the NEW black team

Rachel6901

I think it would be a good idea to send a NEW post if someone is asking a question to the whole team or making an announcement. I find it very time consuming to get on and browse through all of these threads just to see if someone has asked us all something. Would that be possible or just a pain to do? Thanks and sorry for the request.

Hey no need to be sorry! Sounds like a plan to me! This thread was our first one as a team, and it's just kinda where we chit chat...but challenges, games, any big announcements seem to be in other threads...and they have "black" in the subject line...so we can definitely try to put new information in new posts! Go black!

Oh, and eat those fruits and veggies! Two more days in the fruit/veggie challenge, and then on Wednesday, someone else can start a new challenge...I think Marla has this upcoming week (I think you were thinking of something with the tummy?...please don't make me do crunches! lol) so let's finish this week up with a bang!

I finally got my before picture posted. I was going through my pictures and realized that there were none of me... I am always the one taking the pictures. I finally made my husband take my picture and WOW, I am glad that there are not more pictures of me. :blushing:

So today has not been very fun for me. The digital scale we had broke and the other one with "springs" as spyguy says told me I weighed in at 186 and this morning I weighed in on my wii fit and it told me I was 189. I am sooo sad. Before I would have stuffed my face all day if that happened. today I haven't wanted to eat at all. I'm afraid of gaining weight and I know that is dangerous. I just am so tired of being the big girl at work and every where we go that even 1 or 2 pounds scares me to death. I plan on working out on the treadmill as soon as the kiddos go down tonight. and also a little on the wii and I cleaned the house today. all becasue I'm sad. I am learning to do other things besides eat when I'm sad or bored so I guess that is a good sign right?

I don't know if this helps but my digital scale is in my bathroom and the wii fit is in my living room. I weight 4lbs heavier on my wii fit than I do on my scale soooooo.... either by some complex and amazing circumstance my living room has defied all reasonable logic and found a way to increase the power of gravity Orrrrrr Wii fit likes to likes to weight people on the heavy side. And as for that old dial scale...I wouldnt even weight my garbage on that thing. Dont worry, your probably didnt gain anything. If you can't get a new scale just use th wii fit until you do. It is accurate from one weight in to the next. And when you finally get a new scale you'll probably instantly lose 3 pounds lol.

Don't sweat it. I am still proud to call you our captain. Anyway who can take care of kids and lose weight at the same time is a force to be reconed with.

Sam - yay for a new scale! What do you do for a living? When you said "spoiled rich kids" I instantly thought of one of those boarding school teachers that wears a uniform & hits kids with rulers. :bigsmile:

You have a PM. *hugs*

BeGorgeous - Nice looking pics, lady!

Amelia - you're adorable! Look at how far you've come!

So I did 30 day shred with madison the oldest and she made it a whole lot of fun. She was trying to do all the exersices!! so cute watching a 2 year old try and do jumping jacks is the funniest thing ever. she also did reverse crunches! I her!!!

That is so cute! Sometimes when i doing floor exercises my kids will line up beside me and do them....its just the most unexplained feeling i can have as a mom. I feel like "What did i do to deserve such precious people in my life" My babies bring me so much joy!

I also weighed 189 yesterday morning thanks to that cheat meal.....so you weren't along and we can kick that scale in the butt! ( you Wii was probably telling you the wrong weight anyway) Hugs to you! What happened to your picture/avatar?

I work at a resort. People own their condos and rent them out like a hotel. We have a kids area and theat is where I work. We have 1 bedroom 3 bedroom and 4 bedroom condos and the 1 bedroom goes for 300+ a night so imagine what a 4 bedroom goes for. We do morning programs monday through saturday and night programs wednesday, friday, and saturday so the parents can drop off there kids and go do things by themselves. Morning programs are $40 and night ones are $45. Sometimes I see the same kids in the am and pm programs all week!!!

Makes me love my kids even more! Why take your kids on vacation if you don't want them to be with you!:noway:

Awww thanks...you're awesome!

Just wanted to share guys...I haven't done more than 10 minutes or so of exercise in the past several months. For the most part I've kept up with my food and continued to lose, but I definitely fell off the exercise wagon. Today I made myself get up and take a walk outside. I didn't let myself look at the calories burned even one time while I was walking because I knew it'd be depressing (which it was when I finally looked...131 calories for 40 minutes at 3 mph average)...but I had lots of fun with my new GPS that told me how far I walked (1.9 miles), what my max speed was (4.6 mph), and what my average was (3 mph). I had my heartrate in zone for the whole walk, and I really don't know why I only burnt 131 calories, but I am proud of myself that I got up and did something today...

Yesterday I did 10 minutes on the elliptical in the morning. In the evening, Dave pushed himself and did 20 minutes. (I was so proud!) Then of course, I had to beat him (again) so I did 30 minutes. :bigsmile: I was so wobbly afterwards! I might take a day off today...unless Dave works out on it because then of course I'll have to one up him again! :laugh:

Yesterday after the buffalo chicken salad Dave had for lunch and the cobb salads we had for supper, Dave ate a mango and a starfruit for a post-workout snack. He is so trying to smoke the fruit/veggie challenge. (I, on the other hand, ate a fudge round that I had earned enough calories for. :laugh: Oh, well. Whatever motivation works.)
