Chris, I hit my plateau from mid-February til the end of March.  That is when I found CC and read and read and read (and the loooonnnnggest 6 weeks).  I had already lost almost 20 pounds by then and that is ALWAYS where I'd hit my plateaus and normally give up.  My first month here I still hadn't broken the plateau...I didn't start losing until the end of March and then only 2-3 pounds every other week.  It didn't start speeding up until this challenge started.  I knew I needed something to get my butt motivated to exercise.  I am waiting for the ball to drop on me again too!  Isn't that sad?  I'm such a positive person thinking such negative thoughts!!!!  Shame on me!!!

So that's why the gutters keep getting clogged!?!?!?  Ohhhhh!!!  Lol

Thanks for the Vibes Guys !!!

Without your help I would have had a BIGGER piece of oreo/ice cream/home made fudge dessert ...... I figured my calories by picking and choosing things that were already in the CC files, I'm sure I'm pretty close.  So now I'll just have a smaller dinner (salad probably).

You guys are awesome .... SOOOOO GLAD I found YOU !!!

{{{{HUGS}}}}}

DON-tito is one of my favs too, but i was a little upset with the fact that he b_itched out(for a lack of better term) in the fight with dana.......but ill be rooting for him anyways :p  however night of the fight, only cause i love to tick off my bro in law im gonna say "ohhhhh your boy Tito going down"  hehe, i just love getting him all sorts of upset!!  You see he is a huge pantera fan, so far in fact he dont listen to anything else, well now he listens to Hell Yeah, cause of Vinney, but u get my point...so last sunday night i kept saying Pantera sux thought he was gonna cry LoL  im so mean!! 

JUDI- glad u had just a little, right now i prolly would of scarfed the whole thing down!!  Glad our energy we was sending helped!!

VK- i remeber when i first started the over 200 club!!  was when u were doing the every other week weight loss, dang didnt know about the plateau though, but then again, i had read every post sure it was on there, just didnt know anyone yet!! 

Well I'm gonna try positive vibes for NOT to hit one!!  Im just preparing myself, gonna start changing some stuff up, just in case!!  diff excersises and what not!!

my mind is prolly always in the gutter .....hehehe

my mood is much brighter today then yesterday THANK GOODNESS, i was seriously the meanest person around!!

you go VK. One day this grasshopper will join you in knowledge and be able to snatch the snack baggie from your hand

Judi....okay so just reading what was available I was already drooling. WFH (woofreakinhoo) 4 u girlfriend.

Chris, that is so funny. I can picture my wife doing something like that to me. good thing about that is that I know how to push her buttons too.  I never really expected him to fight Dana. Oh and this weekend we were at the mall and went to Spencer's (um don't know if they have one where you are at but...) and I picked up a PUNISHMENT cap. They had some pretty cool TAPOUT shirts too but I will buy one when I'm buff again.

How is everyone else on the team doing today?

Tess have you been able to make it to the gym?

Lol Don...eh, no need for snatching the baggie, I've got another one!  Lol  

Well, the 200 forum is Looonnggg!  Lol  I lucked out stumbling on it at the beginning.  That is when I met Hye and she'd get on me about watching the scale. Lol  Not so easy not to look at the numbers (trend) when that's what I do all day at work.

And then...and then....(hold me back now) I got on our wonndderrfullll team and ain't no holding us back!!!  *rocky song playing in background*

de de de de don dun dun dunnnnn nah nah nah

       &nb sp;        *trying to hum rocky*

that didnt turn out so HOT

OHHHHHHH im so going to spencers!!!!

Aww thanks VK tu eres la bomba (you are the bomb)

chris I was actually trying to say it as I was reading it. Thank god the office doors around me were closed.

OMG!!!  We were on page 10!  We're slackin' with the chattin'. 

Good Morning H4L!!  How are we doing today?  I'm doing good.  I peeked this morning and I'm down from last challenge weigh in.  Now to sustain that or build on that loss and we're all good.  :) 

It was just pointed out to me that 4th of July is a week (yes-1 week!) away.  How the heck did that happen!?!?!?!  Are you all going to a firework show?  So what's the plan man??

yeah we are slackin on the chattin

Good morning H4L!

I'm doing well. Went to the gym and actually ran a mile in 11:30. Can't wait till I can do a mile in 7:39.

VK I didn't peek but I so wanted to. I will tonight and tomorrow morning. I like to know where I'm at before weigh in. I think I will walk the dogs before weighin in though.

As for plans for the 4th I really don't have any. I know I will grill something. I have the 5th and the 6th off so I intend to do some good old fashion chilling and maybe take the kids to the beach. That Saturday is UFC fight night..SWWEEEETTTT

well I hope everyone is doing well. Happy hump day all.

GM H4L !!!
Just checking in ..... really bummed, cuz I'm up a couple of pounds... this has happened to me since starting this .... :-( 
I'm SURE the treat yesterday didn't help any ..... so, LOTS of water today!!!

