We have a winner!!!

I know the feeling Lisa- i can feel my ribs too

I LOSE

I lose. But that's okay. I got a great start on that ten pounds I was wanting to lose. All I can say is you guys kicked some serious butt. Way to go. I wish I would have taken all my measurements like Adree but oh well. My hubby keeps telling me he can notice a big difference (but maybe he is just saying that to make me feel better :)).

So, today I am going to celebrate my loss with a batch of chocolate chip cookies - something I have been craving the entire time! Then I'll kick it back in gear tomorrow and carry on with this new healthy living lifestyle.

I'm Happy With that

Final Results after 4 weeks:
Lost 9 lbs
Lost 2in off my waist!!!!!!!!!!
Lost 1in off by buttocks
Lost 1 1/2 in off my thigh

I can run twice as long as I could 4 weeks ago and I can honestly say I love water and don't need Diet Coke!!!!!

Thanks For Playing Everyone and helping me stay motivated. I can't wait to see what the next 4 weeks brings.

Amazing!

Holy cow! I can finally find my ribs again!

Maintain My current Weight!

With the diagnosis I got form the doc yesterday it will be a miracle if I can just MAINTAIN my weight let alone lose any more. I went in yesterday because I just wasn't getting any better and when I ear started hurting I knew I better go in. Sinus infection, Ear infection and bronchitis!!!That's all!!!!! So needless to say I can't really work out because I feel like death and so all I do is lay around and want to eat.

MMMMMMM......

Just had a DELICOUS Cookies n' Cream Shake! MMMMMMM, I loved every second of it. You guys should definately have one......

Not only am I sore and hungry I am TICKED!!!! I have worked my butt off this week. I have kept my calories to 1300 and I put wight on. ARE YOU SERIOUS PEOPLE. I really hope to have a killer eek this week so ya all better watch out. Thanks for Dee's score so I don't feel like a total loser.

A Little Laughter

*Eat well. Stay fit. Die anyway
*I'm in shape!!! Round is a shape.
*Practice safe eating- always use condiments.
*I'm already two years ahead on my daily fat allowance. I'm looking for skinny peopleto see if I can borrow theirs.
*Brain cells come and brain cells go, but fat cells live forever!
*The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like, and do what you'd rather not.

KARSON & STACIE

(THIS IS HOW I FEEL ABOUT GREEN SALADS)

Killing Me!

Ok guys! I just finished my water and didn't even get on the treadmill until 9:00 tonight. This is killing me! I had better look good for summer! By the way, Adree, the pictures are monumentally inspiring.

I'm Out

I rolled both ankles last night playing basketball. i am not sure how i am going to exercise for the next few days.

I was feeling pretty down on myself today because the pounds just aren't coming off like I want them to. I checked my email and my sister in law, Nicky sent me some photos. I am happy to say that my mood changed quickly into.... WOW I'm HOT!!!

Holy Crud!!

Ummmm......I need help. I am pretty sure I will not be able to get out of bed in the morning. I went to a FIT class at the gym today and I am already hurting EVERYWHERE!!! We did things I did not know my body was capable of let alone any body. I'm headed out to Neola this weekend and I just might have to show all you Neolians a few of these moves. All you need is a medicine ball, five pound weights, a weight bar, elastics, a mat and one of those half balls (not sure what they are called). Just so you can get warmed up a bit... Get in push up position. Put both feet up on the medicine ball - careful to balance. Then set your weights upright and put the weight of your palms on top. Push up in plank position - Don't worry, that's the easy part.

Holy crud is all I can say.

Sick

I am getting a horrible cold and can't even find enough energy to just do the things I have to do let alone get my workouts in. So far they have been pretty wimpy and barely 20 minutes. I sure hope the scale is nice to me this week.

TO DIRK

I have a question for you.......KISS MY NICE COTTAGE CHEESE WHAT?

FROM DIRK

I haven't exercised a lick and I lost 8.8 lbs. so keep working girls while I eat my ice cream!!!!!

50 4 me

Add 50 bonus points for me too!!! This has been the worst week ever

All For It!

Adree, I'm all for the 50 extra points, 'cause that makes two of us with the same ailment.

I LOSE but it was SO worth it!!!

Last night I was faced with a decision. On a date night with friends. Indulge in a rich creamy delicious frozen custard from Nielsens OR resist. I indulged. And it was worth every bite. I'll just hand over my points now.


BTW - I did however cut my portion size to about 1/4 of what I normally would eat and really wanted to eat. That should count for something right?????

50 Bounus points

I really think that we should give fifty bonus points to ME. I started my period mid week and so I think I am more than deserving. How can you possible lose weight when you are bloated and cranky? I really hope next week is a better week.

Thanks for the Extra pounds

I think I lost a few extra pounds laughing at the last few posts. Thanks

Ugh!!

