Team Southern Comfort (team 14) 1/10

[Susiecarbojunkie]

Just thought I'd get this started for us--to get a jump on the next week!!!

[Susiecarbojunkie]

it's another monday---a really dopey day
I'm not down any pounds, but I am down 1 inch each in waist and hips

I also doubled my exercise time yesterday, and today ---i hope to keep that up every day
I think Red Lobster must sneak sugar into whatever seasoning they put on their shrimp or lobster. When I ate it, I wondered if it was seasoned---whatever it was, it threw me out of ketosis yesterday. I hate when that happens.

BTW--I got everyone's pm, but I haven't sent out my e-mail addy because I've had such trouble with hotmail lately. I will, when I can figure out what the prob. is.

Oh well--monday calls--gotta go
see y'all later

Hi all, I'm hope from work early and am heading to the Y with my son to work out. He's only 6 so we'll stick to the track but he is so excited over my challenge and our team..he wants to be our 5th member!

I'll post when I get back.

PS - I'm worried about the dress....I can't even get my head in to it...what was I thinking? It was so much money to spend too. Well, maybe, just maybe things will work out in just 5 short weeks.

Ok....off to sweat!

[elisasadler]

Okay first things first this morning, I owe my team members an apology..last night I had 6 wheat crackers with cream cheese, now the cream cheese is fine I know but I usually dont touch any form of bread and that includes crackers, plus I newver did get any excercise in yesterday , I know I told you three I didn;t feel well but I still feel really guilty today, so ladies I do apologise....but today is a new day (Thank the good and generous Lord) I have to take a neighbor to the doctor and then I am heading off to the gym and make up for yesterday!!!!BTW I do feel better today!!!! well ladies keep me up to date and keep up the good work...and also LADYN where the heck are u?????

[Susiecarbojunkie]

Elisa--don't beat yourself up, sweetie!! It's a process---success happens one day at a time---I wouldn't worry about letting the team down---our goals are to help each other get better

the same goes to KC--just keep pluggin' away---you'll get into that dress!!! Have fun at the track with your son!!

I've been in school data he11!!! I get so swamped with work that by the time I get home I can't even see straight. Last night, if I had had to even look at my puter, I would have cried!!!!---
and I have even more to do today--I teach in a school of about 2 thousand students and I am tracking progress of about 1700 of them


I've been doing 40 minutes of WATP every morning--although it's pretty hard so I stop doing the arm movements about 25-30 mins. into it---but my heart rate still stays up there. I haven't lost anything this week yet, but I think it's because I suddenly doubled my exercise time and it will take a day or two for my body to be o.k. with it.

LadyN---are you o.k.? I know you are hyper busy---I just hope everything's okey dokey with you!!!!

gotta go crunch some numbers!!!

susie

edited to add::: Elisa--I'm glad you're feeling better!!
I always like taking the Scarlet O'Hara approach to things because "After all, tomorrow IS another day....."

Take care,

KB

Hey Guys,

exercised for 35min. and will do more later.
Prayed really hard to resist the doughnuts at the shop on tommorrow.


I cooked up a lot of chicken, fish and ground tky to have quick. I always get caught without anything to eat. I am making sure this time I don't get caught.

Well I must run I hope you all are having a wonderful day and if you are not to you and keep trying. YOu only fail when you fail to try!!!


Love you all
Nichole

[elisasadler]

Hey LadyN nice to be seeing you today, sounds liek your schedule is really hectic!!! Went to the gym at 8:30 this morning and did 2 miles on the treadmill (435 calories and 30 minutes at the highest incline) and then took my aquatics class for 1 hour whooo hoooo felt good...60 oz. of water so far today but by bedtime tonight it will be over 100 oz.....Lady do we turn our stats in to you??? and do you add in the extra points for the movie and the donut shop?? Going to have a boneless pork chop and salad for dinner today and if I get hungry later I will have a cup of sugar free jello....well take care ladies and talk soon...keep up all the good work!!!!

Lady I saw that TMTL posted the link to the stats post, but make sure you let me know if we turn that in to you okay.


to the greatest teammates in the biggest loser challenge

[LadyN]

Elisa: Yes you turn in your stats to me. just post them here, and i will take them and compile them for sweets

[KBnoCarbNC]

Good evening everyone. It's so nice to read that everyone is doing great on plan.

I'm confused over the points/spreadsheet. What exactly do I do on Saturday? Calculate my points for the month or email a spreadsheet? Does the spreadsheet have to be used?

I'm so confused.

[KBnoCarbNC]

I guess I should have read the reporting thread first. Ok, now I understand!

[KBnoCarbNC]

I just read "weighlessforlife" is on our team.

Nichole - have you heard from them?

If we have a new team member, we need to bond quick!

[elisasadler]

Well ladies look like the excercise and eating rigght is paying off I am down 4 pounds today whooo hoooo!!!!! I was 209 on the firs of Jan and 215 the last week in Dec. so happy happy joy joy!!!! I am going to try and add a yoga class next week , I have wanted to take it for the longest time, it takes place 1 hour after my aquatics class so depending on my daughters work schedule (she doesn't drive and I take her to work) maybe and hopefully I can fit it in...gonna walk 2 miles here at home today because I will have my grandson all day today, then Friday back to the gym

LadyN thanks for the info on where I send my stats: and like Kb do I send just my stats or the spreadsheet to you??

LadyN, Kb, and Susie I feel I could not have ask for a better team to be involved in, thanks!!!!

Ladies, I think we should just all meet in the main low carb chat room and then get a private room from there, that way we dont have to worry about messenger services....Aim threw spyware all over my pc so I removed it....so just give me a time ladies and I will be there...ahve a great day!!!

Cant wait to meet our new teammate!!!!

[KBnoCarbNC]

That sounds great.....el Captain, can you plan a time for us to chat? I'm usually on around 7:30-8ish pm Eastern.

Great news.............after 12 days..........................





17 pounds!

[Susiecarbojunkie]

Sorry I didn't report yesterday---had terrible cedar fever, it's been really windy. I couldnt sleep because I was sneezing constantly--and then I got hives. I had to drive 35 mins. into school just to leave my lesson plans for the sub (I'm never out, so the planning was tough)

I was able to exercise 30 mins wed. and did my 40 mins this morning.

I was getting frustrated because the scale was just not moving--it still hasn't moved at all, but TOM's coming. Oh well--looks like I won't have much loss to report this week (if any )

Am I right that we report our 15-day stats here on Sat?

well I gotta go patrol the halls

I also like the idea of using the chat room---I at least know how to do that


susie

[elisasadler]

Susie hun don't you worry , I bet you losing in inches for sure that is what I did now starting to lose pounds again, thank goodness...We have a great and dedicated team and this is just the first stat check and we are gonna do great I just know it, plus hey TOM you have to expect some water gain..yuck!!!! You hang in there ok.

I am very proud of myself ...I din't go to the gym today but I did walk 2.6 miles early this morning and am getting ready to go and do 2 more..I hope lol

Kb CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!YOU ROCK
LadyN hi to you too!!!

[LadyN]

Hey guys! Seems everyone is doing fine.


Reporting on Saturday: I prefer you just post your stats here. I will then put them into and e-mail for Sweets. She will then put them into a spreadsheet and report our standings.


I am up 2lbs this morning!!! I know it's because of TOM, but dang I hate it!! I hope it is gone by tommorrow.

KB you rock!! Congrats on the 17lbs gone!!! Did you do a happy dance you better now that you are lighter you will glide accross the floor!!

Elisa: I am so proud of your exercise effort!!! I am so inspired by you! I am going to try to keep up! and On the 4lbs!!! Way to go!! We are going to be high in the standings!!!!


Wow I just love this challenge!!

What is this about a new member? I need them to get in here quick!!! Can't wait to gey to know them!!


Susie: I am also in a battle with the scale. I think our bodies just need time to adjust to the changes. I believe that you will get a visit from the Whoosh fairy soon!! The inches are coming off just wait! I go through periods of no WL and then all of a sudden 5lbs will be gone. We are here for you, just keep up the good work it does pay off.


Everyone have a great day.

I wonder if Friday at 8:00 is good for us all? If so then that is when we should meet here for a chat. Please let me know if this is not good for you.

Well I gotta go!

Stay strong and think lean!!

Nichole

[elisasadler]

Friday sounds fin to me ...for chat and LadyN and Susie sounds like you guys are close in cycle...poor things...I don't have that worry anymore due to a hysterectomy at 24....but I do still get the bad symptoms every so often....I agree LadyN I think our standings will be great!!!!!

PS I went and walked another 1.7 miles but that was as far as I got lol..so that makes 4.3 miles

[KBnoCarbNC]

Friday works for me too. Do you think we should post publically? Will we be checked out by the competition?

Nichole - have you pm'd weighlessforlife? I don't want to step in but I can if you can't get to it.

Susie - I hope you feel better soon!

Elisa - You are the exercise guru for sure!

Me - my pants felt looser today...I could breathe when I sat down!

[elisasadler]

hey Kb no guru here remember I just got started back at the end of Dec....lol but the compliment was sweet and cute, I have been called many things in my life but never anything that included either of those two words lol...glad you felt good today after 17 pounds I bet you feel great and you should.

Susie how is the cedar fever hun...hope you are feeling better

LadyN definately the blame for the 2 pounds...but that will be gone in no time, I sure hope you guys handle PMS better than I ever did

We so Rock!!!!
Can't wait to meet our new member!!!

[Susiecarbojunkie]

I'm just gonna do a quick catch-up here
as for the chat---
I'll be there---is that 8 eastern?

My cedar fever is better--i did have to stop exercise this am after 30 mins because I kept on sneezing---but I wanted to start doing my 8min abs and buns (I have the tapes for abs, buns, legs and arms---which hopefully will be another 30 mins plus some walking to warm up and cool down)

LadyN--I know how you feel----although the scale hasn't gone up at all, it certainly hasn't gone down--which I hope means that I'm actually losing and it'll catch up with me

i don't worry about others getting our hints---I mean, anyone can read these threads and I've done my share of browsing the competition.
After all--the bottom line is that we are all supporting one another anyway--that's the whole idea

I plan on getting the film tonight and making mom watch it with me again.
I read the article
and have done the doughnut challenge


you guys are such a great inspiration
what a group!!!!

off to patrol the halls
love y'all
susie

[KBnoCarbNC]

Are we chatting tonight?

[elisasadler]

I think we ar3e Kb in the LC chat room and then we can get a room from there

[Susiecarbojunkie]

did I miss it??
are we chatting???
I couldn't find anyone in the chat room---I could be doing something wrong--I'm not good at this....

i'll check back in a few mins
