Thank you debnu1 for such a thoughtful and through explanation. I had never heard the sugar in blood described as pieces of shard... I didn't know about that.

Marm!!! so glad you mentioned 2 oz dry pasta = 1 cup cooked pasta.... I was confused. Thought I could only have like 1/4 C cooked!!

I've always wondered the same thing. Interested to see what other ladies have to say.

Ok Blues, time for the weekend! We gotta be lean and mean this weekend for our biggest loser weigh in. The team is counting on you!! Today I am celebrating. I took my measurements this morning and I've lost all around. But most notably, I've lost just about 4 inches off my waist! What?! REALLY! Didn't know I was holding on…

lcorrell14 - I am so sorry to hear about your grandmother. I can relate. Both my dad and my grandmother have diabeties. Twice my dad passed out due to dangerously low suger. One of those times, he fell and hit his head giving him a bad concussion. It was all really scary and we spent a while in the hospital. I am…

I'm glad I'm not the only one who drinks a lot of water. I probably have about 150oz on a normal day without trying. FYI... I was tested for diabetes yesterday. Nothing. Maybe some people just drink a lot of water.

Pat on the back for team Visualize This!! :drinker: The Beautiful Blues are gearing up to take back the control!!! Look out!! haha

Go Blue!! Last night I did a step aerobic's class. Kicked my butt! I'm being a super good girl this week in hopes for a loss next monday. Today is my day off from the gym. dawn717 - ok so you ate a big meal. That's ok. One meal won't make or break you. What is important is that you get right back on the healthy path and…

Come smadag1 you can do better!! Plus we need you for the team! "The reason most people fail instead of succeed is that they trade what they want the MOST for what they want at the MOMENT."

GO BLUE!!!! :angry: Let's do big things this week! The week before Thanksgiving!!! Give it all ya got!

Agreed... week 2 is going to kick butt!! Let's attack week 2 of the biggest loser challenge!! Also... congrats to all who lost lbs this week!! Looks like dawn717 is our internal biggest loser for the week! Good job!! Just got back from a boxing class at the gym!!

I was thinking the same thing. I asked them the question. The response was... weigh in on Monday, post chart on Tuesdays. So I think we are ok. I guess it give people more time to send in their weight.

accountant_boi - is Team Visualize This weighing in on Monday or Tuesday?

Hello all. Scale didn't budge for me either. I had a big loss last week so I'm not too surprised. I'm not gonna beat myself up over it because I did my best this week and that's all I can ask for. I am feeling really good and enjoying my workouts. smadag1 - congrats on the hubby's big win $$$$$ :bigsmile: almomay - good…

Love this idea! Thank you!

Hungry Girl Blueberry Thrill - these taste soooo good!! Ingredients: 1 cup whole-wheat flour 1 cup blueberries 1/2 cup light vanilla soymilk (I used skim milk instead) 1/4 cup sugar-free pancake syrup 1/4 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Original Egg Beaters) 1/4 cup Splenda No Calorie Sweetener (granulated) 3…

Not I... but I live in England. Yesterday was crazy windy though!! Snow already?! I'm watching the Redskins game... its 70 in Maryland.

Great job at burning some extra calories!! I'm so glad you felt good after your workout. In reality, that's what its all about... feeling good and being healthy. Even when we hit our goal weights, this way of life is not going anywhere. Find ways to enjoy your new eating and exercise habits because they aren't going…

Mornin' Blues! Chrissy - neat blog! Thanks for sharing. You've accomplished so much! almomay - hope the baby is doing alright. Good for you to get in some workout DVDs!! I squeezed in level 1 of the shred last night. Still a tough workout none the less. Tonight is spin class! Keep on pushing through the weekend blues!…

I totally forgot to mention it yesterday but I celebrated my 10 lbs lost with shopping :bigsmile: I bought myself a new L.K. Bennett knee length black coat for the winter. It's too cute and warm! Found it at the famous Bicester UK outlets. Yay for 10 lbs! can't wait for something new at 15 lbs!

smadag1 - you just gave me some motivation!! I am going to a play this evening with some friends therefore, I don't have time to visit the gym. I just figured it could be a night off. But I hadn't thought about doing the 30 day shred. I can definitely fit in the 20 mins for level 1... maybe level 2 if I'm lucky. Thanks for…

I am loving all the motivation we have this week Blues!!! tttthumper - I love your mini challenge too! I don't know for sure how many cals I burned with my two cardio workouts today but I bet it wasn't 912!! Amazing debnu1!! My educated estimate is 772 cals burned today. smadag1 - good job cutting your meal in half and…

Holy Crap!!! way to make up for the beach weekend!!!! haha. Enjoy!! Definitely bring some small snacks - maybe a granola bar.

I take a spinning class several times a week. This morning I asked the girl next to me who had a HRM how many cals she burned... she consulted her HRM and replied 630 cals. Not sure if 800 to 1500 cals is realistic.

Hello Blues!! j_g4ever - I don't have cheat days either. Maybe a cheat meal but I try to make up for it with more exercise. smadag1 - great idea to use your lunch break for some extra exercise!! I'm sure the break from work will be nice too. almomay - wow master's in computer science! I bet you are ready for a break!! I…

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…

BRING IT!!! :angry:

Thanks so much Arienna!!!! Our team has all our weights and will post it soon.
