Sorry it's taken me so long to get results out this morning. Had problems with my spreadsheet, and then I made the mistake of looking at my phone...my husband had sent me a text saying he saw a mouse in our kitchen this morning. Let's just say I'm having a melt-down...lol! I think it's possible I might die if that thing comes out while I'm here today! My husband will tell you I'm a neat freak, so I'm totally disturbed by this!
Anyway, on to the important suff-results!
Alison: 1.5lbs for .79%
Holly: 1.4lbs for .81%
Melanie: 1.8lbs for .97%
Rebecca: 3.6lbs for 1.91%
Betsy: 1lb for .44%
Kim: 3lbs for 1.48%
Gayle: 1.8lbs for .74%
Kimmie: .2lb for .08%
Bobbi: .4lb for .21%
Heather: 1lb for .61%
Claudia: 4.3lbs for 1.37%
So, Rebecca wins the title of Biggest Loser this week!! Congrats!! Not to go unmentioned are Kim with 1.48% and Claudia with 1.37% and 4.3lbs!! You guys are kicking butt!!
I'll give you guys the total % lost by each person so far next week. I'll do that every four weeks. Also, don't forget, there's incentive for next week...I have something for the next week's winner....just for the week, not for total of all four weeks, so make this one a good one!
Whoo hooo....I'm on the list this week! (finally) And I'm so excited to know that next week's prize is up for grabs by anyone! I thought it would be for the biggest loser thus far, not just for the week. Lol, that means I actually have a chance.

Hey...just wanted to take a minute to say thanks for all the well wishes. I"m actually feeling a bit better the last couple of days, so I'm going to see what happens. I'm overdue for my yearly, so I need to go anyway, but I've been trying to wait until I lose more weight...lol!
Also, I just had a huge success on the treadmill(or as I will call it now, thanks to Melanie, the dreadmill :laugh: )...ran for 22 minutes straight!! Woohoo!! So excited that I'm finally making progress there. I was about to cash it in!
You guys motivate me so much!! Thanks for being such great MFP friends!
Good to hear you are feeling better. 22 minutes on the dreadmill is fantastic! That inspires me to start the C25K program again. I was a week 5 drop out the first go around because I was afraid to run 20 minutes straight. But this shows it is possible, you just have to put your mind to it. And thanks for being a great MFP friend too!0 -
Sweet! Kim, I'm giving you a run for your money. I know how hard you train, so I better watch out
LOL, bring it on baby!
Love it! congrats for the win this week!!!! 0 -
Good morning BL friends! I'm in a really good mood today and just wanted to spread some cheer. Hope your Friday is off to a great start and you've got something fun planned for this weekend. I'm taking my 3 yr old neice bday shopping tomorrow and then going to her bday party on Sunday. In my spare time I plan to make some jewelry and some diaper cakes. I'm preparing for my first craft show which is in 3 weeks. Anyway, let's make this best of this weekend...make healthy choices and get our workouts in! Don't forget Brandi has a prize for the biggest loser of the week!0

Hey friends! Well, I broke down and made a doctor appt for Monday because my body is just all whacked out. I've now had a mini TOM at least three times in the last month...ugh! I hadn't had one in forever(whch is common when you use an IUD for birth control), but I can't take this random one or two day crap! I'm wondering if it's also part of why I can't lose(although, part of that is definitely me). The pains kind of came back yesterday too, so no more dragging my feet. Quite honestly, I'm done having kids, so it's not worh the hassle anymore, so a hysterectomy doesn't sound all bad!
Anyway, hope everyone is doing well this week! Keep pushing yourselves and you will reach all of your goals!!
Hugs,
Brandi0 -
Good evening losers! Well my weekend was fun-filled spending time with my niece and nephew and getting to see them play football and soccer. They were so excited to have me visit, makes me feel loved!:)
Food choices not necessarily the best but according to my BodyMedia, I should at least be at maintenance for those couple days. Not anticipating much of a loss this Tuesday though:( Sodium has been off the charts! But I did get to go to Bojangles and I haven't had that in years!!!!! (there isn't one near me)
How did everyone do this weekend?0 -
I had a very busy weekend and had a work seminar yesterday. So I didn't eat very well, but I didn't pig out either. Did not workout officially, but I did take my 3 yr old niece shopping which including a lot of walking and holding her some. Anyway, I did not gain any during that time, which is especially good since I was on my period too. I am down 1 lb from last weigh in, so I'm excited about that.0

