Between the BLs (Biggest Loser) Summer Challenge 2010 Part 1

[lisah0711]

I'm a little late, but it's great to see so many familiar faces, and newcomers too. We are going to have a super, losing summer. My goal will be to lose the 15 pounds I gained last summer. I'm going to do it this time, dang it!!!!!

THis made me chuckle, Lisa. Very impressive. On the organization spectrum, I'd be more toward your mom's. Now, if there's no expiration date on a can, then it must be good forever, right? That's why I prefer frozen vegies.

Thank you, Lisa, for keeping these challenges going.

See you all soon.

You're not really late because your name was already on the list since you were so kind and volunteered to coach.

Remember when the only warning about cans was not to eat them if they were bulging?

It is my pleasure to hostess the challenge -- I need them!

I would love to join. My world is about to change in a big way. I am an accountant and our company was bought out last year. I was laid off and my last day is May 31st. My youngest son just graduated from college and has joined the Airforce, he leaves next week for Germany. His older brother is going to Europe for six weeks and then moving to Texas. SO by the end of this month I will be jobless and kidless for the first time in 24 years!!!!! I have to keep myself busy and out of the kitchen!!

JOANNEL! There are a lot of big changes going on in your life. A big thank you to your entire family for having a family member serve our country. Come on over and chat in our BL 9 thread -- it's never to late to join a BL challenge!

Thanks that is very sweet, my dh did 25 years, so we are used to this. DH was enlisted so to have a 2nd lt in the family is thrilling!!

You can do it! Make a plan. A good detailed pjlla plan would go a long ways to helping make sure you get through that holiday week-end.

Wow! Thanks for that shout out!!

a good detailed...huh? what's pjlla?

ME!! It's me!! I'm finally here! I know that Lisa answered your question about my "plans", so I won't go into detail. Lisa, thanks for your kind words. I am not quite at maintenance yet.... these last few pounds just won't disappear!!

I am definitely in for this challenge. If for no other reason than to keep me from gaining during the summer cook-out/bbq season!! LOTS of food challenges coming up, starting tonight with my anniversary dinner. DH wanted Olive Garden, but I find it nearly impossible to stay on plan there, so I requested Applebee's. He just ate at Olive Garden last weekend with DD, so I won't feel guilty about not letting him pick the place.

THen of course will be the Memorial Day weekend cookouts and S'mores... then my birthday, July 4th, and summer vacation. I figure at this point I will be happy to maintain within 3 or 4 pounds this summer!

I'll be back here next week after I am done coaching our currrent week of the BL challenge..............................P

How exciting! Is your DH still in the reserves -- I am wondering if he is going to have to salute your DS.

I would love to join as a loser. I had a total thyroidectomy in November due to thyroid cancer. Prior to the thyroidectomy I gained 20+ pds in less than 6 months and haven't gotten rid of any of it since I would like to strive for a goal of 20lbs.
Thanks

No he retired in 99, he did salute him at the commissioning not a dry eye in the house!!

[Greenfield1984]

Count me in please! We're planning on going back to Disney in late August and I'd love to lose 20 lbs by then! We're also trying to add to our family, and I'm thinking losing a few pounds and getting healthy habits before I get pregnant again will hopefully help me to NOT gain the insane amount of weight I gained with DD! Looking forward to losing with all of you!

 

[My2Pixies]

I'd like to join I recently joined WW and will be starting C25K soon, so this challenge I'm setting an ambitious 20 lb goal. I could definitely use the motivation.

I'm in, as you know Lisa. I am going to set a pound goal this time. I'm thinking 10 pounds, but that's not definite yet. It all depends on how high I am on 5/28. BL 9 and all its support has been great for me. I know this next challenge is just what I need.

 

[N&B'smom]

PLEASE allow me to be a part of this, I need this so much. I'm at that point where I'm so disgusted with myself that I think about my weight CONSTANTLY throughout the day. My goal is 25lbs.

For the first time in a long time, I have HOPE!!!

 

[lisalisalisa]

Please may I join. I would like to lose 20lbs.

 

[N&B'smom]

I don't know how to get the clippie in my signature!! Nevermind...got it!
