nic - so sad!  I'm sorry about your friend.  Make sure you are taking care of yourself.  We should all call the people we love and tell them we love them.

bff -

I'm soooo glad you are back!  Listen, I know it's hard.  It sucks.  And it isn't the food that sucks or the work outs that suck, it's those stupid games we play with our heads!  We know we can do this!!!  Other people have, why not us?  I am in this to the evry end.  Are you with me?  Hang on, girl, be strong. 

Good Morning!

Team 2 - Today's weight 249.8

Doing pretty well so far!!!  Each month on the 15th I have what I call a "weight date"  which is where I weigh myself, take all my measurements, and my daughter takes pics of me in my bathing suit (yikes) front, side, and back.  This month, from 12/15 to 1/15, I lost 13 lbs and a total of 9 inches!  The best part is that it doesn't feel like I'm on a diet.  I really like the foods I'm eating, I feel satisfied, I'm loving my workouts.  I feel good!

Happy Wednesday Weigh-In Day!

Team 2 - 254.8

Go Team 2!!!

Nicole - you are doing a great job as our unofficial Team 2 leader!!!  I wanted to thank you and blayne for keeping us up on all the stats.  It's really helpful and motivating!

I also wanted to say to our team that regardless of if you've had weight gains or losses, congrats for taking on a commitment like this during this time of year!  I know there are always temptations, but the holidays are the worst!  I don't remember the last time I saw a vegetable at a party!  So now that the holidays are over, let's get our butts in the gym with every other New Yr's Resolution attempter - but we will still be there as they are dropping off!  It's time to recommit!  For me, this is my year, it's like the stars have all finally aligned and I can do this!

As for team name - I really like Diet Riot, blayne.  I also thought "The See-Ya-Lighter-Laters".  I used to have a Weight Watcher lady say that at the end of our meeting - "See ya lighter later!"  Thought it was funny.

Nicole -

I just saw that you are in the 1's, too!!!  Bye bye 2's - never again!  Awesome job!

Hey, Everyone!

I did pretty well over the holidays.  I kept my treats limited to Christmas Eve dinner - a big gathering at my sister's, and Christmas Day - a bigger gathering at my aunt's.  I bought all of the stuff for our stockings before we went on a new eating plan so there was a bunch of candy in my husband's and my stockings so we each went through and picked out what we wanted (I picked 2 peanut butter truffles) and we gave all the rest to my brother's kids.  They loved it, of course!  I didn't have any sweets at xmas eve dinner and kept my dinner portion pretty small.  I was saving myself for xmas dinner and it was worth it!  But still, even though there were desserts galore I chose one and had a very small portion and really enjoyed it.  Overall I was able to put in a 2 lb weight loss for the challenge and I was right back on track 12/26, like nothing ever happened.

Hey, Team 2 -

Just a little Friday night motivation before we move into the final xmas weekend.  How's everyone doing out there? 

Hey, Robert - I didn't know we won a trip to Maui for this!!!  :) I wish... sounds great, though, and you are going to look great for it, I'm sure!

Good luck this weekend, everyone.  Wednesday is right around the corner!

Becky

Good morning, Losers! ;)

Team 2 - today's weight, 259.

Go Team 2!!!  Woo Hoo!!!

My new hobby is crazy - for me anyway - I am taking Kung Fu!  I am also really getting into swimming and I like to play basketball with my daughter.  In the past, I NEVER would have tried a physical activity that had a very high potential of making me look like an idiot.  But, I'm doing this!  I have never been athletic so it's not like I have that experience to lean on.  My goal is to be in shape enough by the spring to join a softball team.

I think I'm doing a pretty great job on my workouts and what is most unusual for me, and why I started this post, is that I am ENJOYING them!  Really!  I never used to enjoy working out! I would hear people say that once you get into your workout you're so glad you're there and how after your workout you felt so much energy...not me.  I hated getting ready for the workout, hated it while I was doing it, hated it after I did it.  So to be looking forward top the gym is absolutely a new place for me. 

Thanks, you guys!  Yes, Tim is very supportive and he has his own weight to lose so we can do it together.

Cellulitedelight - people can be so weird.  I remember once a family friend commenting on how thin my cousin was and then she said, "I can't wait until she has kids and gets fat like the rest of us"  I was so offended!  My cousin is beautiful and why anyone would wish a weight problem on her I will never understand.  It's so unfortunate that such a memorable moment for you will always be connected to such a careless comment.  But I know you know what you've got.  Walk it off, baby, walk it off. ;0
