Weight-Loss Halloween Challange: Caspers Countdown

Weight-Loss
LOL Bell! Are you familiar with Guitar Hero for Play Station? You remind me of the avatars on that game.

Ok . . so this morning, I decided I would treat myself to a coffee at Dunkin' Donuts. Every once in a while I'll get a flavored decaf (toasted almond) with a little cream and splenda. Fairly low in calories from the cream only. Well today I saw a Spiced Pumpkin flavor. I figured it will have a few more calories as it would have more milk but was willing to use those calories. Well, I will say it was quite delicious but . . . . when I looked up the nutrional value to post in my journal .. . OMG!!!!!!!!!!!

Pumpkin Spice Latte Large
Nutrition Facts
Serving Size 20 fl.oz
Servings 1
Calories 450
Calories from Fat 110
Total Fat 12g
Saturated Fat 7g
Trans Fat 0g
Cholesterol 40mg
Sodium 250mg
Total Carbohydrates 68g
Dietary Fiber 0g
Sugar 68g
Protein 15g

I was floored when I read this- 450 calories is usually my allotment for lunch!
Well, I have learned my lesson: don's assume ANYTHING when it comes to nutrional value and if you don't know, READ it BEFORE you Eat it!

LOL with that many calories I have already met 1/2 of my calories for the day and its only 10am! :eek: Well, on the good side . .I had it early in the day and have the rest of the day to burn it off, and it means the rest of the day will be lite on the food intake, hopefully meaning a good weigh in tomorrow.
Also, I will be hitting the NT later this afternoon as I'm only working a half a day.Oh yeah, another good thing . .Calcium 60% in the latte :rotflmao:.

Hope yall have a good day and can't wait to see everyones final numbers tomorrow!
This Challenge has been great fun, and the best bonus is meeting you all! I look forward to seeing you in future challenges & in your diaries. :hug2:

I have never played Guitar Hero but have heard of it. My older son is the one with all the musical talent and he "allowed" me to borrow his guitar for the pic. To bad I couldn't get the hair to stay all day!!!
 
Ok, this is the best I can do for now. It took me soooo long to figure out how to do this. I will have to ask hubby to help me. I also of course took my own picture. I wanted to just get a picture up to get the points. I will get my husband to take a better picture.
 
:rotflmao: OMG guitar hero hubby has 1,2 and the encore and the 3rd 1 comes out tomorrow @midnight I know this because HE IS OBSESSED!
YOU look awesome Hott rocin mamma!!
 
Speaking of guitar hero - my son is want a new game coming out for the 360 called - Rock Band! It sounds like fun as it's more interactive.

Bell looks like a Punk!!!! LOL :boxing:
 
Last day girls!
I threatened the scale before I stepped on it- maybe I should try that next time too because it read 171 lbs!
Either the change in calories, or a break in the plateau did it- or a combo of the 2. Likely the calories helped either way as I removed about 300 each day this week.
I'll be updating my info for the final tally of points after this post.

It's been GREAT to get to know you guys- I couldnt have done this without yas, and I look forward to keeping in touch with you in your diaries and in otehr challeges like the November 2lb Loss, Christmas Challenge, and future ones too.

KEEP THE FAITH GANG! It's long hard road, but worth it in the end!

:hug2:
 
Yarmiah congrats!!! I think it will be a straight road down for you!!!

As for me, I am afraid to tell you guy this because I think you will all think I made this up. I had all kinds of medical problems in the last two weeks which came with bloating and the likes...and I was supposed to lose 1.9 lbs the previous week and only last 1 but I think i made up for it this week............
I lost 2.2 lbs this week, my weight was 145.2 this morning.
I have a spreadsheet for calories in and out and it calculated as I was supposed to be 145.1 this morning but I was totally off with the calculated weight and real weight for the last two weeks!!!
Ok, I am in shock because this mean I reached my goal!!!!! What is better for the last day of the challenge!!!

Agree with Yarmiah, I could have never done it without all your support!!!!

Looking forward to future challenges and I see you at the Christmas challenge.

Have a great weekend.

Hello all~
Real quick........Thanks to all for the kudos on the rocking/punk momma!
If I could get my hair to stay like that for any real length of time I would dress like that tomorrow for our Fall Festivus at church!
Wouldn't that be awesome!!! The minister's wife all punked out! YE-OW!
Anyway I held steady at 203.4 for this morning's weigh in. Meaning that thru out this whole adventure I lost 15 pounds!!!!!
When I set my goal at 200 I was only going with what my mini-goal was. To make 200 by Thanksgiving. Never thinking I would even come anywhere near to that for the challenge. Maybe I will actually make it by Wednesday so that it would be before Halloween!
It has been great getting to know all of you and I hope that we will all remain on as virtual buddies. Even if we don't do another challenge (I am!) or if we do, possibly being on different teams.
You guys are the bestest!!!!!
Yarmiah!!! ~ Way to go on the loss!!!! WOOHOO!!!
Hajni!!! ~ Girl I am so glad that you are going to be on the Christmas Challenge even though you have hit your goal. YOU ROCK!!!! (And you gorgeous in that costume!)
And to all the rest of the Caspers ~ YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!!!
KEEP THE PACE!!!
 
Ok sorry to disappoint, but I am back up and add a pound this week. ARRGH!!!

Anyway, at least I could put in points for exercise.

Have a great weekend!

The challenge has been fun!
 
I lost 2.6 pounds this week. So close to goal!!!!:mad: but still:) 1 pound away...if I was any closer I would have gone to the judges to see if I could get the 100 points:rolleyes:

I lost a total of 13.4 pounds on this challenge. Thanks to everyone for the motivation.

I will be in the Christmas challenge. Hope to see everyone there!

CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE ON THEIR WEIGHT LOSS!
 
well guys its been great working with all of you. I finished out the week at 214. but find myself around 212-213 today. I lost a little over 20lbs this challenge which is more then I ever thought I could. I haven't been this low in about 6-7 years which feels amazing. I feel improvment everyday and dont let the little crap get me down anymore. This site has helped me change my life i can not wait for Xmas challenge to begin

I know this challenge is over, but last night went to festivus (our church function) and instead of dressing the cowgirl - I went as a clown. :)
