Hay everybody,
I'm back again. I sort of took the last two days off......... You know how holidays go, food and family, and more food and friends and even more food. :indifferent: :indifferent: I tryed to be good. So much for the almost lb I lost last week. :frown: So this morning I got up early and hit the tredmill and really pushed it. By the way congrats chipper on the mile, thats awsume. I would love to be able to do that again. 20 year ago before husband and kids. I use to run 3 miles almost every evening. Now I can't even go a block.

Welcome to the newbees.

Jenny you got your wish. But I felt bad for Laura. Well I need to go do 20 pushup before bed. I havn't tryed those in years. this will be fun. I wonder if I can still do them????????
Maybe I should try 40?
:happy: Crystal your daughter on their bikes are so cute.
Connie

CrystalOKeefe

Thanks Connie!! :flowerforyou: Yeah those pushups are killer!! But glad your Back!!!

Oh No Mina should we be hush hush so you dont know what is going on with the show? Last night I was doing jumping jacks squats jogging in place doing anything to keep my heart rate up to burn some calories during the last half of the show!!!
I would love a bike or eliptical!

Jenny its been quiet around here without you!

Well only 2 days till weigh in and I peeked today to see where I was ARGH I guess I wasnt so good... up 0.8 lb which could be water weight or just today is a bad day But I am gonna bust a move today !! Hopefully it will be nice today so I can take the girls to the park or something! Maybe get Cali to take her bike and Maeve in her car that I have to push and we will walk the trails !!

Have a great day ladies !!!

Haha! Don't worry! I watch online... I don't think I could wait 3 seasons to get updated. But it nice to rewatch the old seasons too.

I just watched an episode now, while eating dinner. BAD! But at least I only ate half of what I initially intended to eat. Biggest Loser = Appetite Suppressant? Who knew?:huh:

KZOsMommy

Hello Ladies :happy:

I watched the Biggest loser last night while doing my push ups, squats and some weights. It was a good show. I do feel bad for Laura and am really glad that Kristen stayed! I want to see someone from Bob's team win this time!!!

I am going away on Sunday until tuesday with my kids. I am so nervous about the whole food thing. I think I am going to bring my dressings and eat salad and eggs with veggies lol. I just really do not want to blow this! We are going to meet up with my parents and I know they are going to be eating out ALL the time. So here's to hoping I stay good!!!!

Hope you all have a great day!!!

whoopsie doopsie I meant filipe! :noway: Silly old jenny

Whew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was afraid someone would spoil it for you!!!!

CrystalOKeefe

OMG!! I cant believe that Laura had a fracture !! HOLY !!! Wow .... i think they did right by sending Laura home with her injury! Kristen is a bigger threat BUT they did the right thing as people with feelings not game players !!

CrystalOKeefe

Welcome Gloria !!! So glad that you found us !! Woohooooooo !!!

*Happy Dance*

:flowerforyou:

jennyeckel

hey there! I totally agree crystal!!! i was so surprised with Ron. I have never heard him swear and he did! He was so concerned about Laura going home to get better and her NOT goign through the surgery he had! That brought up my esteem for him a bit!

I have had a great day, walked 4 miles, did my weights and crunches plus pushups and then worked in the yard for like 3 hours before I picked up Saul! Holy Batman does raking burn cals!!!! I got quite a bit done so i felt pleased! Now on to the housework:noway: How does a house get so messy when you aren't home???? It is a mystery to me!!:ohwell:

The only thing that I didn't like about last night was that there was not ENOUGHT SHOTS OF BOB :blushing: :sad: Man you would think the show was about the contestants or somethign......:laugh: Okidokiey there is a grapefruit that is just calling my name for a snack and then off to the kitchen to do dishes and supper....

talks to you ALL later!!!

Sorry I haven't had time to add messages to the spreadsheet!! :frown: I haven't had much time the last days to be on my comp. Will be around more though!!! So I am going to do a message here for everyone....

YOU GIRLS ARE AWESOME!!!! LOOK at YOU!!! the spreadsheet looks just wonderful!!! *pouts* There are few though that haven't been on. EMILIE!!!!! MELONI!!!!!! JENNIFER!!!! KIMM!! CHRISTAAA WE MISS YOU!! COMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE BACKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK :sad: :sad: :sad:

Sandy- Go work out it will help you feel better! Knock on wood this winter I never got sick. My family was sick but every time I started to not feel well I forced myself to work out and it always helped me feel better! Hope you get to feeling better soon :flowerforyou:

Crystal- Have fun today! Your girls are so darn cute

I have decided that I need to not work out so much 6 days a week. So I have decided to work out 4 days like crazy and then on tuesday and thursday I am going to do ab work out and that is it. I did a 20 minute turbo jam exercise yesterday and did not even break a sweat and I was working hard. Thought maybe I have been working out to much lol my body wanted more. Maybe it will help me loose some weight too. I don't well see how it works. Off to a field trip with my son and his preschool class!

Forgot to add I measured my waist this morning and when I first started working out I was a 41 1/2" waist, a couple of weeks ago I was 36" and today.................32"!!!!!!

Have a great day!
Amanda

AMANDA!!! WOWEEE woman, that's quite some inches lost! That's amazing, congrats! :drinker: I wish I could see some. I know I have lost inches, clothes are loser but the measuring tape says the same thing. How is that possible? I think most of my inches have been between my boobs and my waist though I didn't include those measurements just the normal chest, waist, thighs, etc.

