BDW Biggest Loser ~ Season 8

It was in our front yard so being a dog, he quickly smelled it and picked it up!

 

Feel better, Tash!!

A snake? Ewww. I'm glad to hear your dog is ok though.

Tash - hope you feel better.

down again, but only by a half pound ... *sigh* ... slow and steady wins the race, right?

 

BUT, my wii fit age was 31 last night.

That's right cougs!! I'm. Glad to hear Bo is doing better Di!!

Hope your puppy is ok, Diana! And I hope you feel better, Natasha.

 

I have had a crazy week at work... and it's only Wednesday. I'm trying to get the energy to go to the gym, but it's a tough one tonight. Lucky we have a gym right in my condo, so I can't come up with too many excuses not to go.

Renee thats the kind of place we need to find... so we have no excuses haha

Well I had a 2lb gain, so guess where that takes me...back to where I started. So frustrated. Ive been trying really hard, staying within my calorie range, really pushing myself with 5 days of workouts. Some days two workouts in one day. Im very overweight for my height..so I should be dropping pounds. But when your hypothyroid its nearly impossible. Unless you eat like 1200 calories and exercise high intensity 6 days a week.

 

I do feel like Im getting stronger and more fit, but it still is disappointing to not see the scale move.

 

While feeling sorry for myself I turned to food today. And feel like crap for it. When will I learn?

Awh Mel - I know it's so discouraging...but stick with it sweetie! Take comfort in knowing that you are most likely replacing the fat with muscle! And as shitty as it feels on the scale, know that you are doing amazing!! How do you feel? As long as you are feeling better about yourself & the clothes are feeling just a little bit bigger you are on the right track!

 

I went to the gym again today - I kept it light...50mins of cardio. I figure if I can do 1hr of cardio 4 days a week that's good...especially since I'm NOT a gym/exercise person!!

woot woot, down 0.6lbs this week, which is amazzzzzzzzzzzzing for me lol

 

P90X is kicking my ass though lol but it is a great workout, I highly recommend it even though I bitch about it every five minutes haha.

 

dude, seriously, half a pound is awesome! You might be losing it more slowly but chances are that means your doing it in a much healthier way. I hate to say this, but most people who drop a lot of weight each week consistently (say over 1 - 2lbs per week) are probably doing it in an unhealthy way (like that cayenne pepper/maple syrup cleanse or whatever). So yeah, congrats on the 0.5lbs because that is indeed awesome!

 

awww I'm sorry Mel Try not to get down on yourself, we all make mistakes (especially with food), but what matters is whether or not you picking yourself up and put it behind you or not. Either way, we're here for you!

 

holy crap Manders, you're an ANIMAL! lol good job!

Don't get discouraged Cougs and Mel. You are working out a ton and that is an awesome lifestyle change. The weight will come off.

 

Amanda - you're going crazy over there.

 

Keep up the good work girls.
