ok got u a restart!!

DANG where is everyone today!!!  so im sitting at the airport, flight has been delayed till whenever.......what the hell is that, sure am glad my laptop was in the car : -)

Question .......
Where would ALMONDS fall under ??  Fat or Protein ??

hey vk thanks for asking about the meeting. I winged it and did well. I like that meeting because there is no one in it that just likes to hear themselves talk. Have you ever been stuck in a meeting with someone like that.  So anymore V-ball lately?

Chris sorry to hear that you are stuck at the airport. I'm just peeking in real quick. have to get some other things done.

Judi..I'm not sure but I'm thinking fats. Let's see what others say

Nycolea

That sounds like it would work. The ladies on this team rock and are very creative.

ok back to work no seriously I have to get some things done. lol

i would say fats too, but im not really sure?????

work what is that???  Dont they KNOW CC IS WAY MORE IMPORTANT!!!!!

i wanna play volleyball think i can get a game going here at the airport?

Don-I think I do best when I'm winging it!  I also do pretty good under pressure.  Handy skill as I am a procrastinator.  Lol   Ugh, windy people in a meeting is NO GOOD.  Yup, t-ball last night went well.  No t-ball tonite.  My goddaughter has a dance recital I'm going to.  I get to watch them get in some cardio.  Lol

Chris!  I'm here.  I was getting lonely too so I did some work.  Lol   Go figure!  I probably should do some more but it's only Wednesday. *shrugs*

I went to Torrid (it's a +size store in my mall).  They're out of bathing suits...one piece bathing suits that is.  I don't have the courage to get a two piece I don't care how long the darn tops are!  Lol   Next summer.  It's only freaking JUNE!  The pools over here just opened two days ago and everyone is sold out of suits...wtf!?!?!?  Did I mention I hate that?  Lol 

Oh yeah...so on the Torrid subject...they make you feel so good...their size 14's are labeled as size zero, size 16 is size 2 and so on.  How do you like them apples!?!?  Lol

Just not too close to security.  We don't want to have to fly over there to bail you out.  Lol  

Judi...protein is more points.  Lol  Maybe I'll go spy and see if anyone else has mentioned anything on the subject.

I say almonds count as protein.

I would just like to announce that I just finished my last final at UC Davis and am now DONE!!!!!

Nope Judi...I surfed all 6 threads and nuttin honey!  BUT...the link Nycolea sent (yes I checked there too) and it lumps "nuts" in with the meats, beans, and eggs....which means....PROTEIN!!!

I'm now thinking not everyone has checked out that link Nycolea had in her email describing this challenge.  I say that because some people are posting numbers in the 20's and 30's.  Unless...they just don't like veggies of any kind.  Hmm. 

WOOOHOOO to KT!!!  Bye bye UC Davis  *waves bye*

i like this challenge (the whole thing in general, not just this week's) is a great idea, but has become ridiculously competitive. We can't even win a damn challenge w/o people saying we didn't really win it. I love to be competitive but not to the point where it's stupid and petty. I don't want to let the group down (and I'm not quitting right now) but I'm getting a little tired of where this is headed. Maybe I shouldn't post this here but I guess I don't care who reads it. Just my $0.02

Hey! You guys WON that challenge... didn't you see the "winner's badge"? That makes it official.  lmao

Oh, and congragulations ktcort! Got anymore meatloaf in the fridge?

Vlamorick, I really wish we had a torrid here, a great self esteem booster I'm sure.

i know we officially won but some people don't see it that way

wooooooooohooooooooooo KT u did it, you finished all your exams!!  Im very proud of you!!!!

man a TORRID everywhere would be nice : - )

man oh man ii guess KT you read anothers teams thread huh?  sorry i had to post on theirs, was tired of hearing it, and sorry nycolea too.........

but the weekly challenges mean nothing, its the end that counts!!  Not just winning it all, but we can look back at ourselves and see what we accomplished and learned, i dont know abut anyone else, but i learned to use my elipitcal during cardio week......and i am know drinking more water cause of the water challenge!!!!!  Now i love both of those things, and its because of it here!!! so thank you all for pushing me!!

As far as what other people say, frankly well i could care less, i only posted on their thread the facts........maybe i wont read others threads anymore lol

ok guys i just watched ghostrider what a cool movie!!!  I also need a restart i went over today i binged!!!!!!

ok guys nite all talk to you all in the morning hugzzzz

yea i just wish this could remain a friendly challenge to encourage us all to lose more and go a little outside our comfort zones to do more to lose weight. the challenges shouldn't be meant to give any one team an advantage over the others (the current one doesn't adn i appreciate it being modified to be fair to all teams). i just want to be encouraged adn motivated to lose more and attitudes just don't do it. even though we are all "competing" against each other, we are still here to help each other.

I totally agree with u 100 percent!!!

i still cant sleep dont know what the hell is wrong with me!!!!!!  here it is 1 30 and i am reading CC

GOOD MORNING FELLOW H4L'ers!!!

Wow I missed a great topic last night.

KT...Don't get discouraged.  You have this team to help you.  Don't worry about what others are saying.  We are our own support.  I know that it sucks that people are making this into more of a compitition then it really is.  Come on everyone knows it is nice to win, but can we all just look at the BIG picture.  We are not here to win water, exercise, or clean eating challenges.  We are ALL here to win the WEIGHT challenge.  And by that I mean with ourselfs!!!  And sure a friendly compitition helps get us motivated, but it isn't suppose to discourage us.  So just remember why you started this challenge in the first place.  I know that I am here to support you!!!  And by the way WOO FREAKIN HOO to you on finishing your finals!!!

Hope everyone is having a GREAT morning!!!

GM ALL :-)

I agree w/amaxpo ..... WE ARE our own support and further more .... WHO CARES WHO WINS REALLY ??!!...... WE ARE ALL WINNERS BECAUSE OF OUR ATTITUDE AND COMMITMENT TO GETTING HEALTHY 4 LIFE !!! 
**applause, cheers, applause, cheers, applause, cheers for OUR TEAM !!!!**
Thanks all for checking on the "protein" for me !!  Even though I only ate 10 pcs .... I wanted to make sure I counted them in the correct catagory. 

Chris - hope your sisters got off safely yesterday and I'm happy to know that I'm not the only one that "falls off the wagon" once in a while :-)  We'll pick ourselves back up and try again !! 

Don - glad your meeting went well - and thanks for your support on our team :-)  "WE LOVE YOU MAN" !!! .... of course I can say that about ALL my team members !!  LOL

VK - how was the "cardio" show ??   Wish we had a Torrid here .... I think I was BORN LARGER than a size 1 or 2   LOL !!!

Katie - WOOOO HOOOO FOR YOU !!!  CONGRATS !!!  Now that you're smart and getting skinny .... what's on the horizon for you ??

Well ... guess I better get back to work .... I SERIOUSLY don't get much done since I found CC  ..... WAY TOO MUCH STUFF TO READ !!! 
I LOVE IT !!!

MAKE IT A GREAT THURSDAY !!!

{{{{ HEALTHY HUGS }}}}}

Guten Tag H4L Team

Amaxpo...we did miss a great topic last night. DOH!!!

Kt please don't let the haters get to you. To be honest I didn't even know other teams were talking smack. I don't look at their post and it never even occured to me that someone would talk smack cause this awesome, beautiful, motivated, and just plain kick ass team has never done so. When we have lost the challenges, we just keep going forward. Eventhough, we lost the challenge we still win cause 1) we loose weight the healthy way and 2) we learn additional information.

It's always easier for people to point the fingers at others and say they cheated or that's not fair than taking a real look at themselves or their team and working on what really needs to get done. Does that make sense? For example, I didn't go to college but you just finished your finals and are moving ON (CONGRATS). Now I could easily say "well it's easy for her she doesn't have kids..blah blah blah" but the truth is that it took you hard work and dedication. Furthermore, if I would've applied myself and really wanted it I could've accomplished it as well but I chose not to.

So to end KT...they have yet to erect a statue for a critic.

Amaxpo/Tess....sorry guys no gym today. No bueno I know. I will go tomorrow for sure.

Chris... did you get to see the fights? what are u doing up so late? Who am I to talk, sometimes I go through the same thing. Oh um I need a restart...met some friends for drinks last night...good times.

Vk...do they have a torrid for dudes? lol

Judi...aaawwww thanks but you can't have my Bud Light (don't know if you remember that commercial) lol I so agree with addiction to CC. here it is and first thing in the morning I'm already on. 8 )

ok well happy thursday to all. hasta
