T.H.E. (Trying Hard Everyday) Team!! ~~~> Week 14

just read this in another thread; had to share

Subject: Important Information

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

The Centers for Disease Control has issued a medical alert about a highly contagious, potentially dangerous virus that is transmitted orally, by hand, and even electronically. This virus is called Weekly Overload Recreational Killer (WORK). If you receive WORK from your boss, any of your colleagues or
anyone else via any means whatsoever - DO NOT TOUCH IT!!! This virus will wipe out your private life entirely. If you should come into contact with WORK you should immediately leave the premises.

Take two good friends to the nearest liquor store and purchase one or both of the antidotes - Work Isolating Neutralizer Extract (WINE) and Bothersome Employer Elimination Rebooter (BEER). Take the antidote repeatedly until
WORK has been completely eliminated from your system.

You should immediately forward this medical alert to five friends. If you do not have five friends, you have already been infected and WORK is, sadly, controlling your life. Get help immediately.

Ok, here is the right way to post that:

ok, obviously, I am like a manic, hyperactive puppy right now. First, let me say that last week when I had only lost 1.5 lbs, I was a little discouraged, because it was a really good week, and I couldn't figure out why. Hard to remember all the rules when you race out and hop on the scale, knowing that you have been good, and therefore you expect a reward. Of course, the rule I am refering to is the rule that your weight can fluctuate as many as 5 lbs one way or the other on any given day. So, I am pretty sure that my 7 lb. weight loss has more to do with pounds from last week swinging back into place.

Or, it could be the chocolate milk.......... :laugh:

Lisa, I am so proud of your new attitude! Yay! One pound to overweight! I can't wait for that day. (Actually, I am pretty excited to move from morbid ot obese. Small pleasures, right?)

Jamie, I just noticed that your starting weight is my goal weight. And you are 5'9" and I am 5'10.5" So, possibly, I will have to adjust my goal weight... :grumble: when I get a little closer. Oh well. Right now, thats not really a pressing worry. More importantly ... CONGRATS!!! You are on the move!

Same for you chocolate milk girl! :smooched: Can I just say, thanks for having such a great attitude all the time!

Prayerful mom - wahoo! Look at you! AND, thank you so much for your encouragement! I was pretty darned excited this morning too!

Sheila, GET BETTER!!! Don't make me come and swat you in the back of the head, thus landing you in a pool of freezing water!

Renya - that was a pretty lame joke, wasn't it! Hey, you are doing great! You are gonna get in your groove. It takes a minute to find. Lets win these biggest loser contests we are in!!!

Adopt4 - great job! When can we get together to celebrate!? I am trying to think up some funny response to your beer and wine rx, but everything seems like a downer. Anyway, I will be the designated driver.

Anita - get on the treadmill girlfriend! You will be happier once you have gotten your blood movin' and your endorphins hoppin' :happy:

Manda, soundds like you did a great job in the face of temptation and a disruption of your schedule. That always throws me way off. Yay!!

Hey, I almost forgot - Erin, you seriously buff guy - what in the world are dragon flags? I am new to this exercise thing. (OBVIOUSLY!) So, I have exercises called things like wall away (Vertical push up) and ball squats (squats with a ball between me and the wall to act as a sort of ball-bearing). Thanks for the info in advance, and welcome to the group.

All you all who haven't come to the party yet, come on - time to get up and dance!!

hi can i join :flowerforyou:

Nope, you can't join... we don't need no stinkin badges! J/K :laugh:

Good morning all! And Lulu-- HELLOOOOO!!! :bigsmile:
I didn't lose any weight this week, but I'm not that surprised or down about it, which surprises me! :laugh: I know that I haven't been as active as I need to be, so I can't be upset about it...only vow to do better next week.

We had a brief lapse of rain yesterday, about 4 hours and was able to get our yard mowed...but it's raining again, and I think it stinks :sad: I'm tired of rain, makes me feel yucky and not want to be outside, not even to take my puppy out, which is a bad thing.

Tony and I are going to Gatlinburg this weekend, so today will probably be the only day I can post. Not disappearing, just taking a little trip! I should be back on Tuesday.

OH, and Kristi--I'm wicked proud of you for your 7 lbs! That's awesome!!!!

StillKristi-SMBI 66.1/ CBMI 60.5/.......down 1 full point???????

Question if you started with 66.1 and you subtract 60.5 how do you get just down 1 point. Am I missing something - shouldn't this be down 5.6 points????

WAY TO GO KRISTI - I'M SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!!!!!!!!


CONGRATULATIONS EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just got home from my weekend job and jumped on here to join the happy dance with everyone.
