    No one is kicking you off our team. ( Green ) We can use all the help we can get.

    Great news you are down. I will wait a few days to weigh in still hoping I
    go down a bit more.

    By the way, I have been consuming the Green Monsters for some time. Spinach,
    Blueberries, banana, whey powder, Silk Vanilla Light Soy milk. That's the way
    I get my spinach in too. I love the taste.

    Okay Green Team only a few weeks left to get our butts in gear.

    Good Luck to all !!
  • Looks like the green team isn't going to have to kick me off after all....at least this week:)
    I'm down four pounds...two of that is probably just water that bumped me up last week...but I swear I will take is where I can get it!!

    Corn Roast on Saturday night, no big deal.
    I can pick and choose.

    There is a Peach Festival in Town on Saturday during the day.
    I will do some walking although I am experiencing some pain
    in the top of my leg, I think I pulled a muscle. I will try and walk
    tonight if I can.

    I will be at the boat this weekend so I will not be logging in.

    My weight is back down again I was hoping to log in tomorrow for
    the weight but no can do.

    I will try hard to drink my water and walk as much as I am able.

    Not exercising today but I do have a lot to do before I leave today.

    Soooo, I guess I will give my weight my Monday as best as I can.
    Sorry, team I am usually not home on the weekends to try and be
    disciplined. We shall see what Monday brings.

    Keep up the hard work, do your best !!!!

    My weight was a little down this morning so I'm cautiously optimistic this plateau is over. Is it boring for me to recommend active.com? I love it. I liked it on Facebook and I get awesome articles on my home page. The other is coolrunning.com. It's a great resource if you ever want to take up running.

    good job!!!

    Two sites I like are

    www.hungry-girl.com

    www.self.com

    I am thankful for so many things and it's always great to stop and recognize them!!

    Thanks for the challenge

    Sweeping the garage today. Normally that wouldn't count as a work out, but thanks to the herniated disk, it will be the most physical I've been in 2 weeks. Taking it slow, though so I don't overdo.

    Great job everyone! Keep up the good work!

    GO TEAM TEAL!!!!

    187! Plateau busted! I"m not sure if it was what I did this week or if my body was just self correcting and finally ready to let me lose weight again. I'll take it. It makes my 9 lb goal seem a little more attainable. Maybe. What do we have? 3 weeks? 1.3 lb per week. I'm really just hoping I don't just go into another plateau.

    How is the green team doing? Good I hope.

    I think I did well on the weekend as far
    as food goes. I did have my peach ice cream at the
    Peach Festival. Alcohol consumption was really good.
    Drank alot of water on Saturday.
    Did a 40 min. walk in the morning, and 60 mins in the
    afternoon walking the Peach Fesitval.
    Danced all night at the Corn Roast, awesome band.
    So we will see what Monday brings. ; )

    8/15: 272.8 Hoping to be at or below 270 next week! This morning I woke up and had a dream about reaching 260. It seemed so surreal, but then something hit me and it was the coolest feeling ever...it can be reality. And 260 is so ridiculously close to the 250s! It was a bit overwhelming. I'm going to try and hold on to that feeling to keep me going. So though I've been sick this weekend and am home sick today from work, I'm really looking forward to another loss next week! YES!

  • Okay...I waited as long as I could. I lost 2 lbs by this past Friday...not sure what happened, gained 1 lb of that back :grumble: So for this week, the scale said 221.1 :ohwell: I'm looking for a bigger number next week...the only reason why is because this week is going to be harsh for me...I have to clean 2 apartments for my landlord, and each apartment takes almost 9 hours each...AND I am working 5 nights this week too...((midnights)) so if when I'm not working, I'm sleeping...and when I'm not sleeping I'm cleaning these apartments. I am walking also at work on my lunch breaks now, and after work in the mornings I run to the park and get in about 3 miles. ((helps me sleep))
