    Good Morning Ladies!!!

    I am off to the zoo here soon but did not want to leave with out saying Hello :smile:

    Mina- I am so sorry that you hurt your back!!! I would honestly listen to the dr and take a little time off. Just watch what you are eating closer and do the walking and the elliptical. You don't want to hurt yourself any worse and cause yourself more problems. Take care of your self!!

    Have a great day ladies!

    Good morning everyone!! I went to put in my .6 lbs of weight loss on the spreadsheet but I didn't see a spot. I'm am so technically challenged. Crystal...help??? This has been a tough week for me working out so I'm thrilled with my .6. I vow to do extra long workouts this weekend and get in at least five days next week. With The Machine in this group and can't go slacking now! :bigsmile:

    Welcome to all the newbies. This is a GREAT group so much fun and great motivators! I hope everyone has a weekend full of great choices. That's what I wish for myself, weekends are a big challenge for me! :blushing:

    Crystal, hang in there girl!! You are working so very hard & it will come!! You are doing great!! Great job on those inches lost! I hope you can find your butt! If you happen to find mine while you're looking let it know I'd like to have it back! Smaller, toner, but back!! LOL!! :laugh:

    Amanda, enjoy the zoo!! Are you wearing a HRM?? Would be interesting to know how many cals you end up burning!

    Mina, please be careful & get yourself better! I agree that you should really concentrate on your eating well & everything will fall in line. I encourage you to take some nice, long, low impact walks.

    Chipper (is it Cathy??) (I'm having a hard time keeping everyone straight - sorry) ANYWAY!! Congrats on your loss this week! You are truely an inspiration!

    Welcome to the newbies!! Glo!! Christy!! & all the other girls, sorry I can't remember the names, but I'll get cha eventually!!

    Have a great day & weekend!!

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


    Amanda (aka The Machine lol)

    Amanda I can't believe you work out that much and don't have an HRM! I love mine and am SO glad I got it, I was cheating myself out of a lot of calores burned. Not that I need them because I want to eat more but it's really fun to watch how much more efficient I get at my workouts. It's a great tool to help me know when maybe it's time to switch it up. I'm surprised at how quickly we adapt.

    Well, once again, I must bow in your presence, you are an inspiration! I plan to beat "the machine" this weekend! :laugh:

    Kat- Yeah I think in the next week or two I am going to order a HRM. I really would have loved to see how many calories I burned walking up steep hills pushing a double stroller with two 40lb kids in it for 2 1/2 hours lol. Then we went and played at the park. It got so hot we had to come home my oldest had an asthma attack at the park so we needed to rest. I have to work tonight waiting tables. So much for a day of rest :laugh: Oh and Good luck beating me this weekend :wink: I am glad that I can get ya to work out harder :smile: I am going away sunday, monday and tuesday but the hotel has a treadmill so I will be running my 3-5 miles at least twice while I am gone!

    Great job this week ladies! Keep up the great work!!!!

    Hi all!

    Thanks so much for the caring words. I did as the doc said and took three days off exercise and today I am slowly but surely getting back on track. I just finished Level 1 of Jillian's Shred. Now I'm resting a bit before I start up again. I'm going to try my Abs of Steel video next. Woohoo. Maybe some Pilates. And elliptical trainer while I'm watching The Biggest Loser season 4 marathon tonight.

    I'm also gearing up to go shopping for the week. I figure lotsa veggies and protein. My food goals this week are:

    1. Eat breakfast everyday
    2. No carbs at dinner
    3. Drink at least 2L of water a day

    This last week, I just tried to stay of Coca-Cola (which I'm seriously addicted to) and sweetie snacks, which I was able to do. Yay! I'm trying to take small steps, not big drastic changes. Hopefully, I'll be able to stick to this Get Gorgeous Programme this time.

    Can't wait to watch the BL marathon tonight. It really gets me through the week.

    MINAAAA 2 pounds awesome!! It is nice taht you are feeling alittle better!!! Just try to work into it slow!!! You are already gorgeous girl!!! It is just you want to feel it!! You are going to be able to do this!!!! mmmmmm a marathon of bob..................that sounds goooooooddddd!!!:bigsmile: :bigsmile: AWKKKK I can't not have carbs hahaha I gotta have my bread for lunch and supper!!! But you will notice a change once you lay off the coke----I was addicted to dr pepper....ohhhh yummy....seriously drinking probalby a 2 liter bottle a day and I haven' had one in 2 years.....I don't think anyways I am pretty sure I would remember!!! I had to ease into the water by adding flavor to it...but now.....I guess I toughened up and just drink it straight hahaha:laugh:

    Well yesterday girls I fell off the wagon a little. I went shopping with my sis in law (wow I got out of this podunk town for little bit) and we had....*sigh Burger King. I had a whopper junior, 4 cheese tots a small sprite (what a waste of calories) and then.....on the way home we stopped and had a reeses mcflurry....AWWWWWWW why did I do it!! Actually it was terrible about an hour after I got home I ended up getting the worst headache I have had in a long time. Hubby said that it was probably becuase of the icecream----way to much sugar for a girl whos special sweet treat is a grapefruit!!!! So after I put Saul in bed I went out and 'powerraked' for a little over an hour and burned liek 400 cals. I was movign! I still went over my cals but it worked out to be only about 160. Why do we do this to ourselves???? Will I ever learn????? grrrrr

    Emilie I am so glad that you are back on!!! I love seeing your little messages on the forum!!! I think that we have two machines in our midst....Amanda and Sandy. Yep they are doing AWESOME!!! Well actually we are ALLLL doing awesome!! Crystal....that stupid scale...I think you should just look at the tape measure dearie!!!

    Hey everyone. I am just joining you guys. I started counting calories and working out since monday this week, but had a bit of an issue yesterday. I turned to pizza and hotwings since I had a friend of mine die in an avalanche yesterday. So I ordered take out instead of buying more cigarettes which I gave up yesterday.

    I'm glad I found a group of people on here. I love the biggest loser and I am slowly adding to my collection of their workout dvds.

    My original starting weight was 222.5 and now I am at 214.0. I just started working at a gym as a housekeeper, so not only do I get a free membership, but I also get to workout cleaning while I work, so I'm hoping to get below 200 soon and never get above that again.

    JENNYYYYYYY! :tongue: Don't feel guilty about your Whopper! It's a bee-yootiful specimen of a burger. No one can blame you for not resisting. Haha! Just work it off and I'm sure you'll feel better.
    I have a question for you since you're like the resident BL expert... I'm watching season 4 now, right? And that's the season where they got 50 contestants from 50 states. What I don't get is how did the two people (Adrian and Jaron) lose more weight off the ranch, than the contestants on the ranch. The ranchers were doing like 4 to 6 hours a day and were constantly watched by Bob and Kim, and yet Adrian and Jaron were still doing their full time things and had higher percentages... Help? I'm confused...:huh:

    And welcome to Laura! I know you're going to love it here.:wink:

    Keep working hard everyone! You are all amazing people!

    Mina :smokin:
