Hey all i don't know if you have all watched the show yet.... but OH MY GOSH.... what a great show.. and the person voted off wow amazing....!!!! it's sooo motivating... i REALLY WISH i could workout soooo badly....they look amazing... i wonder who will go home next week i like them all sooo much i don't want anyone to go... can you believe that matt lost 26 pounds...!!!!!
ok well, i won't let any more out until you all get to watch it...
later all
shara--ps as you can tell i didn't end up having to work.. long story but basically the people that had the party scheduled never called back to cancel it.. i was talking to a guy at work that was suppose to be coming to the party and he said no it's not there it's at another place so i called my bosses and they called the guy in charge who felt terrible ......
so anyway i am glad i didn't go in and set up for 80 people and then have nobody show up...
well hope your all having a great evening... later

I will go with the majority, I really don't care if we overlap, but it would be fine with me if we don't.
I got on during the show to say how much more fun it has been this week. Sandra had suggested the Dumpster Derby gals ride for the day during the show, so I am! I feel so connected to everyone doing this show. We should have thought of this earlier in the BL challenge!
TTFN,

I'd like to weigh-in on the start of the next challenge -- I say go with the 29th (for selfish reasons, getting the new scale when I return from MI and I'd hate to report a HUGE gain) and plus we have that final weigh-in on the 29th to "keep us good" for Thanksgiving. Of course, I'll go whichever way is decided.

I weigh almost every day anyway. Plus I post weight on this section and in the Turkey day challenge on Monday's. I can post it twice in two different locations. I pasted the totals to a word / excel sheet so I can copy and paste the info instead of searching for it each week.

Cruise, I am indifferent to when we start the holiday challenge as long as I can get in on it!
I would like to throw a proposal out to the team. My usual weigh-in is on Fridays... which I kept as my "official" day. I have been weighing on Tuesday's too for the BL challenge, but if there is no show on Tuesdays, I wonder if we could pick a different day? Friday would be best for me, but I am completely flexible (just call me Gumby). There are advantages to weighing twice a week too.

Cruise,
I think it would be a good idea for the holiday challenge to include Thanksgiving - especially given the eating nature of the holiday. I understand that it could get confusing during the 2 overlapping weeks though. It's a tough call. I'm sure others will weigh in on this as well.

I think we should stick with the show schedule and wait until the 29th for the Holiday Challenge. Just my opinion.
I gained 2.5 lbs this week. Sorry Blue team.

You are right Shara...I posted the Grand Finale as the 29th, but then in my head got stuck that it was ending next week! Sooooo.....
There is really 2 full weeks left for us, and 3 more episodes of the show, counting tonight! Thanks for clearing that up for me! So, do we want to start the Holiday Thread as we planned on the 22 anyway, or wait until the 29th? I think as far as the holidays go, I'd like to still start that one BEFORE Thanksgiving so it covers Tksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. We can just use our weight for the 22, and 29th in both places. Or, do you think that's foolish and just want to wait til this one is over and start the new one on the 29th? You guys decide and let me know what you think, ok?

Hey everyone great losses!!!! that's wonderful.. i'm a little confused about when the finale is though.. i went back and read a lot of posts as i was behind and someone said we have 3 weeks of the real BL left and that the finale was the 29th and now CP i think you said it's the 22nd... i don't really care i just want to make sure i don't miss it... i have to work tonight so i have make sure my dh and son tape it for me... can't wait to see what happens they all are doing sooo well and now i like all of them that are left..i'm such a sap i'm always cryin w/them..
Well red team  i'm in at 192 today.. i'll take it since the only excersize i am getting right now is waitressing... tonight i have a party of 50 to 80 so that should be interesting... and we are getting our first snow right now and suppose to have blizzard conditions tonight.. yuck... i don't care for snow at all...
anyway keep it up everyone i have to get passed this 192 mark i really really want to do that for next week... i have been eating very low cals..
have a great day all

Laurie,
Where in Hawaii are you going? I lived on Oahu, Pearl Harbor(my ex was in the Navy) back in the 70's...my first child was born there.
Have fun!

Hi Cruise,
I bought a laptop and I'm taking it to Hawaii with me on the 22nd. So I will be able to post from there for the final weigh in. I'm so excited!
Can't wait to see how the teams did this week. Boy, for not being able to watch the show, I'm getting addicted to all the drama! Maybe I can even catch a bit of the show that night from Hawaii!
But if I know me, I'll be out partying with my friends and my bother. In fact, I just remembered. I made reservations to take my brother to see Ledward Ka'apana in concert on the 22nd. Oh well...

