Black Team Challenge Week 5:

:grumble: I mean...Ummm...I'll try. :flowerforyou:

Sorry the hours are so weird, Andrew! That's quite the shift.

OMG...no scale! WTH! This is going to be really hard for me. My husband is going to be thrilled. I'm going to give it to him to hide it so I'm not tempted to use it. I can hardly control myself. As it is I try hard to weigh only once per day and that is a far stretch sometimes...My week was hard. I couldn't seem to loose any weight. I guess I'm looking forward to a worry free week!

LORI LORI LORI LORI....ARE YOU HEARING THIS ???? A WEEK WITHOUT OUR SCALE??? WHAT IS BATMAN THINKING.....I DONT KNOW...

I think this is gonna be the hardest of them all, but andrew I an with you, I so need this and so does Lori....

I really enjoyed my day with my babies I will pay for this but still showing a 2 pound loss....today was my only day off so I so needed to do something with my babies..


Well everyone I am off to bed gonna get up at 420 and hit the gym for 90 minutes...

Have a good day and thanks again andrew I needed

Tamara I hear you on this!!! My husband gets so mad at me cause I rely on the scale to what I eat for the day. I hope I can make it.

Uh huh, what she said! :grumble:

Okay, very funny. I gave it up last week. That'll teach me to not do that again. :laugh: But, I'll do it. I will do it because the boss said so. And, no weighing on Sunday either like this past week. Oh my poor family and co-workers. They are not going to have a good 7 days with me.

Thanks Andrew,
You really hit home for me with this weeks challenge. i must admit I'm releaved:happy:

I heard loud and clear. I was waiting for this one, I figured it was coming. It's time. I know it. I can do it. I will do it. I think it will be good for me right now. I WILL do this challenge this week. I bombed last week, sad, cause it was up to me what to give up.

I worked really hard today to make up for my days with my head in the clouds and my hand in the sweets. We'll see what tomorrow brings. I already promised myself I will not get discouraged, no matter what the scale says. I will move forward, continue to eat well and exercise.

Good Evening Black Team- Good Morning Tanya! Definitely up for this challenge..... Shuntae, it just started snowing here. I know we aren't going on 5 days of snow days like some of you:noway: but I have a few in the house who are really praying for a snow day. After watching 3 hours of LOST I don't believe any homework got done. "Mom, I'm a Senior, it really doesn't matter...let me stay home tomorrow" :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: I never thought I would say I am ready for her to go away to college...I know I will eat those words.

Off to my LOST blog....Have a great night!

Thanks Andrew,
You really hit home for me with this weeks challenge. i must admit I'm releaved:happy:

Jan - Your kids are gorgeous!

Thank you!!! You are very kind.

Oh, you guys/gals are WAY TOO FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is a GREAT GREAT challenge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would NEVER have thought about it like that but, it is true....on the biggest loser, I always wondered why they were so scared to weigh in....they have NO idea what their week has been like!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am excited and nervous!!!!!

I NEED HELP ALSO.......going on a FIRST date this Friday!! I don't know what the hell to wear, what the hell am I going to eat for supper, what the crap we are going to talk about.......oh my GOODNESS!! I am so nervous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :noway: :noway: :huh: :grumble: :ohwell: I met this man on Eharmony actually and we are meeting for the first time this Friday and I am SOOOOOOO nervous.....we have been chatting for over 2 months now, taking it slow, then we moved onto the texting and have talked on the phone a couple times and now we feel as though we should meet. Things are going GREAT!! But, that first time seeing each other thing is making me go CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :sad: :sad: :sad:

Anyway, I will keep you all updated but, any first date advice??????????????????????????????? :smokin:

P.S. My friend asked me to go to Bar bingo with her yesterday and I told her I was going to workout instead!! I went to the gym with a smile on my face and woke up in the morning feeling AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love this team!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :happy: :happy:

Morning everyone, well I weighed myself this morning and am happy with my weigh in, although could all be due to the tummy bug!! Got a morning off from children, so I am going out for a coffee with a dear friend that is having a very bad time - if any of you could spare a thought for her then please do.

No scales for a week?? Well that might upset the litle ones (they weigh themselves after me, it has become a game!) but they will have to detox like mummy :laugh:

Bry - I can't remember my last first date, but will say just to relax and chill, and congrats on going to the gym instead of the bar

Marla - your house sounds completely hectic but full of love, its really great to read about

Amanda - hello

Jan - I love your picture, I wish I could get a nice picture of my boys together but all they feel like doing is thumping each other :huh

Donna - morning!! Where is your daughter coming to in the UK? It sounds like fun, when I did trips with the school the furthist we went was to Wales :grumble:

Lori - hope that you have warmed up, and drunk some fluids. Did you say how your boys did in the football?

Everyone else, hope you have a good day and good cooking. Check in later

Good weigh in morning team!:laugh: Wow, thats what Wednesdays have become to mean for me the past year lol. I havent gotten on the scale yet, but will soon.

Thank you for this weeks challenge Andrew. This one is eezy-breezy for me (sorry my scale addict teamies). I only get on the scale once a week anyway and thats Wednesday mornings. I admit that I fear the scale:ohwell: , but I never never never get on it before then. Im not sure why really? I think it actually does have something to do with what Andrew was saying about letting it control our moods, how our day goes, etc. Whatever the reason, I just dont do it.

Well, I have alot of grocery shopping to do today:grumble: . I hate shopping for groceries. I dont mind other shopping so much, but hate doing the groceries. It just isnt any fun to me lol.

Oh, I wanted to mention that my BFF and I have started talking again. Nothing major, just talking about what happened. I think we might just get through this? Its scary to type even...to say we might get through it. I have always trusted her 100% without question and she shook that trust to the core...it somewhat even sounds a bit childish to me to say, but Im afraid to trust her again. We'll see what happens. Thanks you guys for all your support.

Well, a big hello to everyone!! I wish everyone a very happy day:flowerforyou:
