THE Team - Week 1 - 2/6/09

cmriverside

______________________________________________________________________________
To >>>>>>>>>>>drum roll<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
“THE Team”
(formerly known as “January-ers”)
______________________________________________________________________________

It was suggested and seconded that “T H E” stands for “Trying Hard Everyday”
______________________________________________________________________________
We began a thread looking for friends to join our group: and to date we have 25 names on the list. New team members always welcome!

We are here for anyone to post or suggest ideas or “throw down” challenges – whatever you want to do. Some of us are posting our weight losses, or measuring and posting our inches lost, or posting our exercise or food ideas, but we all share a desire to be available for each other to talk and exchange ideas. Through good and bad times, it is nice to have somewhere safe to go to....type....... instead of eat.

If you come up with a good idea, post it and then, “Make it so.” Figure out a way to make it happen!

I will start a new thread each week on Friday. FRIDAY! In the “Motivation and Support” tab/category
I will name it “THE Team - Week 1 - 2/6/09 ” (then THE Team - Week 2 - etc...)

This is for the upcoming week, it is the end of our first full week and therefore the first opportunity for losses since we joined together.

So go peeps!!

Hi all,

this week has been good for me. I have lost 2 pounds, but even better I found an old pair of pants which I can now button. :laugh:
Start weight : 262
current : 248,5

My goal for next week is to eat well and get 3 workouts in. And lose 2 pounds.
Baby steps - baaabbyyy steps.:bigsmile:

Go T.H.E. team
Hope everybody has a nice weekend.

This week has not been kind to me... I found wanning's 2 pounds. I think I'm swelled so I'm going to *try* again tomorrow. Anyway, next week will be a better week. I just have to buckle down and eat within my calories AND healthy.

Off to work.

prayerfulmom

-1.2 for me. I'll take it. I'm very happy as I had a not so great weekend eating.

CMR-thanks for all your hard work on the thread=)
I like it. Try Hard Everyday.

Wanni ng- awesome job! Also great non-scale victory. I love those.

Kelleighanne- I hope you can shed those creepers next week.

Wanning and Prayerful mom, High Fives for you!! :drinker:

Kelleighanne-I'm with you. I gained 1/2 a pound this week. I feel like I am bloated though :blushing: Hopefully it's just that because besides super bowl Sunday, I did eat pretty good (I guess I was bad Friday night too :devil: ) And I guess I really could've worked out harder.

Oh here's to a better next week Kelleighanne!!! :drinker: :flowerforyou:

get_fit2009

Woo hoo! 2.5 for me (it shows up as 3 on my ticker. It's kind of bugging me because I feel like that's cheating. Oh, wait, there's that thing about being a perfectionist causing problems again!). Go THE Team!

manderson and kelleighanne, Technically we are starting week one, ha ha. So, start over today!

Wanning and Prayerful mom, yay!

and CMR, thanks for stepping up to be our fearless leader!

Thanks!

Ok, now I am all pumped up to workout more. I have my killer class this morning (Circuit training with the cute, tiny, evil teacher :devil: ) and then tomorrow I am doing 2 classes - 1 spinning and 1 weight lifting. That way, I can have a piece of cake for my son's 16th birthday! His birthday is today, but we're having his buddies over tomorrow. I plan to make Sunday my rest day.

Has anyone else noticed a change in energy level? I have been trying to eat really healthy and my energy is WAY up. And, um, I'm kind of chatty so I think I might be getting on my coworkers' nerves. :laugh:

Everyone have a fantastic Friday!

Thanks for the encouragement, I was moping but am ready to work out!

mandersen16

Someone did an awesome post on "The weight loss process). I was pretty disappointed to see I had gained this week but that post did a great job of explaining what was going on. I am so motivated right now to kick my own @ss!!! Need to get over this depressing feeling!

On a happier note, I heard a song on the radio this morning that I hadn't heard in a long time and got me in a better mood :happy:

You go! :drinker: :flowerforyou: After you workout, any mopiness (is that a word?) will be sweated away!

Hey ALL!

My name is Markay. I was browsing through the posts and came across this one. I have been searching for a weight loss team forever! I would love to be a newbie to THE Team. So below I put a little bit of my weight info. I'm glad I haven't missed too much yet.

Starting Weight: 410 lbs
Current Weight: 375 lbs

Thanks! I cannot wait to see how much support I will gain from this group, and how much weight I will LOSE.

chantybear

Morning Ladies! I can't weigh in right now, because I use the gym scale, and my fiance has the car for work. Oh I feel like having a lazy day How is everybody this morning?

mandersen16

Welcome Markay!! Congrats on what you have lost already!

Thanks, it probably won't be a lazy day. I just hate using the bus sometimes, because our transit system sucks (I live in a smaller town), but I think I will head down, and try aqua fit for the first time! I think I will be the only one under 60 :laugh:

markay_

I ate BAD this morning. I binged on a plate of fried chicken and mashed potatoes. :ohwell: I shouldn't beat myself up about it. I'm just going to work that much harder when I work out tonight.

Wanning - congrats! Down 2 lbs - that's fantastic and definately even better to fit back into some old pants - That's super great! :glasses:

Prayerful - yayyyyy you! Down 1.2 lbs!!! High five yourself from me:happy:

Markay - welcome to THE Team!!! Yes, you'll find lots of support here! 35 lbs lost is fantastic! Keep it up, log ALLLLL your food, drink drink drink your water! Let's kick some butt:drinker:

Chantybear - public transit is a pain in the behind - but it'll be worth it - go try out that water fit class - I used to be in one and I loved it when young people joined up - it made me feel young too!!

Its a brand new week!! Try Hard Everyday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, as for me, I didn't lose a stinking pound this week!!!:grumble: BUT I did my measurements this a.m. and in one month, these are current results:

Bust - down 1 inch
Waist - down 1/2 inch
Hip - down 1 inch
Thigh - down 1/2 inch
Arm and neck are no change. Sooooooo that's 3 inches less of me overall and 8 lbs down in a month. Not too shabby:happy:

I went to Dr. yesterday for 1 year checkup since my hysterectomy (complete) and went back this a.m. for blood work... thyroid, hormones, lipids, etc... I am hopeful that there may be some insight there that will help me adjust diet or hormone meds to help me let go of this weight a little more quickly... we'll see

My goals this week: Exercise 6 days. Lower calories by 50 cals/day. Find a job!!!!

Happy Friday all!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, cmriverside - how are you feeling???? all better yet?:flowerforyou:

chantybear

I am all ready to go, but the bus comes in like a half hour...:grumble: I know it will all be worth it though I am excited, I have wanted to try aqua fit for so long!! My mum and I are going snow shoeing tomorrow (she had the idea, and there was a beginners seminar/class thing) yay I love knew things!

Hope everyone is having a good day!!! In the words of BodyBreak 'keep fit and have fun!'
