Congrats to everyone that had a loss!

beefluv86 - Since this is your first time being highlighted, would you please give us a mini challenge for the week? Sorry to the past highlighted ladies that haven't been asked. Sometimes I don't remember about the mini challenges until quite late in the week. :blushing:

Great job everyone. Thanks again kcthatsme for doing such an awesome job with the chart.

dixedreg

Nice job losers!

I think this week and next week will be iffy for a loss for me with Beer Fest on the agenda. Hopefully, I will see Onederland very soon. It's a place I haven't visited in more than 14 years so, I'm pretty excited!

shannonaufman

Great job to everyone who had a loss this week!!

shickam062604

Great job everyone! Keep up the good work! Thanks kcthatsme for all you do!

Great job biggest losers!

Scarlettdawn764

Always feels good to see a loss. When I started this challenge I thought there would be no way I'd make my goal weight by Dec.24. But now it's starting to look possible! Down to my last ten pounds! Woot woot! :bigsmile:

Scarlettdawn764

Oh and also, grats to all of the losers this week!!! :drinker:

beefluv86

Wow! I am super excited that I made it to the biggest loser club!

This weeks mini challenge can be... to jump start each morning this week with a cardio burst. Whether it be a quick run in place, 10 jumping jacks, or burpees; get moving early to set the days pace! I am not a morning person so maybe it will jolt me.

shickam062604

What are burpees?

Great job to all the losers and thanks for the challenge. Kristen, as always awesome chart and thanks for all you do.

Congratulations to all the losers! I'm aiming for one-derland for next week! Wanted it for this week, but didn't happen, so I plan to work harder for it for next week's weigh-in!

kcthatsme

Scarlettdawn764 - You had a great loss for your weight! Since I weigh what you did, what is your secret? I've never had a loss like that in a week. EVER!

beefluv86 - Thanks for our mini challenge!

jllipson - I totally think you will be able to do it!!

bluiz13

petiteerrant - You're another one... How are you able to be that weight and still lose that much in one week? Share, please! :-) Congrats on getting into the 110s!

Haha, I absolutely love to exercise. I think that's the whole answer (well, that and the fact that I'm a college student so I have to buy healtheir foods -- i.e. fruit -- because they're cheaper than buying junk food -- removes the temptation of eating sweets). So I spend a great deal of time at the gym, taking classes.

Monday is "Hour of Power" (it's a British phenomenon, but it's the world's best workout. You can find the DVD on amazon.co.uk) and BodyPump (which is great for toning, not just losing). Tuesday is Jivamukhti Yoga (a more intense form of yoga than, say, hatha, but not as harsh as Bikram). Wednesday is BodyPump again, with Thursday getting in that second Hour of Power class. Fridays I rest, and just walk around Hyde Park. Saturdays I do Ashtanga Yoga in the mornings for that refreshing, awake feeling (it's like Jivamukhti in that it's more intense). And Sundays I do a class called New Body, which is basically just high impact and low impact aerobics mixed with a conditioning section. So it's very much like a circuit workout.

Great job Losers!!! You guys are doing awesome.

Great job everyone! We really have a nice group of gals here in Hubba Hubba! As always, the chart is wonderful!
I'm getting really close to those 170's. I am super motivated to get there! Here's to a good week for all of us! :drinker:

Shirley61

What a large group of losers this week:bigsmile: CONGRATULATIONS:flowerforyou:

Kudos to all of you and hope I can make that list
sometime soon.

I have to get my willpower back. It took a sail into the sunset. :frown:

CricketKate

Sorry I missed weigh in, I was crazy busy yesterday. I'm still at 149

vallejos6

Congrats to all the losers, great job ladies!

Bee- thanks for the challenge

Shirley- you can do it! I've been having my own struggles this week, so will use a thought of you to motivate me to make the next choice I make a healthy one (and then hopefully keep repeating that over and over this week, LOL).

3 inches of snow forecast for today, will make recess fun- better remember my boots, but can't decide if it's cold enough yet for snow pants.

Congrats to all the biggest losers this week keep up the great work!!!

kcthatsme

Thanks, petiteerrant!

gmomlyn - I won't be surprised to see you in the 170s with your next weigh in! You can do it! You ARE doing it!

Shirley61 - Willpower... Why not make a friend on here that you can both be accountable to each other on your profiles? I know several others are struggling with the same thing. You could be accountable for your exercise that day, your green numbers, your water, etc. Something to think about...

Thanks to everyone that posted about their weigh ins/inches even after the cutoff time. It is still helpful!

vallejos6 - 3" of snow... I'm still sitting in the minimal amount of clothes with nothing covering my feet. ;-) It is 93 degrees, right now. I do miss the weather where I used to live though. It was in the norther part of AZ, close to mountains, and it is already getting in the low 30s at night. It has obvious seasons and snow in the winter. We are building a retirement home there, so I will end up back there one day.

I was soooo happy with the progress of so many of us yesterday that I started (and finished) the name/colors/graphics, etc for the chart of our next challenge! ;-)

Today is the first time I have EVER weighed less than one of my children. I weighed in today at 143. One of my daughters weighs 143.xx. I don't remember the number after the point. ;-) What is coming up for me is 141. That was the lowest that I weighed after my last child was born. I weighed that over 16 years ago. At the time, that was heavy for me. After that will be the 130s! Woo hoo! I should be able to reach both of those before Thanksgiving!

One last thing... THANK YOU to Frank's Enchilada Casserole! I've mentioned here before but for some reason it really helps me to lose weight! I had a small piece yesterday and on Sunday. In that time I've lost 1.4 lbs. Nothing else is ever different when it helps me. It isn't low cal or modified. I just log everything it has in it (and have a small piece) and work my day around it. It is delicious and always works. No, I won't lose that much every couple of days of eating it (darn it!). But it just gives a little extra push to my weight loss which is fine with me! A delicious food that helps? I'm there!

Thank you to all of you that have continued on with this challenge. I truly celebrate your losses with you! I truly feel for you when you are stuck or gaining. Please make the rest of today fantastic... food/water/exercise. I KNOW you CAN!

So, did I read awhile back that this is something your husband makes? If so, want to share the recipe? Enchilada Casserole....hmmm....even the name sounds like something I would like.


Oh..and vallejos6 - 3" of snow? You can keep your snow for now, lol. I'm so enjoying the milder fall temps we've had here in NJ. Very rainy the couple of months, but the temps have been warmer than usual. Trees look beautiful though. The colors of the leaves are gorgeous and the leaves are falling from the trees.....but usually by this time in October most of the leaves are off the trees and this year they are still haning on. Today the sun is shining and I was outside without a jacket. Rain is coming tomorrow though. Figures. I have a GS meeting for my youngest Brownie troop tomorrow evening and the meeting is at the church basement we meet in. I cart everything back and forth for each meeting. It'll probably be pouring when I'm unloading my car!

It is from my husband. I don't actually know exactly how he makes it. I just had him tell me the portion of ingredients so I could log it. I'll be sneaky and watch next time. :-) Another food that looks interesting, on MFP today, is this one.

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/352970-woman-s-world-fat-flush-soup

Looks tasty and sounds like it helps. I'm going to try it too!

Just think, all that carting, and hurrying to get out of the rain, will burn calories! :-)

So funny Kristen that you posted about your enchillada dish.......
I wanted to ask eveeryone to share their newest food dish, recipie, or go to food that has really been instrumental to you. Wether it is a new concoction of yours from your kitchen, a healthy adaption of an ol' family favorite or a new discovery that blew your socks off---PLEASE SHARE

Mine is a salad dressing i came up with

---

I eat ALOT of salads and had a very hard time balancing fat/ calories/ taste/ sugar, until I started experimenting in the kitchen with non-fat Greek yogurt... I mix it with pickle juice and ketchup for a tangy dressing with ground turkey... I adapt it with some feta cheese and pepper for fish and the possibilies are just starting to evolve......

What is yours???

HAve a great day everyone..... and thanks for being there when i need you.......
