    Joining you guys as i`m also a "biggest Loser fan"
    weight 2 days ago when joining this board 191 lbs
    today 189.5lbs
    I`ve been working at this since the start of the year when I tip the scale at 195.5 lbs...
    On the "biggest Loser subject" I think they are taking away from the weightloss issue and becoming to "reality show" ..Iknow they are a reality show but now it`s overdone...
    I would like to see it go back to if you fall below the yellow line...And altough I can give credit to the yellow team for the hard work, I can`t stand Paul...
    I liked the pink team and found the mom feisty...
    The black team is too sure of themselve...To be honest my favs are the blue team9I think it`s Blue) The ones that didn`t know each other prior to getting on campus...I would like to see them do well.

    I am very pleased with this week. I went over my calories (by about 300-400 calories) 3 days in a row but I was working out as well. I weighed in today and I have gone down .8. It does not sound much but after my plateau at 145 I am glad that I am down to 140 and hopefully next week I will be in the 130's. I have to look hottttttttttt in Miami....

    Last week 141.4
    This week. 140.6

    I actually did not like the pink team..They kinda rubbed me the wrong way. But the black team looks a little conniving....... I think that the orange team is doing really well.

    Congrats to everyone that has lost. Keep up the good work and thank you for all the inspiration!!!!!!!!
    The ones that have not lost or are plateauing just work really hard and it will happen. Good Luck everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Next week will be a good week!!!!! :)
    Words to live by: If you do what you always did you will get what you always got!

    Another week down and still feeling good. i've been going good with my eating but the exercise took a break while I lead an overnight field trip that I'm still trying to recover from. I can tell from my mood though that I haven't exercised in a few days, I'm SO grumpy and short tempered. Comes hades or high water, I'm working out tonight!

    Anyway, now for the weigh-in part of this.

    MFP Biggest Loser start weight: 210
    Weight last week 204.5

    Weight this week:

    222 156 234 174 200 167 221 195 243 156 276 190 210 178 208 178 205 199 204 201

    203!

    Weight loss this week: 1.5 pounds
    Percentage of weight lost this week: .73

    Good luck for the next week guys!

    I have lost 1 pound and expect to lose alot next monday when I weigh in again because I have worked really hard on counting calories, as far as the show goes , it is a game but it keeps changing every yr and I dont like that much. I think the black team is competitive and most dont like them because they are so motivated to lose the weight and most think they are able to do it at home . I like the Orange team , but I didnt like their strategy this week it will get them kicked off soon , the purple team aint even trying or cheating on eating one.

    Hay one more post here.....what are all you doing to lose weight?? Just curious what everyone else is doing?


    I'm doing it the boring way. I'm counting calories and using a food journal (small notebook in my purse) and exercising. I'm trying to keep my calories between 1500 and 1700 calories, but I've been over a little sometimes and under others. I am not a doctor or professional AT ALL, but I got to thinking that if some days I eat more calories than others, that's closer to normal life, will be easier to maintain and it may help keep my body from recogizing the 'diet' and slowing down my metabolism. It's working so far but I've only been doing it for a few weeks, so we'll see.

    I just read about this yesterday....and would love to join in!! However I am a little low this morning!! Last week 130
    This week 132 AHHH!
    GAIN 2 lbs!
    I went over my cal. one day last week, but i have been working out ALOT harder than i used to.....i have been working out for an hour and a half every day!! Really depressing.....

    :wink: All that extra working out is giving you muscle girl!!! Be pleased, measure around your hips, arms, thighs etc instead of weighing now you are working out so hard, you'll loose inches but maybe gain a bit of weight in muscle. Don't worry.

    To the one in Europe that does not get biggest loser. MAN I DID NOT EVEN THINK OF THAT!
    There HAS to be a way to send this to you, I will put thought on it. MAYBE IT IS ON YOUTUBE.
    And Bigjug you are right about the black team being competitive, but the one brother is a plain
    J*** *kitten*
    THAT is why I am bothered by them.
    I Like the Blue team and want to see them do well. I did notice that this week as he said
    that he was clean shaven. :laugh: can not have that .01 % again.
    I was so proud of the orange team until this week.
    But as I said before. Watch trainer butt kicking Next week. If you thought Juillian was a BEOTCH before. WHEW, I beat you have not seen ANYTHING YET!
    I also noticed that the next biggest loser is going to be teams as well.
    and they might be starting it for the Spring viewing.
    For most of our regular shows this week or next is the last week that we are re-run free,
    So keep your eyes open for more reality shows to pop up everywhere. if you have an idea I bet the networks are buying!
    On that thought, I am going to find the Summer Movie sced interesting. Without any in the can now,
    They are going to have to take scripts from no name writers. So if you are a playwrite at Heart
    NOW IS YOUR TIME TO SHINE! :wink:

    This is my first time to post on this challenge so I'll list my progress so far and then get in line next week.

    I started 3 weeks ago at 296 pounds. I am currently at 284 pounds and lost about 8 of those last week.

    Weight last week: 189 (same as week before)
    Weight today: 187!! Yay!

    Last week was the first time since November that the scale didn't go down for me, but I knew the reason why. The week before I got off track for a week in my eating and pretty much took an entire week off of watching calories with working out about 1/2 of usual. This past week I have been working hard to return to my good routine, but I did decide to give myself 200 more calories per day. It seems to have worked okay so far, I think I'll know better next week if it's too many or not.

    About the show- I liked what the daughter of the pink team said when they were told they would have to leave -that they were the first team to be unjustly sent home. That was definitely true! The mom was an interesting character. The show would be more interesting if they had stayed longer. I think all the voting off stuff is stupid, too. They're just trying to copy the success of survivor. But just think how much more information they could give the public about the way they lose weight, workouts, etc., if they used up all of that time they devote to voting stuff in a more beneficial way! But they are just trying instead for entertainment value and advertisements. I think they could make that show so much more interesting and valuable!

    Start date: 1/17/08 --- 279.0
    Weigh in: 1/24/08 --- 281.0
    Total gain: 2pds

    Ok... I gained 2pds. :noway: but not to worry this won't stop me from my goal... :tongue: This is only a minor set back. I still feel good. I don't feel or look as though I gained anything. My close still feel lose on me. So then that's a good thing right? Maybe i'm losing inches instead..hmmm who know.

    Well good luck to everyone.... :happy: :happy: :happy:

    Could anyone give me some pointers...:bigsmile: It's not my eating, and I am exercising. Maybe it's that time when we women get that visit monthly....hmmm I'm just about due in another week. :grumble:
