    I think I'm going to re-weigh in tomorrow morning. I'm at 150.5, so I lost one pound, which would be amazing...except I went to the gym TWICE every day (seriously EVERY day-for a total of 15 times in the past week) and didnt slip up on my calories at all (eating on average 1500/day). I should have lost close to 2lbs, so I'm hoping some of that is water weight (I had a really salty dinner, breakfast & lunch) so Ill re-weigh myself tomorrow. I'll keep you posted...

    Shredder-don't be too hard on yourself, let that be motivation to work extra hard this week! maybe weigh-in again around wednesday

    Heather-yeah thats all I need, i have the other information on a spreadsheet. btw cute picture!

    CK-Great job!

    You guys are the best....thank you for the support.
    I did get a killer workout in this morning and ran 2.25 miles and walked uphill .75 to total 3 miles and 300 cals.
    Mu new Oxygen mag arrived in the mail and of course i ripped it open and devoured it within 10 mins...you guys HAVE to check it out. Making the salmon patties tonight from one of the listed recipes. Allie- you nut:noway: ....are you kidding with all those workouts. How did you do it, where did the stamina come from. Wow...I'm happy if I get one in. Wait till your weigh in next week, i bet you'll be down 4 or some crazy number.
    Have to go guys....hugs to you all

    I'll admit it...I'm a bit crazy :laugh: but we're doing the biggest loser at work and our last weigh-in is next monday, so I've been pretty determined lately...hopefully this doesnt backfire & discourage me. I'm shooting for 15 workouts again this week (so far I'm at 4), then next week I'll shoot for wayy more strength training (P90X) and easing off the Cardio.

    9 more days until Thanksgiving...how did that happen?

    CK-thats awesome! should I take 250.4 as your weight this week or 253.4?

    Ran a 5K last night in 29 mins (treadmill, 0 degree elevation). It is amazing how much better I fell after 2 days of less and proper food, no booze, and some exercize. Now if I could just get in some meditation time...

    You ladies are doing great so far! Keep up the great work!

    Good morning!

    Last night after Biggest Loser, I completed Week 3, Day 3 of Couch to 5K and it felt great! I even added two minutes of running to the end of the workout before the cool down. I always set the treadmill at an incline of 1% because it most simulates running outside.

    I also managed to stay within my allotted calories for the day! Woohoo. But, I was up a little bit this morning :ohwell: But, at least it was only about 1/2 lb. Maybe it will come off tomorrow morning, but I blame TOM! I really need to stop weighing myself every day, but I feel it really keeps me in check. I'd rather see a 1/2 lb. as it happens than wait for the one weigh in per week and find I've gained a ridiculous amount back.

    Hope you're all having a great day!
    Heather

    I finally figured it out!!

    So here are the results after 1 week. You'll notice the amount we lost in the past week and the overall amount (which are the same this week)

    232323232%7Ffp63249%3Enu%3D33%3C4%3E%3A84%3E258%3EWSNRCG%3D325453865%3A349nu0mrj

    P.s. a negative amount is good!! That means we lost .2%

    Heather...great job on running last night! Keep up the fantastic work and I'm sure you'll be down wayy more than that 1/2 lb by monday!

    Thanks Allie for putting this together. Next time around could you add a column for gross weight lost in pounds.

    Of course you can join Stephanie!! Let me know your Current weight. Then Set a goal for Thanksgiving (which is only a week away...yikes!) and Christmas.

    Good news...I'm out of the 150's!! I weighed in at 149.5 this morning. I'm shooting for 147 on Monday which is pretty ambious but thats our final weigh-in at work and I'm determined to win!!

    Anyone have any tips on losing water weight fast?? I'd like to lose a little extra weight this weekend (to put me ahead of my competition for biggest loser)


    There was a correction done by Team Visualize This...there actually only down by .3% (not 3%), but theyre still in 1st, so lets kick their butts next week!!

    Way to go, Allie!! That's awesome. I'm really shooting for being under 200 by December 1st, but we'll see...darn turkey day. Those mashed potatoes are my down-fall more than anything else.

    In the past, I've found that drinking green tea helps me lose water weight because it has me running to the restroom every half hour!

    Good luck on your weigh-in at work! Keep us posted.

    Fantastic! I'm looking forward to contributing to the team's efforts. My current weight is 210.5 @ 3:15pm EST 11/18 and my goal for next week is to have my weight start with 20 rather than 21!

    As for quick weight loss, I find low carb/ higher protein works best, but it's hard to maintain that type of diet for long. It's best for smaller shots.
