BDW Biggest Loser ~ Season 8

Glad to see you ladies are off to a roaring start!! Mel who set the fire under your a*s?!?! Hahaha its fantastic to see!

I'm going to some tpe of class tomorrow, undecided at this point which one. At worst, I will do the shred... hehe

I did Shred this morning! woot! I am going to try to do shred every morning and hit the gym most afternoons after work!

i don t know if this is a no no but i bought a bag of hersey's kisses and i eat one per day...it is only 20 calories so i figure it'd satisfy my sweet tooth. don't try this if you don't have the willpower! Lol.

i've noticed that i cut alcohol and my tummy is a lot of flatter. i hardly drink nowadays...maybe a drink on a saturday.

i don't eat that much as before now we have a puppy to run after. i think that's helping us after all, lol...it takes you 20 min to feel full so we eat dinner and watch the puppy at the same time instead of the tv. Usually watching tv and eating dinner makes you to eat more.

i don't have time to work out other than taking the puppy for a brisk walk. i really want to go back on shred but by the time we get back from the walk, it's almost 6 then i need to make dinner. my fiance comes home around 6ish. i'm not a morning person to work out, nooo way! it's enough that i have to get up at 5:50.

so i guess a brisk walk two times a day and random pushups, bicep curls and etc and eating healthy will do it for now.

I love spin class!!! I need to get back into it!!! Although I do enjoy doing my Jillian Michaels workouts AT HOME!!!

Okay, so my work is doing a Weigh Loss Challenge. I have 8 weeks to lose 8% of my weight. Everyone puts in $20, and if you meet your goal, you split the pot with everyone else.

I think I'm going to join in. Although, if I do, I'm almost at the threshold of 2lbs per week which is what I consider to be the most I should aim to lose if I'm doing it in a healthy way (and not crash dieting or doing something crazy).... please don't do the math. :-)

What do you ladies think? Is a steady 2lbs a week doable?

I think even if I don't make it, having money on the line will help further motivate me.

2lbs a week is doable!!!! Just stay focused watch what you eat and continue to work out everyday!

2 lbs a week is doable but it means that you need to reduce your net calories by 1,000/day, so you should definitely start tracking your calories if you haven't already started.

di that's amazing that you can eat ONE hershey kiss, it satisfies your craving, and you can put the bag away. yay you! i, on the other hand, have to remove all bad food from a 10 mile radius or i will eat it. so no single chocolate treats for me!

i did not fare well at the baby shower this weekend. i was bad. however, we bought wii and wii fit and played it for HOURS yesterday to the point that i am sore today. like my right arm is going to fall off any minute, haha!

DON'T FORGET TOMORROW IS WEIGH DAY, LADIES!!! (don't want anyone thrown off by the holiday some of us had yesterday)
