April~ Biggest Loser DVDs / Challenges (New Members welcome!

Hi everyone,
You ladies can always put a smile on my face. :happy: even after the last two days I've had. Its nice to know I'm not the only one going through a bad time.. ..... I got rearended on the free-way yesterday. :sick: Traffic stopped, I stopped but the 2 cars behind me didn't........ What a mess!.... :sad: :sad: and why me!!!!!! and to make it worse I was in a company vehical... Not my owe. so I couldn't just go home and cry:sad: about it..... After it was ok for me to go. I had to take the car to the machanc and myself to the urgent care to be checked out too.....:frown: At least that wasn't as bad as your experance was, kat........They where really good to me at the urent care no IV's and I checked out ok. but it was late when I got home and I missed all but the last 10 min of BL.......:frown: and was so stressed and tired that my fitness plans where forgotten........ :yawn: So I went to bed without even turning on my computer and loging in.... And to day with running here and there felling out reports and basic reliving yesterday..... It wasn't much better. so again no exersice tonight But tomerrow I'm taking half the day off, it's another track meet for my daughter.... so i"ll go watch her and walk some miles between her races and events......... I'll be shocked if I lose any weight this week.????
Jenny-- Hope your little one is feeling better It's hard when they'er sick and you can't do much......

Tomorrow will be a better day!!!!!!!! hopefully for us all........

what do you guys do for the last chance workout? this is my first week doing the dvds and I love it.

Crystal, your Cali is so cute!! Boy do you have your hands full!! I don't even want to think about my girls turning 6. I'm still in denial that my oldest (MJ - 3) will be going to school soon. I never thought she'd get there! I'll have her for another 2 years then she's off into the world! I just hope that I'm giving her a firm foundation to stand up for herself & to be confident & strong & all that! Okay... I can't talk about this anymore.... :sad:

So great to see you Jenny!! I just love reading your posts!! Your new deck will be so nice!! I know that you've got to be excited!! I'm sure that you can find another use for those milk crates so don't be too sad to see them go! Seriously though! We both seem to have a leaf problem!! I swear I'm raking leaves all year long! They get everywhere!! Under the shrubs, in the mulch & those stupid propeller things that the trees drop!! GGRRR!! I have little baby trees everywhere!!

I haven't worked out yet today! I had some things to handle this morning then I was waiting for Gabby to wake up from her nap! Well, she's awake now but I had to eat something!!! I've been so hungry these last couple of days. So, I ate a salad & some almonds. Now, I'm just waiting for it all to settle so that I don't barf all over the floor while Jillian punishes me!!

Wish me luck!!bb:laugh:

i am backing out of the challenge. going to be going through some rough times. DH was just fired. and he is the only income earner. just keep us in your prayers.
thanks and good luck everyone. the food will not control me......

Wow I just noticed the new tread. haha

Today I did a mile walk and tonight I want to do Cardio max cardio level 2, and BL 2 IHC for women. That's just 20 minutes but this would be a rest day for me since I did my sculpting workout yesterday. Hope I see big changes. :bigsmile

Hay everyone, :happy:
What a better day It's been ..... But I don't think I did very well for the challange thursday...... I just tryed to keep moving all day.... It's hard to walk and watch a track meet at the same time.... I kept wanting to stop and cheer for lynsey and her friends.. It was a lot of fun.. I think I cheered more then I walked...... their school took over all first.... We were all so proud!!!!!

Crystal your cali is such a cuttie....
:blushing: Maybe someday soon I'll get brave and get a picture of us on here...

Chipper I'm so sorry for you....I know It's hard when things are so uncertin...we'll be praying for you Just don't give up......things always get better...

:flowerforyou: I hope many pound are lost tomorrow for all of us!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i just wanted to let everyone know that I lost 3 lbs. this week. I am so excited.:laugh:

Good Morning Ladies!!!

Tabby- Congratulations on your 3lbs that is AWESOME!!!

Chipper- I am so sorry to hear that you are having a hard time right now! I was recently there. Great Big (((HUGS))) to you!

Crystal- Your little Cali is a cutie! Kids do grow fast don't they! We can track inches lost also if you want. I like to go by inches lost more then weight to be honest since muscle weights more then fat.

Connie- I hope that you are feeling ok. I am sorry to hear about your car!

Jenny- Thank you for always making us smile

Sorry if I missed anything! I hope all of you are doing well!!!!

