Hey, I'm on the same week, same day as you! Let's kick @ss together, girl! :tongue: Do you run inside or outside? I run on the treadmill at the gym. I really don't think I could do the same thing on the pavement as I do on the treadmill - pavement just seems more difficult. :noway: Well, way to go for doing the C25K -…

That's a fantastic idea, McDebbie!! Seriously, how could you NOT feel great after running around the house with your "fat" pants falling to your knees! Great motivator, IMO!! Maria, do that! And I'm simply a "plain Jane" when it comes to my personality - I just want to keep everyone as motivated as possible! Now hop to it…

Thank you, Shannon. :flowerforyou: I've lost 42 lbs. since beginning MFP in January. My absolutely beautiful, sincere 8-year old daughter asks me just about every other day how much weight I've lost now... She and I have a "pinky promise" agreement that once I lose 50 lbs., we get to have a day at the spa together. Mani,…

I'm down 1.2 from last week. And even though last week was a gain, I'm even lower today than I was the week prior - the week before my gain! SUPER EXCITED! :bigsmile: :happy: Connie

I'm stalking on here...... YOU ALL ARE NAUGHTY for even thinking up how to modify the real numbers on your scale!!! :noway: :laugh: :laugh:

Kim, just so I make sure I understand, how does it work regarding determining who, in the 2nd chance category, gets to come back onto one of the teams? Is it whomever loses the most percentage for week #10 alone? Or is it whomever loses the most percentage from weeks #1 thru 10 combined, or what? I have no idea how it's…

Oooooh, how MEAN!! I guess you'll have to find someone else to help you out then tomorrow. Ha! I'm definitely coming over to help, but ONLY if I can wear my HRM and count the day as exercise. What'dya say? And what time should we start? 10:00? Connie

GRRRRR!!! Well, I did it to myself, was a little to "lushy" this weekend at the campground. Should've known it'd come back to haunt me. :cry: OK, now I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Heather decided to stay an extra week on her vacation, and forgot all about weigh-in day. Ha! :devil: Connie
-
Oh yeah, that's right, she WAS in 2nd chance already. Awwww, crap! Well, time will tell I guess....
-
Sorry to let you down, team. I gained 0.6. :angry: BUT not as badly as the scale was showing yesterday. Must've been that distilled water that helped me a bit - thanks Kim - ha! :drinker: Anyway, I can't be too hard on myself, as I've lost weight for what, 20+ weeks straight. That's awesome progress IMO!! :happy: Guess I…

OMG, yes!! That Kris Kross song was the first thing that came to mind last night when I saw the word of the week. "Jump, jump!!" SO FUNNY!! Connie

I was super proud of myself today! Went to Perkins for supper, and instead of ordering one of their MANY tasty entrees, I ordered a side salad, baked potato, steamed asparagus, and a chicken breast. Yep, I told them I didn't want any of their dinners, AND that I didn't want them to season the chicken at all (sodium…

Haha! :laugh: Let me just say that, yes, it's working. :drinker: Good thing the bathroom is just down the hall from my office. :tongue: Connie

I just drank 33 oz. of the stuff and all is well. However, I didn't dare drink it until I called my mommy and asked her - she's good at knowing so many weird things. Since I got Mom's approval, I figured I'd be fine. Ha! :laugh: Connie
-
OK, laugh at me if you want, but a person can actually drink DISTILLED water??? I thought that was mandatory non-drinking water! I'm at work right now, and we've got about 6 gallons of distilled water, for a deco water fountain here. Should I seriously drink some of that? I'm serious, I honestly didn't know a person could…
-
Thank you, Princess. :flowerforyou: I have one heck of a workout planned for tonight, so hopefully that'll help me as well. AND I promise not to eat after 6 pm - I almost always have something at night, but NOT TONIGHT!! :noway: Connie
-
I am way up this week - like, 3 pounds up! I'm totally freaking out, not sure how this happened. I do feel totally bloated, I can tell by how my pants fit, and I know it's about that TOM for me, so maybe that's it? Regardless of the reason, it's not going to "excuse" me for tomorrow's weigh-in. OMG, I hate the scale right…
-
Thank you for the encouraging words, Shannon. I gotta beat this! Oh, and um, thanks?, for the compliment. I can be a little crazy too, especially when battling with myself! Ha!
-
What a weekend! Soooo naughty! :devil: Maria (Irishgal on the other team) had a b-day party for her daughter yesterday, so I went there and ate way too much! Then we also camped with family this weekend, and I was a bit of a lush, with the food AND drinks. :drinker: :laugh: But, I have to give myself credit, I said "no" to…

Oh yeah!!! I LOVE how these challenges and twists/turns keep me motivated. Thank you SO MUCH, Kim, for putting the challenge together. You've REALLY helped me get to where I am, and watch out, I'm far from being done! Keep up the great work and dedication, team! -Connie
-
I like your decision, Brit. Good strategy! Alright, here we go with another week! Let's stay strong! Connie
-
Brit, I like your choices! I'd say go for it! What does everyone else think? Connie
-
Oooh, we DEFINITELY have this one in the bag! Woohoo! All members on the other team have maintained or gained, except for 1 person. And they only have one more person to weigh in. Sad that many of them had a tough week..... but YAY us!! :bigsmile: Time for the MUSCLE BUSTERS to throw some power around! :smokin: LOL!…
-
Why, thank you, Kim! :flowerforyou: Makes me feel good to know others can see a change for the better! YAY!! :heart:

Alright, I FINALLY got photobucket to work. Wow, that was rough! Super excited! Down 3.4 pounds - WOOT WOOT! I can't remember the last time I lost that much weight in one week. AND considering it was during a family/friend-filled, food-packed weekend! It goes to show I DO have the capability of eating smart even when…
-
Good luck tomorrow, team! Let's do this! :drinker:
-
Super excited... Today I COMFORTABLY moved from the first notch on my belt to the second notch - it's no longer too tight! Woohoo!! And a client at work (a physician on top of that!!!) told me I'm looking fantastic, and asked if I've lost weight. For a PHYSICIAN to tell me I'm looking good.... whoa! Feeling on top of the…

Thought I'd broken through the 40s, grrrrr!!! I'll still take it! Connie

No more excuses for not going to the gym for me!!! I used the "I-am-so-exhausted-I-can't-think-of-exercising" excuse for quite a few days now. And guess what? I still have no energy!! I WILL get myself to the gym, I don't care how exhausted I think I am. And I WILL notice an increase in energy after I get back in the…
