Hello to my lovely Diamonds and please forgive me for this late post! I managed to dye my hair a horrid greenish grey color that took me all night to fix! I've lived to tell about it and will never do that again!

So... DRUMROLL PLEASE!

I will begin with individual awards. Congratulations to our biggest losers from each team!

Emily lost 4 pounds this week and represents the Pink Team!
Kate (CricketKate) is down 3.6 pounds and represents the Yellow Team!
Zoe lost 3.2 pounds for the Blue Team!

Congratulations ladies! You ROCK!

The teams all did amazingly well this week, so you are all winners. However, only one team gets bragging rights and that's the Blue team with a whopping 13.3 pound loss! GO LADIES!

The Yellow Team lost 10.2 pounds and the Pink Team lost 10.9 pounds. Very close ladies, it's anyone's game!

I am missing two weigh-ins, so ladies please don't forget to weigh in! Your team is counting on you! We had a ton of big losers this week, and I want to celebrate them ALL, so here you guys are in alphabetical order!

Cburks08 - Crystal 2
Chasekilgannon - Chase 1.6
CricketKate - Kate 3.6
Cshine06 - Krystle 1.2
Dab52776 - Dawn 0.5

    Jamaica- You are probably missing Nikki, my partner's weigh-in as she was going to be on holiday for 10 days, without internet access. She should be back mid-week this week.

    Way to go Ladies!! Especially Blue team! Let's make this week even better!

    Tuesday's QOTD----What is your "new" favorite healthy food?

    my answer--I have discovered avocados. People kept telling me to replace mayo with smashed avocados. It really is good!

    Helloooooo ladies! I am home from holoiday now and pleased to be back in the challenge. Been a very difficult couple of weeks as I lost my Father to cancer and his funeral was yesterday, thanks to my partner Nicole for being so supportive before I left... I look forward to resuming our daily emails now I am back in internet contact.
    Well done to you all for the weight loss, I am slightly dreading my weigh in tomorrow, been nearly two weeks without logging calories and without the support of the mfp network, yikes!!
    Will try to catch up on all the news over the next couple of days when my feet have hit the ground!!

    Tuesday's QOTD----What is your "new" favorite healthy food?

    A lot of things have become staples in my home now, but I think the top two are string cheese and chicken breast. The string cheese is my go to snack because it's about the only cheese I'll actually eat, and it's the lowest in sugar while still keeping me full in between meals. I also love greek yogurt with strawberries, but that's more of a treat now, since it's cheaper to buy string cheese in bulk.

    Congrats to all of the LOSERS!!! You ladies are shining bright!

    Tuesday's QOTD----What is your "new" favorite healthy food?

    Hmmm... I can't really say that I have a new health food that I wasn't eating before. I love fruits, all kinds. I also have found lots of new low cal recipes since I have seriously been trying to lose weight. I make the recipes for my family, not just me, and they love them also.

    Tuesday's QOTD----What is your "new" favorite healthy food?

    Spinach-My parents were never big veggie eaters, I guess due to being told that they had to eat their veggies too many times. I hadn't ever really tried spinach. I love it!:heart:

    Oatmeal! OMG, who knew something so low calorie could be so filling? I say oatmeal is better than most meal replacement bars :-)

    Well, my favourite breakfast is reduced sugar oatmeal - love it! Fills me up for just a few calories...I also love my 0% fat Source yogurt - individual packs (100 g) are only 35 calories...perfect for 4:00 p.m. snack so I am not starving when I come home and make supper...

    Congrats to all the Diamonds!! Keep it up Ladies!

    Tuesday's QOTD----What is your "new" favorite healthy food?---- That would have to be the laughing cow low cal ice cream. I've always loved ice cream and this one is great and only about 90cals

    QOTD Tuesday: My new fav treat is a banana with a tbsp of peanut butter smeared on it. Reading the replies I am going to have to try some Laughing Cow.
