[elisasadler]

Now I can see we have such a great team..Susie I agree Nichole totally Rocks and I hope to lose that fast this time round too...first time was great.....Now Susie you are a Latin Teacher and that is awesome ...and Nichole you have a tie to it through your kids so I say lets have a cool Latin name then...plus it will make everyone wonder, what the heck????? lol and be searching all over the internet to see what it means...( you will tell me right)


Strengths...I love to make people laugh and feel at ease
I soooo love water so that is a plus for me lol

Weaknesses...ouch way too many, but a biggie is excercise ...I love doing it once I am doing it but getting myself to do it is the problem....way over the bread ad pasta thing but still crave sweets....I am always more nervous than I let on...and okay I will say it ...my self esteem could use some work

A Sound Mind In a Sound Body....I like it

[Susiecarbojunkie]

I only have a minute before the board goes down---
I was trying to think of another name we could use
and i came up with

"maceat victor"---which means--- let the winner become slender


still thinking

[LadyN]

Hi everyone!

Today has been so hectic for me. I have only 10 min. to say Hi to you all.

Got my water and exercise in and I am doing well with my eating. I did not weigh this morning I was in a great hurry! I will in the AM though.
susie: I like the name " maceat Victor" that is really neat! What we will do is compile a list and then pick the one we all like best.

KB: So glad you could stay!! I look forward to the journey with you all!

Elisa: Ouch! I know how you feel. The chat is a good Idea!!

Guys I am so sorry I have to be brief, but I really have to go!

Have a great day and let's all do the best we can today!


Nichole

[elisasadler]

Everything is still going really good here..water, food ,exercise, and attitude!!!!! I took a good 45 minutes this morning to release most of the cramps fom my poor body but didn't let it stop me...walked 30 minutes, fast pase up and down hill today...tomorrow back to the gym for my water arobics adn some strenth training...not gonna get back on the scale till Thursday I think....I usually go up a pound or two when I first start working out but I hope that wont be the case....

bad part of the day was that I lost 3 of my fishies
and BF was in an ugly mood when I got home this evening, but I just smiled (sacastically I might add) and went for my walk lol


I am loving life and loving this team!!!!!

[KBnoCarbNC]

Hi all, I just finished watching Biggest Loser on tv and thought I'd pop in.

Today is Day 4 on Induction and my caffeine headaches are gone, I'm so relieved.

I'm doing well on plan and not having any cravings and feel like I weigh so much less. I went to Kroger tonight and jumped on the scale and it said 258 and I laughed. It was obviously broken, but boy I can not wait until I weigh that again!

I like Southern Comfort as a team name, myself.

Any seconds?

[KBnoCarbNC]

Elisa - I'm in Raleigh

#2, how do I get the spreadsheet?? Has anyone seen it?

[elisasadler]

[KBnoCarbNC]

Good morning all. I'm about to iron my clothes to go to work so I have just a minute.

I'm happy to announce that in 4 days......................





drum roll please......................



10.4 pounds!

Whoooohoooo!


I feel AWESOME! It's so great having a sub group like this, the big boards are so "big" and inpersonal at times.

I'll be back on tonight to see how you all did and share in our success!

Make it a GREAT day!

kb

[elisasadler]

I am soooo excited for u and I know that you feel great....I am up a couple pounds but I know it is from the workout I am doing I should begin dropping like crazy by Friday....yayyyy we are awesome this team....well off to get a shower and head to the gym!!

[Susiecarbojunkie]

HOLY WEIGHTLOSS, BATMAN!!
That's wonderful, KB!!!

this morning, I was finally down the 4 pounds I gained overnight on Sat.
I have been having wicked migraines--either due to caffeine withdrawal or the yucky weather (prolly both--it was so bad last night, I didn't get any more exercise in)---I just sat there watching Biggest Loser, and crying!!! what they have done is so wonderful.
what WE are doing is wonderful!! When I train or mentor other teachers, I always stress to them that the PROCESS of whatever you are doing is nearly always more important than the product--and I always stress to my students that learning is process--that living is too---blah blah---anyway--this process we are in now is awesome
and no matter where we end up with it--so long as we are true to what we are doing now---we are better for it
every ounce lost--a victory
every minute spent exercising--a victory

I wonder--when we calculate our carbs, should we be subtracting fiber? I don't as a rule, and yesterday I had 26 carbs--but that was because I had flaxmeal cereal for breakfast--and then veggies and salad for dinner. If I subtract the fiber, it would be 15. My goal was to consume only 20 carbs---but I don't worry if I'm going over the 20 due to eating flax---because it's so good for you
but
I don't want our team to lose points because I'm not meeting my goal???

If we want to chat---we could use the chatroom on this website???
I've never done much of that
I downloaded msn messenger--I think that was the source of my hotmail prob--they changed it
but, I've not used it, and I'm not sure how....

anyway
I learned a lesson yesterday---It's not good for a teacher to consume nearly 90 oz. of water before she has to drive 35 mins. to get to school--and then teach for 2 hours in a row without a potty nearby

I did 20 mins. of Walk Away the Pounds (WATP)--I'll finish it this afternoon, if my head doesn't hurt too bad.

Elisa---I'm sorry to hear about your fish.
I hope you're feeling less sore today--you have been doing great--but don't overdo--or you'll either get discouraged, or get an injury.

LadyN-- your spirit is contagious!!!!

well--gotta go educate some kiddies


in exercito veritas
(truth in exercise) or (truth in practice)

[LadyN]

Well hello everyone! I am doing great today I am down another pound! I feel great!

Congrats KBnocarb!! I am so impressed! I am so glad your headaches are gone! I too love this group! I think the board can be a bit impersonal just because there are so many people. How is the exercise coming? "Southern Comfort" I like it. Anyone else?
Do you have the rules yet? If not, Pm me and I will send you the short version.

Speaking of exercise: What is everyone aiming for? I am going to work out for at least 30 min. 5x per week. That is appx 600 min. per month which equals 40 points. That is just to start, I will be incrimentally adding in extra min. each week.


Susie:
How did you stand not going for 2hrs!!!! I can't do it. I hope you are able to figure out a way to get to the bathroom safely congrats on your weight loss!! I know it feels so much better to be eating right! I appreciate your very inspiring post! It is funny you used the word veritas, that is the name of my children's school! Veritas Academy: In Christo Veritas!


Elisa: I am sorry to hear about your fish. What kind was it? My kids want fish so bad. I told them they will have to wait until we move. I know how it is when you begin exercising you do gain like that I wouldn't worry about it. This challenge has so many other ways for us to get points. Just as long as you are consistent I know the pounds will come off and you will be losing inches as well.

Yikes! I gotta go! I wish everyone a great day and remember:

NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD AS THINNER FEELS!

[KBnoCarbNC]

Hi all, just checking in. I received my spreadsheet so I can start tracking.

Do we keep this one thread going and going or should we start a new one with our new team name?

I did think of something today, perhaps I'm getting too competitive but what about accountability? Anyone could bank their points for water and exercise and not really do it. Likewise for the Dunkin' Donuts (my mouth waters typing the name!).

I think I'm being catty, I just want to win and if we're beat, I want to be able to see the proof in pictures!

Have a great night, all.

[elisasadler]

well the proof will be in the pictures kb ...we need to (I already have) take a now picture...and as far as the dunkin donuts thing gonna save my receipt in case it is questioned when we win this thing, oops did I say that out loud lol.....and yes I thing we should sart a new thread using our new name but be sure on the thread to add team 14...tell ya what girls I will go and add that thread now in the challenge section okay...I think that is where they are posting the team threads now....so I will see all you wonderful strong willed ladies there......


by the way had another awesome day....1 hour water class and 20 minutes walking woo hoo!!!!!!!

water and food intake as close to perfect as I could be...125 oz water and 19 carbs OH YEAH!!!!!!
