the original WATP set on DVD for a reasonable price! I just ordered that and Kingdom Keepers IV from Amazon. I won't get it until the beginning of next month but it's something to look forward to.

I'll be picking up Tangled the day it comes out on DVD at the end of the month. I'm also excited to get Voyage of the Dawn Trader when it comes out. Brian is hoping to get Harry Potter through his website to review when it comes out. We're also looking forward to seeing Tron again! The kids loved it!

I think I'm going to head to bed now so I can get up and workout at 5. BL is over now. Glad I took the night off! I earned it!

TTFN

 

[dsnyfan608]

Thanks for the 'Welcome'!

I PM'd you my start weight, and I am part of Team Mickey. Please let me know if there is any other information you need.

What a challenging situation. I really hope you find that happy balance for your body. Good luck!

he really made me feel like a porker too. i weighed in today at 140. i am 5'4". my BMI is 24 which puts me in the normal range but he basically said i need to drop 10 lbs to really be a good weight. ugh. nothing like being TOLD to lose weight to make you want to eat a pizza.

WOW, I remember a conversation with a doctor (yes, a generation older than me) just like this about my weight. Here I was a fitness instructor but didn't match up on the charts. One size doesn't fit all. As long as we weren't talking obesity.

I wish you well! If you can run a half marathon, seems like you know yourself, can motivate yourself, and push yourself when you want.


Having another challenge to my maintenance diet... stomach flu.

Was down another couple pounds this morning...

UGH! DH and DS had it yesterday and are better today. I can't seem to move off the couch. Every muscle hurts!

Disney Cruise Line here I come! We sail Saturday!
(oh, I may have mentioned this... sorry.. )

Should feel much better by then.

Evening Team Mickey!

I hope **fingers crossed** these next 5 weeks don't screw up the progress I'm trying to make. I start my last class of my Bachelors degree. College is so freaking stressful and I'm hoping I don't go crazy and start scarfing down sugary stuff to keep me awake and able to do school work. However, 4 weeks after this class I will be Disney bound for my graduation celebration!

I didn't work out yesterday or today but have a training session in the morning. I'm looking over school stuff and plan to head to bed shortly so I can get up early and start the day on the right foot. These last 4 days have been kind of sluggish for me.