Amanda :flowerforyou:

and great job everyone....

Don't feel to bad laura last week I gained 2 lbs... sometimes we go up and sometimes we go down we just need to go down more then up.... and this week I went down almost 2 lbs....:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

and maybe next week I'll get past the 155.. that's been hunting me all month.

Thats awesome!! Everybody is doing great!!!

Its like 3:30 am, and I had a girls night with some of my freinds so there was some pizza involved LOL but I won't be seeing them for like another month or so since I live far away so it was a once in a blue moon type thing. It just means that I get to work it off tomorrow at the gym. The cool thing I found out is that I even get a discount on personal trainers since I work there and I will meet with mine on Tuesday for the first time!! I am super excited.

Well its late and I am going to bed, but I check in with everyone later!! Hope you all have a great day!

Hi my little girlies!!! Yesterday was a 'heck' day! *sighs* I have come to confess my food sins....I was so upset that I my brain decided I needed a chocolate chip cookie.....of course I dont have them in my house so what do I do ? i bang and clang around with pots and pans make them! I ate a pile of cookie dough and them moved onto to the baked ones. It didn't make me feel better but it did taste good. Maybe that is the whole problem with overeating. We know that food isn't going to heal anything...I mean how could it, but the taste of the food is good and so maybe that is what we are clinging to, the 'good' that we can get. It always tastes good so if everythoing around us is bad there we are going to that constant 'good'. *sigh*

I just need to get this off my chest. You all know that I have a special needs boy, but he isn't like so special needs that he is terrible in class and stuff like that. He is good and always has someone with him to help as well. Well I have been having a problem with the art teacher not wanting my son in her class, becuase he is different, he isnt' like the other kids, he might pose a small challenge....I talked to higher authority about it a while ago and it was suppose to be taken care of. Well yesterday she wouldn't let him go to class. He is always with his class and she wouldn't let him go!!! His kindergarten teacher told me and she was also just mad as hops as well. WHAT IS WRONG WITH HER!!!!! For heaven sakes what is so earth shattering involved with kindergarten art that my son cannot be in that friggin class???? i asked if he was misbehaved and his teacher said that he haed a wonderful day. She just doesn't want him in there becuase he isn't the same as the rest! It is discrimination plain and simple. And what is so riciculous is that she of all people should feel strongly about discrimination, she is native american and is very much so against anything about discrimination and wrong doing when it involves that, but not when it comes to disabillities I guess. (I am in no way predjudice about anyone or thing.) I just don't understand!!! I got so upset that I drove right over to the highschool and marched into the principals office and sat and waited to talk to him. He was completly shocked that it happened, he had already had a conversation with her about it! He was super nice and very supportive of me. So at least that was good, but I still feel terrible anger. I don't like it at all, I am soooooooooooooo not an angry person at all, it just isn't me. i know that if you guys would meet my son you would just all love him to pieces! This is the first time that someone has ever acted this way towards him. I just feel like I could go and beat her to a pulp!!! grrrrr

So that is why I ate all those flippin cookies. and darn it, they tasted good. Thank you all for lettin me vent. I am just a mess about it. I mean he is only in kidergarten, what is going to happen as he gets older????? How am I going to be able to protect him from this?:??? He has had such a rough little life, I will do anything for him to keep him happy, safe, and content! Oh man I just have this nasty ball of anger eating away at me I could just scream!

I just want ot thank you all for being such good friends! It is wonderful to be able to tell you all the good the bad and the ugly adn you are always soooo supportive and encouraging! I think that I will work this out but I have been just frazzled all night and mornig about it!!! I need ot go for a walk or something and burn off soem steam. ooooo maybe I will do my bob...I mean do my yoga! that is relaxing.....I just need to ask myself "what would bob do?" he would go kick that lady's butt....ok maybe not but he would do....soemthing....hahaha...

YOu girls are all amazing!!!! Look at all this weight that was lost this week!!!! *hands laura a belt* You have now entered the my pants are falling off my butt and I don't need to look a plumber club! I am plagued by teh drooping of the pants as well. But I am too cheap to go buy new ones hahahaha. Theat scale never shows the inches you lose, so girl you are doing awesome! Remember last week you had a BIG number so it makes sense that you might now see too much this week!!!:happy:

WOW emilie look at you!!!! I am proud of you for sticking with it, it can be hard, and now look at you 4 POUNDS!! woooo hooo
