Lost 3 members this week but that won't keep US down!

Here's how the standings are this week:

Coming out swinging this week is TEAM PURPLE!!! You guys lost 13.4 pounds this week and completed your challenges a total of 35 days. Your main star, and overall biggest loss of anyone this week, was sakus32 with a 4.5 pound contribution. Great job!!!

In second place, TEAM PINK with a 7.9 pound loss. You completed the challenge a total of 44 days. megan_mae had a 3.6 pound loss, NICE!

TEAM GREEN came in third place this week. You had a 6.6 pound drop and a total of 35 challenge days met. There was a TIE in team winners, at 2 pounds each we give props to nikip6454 and leamatthew. Way to go!

In last place is TEAM BLUE! You guys lost 5.5 pounds and met the challenge 27 total days. Your team champion this week was hope228 with 3 pounds. Awesome job!

I'm super proud of the work everyone's putting in, despite being sick, traveling, busy, etc. You guys are all rock stars! :love:

Questions this week go to:
MON: emd0019
TUES: lwdllc
WED: sarah61587
THURS: totustuusmaria
FRI: hope228

Our challenge this week is a double whammy. You need to log at least 30 minutes of exercise a day AND your meals need to be balanced! (Balanced meals meaning 1/2 veggies, 1/4 complex carb, 1/4 lean protein...)

We're nearing the end of our challenge so I need some feedback from you guys. In a PRIVATE MESSAGE, let me know if you are interested in doing a Round Two after this round ends. Also, let me know what you have liked/disliked about the challenge, what you would change for future rounds, anything to make Sexy in Six better...

I also have had a member ask about a recipe swap between members so we can have a broader database of meal healthy ideas. If you guys are interested, email me and I'll organize it!


You guys have been fantastic the last month. Let's really hunker down and finish with a bang! At the end, I am going to announce a team and an individual that has lost the most. Let's make this count!!!

    Monday QOTD: Do you have pets and if so what kind? If you don't have pets, if you could have one what would it be?

    I know this is a weight based thing but we all have lives outside of this website and I was just wanting to delve into peoples outside life.
    I have a 4.5 yo male weimaraner named Sarge and I have a 19 yo Quarter Horse gelding being used in a collegiate equestrian program named Doc.

    My apartment only allows animals that live full time in boxes so just fish for us! We have 2 goldfish named Alex Guarnaschelli and Geoffrey Zakarian, a black moor fish named Ted Allen and a platy named Fireball. We don't like Fireball as much haha.

    My hubby and I want to have pets when we stop procreating and use diaper money for dog/cat food. I want a little kitten, maybe a calico or an all black cat and my hubby wants a little pug (to be named Otis).

    I don't have a pet and to be honest am quite petrified of alot of animals...yes, it's a laugh really, but to me it's a real fear after being bitten a long time ago.

    Sooo...if I do have a pet, it might be a fishes in a tank, and the small cute ones. :P

    I have a cat called Lily. She is a little bit overweight , it has to be said! The thing is she eats here and then she seems to be able to wander around from house to house making out she's starving at different neighbours' back doors. They seem to fall for it every time. A lesson for all of us here!

    Congrats everybody! I've lowered calorie goal again after taking it easy for a bit, and I'm ready to hit this week hard! Bring on the challenges!

    Monday:
    I have no pets this second because I'm moving a ton doing college and internships and such. I had cats growing up, but can't wait to get a dog! My fiance will get a collie, and I'm going for a German Shepard mix/rescue of some description. I can't wait! It'll help me put off the baby itch for just a little bit longer... ;D

    GO PINK! We totally rock 2nd place, but next week we will OWN 1st place! :D

    Monday:

    I have a big fat Beagle named Sammy! He is 7 years old (turning 8 in October). Everybody teases him about his weight, but he's not self-conscious about it. I call him my Fatty! I love him sooo much and he has big floppy ears that I absolutely LOVE. I used to have a parakeet named Daisy, but she died in March. We had her for 11 years; she was a damn good bird. In the future I want a Dachshund, they are so cute and small. And maybe another bird, like a Cockatiel. =)

    Good job Purple!

    And, Heck Yeah Pink Team!!!!! We will get this next week!!!!

    Great challenges...and for me, those ARE challeges!!! I know I don't get my veggies in consistently. This will be a hard one for me, but I will make a point of going to the store tomorrow and getting some portable veggies (I do Home Based and outpatient therapy, Eating habits are haaaarrrrdd when I'm going from house to house doing counseling!!!! This is a new adventure for me professionally, so I'm learning...It's too easy to get into the old Grad School habits when I'm always on the go. And, i'm sick...but I will do my best to log exercise daily!

    Monday QOTD: I have 4 fur babies. I have 2 cats, Bailee is 10 and she is my 26 lb Holstein Cat! lol. Singer is 5, and she is a grey and white petite kitty. And I adopted my hubby's dogs...Lupe is a 4 year old black and brown full sized chihuahua (and she is a demon!) and Bailey is a 6 year old Beagle/Huskie mix. They are all fighting for their place with me today bc I'm working from home due to this nasty sinus/respiratory infection.

    I haven't had any pets in 8 years, thanks to moving around, lifestyle, etc. But when the kids are older I'm definitely getting another cat!

    Good job this past week everyone! I'm finally home from my travels, so I'm looking forward to getting back to normal!

    I don't have any pets. I have a 2 yr old boy and I'd be afraid of him jumping on the cat or something.

    Monday QOTD

    I have 2 bassett hounds Lily and Bonnie, and 2 cats Smudge and Calvin (aka FREAK) This is the first time in 20 years that I do not have my own horse, but financially the best decision I could have made, I ride professionally, so I'll let their owner's pay their bills from here on out! My last horse will actually be competing in the 2012 Para Olympics in London with his new owner. He lives in Canada now and has competed in england and california since I sold him :))

    I cannot imagine my life with out animals - oh yeah I have a ginger *red haired *husband too, Does that count??LOOL

    Great question!!

    I have a 2 1/2 year old yellow lab named Kona. She's the best...just a ball of energy and love! It always gives me an excuse to get some exercise because "Kona needs it." haha.

    Also, I have a 7 year old parakeet named Bubbles...Bubs for short. Bubs was actually raised by me from an egg so he's really tame. He's literally been with me his whole life! Quite the talker too..."Hi bubs," "bubby good boy" and "hi joey joey joey joey joey joey" (my dad's name is Joe) to name a few!!

    ok MY turn~ Tuesday QOTD : Since food related rewards are contradictory to what we are trying to achieve - What are some ways that you can reward yourself if you have reached a goal or simply had a good week?

    PEDICURE!!!!!!

    I have no pets as my parents are allergic to pets. My boyfriend and I would like to get a dog once we move in together though, something fluffy haha

    I reward myself by going out shopping or just relaxing and watching a movie. Also I would treat myself by going out for a meal with my boyfriend
