I am NOT weighing in tomorrow, there was a 6 pounds weight gain this am. I hate this, water, water, water, it is so bad I felt like I was lead in the pool this morning but I was so full of water that I didn't sink. :grumble: :grumble: :grumble:

Marla, hope you are okay!!!

Beth, love you new pic!

Andrew, what great dedication! You should be proud, I am proud of you!

janiebeth

Way to go Andrew - great role model for dedication to the cause..

Amanda - hang in there, it will get better - just keep swimming, swimming, swimming - just keep swimming (channeling my inner - Dora). I felt the same way in the pool on Monday after 3 weeks out of the pool - just like a brick, and the end of the pool kept getting farther and farther away :grumble: :grumble:

Did anyone pick this week for a challenge?

Beth - I love your ticker! Your boys are adorable!

Andrew - Go you! Good last chance workout. (P.S. - Since they're your kids too, the above applies to you also. :laugh: )

Sam - Does your little girl get her cheeks pinched a lot? Adorable!

Marla - When you get back to us and our thread, we've been thinking about you and hoping everything is okay.


I finally lost! For over the last week, whenever I weighed myself (a billion times a day, give or take a few) I was up to where I was like 4 weeks ago -- very discouraging. Today I was finally down!

Tonight Dave and I are going to Dave & Buster's. I'm getting the spinach artichoke dip appetizer as my meal and we're splitting a vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup and chocolate chip cookie thing for dessert. So I really gotta work out today so I'm not over my calories too badly. Later black teamers!

P.S. Who has this week's challenge? I passed last week and didn't have any kind of bar until this morning when I had a breakfast bar!

hey guys! thanks so much for the pic compliments, i'm just trying to keep up with all you hotties! i did well continuing to stay away from the wine this week. hubby was away last night and i REALLY wanted to buy some, but i resisted (plus i would've had to dress the kids and pile them into the car in the rain). now i seem to have extra calories at the end of the day before i even excercise! i even lost 2 lbs this week, so i'm really gonna try to keep the wine to a once in a while thing. have a good day, everyone and i hope all your weigh ins are good ones :drinker:

3babybeans

Beth - WTG!!! You should be proud of your loss! WOO!

Lori - YAY for your loss, too! WOO HOO!

Hi, Roni! How was vacation?!

Amanda - I feel your pain. My body is revolting as of lately, too. :grumble:

I had an 800 cal day at the gym! Feelin' goooood. I'm still staying away from my ugly, ugly scale. I don't play with bullies. :glasses:

3babybeans

For Marla. I hope you can check in soon!

nickybr38

What a day I had yesterday!

To update:
I still have no net. Called the phone company and they claim they had NO ORDER to install the net at my place. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. They are too useless for words.
I punched a wall last night. HOLY CRAP DOES THAT HURT.
I hurt my foot, ribs and thigh... long story, don't ask. Haha.

Anyway, Hopefully my net will be up before the week is over so I can start logging calories properly again.

Girlmom282109

so this week SUCKS for me. I gained 2 whole pounds!! WTH!!!!! I'm blaming it on muscle weight!!:grumble: :grumble: :grumble: :mad: :mad: :mad: :ohwell: :ohwell: :ohwell:

janiebeth

Geez Nicky - it just shouldn't be that hard to install cable.. don't take it out on you anymore - you are worth more than the wall and can't be replaced. Hope it sorts out soon.

:laugh: Sara - Yoda is a bada$$ muppet, but I still liked animal the best - could really play those drums..

Sam, it has to be muscle - you are working too hard for anything else.

Any word from Marla?

How about a new challenge?

Do I ask a lot of questions?

Janie

jimswmn

I take it no Marla news.:frown:

Nicky, If i was in your situation I'd be calling and biotching them out. Yes I can be sooooooo untactful.:blushing:

Sara, Loved the Yoda, I did.:laugh:

Sam, We are in the freaking boat.:grumble:

Janie, Don't worry. Ask away.

I just finished my week 8 day 2 run. We did 2.6 miles in 28 minutes. Never ever thought I would be able to go for that long.

Have a good evening Ladies and Batman!

nickybr38

Ack! I didn't punch the wall out of anger because of the internet! I punched it accidentally between performances with the choir. :frown: Basically I was trying to pull the piano into place and didn't realize the wall was behind me... and pulled HARD but my hand slipped off piano and WHAM into wall. It's all swollen even! I'm amazed at how strong I am. GO ME.

Tri_Dad

Wow nicky, I would say you are pretty darn strong! lol I'm suprised you didnt accidently hurl that piano accross the room. :laugh: I hope your hand feels better soon!

-Bobbi-Your doing well with the c25k! I'm not suprised you could go that far! your an inspiration to me.
I start week 6 tonight so wish me luck

Sam-I would blame it on muscle weight. Your doing some great work lady!

Marla-Wherever you are, I really hope you are well. We miss you very much.

:drinker:

Sorry I misunderstood. Hope you iced it..

Maybe you should consider getting a punching bag - supposed to be great cardio, and if you already have a fierce punch??

Marla - hope all is OK, darling - we miss you...

Bobbi - you are my hero - 2.6 miles in 28 minutes is awesome - keep up the good work..

Andrew - way to go with c25K - good luck with week 6 - you'll be up to 5K in no time.

I am waiting to see the chiropractor before I start again. I need to get my hip and back straightened out first before I seriously screw myself up. Should be back at it in a week or 2. Swimming like a fiend and doing gym until then.

good night black team..

Janie

Girlmom282109

not only do I miss Marla an dhope she is ok but where oh where is LYNNIE?!?!?!?!

loreeb18

There are still a few weeks left of BL and we've already decided that the black team is NEVER breaking up! So quit trying to sneak away people! :noway:

Marla - Are you okay out there in real life?

Nicky - I hope you're okay! You don't know your own strength!


Last night Dave and I went to Dave and Buster's. I worked out really hard to have enough calories for spinach and artichoke dip plus dessert. Mmm!

We wished we'd worn our HRMs though. We played some video games but we played a lot of physical games - boxing where you punch and duck, basketball, a bowling game where the ball is in place but you still spin it. We were there a couple hours and we're guessing we burned 200-300 easily.

My mom watched Harley. I love :smooched: being a mom but it's really fun to go out just Dave and me sometimes and just have fun without having to keep an eye on a little one. :drinker:

janiebeth

New challenge - hope no one minds. It was important to me..