It's nearly six in the evening and I haven't drank any of my water. Better start gulpin'! Cheers!
-Rachel

Her is a little more for you

Please never post something like this ever again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A little motivator

Lets not look like this for summer!!!!

feeling your pain

Jami I am totally in your same boat. i feel like i am fighting a loosing battle.

CHALLEGES

Ok. Last week seemed pretty simple and I thought - "Hey this is easy." Ya. Now we come to week two. I'm faced with the mall today (oh, how I LOVE my pretzel bites at the mall), tomorrow I have an lunch apt at Cafe Rio and I'm going out to dinner with girlfriends to celebrate a birthday. Saturday night is date night out with friends to ANOTHER restaurant. Holy crap. It's gonna be an ugly week.

Nikki...

I'm really not doing anything too crazy. I'm really counting calories and making sure I burn at least everything I am taking in, and invest in some Biofreeze. I'm going through that stuff like crazy! Good Luck!

NOW I'M TICKED

I worked out not only once yesterday but TWICE. In the morning for 45min and in the evening for 25 min. I kept my calories to 1000 and what did I get....... I GAINED a pound. Are you freaking kidding me??

Lisa-

Holly crap!!!! I can't decide if you are inspiring or just plain killing me. I guess I better step things up.

TO LISA

I want to join your diet/exercise plan. HOLY COW!!!! What are you doing to loose that much that fast??!!

Bring it on!

Hey All! I'm tired of the roll and chunk. I can't wait to go buy me some new "skinny" clothes when this is over with the $250! Karson, better throw in some extra sit-ups.

From Stacie!

Adree I hate to tell you, but if your smellin FEAR at my house, its probably not Karson your smellin. If you are smart you should be smellin a little at your house too. Sorry for the bad news. From your kind and caring friend Stacie

FEAR?

Still Kickin'

Hey Guys! I haven't killed myself off yet! Adree, now you just have to work on the butt falling off instead of the legs. P.S. Bobby said to send us the next pizza. P.P.S. Extra Pepperoni!

The Pizza

Ya I think it was harder on me for sure than for you guys. I had to smell the pizza the whole drive home. Oh how I wanted to bust it open and eat every slice. It's a good thing I didn't because the scale is being very nice to me lately :) I tried a biggest loser cardio video jut now and my legs feel like they are going to fall off. NO LIE

THANKS ADREE!

Thanks for taking the time to delevier us a Hot-N-Ready pizza.
Sorry to say... But im alergic to pepperoni. Bummer. how did those cookies and popcorn taste last night?

Wii Fit

If anyone has a Wii fit buy the work out game "Golds Gym workout" I think thats the name. anyway it killed me last night and I dropped 3lbs when i wieghed in today. I am under 200lbs!!!!!

H20 = the devil!

I HATE WATER!!! Seriously. It's 10:24 and I still have 1/2 a water bottle left. BARF-O-RAMA. Last night I got up THREE times to pee. When this stupid diet is over I'm never drinking water again!!!

I smell me with $250 in cold hard cash coming my way!

FEAR????

Do I smell fear Karson?????????

I COOKED IT MYSELF LAST NIGHT AND LOST 5 PUONDS, HIGHLY RECCOMENDED

From 7-9pm

If I can make it through 7-9pm at night without having a treat it will be a miracle. I love having a huge bowl of pop corn with lots of butter after the kids go to bed. There is nothing better than a big bowl of cereal or diet coke with nachos and salsa. Oh how I wish I could just bypass these last few hours of the day.

From Rachel

I am sitting here watching Rob to Yoga on the Wii Fit..... So great! Didn't think I would ever see the day....

Another Guy

Hey Rob now you don't have to feel bad for being the only guy. Karson decided he wanted to get beat too.

MOM gut

To Nikki -

See that lady in the orange. See that fun little jelly in the belly she's carrying around. THAT'S ME!! Only add a little junk in the trunk to get a more accurate picture. And that's why I'm dieting. :)

Jami

To Jamie

I want to know why you are doing this? If you loose any more weight you'll float away!!!!

Ready and excited to go! HA HA!

8 glasses of water

this 8 glasses of water thing is killing me. People are going to start wondering why I go the the bath room so much

Weigh In's

I think it might get a little much posting everyday especially for those of us that will not lose a pound every day. What do you think about still weighing everyday but only posting our weight On Monday's. You could still leave a post if you have a really good weigh in but it would not be down on the bottom weigh in section. Leave a comment and let me know what you think.

Diets Suck. Haven't even started and I am already hating life. Is that a problem? Ate a HU-MON-GO piece of chocolate cake as my last supper. Here we go party people!

Get Ready guys! I'm goin' kick your trash!

Hey Losers! Let the bun burnin' begin!!!!!

From Stacie

Be ready I'm bringing my A game!!!!

GET READY

U guys better be scared of me!!!!!!

Ready, Set, Go

Just so I know everyone is an author leave a post letting us know your in and ready!!