Val - no 4th plans here .... my Mom is staying w/me for the summer (she lives in AZ in winter) .... she isn't getting around very good (back problems, etc) so we'll probably just hang out.  Last year I took my Mom and daughter to Nigara Falls and stayed there over the 4th (actually had been visiting my Uncle in Mass).  We had an AWESOME room that overlooked BOTH the falls.  They had fireworks over the falls as well as somewhere else behind the hotel (they were filming that so we had it on TV.....LOL).  My daughter thought it was SO cool, cuz she sat in the big tub and watched the fireworks from there !!
So, anyway a quiet 4th for us this year.

Hope everyone is having a good Wednesday.  Hopefully we get some MUCH NEEDED rain today .... supposed to have scattered rain/thunderstorms, but we need a GOOD soaking rain! 

{{SMILES and HUGS to ALL }}

good morning! the scale loves me this week! I'm down a full pound from last week's weigh in! i'm hopin the trend will continue. I don't get it either, i had pizza two nights ago, mexican food last night. and the weight keeps goign down! i'm sticking right around my 1500 cals, i think i've lost like 100points so far. i want to do as well as i can since thursday i will probably lose like 500 points b/c of my training. o well, i can only do what i can do!

i'm not doing muhc for the 4th. i'm workin at the fireworks booth to earn money for my fundraising then my friend from fresno is coming b/c i'm going to watch her kitten while she moves to daly city. i told her i might keep it lol

Fireworks booth!?!?  That is right in the thick of the action, isn't it?  Hmm, no, maybe that would be a kissing booth.  Lol   I'm so glad you're scale is being kind to you KT!  Very encouraging!

Don-I'm sooooo jealous!  That sounds sweeeet; UFC and all. 

Hey...where's Chris?  CHRIS!!??  Are you running?  Don't run over Don!

yea it should be fun vk. i'll be out there for 4 hours. i'm hoping we get good sales b/c a portion of sales goes to my fundraising account. and i need the money. i only have 2 months left and i have not raised any money yet. i need to send out my letters asking for donations. hmmm id better get on that

Judi don't take it to heart. At least you are able to determine what might have caused it and work on it from there. I'm sure you will work it out girl.

That trip sounds awesome. I bet you had a blast.

KT - gj girl. Um not sure if you want to continue with the pizza and mexican food but maybe your body is ready for some serious shocking. I agree with you regarding this challenge. I don't like that it doesn't count eating back what you burned.

Val- **looking around for Chris*** I have not spotted her, however after she runs over me I will throw up a signal flare.

Ciao

haha don i generally avoid mexican food and pizza but this week is just an off eating week b/c of hte b/f leaving and everything. when he is gone i plan to get my butt into gear in terms of training and eating. maybe he will come back to a 10-15 pound lighter me!

ha ha ha did i see a flare??????

Sorry all, raining here so hubby is home, we have been chilling, he wants to go to spencers now and check out the shirts!!  BTW don, last fight when everyone was here i turned on the laptop and showed off ur pics : -)

my scale SUCKS, still the same as last week!!  ughhhh ok 2 days to step it, i am really really starting to think i hit the ugly P......SOB waaaaaaaaaa, ok we will see!!!!

VK-4th of july plans, we are having people over and doing fireworks, kinda the same ole every year, but thats why it is fun!!! So friday we gotta get on gettin everything for the big day, haha its prollyor favorite holiday!!  The 2 oldest kids are going to my dads in the ozarks this year for the 4th :( but they love it there so thats cool!! but my hubby always has a HUGE fireworks show, the whole neighborhood will be so smokey cant even see across the street!!!

DON-a mile in 11:30 that is not bad t all, id be happy with that, mine is still or last night was 13:45.......gonna be a good week next week, 4th on wed. fights on sat!!!  i gotta be good!!

passes JUDI a case of water!!! You can have our rain!!!

KT-first off, u have to do what i best for you, regardless of the challenge!!  You dont wanna eat less and mess up whatyou are doing to win 20 points in a challenge that is ridiculus!!  You are losing now, you know what ya gotta do, so dont sweat it!! How much do u need to raise?  How long is yor BF gonna be gone for?

ok think i have posted a partial novel here!!  still nothing from amaxpo huh?  I dont wanna but if we dont hear from here by saturday, we have to let her go  :(   

ok guys HaPpY HuMp DaY back at ya!!!!

yay chris is alive! i bet you are enjoyin your rainy day in :)

i have to raise a minimum of $3100. but i would like to raise $4000. We are suppsoed to have it done by the end of august, but we can get a grace period of up to a month after the actual event to complete it. anything we don't raise, we donate ourselves.

the b/f is goign to be gone at least 3 weeks probably. our anniversary is july 25 so as long as he's back by then I don't mind :) but its goign to be incredibly hard having him gone, especially since he'll be on the other side of the world and i can't talk to him whenever i want. we've always been able to talk to each other so it's goignt o be rough. but thats why i wnat to focus on my training to keep me occupied.

the points i'm not worrying so muhc about. i just figure i can eat better the days i'm not wokring out so i'm not losing as many points then. i don't want to hurt myself, but i still want to help the team as best i can. at least i'll finally be able to show a real loss this week! woohoo!

o yea and how is the no smoking going chris?
