Beautiful Blues Challenge Restart

HI all,

Here's to this week!

We are all doing this together, and it feels amazing!!!!!!

Cheers.

Sounds good, I hope I will have a loss.

I got this past week out of my system, B-day during the week, and my fiancee took me (surprise) to niagara falls this past weekend. Visited the falls, went to the casino, and had a great view from the Keg on the 9th floor over looking the falls for dinner.

Just say, it was bad all over, and it's done.. Out of my system. I weigh the same I did last week, so that's ok..

I had a couple of beers, and even joked saying.. "oh this is what it taste like", been a while since I had a beer.

Great job everyone getting in the weights! We are ready to start the challenge when I hear from Visualize This team. I will check their thread in a few mins to see if there is anything on there about the challenge.

tttthumper - glad your back in the game! Sometimes we just need a few days off.

j_g4ever - no more excuses! You know what you need to do! Schedule workout time and make it a priority. You can definitely do this. Also, your team is counting on you now

Tonight I have a boxing class that is sure to get my heart pumping. Can't wait! Last night I stuck to my plan at the birthday party I attended... hamburger without the bun and a salad. However, I did have one piece of the cookie cake. It put me over a bit but I'm going to take it easy with food today to make up for it.

Keep on truckin' Blues!

We have our Biggest Loser Challenge blog!!!

Since we already have our chart ready to go, I think we should just paste that to the blog.

Ok we are in it now!! Our own Biggest Loser challenge against 2 other teams!! Exciting!! :bigsmile: We can do this!!! Time to get down to business! Your team is depending on you! Let's get 'em!!

Time for a cheer: All hands in.... ready.... 1.....2......3..... GO BLUES!!!! Woot Woot!

Let's rock blue team.
I was checking out one of the other teams.. They seem to be quite competitive.

We can do it!!

Good luck, and hope we're all big losers next week.:laugh:

If it is ok, I would really like to rejoin the blue team. I have decided to get back on track. I am back at the gym and I have started to log the food. I am hoping to see some results with the additional motivation from the blue team. I have seen the scale starting to slide upward and I definitely don't want that!

I am thinking of tweeking my plans since I am soo not a morning person. I might try doing the shred plus 20 minutes of my Wii fit plus 20 minutes of my golds gym cardio for wii at night while the guys watch tv. I don't know I am still debating it.

Can you add me to the chart, pleaseeee??? :flowerforyou: :blushing: I'm at 238. Phew. I'm the biggest on the team. Eep. :indifferent:

But, I like this being accountable to the team thing ... maybe it'll make me push a little bit harder. :bigsmile: I'm off to elliptical for 20 minutes right now! I'm doing 20 minutes after work, too. Then off to the store and headed home to make a steak and a Weight Watchers recipe: candied sweet potatoes and pineapple. I'm trying it out to see if it would be a good Thanksgiving replacement for sweet potato casserole.

Would any of you be interested in posting what you ate from day-to-day? I need help with meal ideas! And critiques on what I am currently eating. Maybe?? :flowerforyou:

LET'S GO BLUE!!! :bigsmile:

I have the new chart up and running on the challenge board! Welcome dawn back to the blues! I fixed my weight and added Dawns to the new one so it is a little different...

Taradise, do you know how the challenge rules will effect new comers? I figured dawn was fine as we are just starting, but in the future if we add someone in--I would figure I would make their weight loss zero for the week so as to not effect the percentage of the team--or do they want us to close our groups??

I had a great day yesterday--I only ate two cookies which is an amazing feat. I also made fresh bread--oooh so yummy! I only ate two pieces. I felt very good!! Normally I could polish off a whole loaf of fresh hot whole wheat bread. :sick: :embarassed: I was very proud that I was able to limit myself!!

Lets keep up the good work!

Great to see some more people joining our challenge!!! I love all the motivation!!

debnu1 - I think you have the right idea about the new comers. The first week they join the challenge will be there initial weight and the loss would be 0 - to be fair. The more the merrier!! OH and I so noticed all the other teams were totally jealous of our awesome Beautiful Blues weight chart!!

Everyone keep doing what your doing!! We all know what we need to do.

Chrissy - just do what you do. We all know the weight changes from week to week.... I don't expect my loss to be big each week either. Maybe we won't always be the challenge winner for the week - but maybe we can win the overall 12 week challenge. Either way the motivation will keep us going and that's the point!

lcorrell14 - I'll send you a friend request. Feel free to check out my diary anytime.

Tonight I doubled up on classes - did a circuit training class then a boxing class. I was sweating like a crazy person!!

Let's get 'em Blues!! We can totally do this!! Every sweat drop counts!!!!

alright lady and gents I jogged one mile and walked another mile. I really wanted to jog 2 miles however my body told me to stop. 430calories gone.

Everyone seems really motivated!! Here's to us!!

Good luck everyone!!

alright i have another question. I'm starting to get a sore throat which in turn means I'm most likely getting sick. :explode: What I normally do is drink sunny D as this is the only OJ that I can handle and I drink a lot we are talking about 2 big bottles of it a day. (only time I like the crap) any hints on what I can do so I don't use as much calories however get healthy before this sucker gets too bad??

I need to stop going home at night.
I do so good until I get home around the guys.
Did not get a workout in last night my left ankel has been bothering me alot lately from my broke leg 3 years ago. will walk on my lunch today just to keep my momentum going.
