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!…

smadag1 - great way to challenge yourself!!! I hope the extra workout helps you hop over the plateau. Let us know how you are doing everyday. chrissyh - I agree. You deserve all the praise! You inspire everyone around you. I haven't heard from the person who proposed the Biggest Loser challenge. I emailed her earlier. I'll…

I'm right there with ya! Married in Feb. 2009, gained about 15 lbs. Canary Island/Morocco Anniversary cruise late Feb. 2010!!

Reminder to weigh in today!! :happy: Today will mark the beginning of our Biggest Loser challenge! No playing around anymore! Time to get serious so the Beautiful Blue Team will be triumphant!!! :bigsmile: :drinker: Send your weight to Debnu as usual and we'll go from there. Today I am going to miss the gym due to a…

Hello Beautiful Blues! Don't forget Monday's weigh in!! I just found out the Biggest Loser challenge will be against 3 teams... not just 2. Should be interesting! Today was a workout day off for me. But tomorrow is a spin class and weight training class.... I call it my last chance workout because its the day before weigh…

Great! My team is ready to go for monday. Thanks!

RachVR6 - I always say that everything happens for a reason. smadag1 - we are human and not perfect. But you already have done the right thing - acknowledged your down fall and move on! Good for you!!! tttthumper - yup, our last weekend before our own Biggest Loser challenge starts. Not an excuse to be bad though :grumble:…

Bump.... thinking about making French Toast this weekend. Thanks!

I saw this post and thought of you... http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/3047-700-calories-a-day-and-not-losing Under eating isn't going to help your weightloss forever. In my opinion, you are out of control in a whole new way. Be careful and take care of yourself and your body - its the only body you'll ever get.

Thanks!!!! It made up for last week when I saw no loss at all. Reminds me to never get discouraged because the weight will come off with time.

debnu1 - I totally agree. Lets continue with our normal blogs and current chart. Sounds like most people are ok with moving weigh in to Mondays. It's a scary move - we no longer would have extra time to make up for a "bad" weekend. But maybe that's a good thing. Maybe we all need a kick in the butt to control food over the…

Good Morning Beautiful Blues! Hopefully you have seen my earlier posts but to remind everyone, I've entered our team into a Biggest Loser type contest with team Visualize This. I think this will be a great way to motivate us in a new way. :happy: So here are the guidelines thus far: - Weigh in is on Monday’s starting Nov.…

Sounds good! I'm excited!! :bigsmile: Any extra motivation is a plus!!

Ok sounds good. Are there any rules? Is it total body fat % of the entire team or add up everyones individual body fat %? Also, the first weigh in on Monday - wouldn't that just be an initial weigh in? So that from that point forward we can gauge the weightloss based on that initial weigh in number??

First and foremost, HAPPY BIRTHDAY tttthumper!!!!! :drinker: I hope your day is fabulous!! Enjoy the early day. Brush your shoulder off from the weigh in. Next week will be better!! sanifrey - I certainly hope that my quote helps you with temptation during camping. Watch out for those smores!! I think you an definitely…

Hey Blues!! I had my spin class last night and this evening I have a step aerobics class. Kicking butt!!! I am very happy to report a loss this week!! yay!! Congrats to those who lost and those who maintained... because maintaining is WAY better than gaining :tongue: Good job for everyone getting some exercise in!! And…

We are in for whatever you have in mind. Neat idea for some extra motivation!! Let me know what we need to do.

hmmm... I dunno. I heard that your body holds on to water during/post workout. I plan on weighing myself tomorrow AM... just finished my "last chance workout" too. Good luck with the scale!!

The Beautiful Blues Team will accept your challenge :bigsmile:

Ok... I'll respond that team Beautiful Blue accepts the challenge... see where this takes us :smile:

Arienna - I am checking with my team to see if everyone is interested. I'll get back to you ASAP! Neat idea!!

Hey did you all see the challenge set by team Visualize this: Post: So, whose up for the Challenge? "The support group I am in, 'Visualize This', wants to challenge other groups! We are thinking of maybe a 12 week challenge, sort of Biggest Loser style! We'd weigh in weekly every Monday starting on November 9. We'd have to…

Hey Blues... does anyone have a heart rate monitor? I've been considering one. Any ideas? I was just looking for something to calculated my cals burned during a workout - something simple. I hear the kind with a chest strap are more accurate.

Hello Beautiful Blues! I got in 2 servings of fruit and 2 servings of veggies yesterday. I'm planning for the same today! I'm planning on another spin class this evening. almomay - when I'm feeling tired or kinda blah, I put on an exercise DVD. That way I don't have to drive anywhere and if I really am too fatigued then I…

Hello! I live in the UK. Although I am an American... My husband and I are in the UK for work for the next 3 years. We live near Oxford.

Great job Chrissy with the 5k!!!! Congrats on your best time! Enjoy the beach!! smadag1 - yard work definitely burns the calories and makes the muscles sore!! sanifrey - love the new quote! It's so true!! Embrace the size S :bigsmile: I'll just call my Halloween splurge a "cheat" meal and move on. Life happens :tongue:

So how did everyone do over the candy and sweet treats filled holiday? I let myself down a little on Halloween. My husband and I felt so much better, we went to a small halloween gathering. I had a few to many sweets... dirt pudding and 2 donut hole eyeballs not to mention the 7 lay dip and spinach dip with crackers. Oh…

Wow! Your insurance will pay for the gym??

Did level 1 and level 2 of 30 day shred today. Tomorrow back to the gym with a spin class. Hope you all had a Happy Halloween and a good weekend!
