Hello Nikki and Tessa, What are you doing now to achieve your goals? You wouldn't believe this but I won biggest loser 2 years in a row. 2011 3rd place and 2012 2nd place . . . . guess what I gained it back again in 2013
Now I am working with a personal trainer that i meet once a week and I walk the tracks 3 times a week (T, TH and Sunday). My personal trainer gives me homework that I need to do 3 times when I do not see her (Monday and Friday).
It is a daily struggle for me but I am willing to give it a try as long as I need to do so!! Try and try until you succeed!

For many of us, this is a clean slate of getting back on track! For the WEEK O challenge, I thought we might take it BACK TO BASICS! Let's take this week to focus on drinking water and cooking ! I know that this is not the easiest thing for all of us to do .

Hello White Team.....
My Name is Melissa. I am a 25 year old mother of 2. I have been slowly losing weight since March of 2012 and have got about 53-54 lb off... I currently/try to work out 5 -6 days a week, working cardio (30 min treadmill sessions) and weights... I normally do Zumba on Saturdays.... My goal is to get down to "1"derland by the end of September.... That puts me at around 50lb to lose, which is a lot... but I think if I just keep my head on straight I can do it or get pretty darn close..
I look forward to working with each and everysingle one of you guys..0 -
i was working out daily but since my dad got sick (we would go to gym together and i dont drive) it is hard.I do at least 3 times a week though. I also walk outside with him. Ido zumba once a week also kickboxing i do the eliptical for an hr or an hr and a half andi do weights i try andkeep active everyday i also run sometimes but the weather has been pretty bad and im limited on that, sometimes i do dvds but i do weights too when i go to gym. i mostly focus on my diet andstick to my caloriesi avoid salt bread most milk products and processed crap but sometimes i get my sweet cravingsand just stick to my clean eating for the most part and do alot of home cooking ihavebeen WAY better at staying on track0

Nice to meet you ladies. Let's make this next 20 weeks count!0

Hey everyone, I'm Felicia University student. I go to the gym, and to some different cardio and strength classes. Let's do this!! Can anyone explain to me how the whole Biggest Loser thing works? I've seen some episodes long ago of the TV biggest Loser, but not exactly sure how it works 0
-
Update: yesterday I did 30 min on the treadmill (Day 1 of Couch25K) and then did 30 min working with weights... in that I did 50 squats... (my bottom will thank me later ) 0
-
Melissa - I am on week 5 day 2 of the C25K program..it gets easier. Trust me! LOL
Felicia - Ok I'm a huge BL fan. The premise of the show is that the contests weigh in once a week and the team that loses the weigh in has to eliminate a player. Later in the show they go individuals and then two people will fall below the yellow line and everyone votes to send one of them home. Also, during each week that have a challenge. The challenge is usually something physical but they also do cooking or quiz challenges. In addition, there are sometimes temptation challenges. Basically, the contestants are tempted to eat as many calories as possible to gain some sort of advantage in the game. Some members partake and some don't...it's their choice.
Did I leave anything out guys?0 -
Oh ok thanks for the update 0
-
Hello team,
I am so sorry but I cannot commit to a group and busy time checking updates and messages. I assure you that I am taking care of myself. I am working with a one-on-one personal trainer that checks on my nutrition and fitness. I think my accountability to her is sufficient.
Thanks to all.

