Well yesturday I just got Jillian Michaels 30 day shred, and Bob's Boot Camp. I love them. Today I did level one of 30 day shred, and also did Week 1-2 of boot camp 1. Really wish I had Polar to really know how many calories burned. I feel really good right now, and I think I can stick to doing these every day, or every other day. Must have done something right, my arms are still burning.0

Alright guys we still need to push! :drinker:
Was wondering what the blue and red team was all about?0 -
I shredded yesterday and today. I am under on calories today - about 350 - I'll get something small but still won't make it up
I am so excited - I took my son to his speed and agility training and I am going to be able to get a membership to work out while he does for only $20 ($40 for family) they're waiving the registration fees - so I can work out at least 2 times a week while he's working but hopefully 3 - 4 (they're open 6 days) I am so excited to change things up!
My son's coach was a pitcher for the Atlanta Braves and NY Yankees and when he saw me he lit up and said you look great - do you know how good that made me feel that a pro athlete saw the changes...he walked me thru the machines and suggested which ones to use (elliptical, then row, then finish with treadmill )
Just his compliment made my day and put some extra drive back in me!
Should have a small loss for weigh in - we'll see.....0 -
Well last night was not a great night. My little one has been sick and her temperature got really high instead of going down after getting Tylenol. When I gave her the Tylenol it was 101.2 and then 2 hours later it was 102.9 so the doctor had us come in and by the time they checked it it was upt to 103.5. They sent us over to the hospital to have some blood work done at the lab and we had to wait around for those results. He said that her white blood cells were elevated so we had to go the ER so they could give her a shot of antibiotic. The dr's office was closed by then. So after the shot we had to wait 20 minutes to make sure she didnt have an allergic reaction to it. We got home around 9 last night and her appt was at 4:30. I have to bring her back in to get rechecked today. They said that she will probably get another shot today. POOR BABY. I hate it when they are sick and to young to tell you whats wrong. We wont know exactly what she has until the blood culture comes back and he said it takes about 48 hours. But her throat was real red. I hope its just viral though. So no gym today either for me. I will try and get in some type of exercise, maybe while she is napping.

Connie - I am so sorry to hear that the baby is so sick!! Poor thing! You hang in there! It's tough on Mom! :flowerforyou:0 -
So I was over on my calories by 200 so far. I still have time to get a workout in tonight and I think I am going to have to. I packed all healthy food but then my fiance gave me a brownie to eat, then I bought cookies at school, and then had a slice of pimpkin roll. Obviously sweets are my weakness but I just can't get past it. This is about the only thing that is stopping me from losing weight.
You has advice on cutting out the sweets?0 -
j_g - congrats on your loss!! sorry that it had to come to you in such a difficult way!! don't get any crazy ideas for next weeks weigh in!! :laugh: we'll be watcching you!! :noway: :noway: seriously though, way to hang in there!
crissy - congrats on your compliments!! it's great to get positive feedback on all our hard work!
I was able to get my treadmill workout in just about an hour ago!! It had to wait until after the girls went to bed tonight! Tough day today!! I really didn't think I was going to workout but I pushed myself & now I feel great!!
Biggest Loser is on the DVR & if I tune in now I should be able to skip past ALL the commercials!! That makes me so very happy!! :bigsmile:
Have a great night everyone!! :drinker:0 -

chrissy, that's awesome! I hope you enjoy the new work out! And congrats on the compliment! :drinker:0 -
Hey Blue Team!
I am still, slowly but surely recovering from this cold. It's been a week! Last night I finally got some sleep - the two prior nights I coughed more than I got to sleep! :grumble: And I really haven't gotten any exercise either. :ohwell:
I'm watching BL right now and it really makes me want to go work out!!
I am pretty sure I will have a loss this week - being sick, and the stress of being laid off have given me a smaller appetite. I've actually been having trouble eating as much as I should.
Good luck everyone!0 -
Alright guys we still need to push! :drinker:
Was wondering what the blue and red team was all about?
James - there's a blue, black, red, and green team I believe. We've got our own Biggest Loser competition going on here - tomorrow is our weekly weigh-in day!! You might be able to join a team if you want - I think the green team just formed? Rach might be able to help you...0 -
Alright everyone I have lots of calling tomorrow as I just found out I have court in April for my disabilty which I have been waiting for for 2 yrs. I couldn't be more excited but I have lots to do in the mean time. I however want to workout to BL cardio 20mins. I think Im feeling better but if I do too much my husband will kick my butt.
that is going to be my husband. Maybe if I feel really good i will do an extra 10 mins. I have to get back on track with exercise. Burn baby burn. 
3more lbs and I will be in the 170's and I will be halfway to my goal. 
I'm so excited. 0 -
Alright im still talking. Im so tired but can't sleep to many things going through my head. Do you guys reward yourself when you get to a certain point? Like since im so close to my halfway point. When I get to my goal weight im going to get some marks on my skin. :bigsmile: Alright im done now night.0

Down two pounds for week 5 - so happy.
COnnie - I didn't see your post - hope baby is doing better.
I don't have a specific rewards - except new clothes that fit!
I thought about a new tattoo when I hit my final but I am a big chicken-so we'll see....
I feel like getting to join the fitness center is a reward - first - I want to do it, second that I can do it! 6 months ago I would have laughed at the thought of working out in front of all those people (including the parents for my son's baseball team) SO to me the accomplishment is reward in itself.0 -
Weigh-in's today!!! Don't forget....I won't have internet after 5 today, so I'll have to update it tomorrow if you don't send your weights in til this evening.
I'm up again this week! :noway: Little by little the last couple weeks. At least I'm finally all moved in and can get back into a routine. Hopefully we'll see the scale tip in the other direction next week. :ohwell:0 -
Hey guys!! I just went through and read all the posts I've missed!! :flowerforyou: You all are awesome.
Shar - I hope you feel better soon!! I watched most of BL last night, too. My boyfriend decided to come to bed right before they were voting someone off!! :grumble:
So, the TV got turned off. Boo!! Who went home? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE say Joelle.
Chrissy - What an awesome compliment!! He's right, though. Look at how much you've lost!! You're an inspiration.
Connie - How is the little one??? Aww... poor bebe!! :frown:
j_g - congrats on the disability court date. :flowerforyou: I know that can be frustrating. I have a friend who has colitis and whatever that thing is where your spine is crooked and she has been going through trying to get disability for the past few years. Thing is... she wants to work!
sanifrey - where are you?! :flowerforyou: how are things with the HRM?!
Rach - things have been hectic lately - you'll get back on track and probably lose more than you thought!! Yay!! Hey... now you have a whole exercise room!!! :bigsmile: :drinker:
okay... soooo, I lost 1 pound this week. I actually wasn't expecting to lose any, so I'm happy.
I've been having some crazy emotional bouts this week, though. And, TOM doesn't visit me, either... I am on the shot. But, I guess maybe the mood swings still do sometimes! :sad: I blew up at my bf the other morning. :explode: I think I scared him (:laugh:)... I think he thought i was going to just leave! But, here's the deal, his mother and grandmother moved in with us over a year ago and it was only supposed to be temporary. Well.. they're still here and still sleep on our couch and futon!! I can't even sit in my own livingroom. And, she has claimed my kitchen, cluttered it up and barely cleans. Every so often I do a whole-house clean, but I am getting tired of cleaning up after them!! :mad: :sad: I just want them gone and, after a year, I broke down and let my boyfriend know. He didn't say much...... that day sucked. :ohwell: 0 -
lcorrell - I know how that goes! My bf and I were stuck living with his mom (pregnant at the time), her 3 birds and 2 dogs. No matter how much you cleaned it didn't make a dent and it felt the only place that was mine was the bedroom, and even then I didn't want to be in there because it was overrun with ALL our stuff we had to pack in there. It's frustrating, but I'm hoping you guys get everything worked out! :flowerforyou:
All you blue teamers - You guys are doing AMAZING! I'm so proud of everyone. Even if you gain some weeks, you're staying positive and really pushing! :drinker:
The weights are rolling in! I've moved quite a few people off the list because I didn't get weights from them last week. If I get weigh-in's from anyone I've moved off, at any time, I'll put them right back on our team list. :flowerforyou:
No excuses. No quitting.

EXACTLY!! :explode: I'm glad you guys have a place of your own, now. That's definitely gotta reduce the stress! And, if the thing they say about cortisol and stress is true... :bigsmile: Yay!!0 -
Ty all for asking about my little one. She is doing better but now I think I am getting sick. Good news is I lost 1 lb. YEA. Still so much more to lose but I am getting there. Well I am going to go and lay down for awhile. Hubby is home because of the snow so taking advantage of it.

I'm still here!! Still loving my HRM!! Gonna strap that baby on in just a little bit!! I've got a date with Bob!! (BL Cardio Max dvd) I usually go to step class on Wednesdays but I just wasn't feeling it today.
I lost 1 lb last week. I was hoping for more after my barfing episode last Thursday, but I know that it's better to lose it slowly, the healthy way! No excuses. It is what it is! I'm looking forward to next week!
I'm going to try roasting up some garbonzo beans tonight to snack on while watching tv! Lost is on tonight.. I think.. they changed the day a few times & I still can't get it right! TG for DVR's!!
Have a great rest of the day!0 -

I saw that garbanzo bean recipe on here the other day and want to try it! :laugh: Sounds yummy!! Let me know how it is and if you tweaked it.
And... let me know how your "date" with Bob goes! :laugh: Doesn't he like . . . men? :huh: Haha, I hate to say that, but, sometimes... I wonder! Not that it matters, he's freakin' amazing either way!!!! :laugh:0 -

I hear ya girl. It's been 1.5 years off and often depressed. I'm a social person and I only have my pets to talk too all day. Gets a little boring... Down 1 lb. Not bad considering I had a chow fest. Mon. after a terrible day with 2 of my teens. Hate this age sometimes!
So pumped for all you guys. :drinker: Keep on truckin'. We will prevail. Look how well the blue team did on BL last nite!:drinker: Thanks for your motivation.:smooched: Time for Kempo Karate.....0 -

BL Cardio + push ups week 5 day 2 + crunches 100 = 400 burned !! I had to jump up & down to get those last couple of calories burned so that I could break 400!! LOL!! :laugh: :laugh:
I'm not sure where I got the garbonzo bean recipe. Maybe it was here! I plan to spray the pan with PAM lay out the beans & sprinkle with a little olive oil, garlic, onion, pepper & what ever else I come across & bake for 40 minutes or so on 350. I'll let you know! 0 -

Way to go blue team we rock
I just got done exercising and I think there might be something wrong with my HRM it said i burned 1,000 calories. I did 20 mins on the BL cardio and then some extra ab stuff and some push ups. I put in my new weight and I know or I think you burn more calories as you loose weight I don't know0 -
Just look at those stats!! Good job everyone!! 0

.... hello.. where is everyone...????0

My ChaLean Extreme came in the mail yesterday. I cant wait to start it although Im still not feeling all that well today. I have to go and get some more weights. I have 5lb weights but I think I might get some 7.5 and 10 lb weights to start out with. Although Im not sure if I can 10 lb yet. I didnt work out yesterday, I spent all day in bed and napped for awhile. Hubby is at work today so I cant do that otherwise Im sure I would,
It is freezing here though. It is 5 degrees right now and with the wind chill they said it could get to below 15. That is just fricking cold.
