Turler

I'm sad to say that I won't be able to make mine either. I didn't set it too high (15 pounds), but I ended up unfilled for a month. No excuses, I made poor decisions during that time. I will hopefully make that goal by Thanksgiving...only 7 more to go!

That Heba has my blood boiling! She is so catty! I just get that bad feeling about her every time she is on screen. Ugh! I can't wait for her to be voted off!

Goodbye thread!

Way to go Leslie! In your pictures you look beautiful! I'm sure in real life you look amazing! ~C

Wow Bea...I wanna eat at your house! You do a really good job of getting a diverse diet! I love all the stuff you post! And congrats on the closet! I need to do that too...you've inspired me. Maybe I'll do that tomorrow! ~C

This is one of my staples: 8 oz skim milk 1 scoop Slimfast chocolate 1 frozen banana (peeled! LOL) 1 TBSP Peanut Butter Mix in a blender until smooth. The frozen bananas are the "ice" so you're not watering it down. Sometimes I add a second scoop of Slimfast if I need the Protein. Sometimes I add more peanut butter or even use the PB2 powdered peanut butter. Hope you like it! ~C

Yep...mine was wrong. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. ******NAME**********START WGHT****CURRENT WGHT*******GOAL********LBS.

Leslie- Have a great trip!!! Enjoy yourself and don't stress about your food. Just eat! Relax and just be. We'll miss you! ~C

Hi everyone! Just stopping in to say hi! Hope everyone is doing well... ~C

Long2B---WOW! How in the world have you lost so much weight just since June????? I am truly amazed and so happy for you!!! ~C

Oh...and another thing.... If they are going to have in-show advertising, then cut the other commercials out! ARGH! I feel blasted at all angles and I just fast forward through it all anyway. I feel ripped off! I want to see the exercising and the training. I really don't want to spend so much time on the drama or the products! ~Carol

I usually LOVE this show, but this year I'm disappointed. Maybe it's the chemistry of the group? I dunno, just having a hard time getting into it and finding a favorite. Heba is on my last nerve. What she did last night was dirty! She has done nothing but boo-hoo about losing her husband, then she goes and splits up teams???? WTH? She is controlling and I've decided I don't like her! My understanding about the mom-daughter divorce thing is this...I believe she said her mom called her and said something to the effect of "we are getting a divorce and I'm taking your sisters with me" as in, she left her behind with the dad? I dunno, but I'm over it too. She is a little too distraught about this and I should think that seeking a real counselor (not their trainer Jillian) would be a wise move. I'm devoted, so I'll watch no matter what. I like Colleen too. She seems honest and sweet. I hope she stays that way! Maybe next season they will choose a better, more likeable group. ~C

Bea...I'm a Margarita nut! I love 'em! We aren't big drinkers, but once in awhile it's fun to let loose! Why can't we just have a separate thread for each catagory? I know it's lot of threads, but it sure would be nice to have them separated. I just hate reading pages and pages looking for a particular recipe! I wonder if we could talk to Alex about setting up something that would help us keep that kind of thing organized better? Brandy...good to see you back! ~C

Yes!!!!!!!!!!! You're right. And still have been hungry later! It really IS amazing not to eat like that anymore. Thank God for the Band!

B- 1 hard boiled egg L- salad (same as yesterday) S- 1 magic bar, 1 Reese's square (both are gone now--THANK GOD!) D- Olive Garden lasagne (1/4 cup), lettuce, 1 banana pepper, 2 olives S- 1 piece plain cheesecake (Olive Garden), 1 glass Merlot Protein- dunno Exercise- 30" (10 min Eliptical/ 20 min Treadmill) Anything to add- Good grief! What is wrong with me??? Why do I sabotage myself. I was doing fine until I had to write it down! Just kidding. I sure hope this isn't any indication of the ensuing holiday season. I cannot, will not go on like this! ~C

Hi everyone... I'm not doing so good either. Have had some bad food choices this weekend. I actually cooked (don't normally do that) and I baked a few things that I have of course sampled a few times! LOL That being said, here goes today 10/13 B- 1 hard boiled egg L- salad--- lettuce, shredded cheese, mushrooms, croutons, French dressing S- Cinnamon latte-large with whipped cream D- Meatloaf -one small patty S- skim milk 8 oz and 1 piece magic bar, 1 piece Reese's dessert bar ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Yummy!!!!!!!!!!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Protein- dunno Exercise- Treadmill 30 minutes- Bad eating day, but made it back to the gym!!!!!!!! Woot! ~C

Okay...seriously. What is wrong with me???? I didn't go to the gym Friday, and I never made it today (We had tickets to the OSU/Purdue game! GO BUCKS!). So this whole week has been awful for the gym. I only made it 3 days. Tomorrow is a new day...so hopefully I can get myself there!! ~C

Boy, it's been a long time since I've been able to make a meeting with you guys. I WAS in Columbus though today...got to go to the OSU game! So much fun. I hope sometime to make it to meetings in the future. Maybe when winter hits I'll have less going on. Hope everyone is doing well and having fun! ~Carol

Okay, thanks. I'll start there and see how it goes! Yes, they have the chip. I bought the chip, but have forgotten to use the iPod part every time I work out. I need to get in the habit of using it. I like the chip though, it's pretty neat! Thanks for the advice on where to start. I am nervous about starting on the treadmill, but I like the idea of having so much control over the time and speed. Plus if I wear out I can just stop! :tt2: ~C

Okay...today is the third day I took off from exercising. I totally suck! My day got away from me and I just couldn't get to the gym. I am going first thing in the morning!

Thanks everyone... Did you find it easier to start on a treadmill or outside? I don't know how fast to put the treadmill...a little scared! LOL I currently power walk at 3.5 mph. By the way- I just bought new running shoes--Livestrong-Nike+. They are pretty cool looking, and 100% of the profit goes to cancer research. All kinds of cancer, not just one. Cool, huh? ~C

Argh...Okay, I'll log. 10/09 B: Slimfast- notice a pattern here? S: None L: Bites of a baked potato with ham (1 slice), tomato (diced) D: Tamale, refried Beans, 3 chips, sour cream/guac and 2 Margarita's!!!!!! Protein: Don't know Exercise: None...took a second day off Anything to add: I think I really did need a break from the gym. I am feeling better today, and will go sometime before the afternoon. I think I was needing to give my body a rest. I'm just scared to though, I don't want to lose momentum. ~C

Okay...I have lurked this thread from the beginning, but after reading what Whosya said, I couldn't resist posting any longer. A few of you may know that I am a recent cancer survivor (lymphoma). I finally got banded (the cancer is in my stomach) after a very long wait. I really want to run because I think there is something very liberating about running (plus I think runners are skinnier)! I lack the confidence to even try it so far, so I read and live it through all of you. I love this thread, and I love how close you all are and the wonderful support you give each other. Thank you Whosya, for the beautiful thing you're doing. I love it. I will do the same to my shoes...maybe not running just yet, but on my way! ~Carol