Melissa - I am on week 5 day 2 of the C25K program..it gets easier. Trust me! LOL
PHEW ... that is good to know... LOL... I am doing Day 2 today after work. I did a small weight work out that included 60 squats.. I think by end of Saturday I will be unable to move lol..0 -
Hello whte team!!
I have been able to drink at least 6 glasses of water per day. I bought myself a new glass which holds 26 oz and I keep that on my desk at work. I make myself fill it up when I get in and after lunch so I drink them both before I leave work. It is so hard for me to drink water in the evenings because they are so hectic at times so at the very least I get those 2 in daily.
I have been working on my squats as well. The first day after I was so sore but they seem to be easier to do as the week goes on. I make sure that I count out loud when I am doing them, I have also started to do them when doing daily chores at home. When I need to pick something up off the floor instead of bending at the waist I do a squat to pick it up. My daughter(18 years old) says that those don't count but I say they do. Now my daughter wants to start using the mfp!! I am glad my hard work is inspiring my family!0 -
I drink anywhere from 14 to 21 cups of water a day. I do this by playing a little game with myself. I'm a stay at home mom and every time I have to get up for one of my boys or to do some other task I have to take a drink of water. It's like a drinking game without the alcohol! hahahaha. I have bottles that hold 33.8 oz of water and I just keep rotating them out throughout the day. Also, I never leave my house without a bottle of water as well. At every traffic light I stop at I have to drink.0
-
Hey guys...
I have been getting in about 8-10 glasses of water per day (except 6 glasses yesterday) ... Lately I have been getting in over30 min a day of cardio and working with weights... squats too...0 -
Thanks to those of you who have submitted your water intake tips. You guys are doing great with this!0
-
Hi Team - I will be posting our water tips later today. Also, don't forget the first weigh in is tomorrow. Please post them here or send me a private message. I will also post a reminder in the morning. From my understanding this is just to get our official starting weights since sign-ups just ended. There should not be an elimination this week.0
-
295.6 ! I'm actually down more than that, but I started with my weigh from my Thursday weigh in, so i will continue with that 0

Thanks Felicia!0

Hi Lovelies
I am so pleased with your efforts I hope you will like this week's challenges .
This is our first official week !!!! It is supposed to be still an introduction, so have fun and get healthy!
There is lbs reward for each part of this challenge
Exercise max 7 lbs
1. 4 days out of 7 of 30-45 min cardio or strength exercise sessions to be spread out during the week as it suits you best!
sessions of jogging, fast walking, cross-trainer or treadmill,Zumba, Aerobics, Dance, DVD , Gym etc.
(moderate cleaning doesn't count !!! )
1 lbs advantage for everyone who succeed to do 4 sessions!!!
2. Try something new or something you didn't do for a while - independent exercise of your choice for 30 min session at least!!! : mine for example will be trying to go to work on bike. - I would not mind to go home from work but to get there is 90% uphill!!!
If you lack inspiration, you can try swimming, clubbing (DANCING!!!), another class at your local gym, or that new DVD , take tennis rackets and go play tennis with kids in park ... or football ... I found out trampoline extremely hard :-)
1 lbs advantage for everyone who succeed
3. Best Butt Exercises For Women: Squats
Squats are one of the best butt exercises you can do to build a nice round booty and sexy legs. Make sure you keep your abs tight, back straight, weight on heels, and sit your butt back.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSYv5lQo4yM
can you make at least 350 a week ? E.G. 50 +60+70 +day rest +50 +60 +70
1 lbs advantage for everyone who succeed 2 lbs for most squads
4. Don't forget to take a day rest! Your body needs it.
5. For the WEEK ONE FOOD challenge, I thought we might still keep it BASICS! Let's take this week to focus on fish and cooking fish - let other inspire you with their recipe ! I know that this is not popular choice but girls (as far as I know we don't have a man in our challenge) come on it is good for us - and for mums especially we need to introduce fish into our kids diet - and I am not talking about fish fingers .... girls all fish counts and vegetarians try Sea Vegetables. Try to eat fish 2x a week. (1 lbs advantage if you manage to eat 2 portions of fish)
Keep drinking water - even if it is not our topic!!! I hope you picked up some good tips.
cooking challenge
Also, I will be doing Cooking Challenge for week 0. It will run from today april 21th - april 28th . I need the pictures and recipe of 1 dish you were cooking this week for yourself . I will be judging on healthiness, calorie amount and presentation . It can be idea for lunch (pack lunch) , dinner , breakfast or even Snack!!!
You must send picture + recipe here http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/965956-place-to-share-fish-recipes-1st-week-cooking-challenge The requirement this week is you must have fish in this meal.
Best recipe will get 2 lbs advantage for week 2 weigh in and everyone who post recipe will get 1lbs
To sum it
4/7 sessions of exercise 1lbs advantage
1 session of something new - let us know what - 1lbs advantage
350 squats - 1 lbs for the everyone who manage to do 350 squats an extra 1 lbs for 1 person with most squats
