KICKING IT UP

It was fun kicking it with you guys this morning! Looking forward to Sunday. I'm going to be at the gym after 10:30 tomorrow. Pls. don't forget not to email me at my home email -- cause they're not getting to me. See ya! Goooooo Blue!!

Back and Psyched for Sunday's Challenge!!

Hey Blue team! Even though I haven't seen all of you since the weekend doesn't mean I haven't been in the gym! I just want to let you all know that I am ready and pumped for this week's challenge! I've been doing spinning with Mike D. and I saw Erika in spinning on monday! I have been doing workouts outside the gym, like dancing as well! I love to dance and it is a great form of excercise, fun and challenging! My challenge to everyone on our team, is to find a form of excercise that you really enjoy! I found that dancing can be fun and a great form of excercise! What about anyone else? Has anyone else found an activity outside the gym that is good excercise and they enjoyed it? I hope so! I miss you all and I can't wait to see you tomorrow morning!! Happy Belated Birthday Sherry!!!!!!!

OVER 115 Lost!

You guys are awesome! Your commitment to yourself and the team is shining through. I know you have had challenges with injuries, family and work obligations, and the battle with scale, but I don't see it getting you down. I love your spirit and enthusiasm! I am having fun with you guys! I hope you are too!

Sherry, you could have bagged last night because it was your Birthday but you didn't. We appreciate that! Hope you had a nice time at dinner!! Happy Birthday! I hope everyone gave you gift certificates for all the new clothes you're going to need for your new figure!

Crystal, what could I say....you inspired everyone by keeping committed throughout your wedding planning - hope you are feeling less stressed! Enjoy these last few weeks of Largest Loser as your honeymoon!
xo!

Congratulations Mark!!!

You did it! We are so proud! Now - come back!!!

Endure!

You are increasing you physical endurance to activity. You are also creating mental endurance by keeping your commitment!
I'm posting this here too to serve as a reminder.

What if the scale doesn’t budge?

Even if you’re eating less and being more active,
your weight might stay about the same for a while or “plateau.”

What are your thoughts and feelings when the scale doesn’t budge?


If you’re frustrated or discouraged by a weight loss plateau,
ask yourself these questions:

Am I self-monitoring my fat/calorie intake accurately?

Are my portion sizes accurate?

Based on my current weight, am I restricting my calories enough to lose weight?

Am I keeping my fat intake to less than my fat gram goal?

Am I meeting my weekly goal for physical activity?

Did you answer “no” to any of the questions?
If so, what could you do to tighten up
your weight loss program?
