    jess - I am sure you'll find it! My house is a wreck right now - I am surprised I can find my cat :wink: :laugh:

    Will exercise today...I am down 2 pounds!!! I increased my calories for the past 4 days and lost 2 pounds. I like the concept - eat more, lose weight.....what fun! Between me and my hubby we've lost 102 pounds....what a way to celebrate our 19th anniversary today!

    Leigh - praying for your gramma
    HM04 - glad to see you girl!
    dawn-if you can force yourself to start even if 10 minutes a day - you'll be an exercise junky before you know it! I feel gloomy on rest days. I love to sweat!

    alright this is what my uncle says about jump plyometrics. He is a track couch so I would take his word any day. "Plyo's are great for gaining speed and explosive excelleration. I would not recommend them to lose weight. They are too hard on the body. Even professional athletes only use them during the off-season. "

    I know this helped me a lot so i hope it helps you too.

    Hmmmm...seems like that wouldn't be for me - I am not all about the jumping around anyway - any hard move like that really hurts my chest so I take it easy of the jumps. Thanks for sharing the info

    I am glad to see that the Blue team still exists! Like several others, I have just had too much going on.

    I am setting a goal for myself to log on to the site atleast 1x per day and to record what I can recall for my calorie count. I have to start somewhere, right?

    Our house is a disaster and we recently discovered we need some MAJOR repairs. I am home from work today due to an upper respiratory infection so I am taking the time to check in with the group.

    Today, I am counting my blessings. I have access to this great website and support of the blue team to keep me mindful of my healthy lifestyle goals. I have a home and the ability to get the repairs done. My home will be much better for it in the end. My short term illness has given me the time to catch up on a few things like taxes and connecting with others. Overall, I doing pretty well today.

    I love the way Rach has checked in with her simple posts. I may try to follow suit so you will know if I am meeting my goal of logging in:happy:

    Wow...reality check.

    I've been a part of this since August of last year and I have now hit my all-time high of 203.8lbs. :sick:

    Not once have I been honest about logging food for more than a couple days and I haven't stuck to a workout routine for more than a week or so. And I wonder why this isn't working!? :frown:

    I guess I need to re-evaluate how bad I want to be healthy. :brokenheart:

    rach - you can do it....everytime you get on here to post an update - log your food! I could not lose without logging - it's too hard to figure it out on my own. I've had a lifetime of handling it myself and ended up at a whopping 239 pounds.

    Someone asked me what I was doing for my diet and I told them I wasn't dieting and told them about this site and logging everything I eat - they said don't you feel like your thinking about what your eating all the time - and I said yep and what's wrong with that obviously the other way didn't work!!

    You can do it!!

    Let's check in everyday and remind each other to log our food and to exercise!

    We can do this BLUES!

    So I cleaned "my area" next to my chair and found the watch to my HRM but no chest strap and holy crap is "my area" clean now. I'm going to keep it this way.

    So I have been at 176 for a while due to not eating like I was suppose to be and not exercising with all these sick people in my house. I weighted myself this morning because its the beginning of TOM and I'm so happy *claps* 174.8. I couldn't believe it when I saw it.

    Chrissyh- It is crazy how you can increase calories and still loose weight. I did this about a month ago and I loved the results. I lost like 3lbs in one week when I first did it.

    So I have 5lbs to go to get into my 160's I can't wait. I have been working on my upper abs and now I want to work more on my lower abs a little bit more.

    jess - I am hot on your tail....I am 2 pounds away from the 180s forever!!!

    ok not funny - just kidding!

    mrwatson - glad to see you're back! feels good to get things in order, huh?

    j_g - hope you find the strap!! I know what you mean. I feel lost without my HRM now too!!!! I think that was the best investment I've ever made.

    chrissy - you have the best attitude ever. I don't like it when people ask if I'm dieting. It feels like i have to go into this huge explanation. But, u kept it short & sweet. :flowerforyou: (P.S. - I almost can't wait till I can increase my calories and lose! :laugh: I just had a little thing pop up yesterday that said i needed to re-do my goals because of my weight loss. Now I can have 1370 calories when I could have 1480 before! sans exercise, of course!)

    hotmom - glad to have you back!!!! :heart:

    rach - I know you can do this because you seem like a very determined person. like chrissy said, start logging your food every time you get on here. log before you eat if you have to! log a whole day at a time. then go back and adjust for exercise. seriously, you've been through so much lately, this is going to be a piece of cake!! err..... diet pop cake, of course. :wink:

    sanifrey - hi! I hope you break your plateau this week. I'll cross my fingers for you. :smile:

    I think I've recovered from my mini-binge last night. I just need to figure out why the heck I'm eating like that!!!! I actually got sick today on my lunch break and didn't go back to work (it was a late lunch... 3 p.m. :laugh: I get off work at 5). So, i think maybe that was my body's way of saying... what the heck are you doing!!!! Because of that, I haven't eaten a lot today. I did work in the 30-day Shred, though. Always do that on Biggest Loser days! I have to do a little freelance work tonight for a friend, so I will miss the beginning of the show, but I will be speeding home to catch the rest and drinking coffee to stay awake!!

    I have two things each week from which I draw strength.... other than God, of course. :smile: My Biggest Loser night on Tuesdays and my Weight Watchers meeting early Saturday mornings. I'm not actually counting points - although I've thought about it - but, just going to the meetings has really, really, really helped. Everybody is wonderful and so are you guys!!!!!!!!! :drinker: :smooched:

    GO BLUE!

    You guys are terrific!

    Thanks lcorrell14 for the wecome back. It does feel good to get things in order...when you can.

    Congrats, j_g on the weight loss, clean area, and partial HRM find. I am sure you will find that strap where you least expect it.

    Rach: We are all pulling for you. I must admit that I was super impressed with your workout posts when we started this challenge. I didn't think I could ever be as dedicated to working out as you appeared. You know what to do...You just need to get on it and make it a priority. I have been giving myself the same speech to get through.

    During my most recent trials, I haven't been working out. However, I have been more mindful of my eating habits. I usually gain weight during the winter months (and times of stress). Fortunately, having this group in the back of my head has helped me to make better choices. I have managed to keep my weight within a 5 pound range over the last 2 months. I am looking forward to warmer weather as I will be more active and may be able to start losing weight more consistently.

    I can't believe what Ron said on the BL "and may you get struck down and die" Maybe he should have went home. :grumble:

    I think I probably ate too many calories today, but I did get in 30 minutes of treadmilling and then exercising. Are tunafish sandwiches good for you? Like on whole wheat bread?

    I know what you mean. I'm starting to not like him as much, because it's like he's being mean to the other players.

    I have always thought that tunafish sandwiches are good for you and I always eat them on whole wheat bread. I use as little mayo as possible. And I also use dill ralish.

    It has been so hard lately to get on here.... I have been so busy... I never thought that cub scouts would take up so much of my time. Looking forward to summer... Wont have that much to do with scouts then. Just once a month then. The only bad thing about summer is Iusually go to the gym at 8am right after I drop my kids off from school. I would still do that but my kids would kill me if I woke them up everyday to go to the gym. I can go later but I will miss my classes then. I will have to figure something out. I stillhave 2 mths to figure it out at least.

    Sorry I havent been on that much lately. I did get weight sent in at least. I will try my best to get on more often now.

    I have logged my food so far. Congrats to Rach for doing the same:smile:
    Congrats to hmo4 for getting out of bed. Be careful not to do too much too soon.

    I am feeling better today and slowly taking care of more items on the "to do" list than yesterday. I plan to add a little exercise to the routine before the end of the week as I get stronger.