Finally...I have the results!! Sat down to do this and both kids woke up crying in the middle of naps...weird! Being sick does strange things to them I guess!
First...this week's winner and winner of the prize is Holly!! She had a 4.6lb loss for 2.7%. Way to kick some butt, girl!!
Here are the rest of the results:
Alison lost 3.2lbs for 1.69%
Melanie lost 2.2lbs for 1.20%
Erica lost 2lbs for .99%
Heather lost 1lb for .61%
Michelle lost 2lbs for .98%
Mikey lost 1.6lb for .85%
Claudia lost 2lbs for .64%
Everybody else either didn't report, stayed the same or gained. I gained 1.6lb...boo!
Do me a favor everyone...if you could please send me your weight every week, I would appreciate it....even if you don't lose. That way, I'm not chasing you guys down wondering if you just forgot or didn't lose. It just helps things run smoother for me.
It seems like a number of us lost some steam this week, and I noticed no one has really set new goals. Let's all get re-dedicated and work hard to get losses this week. No more excuses from any of us!! That's what this challenge is for...to keep us on the right path! I want to see some goals posted on this thread!! Have a great rest of the week everyone!!0 -
Thank you Brandi! I did gain a pound too - BOO!! Here is to a new week!
GOALS
#1 - drink 64 ounces of water every day
#2 - exercise atleast 5 out of the 7 days (for min of one hour each day)
#3 - log my food EVERYDAY
$3 If I do ALL of the above, then my scale should read below 190 on Tuesday morning!
WE CAN DO THIS FOLKS!!!0 -
Oh, I forgot....Holly won the prize, which is a Cooking Light cookbook that I picked up that has lots of healthy recipes in it to keep meals interesting! Message me your address, Holly, and I'll send it out to you! Or, I'll deliver it by hand...lol!0

Here are my goals for the week
1. Water, Water, Water..
2. Walk at least 3 miles every day
3. Stop obsessing over people noticing my weight loss
4. Feel good about my weight loss so far.
Accomplishing these 4 goals for the week will make me feel a whole lot better and I know results will shine on me!0 -
Really?!? Wow, that makes me feel really good. I did have an unusually good loss this week, actually I think that's only ever happened one other time. A cook book! Awesome, love cook books (and cooking!), I read 'em like novels, lol. So excited.
Congrats to the other "losers" as well, great job peeps.
Ok, so goals for the week.
1. Try to get another kettle bell work out in, did one yesterday and legs are talking to me today, whoo! Good stuff Continue on with c25k too, of course. Week 7 begins on Friday! Time flies...
2. Would again like to lose 1-2 lbs.
3. Need to drink more water!!!
Overall last week was good. I exceeded my weight loss goal and I even threw in an extra day of running, which felt good. I also had some really good c25k days in general. Didn't feel as fatigued, had some more stamina. So that was a great feeling, hope it
continues. On a blah note... I once again completely dropped the ball with my water consumption. Didn't reach my daily goal even once. I have no idea why I ignore the water so much.
Wishing everyone a good rest of the week! We CAN do this
Thanks to Brandi for organizing this group being a great leader! Hope you feel better very soon.

You are doing an amazing job!! You are having steady losses each week, which is more than I can say for myself at this point! Keep it up, and by the way, you need to get a picture on here so we can put a face to the name! Have a great and successful week!0 -
Great job everyone! Special congrats to Holly for being our Biggest Loser of the week!
I've actually I added 2 more goals to my list, but I also created a goal / reward point system. For every goal I complete each day, I earn 1 point. On holidays and special occassions, I'll earn 2 points for every completed goal. And for every pound I lose, I earn 5 points. Every 50 points is worth $10. My weekly goal is to complete at least 80% of my daily goals. (I'm trying to get away from that all or nothing mentality.) With that being said, if I just focus on my daily goals, I should earn that $10 in about 7-10 days.
Here are my goals:
1. drink 6-8 cups of water
2. drink no more than 12 ox of diet coke
3. net approx. 1300 calories
4. 30 minutes of exercise
5. 15 minutes of physical therapy
6. 20 minutes bible study0 -
Hi heather!
I totally agree with trying to get away from the "all or nothing" mindset.
Great goals!! Keep it up 0 -

Good morning ladies!!!!! Well another week has passed, how is everyone doing? I've been bad about making goals, just been doing my thing. I really don't recognize this exercise demon I have become. I am adding so much to my routine that it is so out of character for me. Looking forward to a new step class with my bestie tomorrow at her gym, hope she likes it. Then it's Bootcamp on Saturday with my other bestie:) I'm sharing the exercise bug!
Good luck to everyone on the weigh-in today!!!!!0 -
After working out a few kinks with my spreadsheet, I'm now have results! First, I'll list the results for this week and then totals for all five weeks combined. If you're not on the list, you either gained or have no loss.
Week 5
Mandy lost 1.8lbs for 1.27%
Rebecca lost 2lbs for 1.08%
Erica lost 4lbs for 1.99%
Kim lost 2lbs for 1.00%
Bobbie lost 2.4lbs for 1.25%
Michelle lost 3.2lbs for 1.60%
Claudia lost 3.2lbs for 1.04%
So, Erica is our Biggest Loser this week!! Congrats! Great loss this week!
Totals after five weeks...again, if you aren't on here, you have not lost, not reported, or gained.
Alison has lost 8.4lbs for 4.33%
Brandi has lost 1.8lbs for .87%...boo to me!
Holly has lost 9.4lbs for 5.37%
Mandy has lost 3.2lbs for 2.24%
Melanie has lost 7lbs for 3.72%
Rebecca has lost 7.6lbs for 3.97%
Erica has lost 8.6lbs for 4.18%
Kim has lost 3.5lbs for 1.74%
Kimmie has lost 2lbs for .75%
Bobbie has lost 7.8lbs for 3.95%
Michelle has lost 12.2lbs for 5.83%
Mikey has lost 4lbs for 2.10%
Claudia has lost 16lbs for 4.98%
So, if I don't include anyone who has gained over the five weeks, we have lost 85.2lbs as a group in five weeks!! That's awesome!! Let's try to make it 100 in six weeks...we can do this! I'm so proud of all of you who are doing so well each week! Even though I haven't done the greatest, all of you are keeping me inspired to not give up and to get back on track!! Next week that scale is moving down!!0 -
Wow! Great success group! That's exciting, we can definitely reach that 100 lb mark at this rate. I had a bad weekend, my eating was fine but did no real exercise. Having a bad time personally so just trying hard to keep my head above water. Didn't lose any weight this week, but no gain either so I'm ok with that. Goals for the week:
1. Keep up with my c25k, and try to do some form of activity each day on non running days
2. Drink lots of water
3. Stay in a POSITIVE state of mind
Have a good week friends!!

Wow...feels so good to look at those lbs lost...!! Great job everyone we should be proud..

Congrats Erica!!!! 4 pounds is awesome! Everyone keep up the great work!!!!!0
-
That's awesome to see how much weight we've lost as a group. Exciting!!0
-
Thanks guys!!!! I'm so excited .... let's get this going!!0
-
Wow we've lost 85 lbs collectively! that is amazing!
My loss has slowed - I'm 10 lbs from goal (although I should modify it and extend my goal and add another 10 lbs, but darn it - I want to reach a goal) I feel like its the luck of the draw at this point. I work my butt off and it says I gained a lb, then I get discouraged and do a little less and lose. I got really discouraged a few weeks ago because the scale wasnt budging then this week I'm down 1.8...geez....0 -
Congrats Erica! And congrats to all those who have been losing consistently!
I unfortunately have been fluctuating this whole time and am still above where I started. But seeing this list shows me that I really need to get to work and see some results like you fine ladies. I told you all that I started my point system last week, which I considered more of a practice week. (I knew I would be on vacation for half the week and I wanted to give myself a practice week so I could start gettting used to this system.) I only earned 13 points for the first week. It's not the score I wanted, but it's a start. My goal this week is to earn 30 points. And again, I earn those points by completing my daily goals, which are:
1. Drink 6-8 cups of water
2. No more than 12 oz diet coke
3. Net approx 1300 calories
4. 30 minutes of exercise
5. 15 minutes physical therapy
6. 20 minutes bible study
I also have been working on a project. I have a notebook with my weekly score sheets (for the point system). Yesterday I started making collages for inspiration and motivation. For example, I made a page that included Jillian Michaels, Hannah & Olivia from the Biggests Loser, Valerie Bertinelli, my profile pic of the hot pink bikini, along with a few other images. I also made a page that has healthy food images. I'm going to make one today that is about exercise & fitness, one with the worst images I can find of fast food (something that will gross me out), and one with baby / pregnancy images since I want to be more fit before I get pregnant next year. I also carry my weight loss bible study in this same notebook. I'm trying to make myself very organized and motivated, and so that I have all my resources right there at hand.
Sorry this post is so long. Hope you all have a fabulous day!0
