Weigh-in 

Willowraven  - I hope that the rest of this week and next week will be better for you.  All things are possible when you turn to God.  I am sure that he will see you through.

Go Green Team!  Sending Willowraven a big {{{HUG}}}

Don't give up willowraven, you can do it.  Just keep going and do the best you can, It WILL come off.  Congrats green team, I hope you all have an great weekend!!!

I just checked the weigh-in thread and the results thread, and didn't see the totals for this past week - any news on how the teams did?

Thanks for the encouragement everyone.  I have faith in my personal belief system and my Divine that they will help me through, as well as faith in myself to get me through.  The personal issues are working themselves out and I had my Dr. appointment this last week, and I go back on the 26th to discuss my bloodwork results, my weight loss difficulties AND my concerns with my thyroid.  I'm hoping that we can find out what's going on, and work on resolving some of them.

Hope you are all having a great weekend.  Hang in there everyone!

Loss after 6 weeks.   Way to go Green Team, 8 of the top 14 positions.

Where is everyone these days?  Not much chatter on this thread at all.  I am having a good week and hope to post at least -3 pounds.  How is everyone else doing?

Jeff

I was thinking the same thing.  I had to go to my tagged threads to even find our beloved Green Team chat.  I'm going to make it my goal for the week to post here every day.

Our family went to see the musical "Phantom of the Opera" yesterday.  It was part of our Christmas.  We had great seats!  4th row!  Afterward we went to Red Lobster.  I did ok.  I had pre-planned my meal, so I was able to make good choices.  I was still 600cals under for the day, so I thought that was a success.

We went to friends' for the day on Saturday, and I was only under by about 200 for the day.  So, it's time to get back on the wagon.  I was working for 800-1000 calories under per day. 

Sooo, here's to our Green Team.  Best wishes to all for a successful week.  :)  Kelly

Glad to see that there is some chatter on the green team site again. 

I am sooo proud of everyone and how they are doing.

I have lost a total of 4 lbs - doesn't sound like much but I have struggled for months to try to lose even one pound and now my plateau is broken and the weight is coming off, slowly, yes but it is coming off so to me I am a winner!!!

I will keep with my plan and try to lose 1-2 lbs before Wednesday.

GO GREEN TEAM!!!

I had a good week. I am down to 201.5 - loss of 3 pounds.  Next week I plan to get rid of that 2 and be into the 100's.  Go Green Team!

Jeff

I am still at 203.  Sorry I was no help to the team this week.  But I am sooo glad I am still at 203 and did not gain any back.  I know from my calories that I should be losing, but I have been unable to exercise due to the problems I have been having with my asthma and my recent bout with pneumonia. 

Everyone else keep up the great work!

My goal for next week is to lose 1-2 lbs. 

Drink lots of water.

Congratulations to all the people that have done so well.  As of today I have  lost 5 pounds in this challenge, but I am thrilled.  Last year I came to the realization that I was getting older and had developed some health issues that were only magnified by carrying around all that extra weight.  I was determined to loose 75 pounds.  I lost 11.  At first when I would read the post of  people that had lost 60 pounds last year I was discouraged, but then I realized some of them were my age and similar backgrounds so it motivated me to get back on track.  It had taken me 25 years to get 75 pounds overweight, and if it took me 2 years to take it off, then that was still going to be great.   So many of us are so busy working, raising families,looking after older parents that  there is no time left for us and we continously neglect our own health.  This challenge was a good way for me to refocus.  Lost time can never be found so this is a good week to reconfirm your goals and do one little special thing  for yourself to celebrate your accomplishments.  Good Luck Team...everybody have a great week.

Hi Greenies!!!! :D

*big high 5's*      Looks like a good week for everyone.

somehow I managed to lose 3.2lbs -- down to 193 now -- I can see the 180s from here and they're looking mighty HAWT :P

SORRY TEAM, I FOUND MY MISSING POUNDS FROM VEGAS..JUST TOOK A WEEK TO GET TO ME....SO BACK ON TRACK, BACK IN THE GYM...OH BUT I CANT GIVE UP THE DARK CHOCOLATE...DOVE HEARTS ARE THE BEST...SO 4 A DAY..AS A SNACK..UNTIL I CAN WEAN MYSELF OFF OF THEM....

GOAL FOR THE NEXT 2 WEEKS...LOSE THE 4 LBS I FOUND AND THEN 2 MORE...BACK ON TRACK

Congratulations Green Team! 

 I have lost 5 lbs in total so far but March will be a better month for me.  I can only do minimal exercise since the operation and even walking slow hurts.   Just saw the surgeon and she said two more weeks and I can exercise and work.  I have 5 sails waiting for me to repair.  

Good luck to all-----we still have lots of time!!  Go Green Team!

It looks like it was a good week Green Team!  Congrats to everyone.  I was down 2.5 this week finally hitting 230!  Wooohhooo!  I'm looking the 220s right in the eye!  It feels like a big accomplishment since I started at 256 in December.

How was everyone's day?

OKAY team I am so sorry I did not post last week and this week I gain but I have had SO MUCH STRESS in my home with sick kids and getting my basement put together again after a water leak a while back. Not something you like in a 3 year old home. So I have had my hands full and now I got the head cold too so I have not been eating good!!!

BUT I need to get back on track and have to do better this week!!

SORRY for the gain again!!

Way to go Schlosska!  Great job. 

Abholbrook - I hope all is better at your house and you are feeling better.  Just remember everyday is a new day and tomorrow will be better.

By the way at weigh in on Wednesday at was at 203 and today I am at 201.  I can't wait to get under 200.  It will feel so great.  I am working hard and drinking lots of water and watching portion control.  I have been really sick and unable to exercise but I am getting better and once I can start exercising - WATCH OUT!!!

Hi Green Team. It is great to read how so many are doing their best to stay on track. I was getting a little impatient for quicker weight loss, but I am feeling much better now. I?m encouraging everyone to keep on making good choices because the scales will eventually show all our healthier changes. I?m still walking my 10,000 steps to help keep my outlook optimistic. I hope everyone is doing well and staying positive. Go Green Team!

It's so great to hear from everyone, regardless how the last week or weeks have gone!  I really think a big key to doing this is to stick together and keep in contact.  :)

Rileaf, whew!  10,000 steps is awesome.  I've been so bad about walking since all this cold weather started.

This was an incredibly tense/stressful week at work.  It was a four day week, but I presented twice this week, and attended an out of town meeting that was rescheduled due to snow last week.  All in all, I felt like I was two steps behind all week.  Tomorrow I'm having a baby shower for a friend, and I haven't baked the cake yet.  UGH.... Tomorrow at 6pm though... I think I'm going to bed.  Maybe next week will be better... Hey, I think it's my anniversary next week!!!  Oh man, wonder what I'm gonna do for that!  LOL

Adios!  Kelly

Thanks rprather what a sweet thing to say! I am still trying to get over this REALLY nasty "bug" but I see the light at the end of the tunnel!

I changed my goal to 125 pounds from 120, I think I can ge there better so I am now only 9.7 pounds from that and YES they will be the hardest to loose I KNOW!!

But hey I have an awesome family and I have lost a total of 23.3 pounds so far NOW I just need to stay on track!! I hope to get full on back to the gym next week 60 minutes a day and Sunday off!!

We can do this!!

GO GREEN TEAM GO!!!