I am SO impressed. I'll work extra hard with my Turbo Jam tonight, thinking of your incredible success! :drinker:

jennyeckel

hey wow somehow I missed amandas post about the inches....HOLY HANANDEESSS woman!! that is just sooooooooo incredible!!! BIG PAT ON BACK FOR THAT!!!

what is turbo jam like? Is it complicated or hard? just curious...DONT WORRY I would NEVERRRRRR give up my bob *wink wink*

I think that you are doing super duper kathy! Maybe you need a new tape measure

I am beat. who knew that raking used muscles that I didn't know I had...come on I excersise like almost every day and BAM i am sore from just raking for an hour or so....it must be some sort of cruel joke I say a cruel cruel joke:sad: well I might be just a tad dramatic but I am kinda sore!:bigsmile: well i suppose I should finish up my hubby is going to be home soon:bigsmile:

girls keep it up!!!!
jenny

KZOsMommy

Awwww Thank you Ladies! I have to say I owe it all to Turbo Jam and TBL. Before I signed up here I NEVER had watched my calories.

Kathy- I think that once you do turbo jam a lot I bet those inches will come off fast! It is a GREAT workout. I LOVE the cardio party it really kicks my butt!

Jenny- I bet you burned a lot of calories doing that raking. It uses so much muscles in your arms and back!


I am not looking forward to getting on that scale on Friday! I am feeling so fat (TOM is coming on sunday). I am just going to work extra hard tomorrow at my last chance workout and hopefully it will help!

Have a GREAT night ladies

Amanda

KZOsMommy

Thanks Jen

I did TBL Bootcamp 1,2,3 this morning. Had LOTS of running to do this morning. This afternoon I am going to do Level 2 (MAYBE 3 instead) of the 30 day shred, 20 minute Turbo Abs and then tonight it is TBL yoga 1,2 (and we will see if I attempt 3) plus the push ups. By then I think it will be time for a good nights sleep lol.

Tomorrow the kids and I are going to the zoo for most of the day. It will be great walking as our zoo has LOTS of BIG hills!! May take a break and use that as my exercise for tomorrow

Have a great day!
Amanda

sanifrey

Amanda - You look amazing! What an inspiration you are! And, those workouts, can I just say HOLY CRAP!!

Jenny - Your last chance workout plan sounds great!! You can do it!!

Crystal - Like the treadmill isn't bad enough but you go ahead & put yourself in a sauna suit too!! CRAZY!! OH ya, forgot to tell you, I gave out your email to a friend from another BL thread that I'm on. I think that she'd really like it here! Keep an eye out!

May our scales all be friendly this week!!

Speaking of scales, Walmart finally has my digital food scale in! So, I gotta make a trip up there & get it! Can't wait to try it out! I do wish that my oldie was in working condition because it would've been great to compare! Oh well!

MY last chance workout - I did BL Cardio today, then 50 J&J's then up & down the basement stairs for 5 sets, 50 more J&J"s & back up & down the stairs 5 more sets!!

Have a great day!!

Gotta run! The baby wants my attention!

OMG! :noway: I cannot believe how much you work out! You're my hero!! :drinker: How many calories do you burn a day? I try to burn between 500 and 600 and I feel good, on the weekend when I have more time I sometimes burn 800 but you must be way over that or maybe you're just so fit you have to work out that much? Whichever it is...YOU ROCK!

I don't have any kids- unless you count my puppies- which I do! :bigsmile: On 2/28/09 - I was at my heaviest at 240. I'm now down to 212 as of today.

Hello! I'm Christy! I would love to join with you guys and gals for this! I am going to get the biggest loser DVD tomorrow! And I wanted to share that I have lost 4lbs this week after going off the diet deep end in jan and gaining alot:sad: But also I must let everyone know I am 7 months pregnant but with the support of my doctor They gave me the go ahead to start!!!! Heres to a new us!:flowerforyou:

KZOsMommy

Welcome Gloria and Christy (Congratulations on the new baby!!) !!! You have just joined a GREAT group of ladies!!!

Thank all so much for compliments!!! I would out a lot. I am completely addicted. I do not do them all at one time. I do some in the morning, one in the afternoon and then one in the evening. I have tried to cut down but I just can't. I don't feel good enough if I don't work out a lot.

Kat- With the workout that I did today I burned 1175 calories (about) I need to get a HRM.

In the afternoon my kids work out with me or they are doing their reading time on the couch while I workout. In the morning and evening my husband is here so it gives me time. I do not always burn that many calories it is usually about 600-900. I do not eat my exercise calories sometimes I dip into them but do not eat them all or even half. What do all you ladies do about your exercise calories?

Amanda (aka The Machine lol)

Then tonight was my daughters track meet. I plained to walk in-between her heats. Well it rained and turned to snow. the Kids kept running. But I chickened out on walking. We came home cold and wet. and I just wanted to go to bed.:yawn: but after seeing all your workout. I think I need to get on the treadmill for about the rest of the night. :sad: :sad:

Hey girlsssss!

I just want to share with you what happened to me today... I woke up with this pain in my back that's been bothering me all week. So I skipped my usual Shred morning routine. I had an appointment with my doctor and he had the results from an X-ray that I did the other day.

Initially, he thought that I might have kidney stones, but the x-ray was clear. So upon closer inspection, he thinks I just pulled a muscle in between one of my ribs - possibly from mopping my floor so vigorously on Saturday (that's when I first felt the pain). Then I might have aggravated the situation by working out and lifting weights.

So now, he's fortified me with painkillers and told me to lay off the strenuous exercise until the pain goes away. :sad: What's going to happen to my 30 day shred and my barry's bootcamp!!!???

He said no weights and running/jogging. So I'm ok to walk and elliptical trainer. But do you girls have any suggestions for toning? Ab work? I really don't want to stop working out but I'm ok to do it easy.

Mina

PS I was the first to weigh in since Singapore is a couple of timezones ahead of the US Good luck to everyone!
