Sexy in Six Challenge - PURPLE Team (CLOSED GROUP)

Hey ladies, i am getting ready to hit the gym for the first time in a week. The past week has been just horrible for me and I am trying to figure out exactly what the problem was. Let me throw a few things out there and see if anyone can relate.
1. Time - for one reason or 20 reasons, I literally felt like the clock was a full day ahead of where I wanted it to be. Anytime I thought of taking an hour to go to the gym, I had an anxiety attack b/c I was so overwhelmed w/everything.
2. Diet - I ate carb heavy this week and paid for it in the end. Friday and Saturday were the worst shaky, exhausted, hungry, and horrible feeling. I felt like I had no energy at all. My weeks are crazy anyway and Friday had topped off two days of 12+hours working + school + family, but I don't usually feel as wiped out as I did.
3. BC - I started a three month BC in Feb. For those of u unfamiliar, you only have a period 3 x a year. Sounds great right> I gained 20 + lbs the first three months on the pill pack. When I do have a period, I have THE WORST mood swings ever. Naturally, I am on a pretty even keel, but now I feel like a crazy person. Also, I am not losing or it feels very difficult to lose.
So that was my week last week as far as roadblocks. This week is looking much better time wise to make it to the gym and exercise and still accomplish all my other must do's in life. Any thoughts or ideas on how to combat these obstacles in the future would be greatly appreciated. On a side note, I have contacted my doctor about my BC concerns and they are supportive if I want to d/c the meds and see how I feel or switch to a different brand, it's my choice, I just need to make one

Hi Purple Team - I've been to London today and am now really busy with work - the holidays have come to an end
I think Purple team is doing well, especially on the encouragement front.
Have we got a Team Purple captain? I would have offered but realistically, from now on it is going to be hard for me to do this - I will only have a computer to log on to in the evenings. Or we could share it perhaps, if no one else feels they can do it and do a week each?
What do you think???
And with the weight not dropping off as we'd hoped (must be the water!), maybe all the other teams have the same problem....so maybe it's closer than we think - he he.... See you tomorrow x0 -
alright purple team!! i know we received last place but it doesn't look like we were that far behind. really pumped about the challenge....i can sooo do 50 crunches a day. i had accomplished that goal the last time i used mfp earlier this year. and i love to use the exercise ball with those (it does wonders with my back and it lets me get deeper and lower in my abs). good luck to everyone! and CONGRATS TO OUR BIGGEST LOSERS for this week!!! so proud and inspired to keep on keepin' on and lose this stinkin' weight once and for all!!!!
and i see our team is up for questions....can't wait for these....think of good ones I will try to think all this week for a good one when my turn's up
have a great week everyone!0 -

Hi
I volunteered for Team Captain but only cos nobody else seemed to be offering - I dont mind doing it but as you say we could share it if anyone else wants to get involved please feel free!!
But on another note - lets not be last this week again ...... lets be the biggest loser in weight loss!!!
As I said on another thread 50 crunches are going to be hard but lets DO IT! & LOG IT! - we will see the difference -
Good Luck to all team members this week!!

Just checking in to see how everyone is doing this week. Its been a long week. And one more day to go get moving. I finally got my knee brace so I can move around a little better. My soccer game was rained out, so that gives me more time to rehab my knee and get running again once this rain lets up. Anyone else out there finding challenges along the way?0

Girls - I`m so sorry but I have gained 2lbs this week.
I am not giving an excuse for my weight gain ... but I can give a reason, my daughter has been home from Spain (for a week - I won`t see her now till Christmas) where she studies and is an au pair - My gain is due to too much drinking and eating with her and family but sometimes there is more to life than dieting.
I did try to excercise as much as I could.
I understand I have been a bit of a let down regarding weight loss since we have started - I am willing to start afresh on Monday, but understand if any of you want me to leave the Purple team - I will do - no hard feelings eh!
Just let me know and I will email peanut - no problem

Aww, of course not! We all have our ups and downs, and enjoying life (and food) for special occasions is way more important than any challenge.
This week I decided I was sick of restricting my calories and being hungry all the time, so I reset myself back up to 1400 calories and went over almost every day. I lost a pound. Ha!0 -
It must be muscle! All those amazing exercises you have been doing - you put me to shame! Please don't leave the group! You are an inspiration ( as well as living the nearest to me..) - next week is another week. How lovely to have your daughter back - and how absolutely right and proper that you wined her and dined her.
No worries. All guns blazing for next week - ok?!0 -
Thank you so much girls for allowing me to stay - my daughter goes back to Spain today, so I will start afresh tomorrow.
My inspiration now is that she wont be home for another 3 months (Christmas) and I want her to see a new me!!!
Once again thanks a lot for your support and here`s to week 4!!

alright purple team!!! those ranks are sooo close together!! we can do it this week! i know we can! i know we've had things and events happen (everyone on all teams or so i've read) and that's ok. we still have 3 good weeks to pull it to number 1
stayed under today and worked out. even did 50 crunches from last week. i noticed my "spare tire" is smaller lol i think my QOTD is gonna revolve around that. but anyway...good luck to everyone this week! i'll be thinking about y'all!

No worries - been there, done that, got the T Sirt as they say
i was exactly the same last week - weighed myself Friday - gained 2lb, so had a total blow out weekend, drank and ate what I wanted, Monday morning - gained ANOTHER 2lb - worked really hard this week and lost the 4lb I had gained!!
Next week is another week for you- fresh start and back to losing!! - No guilt!! :noway:0 -
OK, so I'm about to complain.......................... I worked my butt off this week exercising when I was seriously so busy and only lost a pound not cheating either grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I really hope I'm not hitting another plateau, or maybe I'm retaining water ect. so frustrating.......... I am now going to resist the urge not to eat my frustration all weekend then hate myself by Monday:(0