I'm down .5 from last week, which is good, but still up 1 from where i was 2 weeks ago. I felt like i did pretty well with eating and working out this week, so i'm hoping that my body is just adjusting and i'll see some solid results next week! I'm going to try to stay within my calorie range more often this week and meet or beat my calories burned goal - i'm hoping this will help produce some good numbers next week.
I'm hanging out with friends tonight, so i won't be able to watch the show. But, i'm looking forward to Cruise's excellent recap tomorrow. Thanks for always doing that Cruise! Have a good day everyone!

Sandra,
I did my dumpster riding last night while watching the news...maybe I will move my bike out in the living room and ride while I am watching BL tonight too! Sounds like a plan!

Cruise, I can do that -- Friday is my last day home until the 27th. I think I'm back in time for the start-up of the Holiday challenge, starts 11/29? Plus I think when I return I'm going to buy a new scale -- the one I have is not the best quality, and when I weigh in, I do it 3 times and take the number that comes up most often which sometimes I have to weigh in 5 times to get the number. It's just bad so I'm going to invest in a new one when I return for the upcoming challenge and for my sanity.

I started the Dumpster derby thread for anyone who wants to join. And you don't have to have a dumpster bike to participate! I'm going to ride during BL tonight.
My positive thought yesterday... I just love my hubby. After 2 years of courtship and 5 years of marriage, I am more smitten with him now than I was at the start. He's my inspiration and motivation to get healthy and lose weight.
Coaches... loved having you on board for this challenge and would love to have you for the holiday challenge.
I've got another pound for the RED team. Woo Hoo! That activity burst did the trick I think.

Good Morning All. Way to go Sue!!! Killer numbers you have going there -- keep up the awesome work.
I had to go back nearly 3 pages to find my last set of numbers -- whew we have been busy bees!
09/13 - 250
09/20 - NS
09/27 - NS
10/04 - NS
10/11 - 243
10/18 - 243
10/25 - 240
11/01 - 238
11/08 - 236
11/15 - 236 (unchanged)
I'll be away for next week's weigh-in and I'm not packing the scale! -- so I won't be able to contribute but when I get back into town on the 27th, I do want to report in -- I need that "deadline" to keep me honest through the holidays.
Great job everyone!! We all Rock!!
Have a beautiful day.

Wow! Lots of good energy, good attitude, and good numbers happening this past week. That's great. Isn't it amazing what just a little effort to focus on the positive and a little more activity every day can accomplish? Can't wait to see this week's totals for both teams, tho I'm sure Blue will win, of course.
I'll be happy to participate in the Holiday challenge, too, if you'd like.
About the Dumpster Derby--I think that's a great idea. I just got a recumbent exercise bike about 2 weeks ago, and I have it parked in front of my TV. I use it once in a while for high intensity aerobics, but mainly I just sit on it and pedal very leisurely when watching TV. An hour or more of that every night burns anywhere from 300-600 cals/day and hardly seems like work at all--don't even have to break a sweat. But you may want to get a good cushion for the seat to avoid a big pain in the butt, lol.

Speaking for myself...I think we would love to have the coaches along for the Holiday Challenge, Coach Jen! Everyone is posting good numbers...I like your idea Beckie, I may try that variance of calorie max's.
Good luck all BL's,
Sue

OK, I am SO EXCITED TO post this number today!!!!
9/11 - 165.8
9/20 - NO scale Challenge
9/27 - No Scale Challenge
10/4 - No Scale Challenge
10/11 - 164.2
10/18 - 161.3
10/25 - 163.8
11/1 - 163.6
11/8 - 163.2
11/15 – 160.2
For the last 2-3 weeks I have been trying the 1200-1300 one day 1400 most days and 1 day a week 1800 calories. And it's been working GREAT!!! Last Friday the scale said 159.8. I was SO HAPPY. But I can't seem to get that 50 back. Maybe next week.
Here's to ALL of us.

Hi Everyone!
Good luck with your weigh in today! Whether the number on the scale goes down, stays the same, or even goes up a little, look at how much progress you have made!!
I think it's great that you are going to start a holiday challenge to get you through the toughest time of the year. If you would still like coaches around, let me know- I'd be happy to participate
Have a great day! GO RED TEAM!!!

Look how much you've dropped in the past 3 weeks! It was worth the weight, wasn't it! I'm so glad you hung in there! Must be that dumpster bike!!! I hope I can find one, too!
