I apologize for the late update (4th of July shenanigans!), so I'll make this quick.

Winners of the Biggest Loser of their respective teams are...

BethanieK of the Green Team, with 3.2 lbs lost!
Mzmonica of the Orange Team, with 6.4, that was the biggest of all the teams this week!
And Harrar10 brought in the biggest loss for the Purple Team with 3 lbs!

This week has been a lot of trying to find replacements for folks, since unfortunately some people have had to leave due to responsibilities outside of MFP, which is completely understandable.

We're almost a full team again, but keep in mind, we beat DITR shy of a full team, you guys are doing great! Keep up the good work, and remember the QOTD go here!

So, which team won the weigh-in?

Orange Team pulled the win this time, with 10.4 lbs!
Purple was close with a 9.9 lbs lost, and Green scored 8.8!

Have a lovely week, ladies, work hard!

    QOTD for Monday July 4th

    Since it was the 4th of July here in the states, my question is "what is your favorite summertime holiday tradition?"


    mine, crazy as it seems has become walking the July 4th parade with our high school marching band. my husband and I are part of the "water crew" that keeps the kids hydrated through the parade. It's lots of fun and a great opportunity to spend time as a family (and sneak in some exercise too!). My daughter is now a senior, so this was our last one too!

    This is not our QOTD, but if you guys are down for answering 2 questions today go for it. We had no one assigned for July 4th, photorific has QOTD today.

    QOTD - A 2-parter for July 5:


    What's the one food (or meal) you keep on hand at all times for a quick, easy and healthy meal during those times when you'd normally be tempted to eat out?

    Conversely, what's the one food that is no longer allowed in your house, because it elicits overindulgence?

    For me - the one meal I always have items for in my house is Chicken Caesar Salad. I pre-cook chicken breast tenderloins at the beginning of the week for use throughout, and always have romaine and Caesar Dressing.

    And, the one thing that I cannot bring into the house is bread. Not sandwich bread - I can easily ignore that - but fresh bakery bread... French baguettes, and especially good sourdough. I've got -0- self control when it comes to those.

    I have 2 favorite quick meals lately. Both of them come from the Insanity meal guide. One is their Protein Pizza (whole wheat sandwich thin, tomato sauce, grilled chicken, and mozzarella, with steamed broccoli on the side). The other is the Pasta and Feta Bowl (whole wheat pasta, feta, mixed veggies, and grilled chicken).

    The one thing I can't allow in the house anymore would have to be ice cream. I used to put down a half gallon in 2 days by myself! :sick: :embarassed:
    I will occasionally buy some sherbet though.

    I try to keep walnuts and peanuts around.
    As for the second part...
    There are no cakes, cupcakes or doughnuts allowed in the house!

    .

    I really don't have one. I hate summer and try to stay inside most of the time. I might go to my parents pool more often. If I had the money I would go somewhere cooler for the 4th!

    CONGRATS to Orange team - and shout to my girls on the purple team! We'll get 'em next week! Didn't lose or gain last week and ready to knock it out of the park again this week.

    My favorite summertime tradition is visiting with family on the lake. Either the Finger Lakes or Random Lake in Wisconsin. I love the relaxation and patriotism in the small towns near the lakes. At the end of my mini-vacations to these peaceful pieces of paradise, I never want to leave! Had a great 4th this year with my aunt and uncle on the Finger Lakes. Going for another weekend getaway in a few weeks! Can't wait to swim, kayak and ski in the lake again.

    I'd have to say salad! every week I take 2 heads of lettuce and chop them up and separate them into containers of 1 cup in each. I eat them for lunch and dinner. It usually makes about 12 salads which will last me about 6 days.

    A tradition I have been doing with family as young as prob a year old till I was 20 has been going to the lake and camping out on 4th of July weekend and boating/jet skiing.. I def miss it! :(

    Almost anything that is Mexican or Chinese in the lean cuisine frozen foods :)

    Nothing.. my husband can eat what he wants and not gain a thing.. but I just try to limit or not consume any of the things he gets that are unhealthy! :)

    Food kept on hand: I don't really have anything that can distract me from eating out...but I do try to keep salad stuff in the house to help control my portions...fill up on salad before the yummy stuff theory :-)

    Foods not aloud in the house: Zomg I am a cookie/cake/pastry fiend!!! I have ZERO self control with stuff like that...portion or otherwise!! "what do you mean a sleeve of thin mint is more than one serving?!?!?" Ya...its THAT bad... :blushing:

    One food I always have on hand now is the egg whites in a carton. I can make a scramble in the morning really quick before heading out. It will keep me full for a while, and it is super low in calories! I'm not a lettuce snob (like someone I know ;) ) So I just grab the prepackaged salads by Fresh Express. Their strawberry salad and pear salad are amazing, it's like dessert!

