Team 1: Bums Away!!

im down 9.5 pounds....4 pounds since monday, i cannot weight till next weeks weigh in, which happens to be my birthday!!!

speaking of which my party is at logans roadhouse next saturday, any reccomendations on good healthy foods to eat from there...

Good luck to all, much love, raro

Whoo Hhooooo!!! ....  Go team 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I went back and read the entire post.... if we have over 50 members on our team ... maybe we should shoot for a 500 lb loss

If we aim too low .. we might not try as hard ...  just my 2 cents worth..

I know we can kick butt!!!  (as soon as I can lift my leg that high) LOL

GOOD LUCK to us all!!!

lol! Ok... you're right, we should shoot higher, for sure we can lose 300, but we should aim for 500 ^_^

As my ol' roomie used to say, "You can do it, put your a** into it!"

Okay, as I may have pointed out, the bum thing is biggest item(ahem) on my mind.

So, tomorrow will be tough, guys. My husband will be at work for most of the day, leaving me with a paper to write and cupboards full of delicious things to devour. Must... hold... back...

:D Ren

You can do it Ren!!

Yes. Yes I can.

(Do I sound convincing? I sure hope so.)

Eep!
Ren :D

Where are my manners?

Thanks gabpco!

Ren :D

Sure you can, you sound convincing to me! *Step away from the cupboards, Ren, away from the cupboards!* Focus on your paper, and take a short exercise break every 60-90 minutes. It'll really keep your mind working, plus, who doesn't need a break from their paper? *shudder* I hate papers.. thats why I took the science route! you English students are braver than I!

So, anyway, I'll be out in the boonies with no internet for tomorrow and Sunday morning taking care of my parent's dog. so I'll see y'all on Sunday afternoon... hopefully not 10 lbs heavier from all the goodies my mom will probably have lying about! 

Good Luck, and enjoy your weekend, everyone!!

I like Weight to Go...

Okay Team, I need some help for Sunday morning/afternoon.  I'm located here in Seattle, so of course I am cheering on the Seahawks ***Go Hawks***.

Well since the game is at 10am (PST) we are going to head to a bar with friends and have breakfast (Okay I'll admit I never knew you could order breakfast from a bar, other than a bloody mary  this IS new to me) while cheering on the Hawks.  So I need some help with this because I always pack my breakfast to work so I know what I'm eating.  I have yet to eat breakfast out (unless I'm traveling & hotels always have decent caloried cereals/fruits) since I'm been working on my weight.

So with that I'm a little nervous and concerned that I'm going to 'give-in'....  so team here is your challenge if you choose to accept it.... (This may seem odd but just go with it) :) What foods should I look for???

Hey Turtlegirl253:

You should look for fruits and vegetables of course. Have a glass of water before you "dig in". If it is a buffet, then sampling a bit of everything you like (once) should keep you in line.

If it is a menu in which you order from, order the healthiest option. If it is an egg sandwich, ask them to hold the cheese. If it is an omelette, again, with the cheese. You could ask them to make the sandwich with eggwhites instead.

Just remember that this won't be your last meal and that Team 1 is rooting for you!!!

Team 2       &nb sp; Team 3       Weigh-in      Sign-ups <-Sarah could you tell me how to do this?  It is so much neater than having the whole link there.  Either here or in my Journal as a comment. Thanks, Jeff

edit - oops I left this on the wrong board before noticing.  As sarah is gone till Sunday after noon would appreciate anyone teaching me how to do this.

What up team? I have just been added. This could be fun. Never been part of a weight loss contest.

My starting weight is 241.  I was wanting to suggest a witty team name, all I could come up with is "Waist Away" which kinda resembles the "Bums Away", or "No Butts about it". That is all I am suggesting everything else I am thinking of is getting quite lame.

Well, it will be nice to get to know all of you. We can win this thing...better yet, we WILL win this things.

Hi, all, this is my first time doing something like this. I kinda like the name motivators.

Hello,Hello everyone!!!! Hope your all doing well!! My goal for the 12 weeks is 30 lbs.. My ultimate goal is 50 by June 9th!!! I'm in a wedding.  Sooo let's go and win this thing!!!!!

Hahaha! No Butts About It. Good one cpage!

Well, it's halfway through the day. I haven't gone mad and eaten the entire store of goods in the cupboards, so I just may be able to get through it.

As for the paper. Well, let's say I must now turn off the computer and just focus all energies on the literary analysis of imprisonment and degrees of freedom in the Tempest. Hurrah!

Sarah, not too sure exactly why I'm an English student.:P

Turtlegirl, jag_kan has a really good point. It's not your last meal. No need to go overboard! You can enjoy healthful yummy foods too (even at a bar - as for brekkies at a bar, quite common in the UK!).

Good luck getting through the weekend everybody!

Ren :D

Oh another thing I really think that this will help with motivation if you like challenges just strive to be the Biggest loser. It worked for me last year I was in a local Challenge called " Choose your weigh(t) to a healthier lifestyle."  My goal for every week was to be the biggest loser I was 291 when I started and ended it at 217 on May 27th. I had gotten down to 199 before the holidays but went back up to 206. So I hope this is what I need to get back on track!!! Good Luck everyone!!!!!

Thanks for the info Jag & Ren!  I will keep what you said in mind and I'm sure I'll be OK.  Enjoy the weekend everyone!!!

Ooh - just though of another name...

"Waisting Away" *giggle*

lol @ Sarah who is looking around frantically at being called team leader...

That's what you get for being a natural leader Sarah! You go girl! You're doing a great job!