    There can be absolutely no cake or doughnuts in the house, I would surely overindulge.

    It's not really a meal, but several small things I always keep on hand. Oatmeal, greek yogurt and fruit are my go-to's. Anything sweet and chocolaty is banned. We buy it only when it is a planned treat. A hundred pounds ago I would sit down and eat an ENTIRE bag of Peanut M&M's, the huge family sized bag!!!

    Go Orange!! Yee-Haw!

    No summer traditions. I hibernate in the summer. I’m more active in Winter.

    Great questions photorific!

    What's the one food (or meal) you keep on hand at all times for a quick, easy and healthy meal during those times when you'd normally be tempted to eat out?

    I'm a creature of habit and could eat the same things over and over. In my desk at work, oatmeal (Quaker True Delights Wild Blueberry) and Progresso soups. At home = rice, a variety of simple protein (chicken, fish, shrimp, pork chops, and steak), lovely read leaf lettuce and Costco cherry tomatoes. Another must have is homemade salad dressing.

    For my athletic teenager, I rotate a stash of junk food and we indulge his sweet tooth while we’re out instead of bringing treats home. The only reason I mention this is because it’s just as important for me keep his foods on hand so I can focus on my own.

    Conversely, what's the one food that is no longer allowed in your house, because it elicits overindulgence?

    I have a salty, greasy tooth so I don’t buy chips, sausage, or good thick-cut bacon because I’d fry it and eat it as it came out of the pan. If I want them, I eat them at a restaurant.

    Food i always have is bchicken breast as they're so versatile and also frozen mixed peppers that i can throw in dishes to bulk up the veg content.

    There is nothing i would actively ban but I only buy biscuits that I don't like for my husband and kids so that i am not tempted to eat them :)

    As for the 4th July - I'm Scottish so it doesn't really apply, but hot weather definitely makes me think BEER and I need to avoid that ;)

    Today's QOTD was supposed to be by reneepugh, but she's probably in wedding heaven so this is a free day! I will post a question, but you don't have to answer it as required by the others.

    Freebie: What's your weirdest habit?

    I swear I have a bit of an OCD problem, cause I have a lot of quirky little habits. My kids probably think the funniest habit is counting stairs. I count stairs every time I go up or down....LOL. They think it's hilarious.

    Freebie: What's your weirdest habit?
    My lovely husband would likely say "All of them..."

    Hmm - I had to think for a bit about this... but honestly, it's one that nobody can ever pick up on... when I'm in a car, I tend to tap my toes at every pass of a reflector on the side of the road - or in the dead-center of a driveway if we're in a residential area. And, I only tap my toes on the foot that is on the same side that the reflector or driveway is on. I know, right? :laugh:

    Oh - and I also have the TV volume in 5's - I won't set it to 27 - it has to be 25 or 30...

    Playing a little catch up here
    QOTD - A 2-parter for July 5:


    What's the one food (or meal) you keep on hand at all times for a quick, easy and healthy meal during those times when you'd normally be tempted to eat out?

    Conversely, what's the one food that is no longer allowed in your house, because it elicits overindulgence?

    I like to have granola bars on hand, they don't feel me up but they keep me from doing something stupid at times.

    The food we can't have in our house anymore is soda, I am addicted and if its in the house I will drink it!

    For the weird habit, its probably not letting any of my food touch. I know it all ends up together but I hate it touching on my plate. My coworkers bought me a divided plate for potlucks cuz they think its so funny.

    Freebie: What's your weirdest habit?

    One of my weidest habits is going back and checking that I locked the front door at least 3 times. I even make my husband go back to check even if we are 2 miles away! My husband hates it! And I hate it but if I don't do it I worry until I get home. And it's not just my house it's any door that I have to lock. Office door, my parents house any door.
    I know OCD!
