dharma - thanks for calling us out hon!
newbride is right... I think alot of us have just been posting a comment here and there trying to just update our own status, and I haven't had much time to read everyone else's... =( but ALL of you are dearly loved by me!
what the heck is spinning? is it a dance class?
what are some of the other things that everyone is doing to exercise this week? I use the ellipticals at the gym and either do a half hour or and hour, and on the short days, I do 30 min of lifting weights as well... or at least that is the plan. I got in my running and weights today =)
btw em - your pics are looking great =) keep up the good work! and way to go for actually paying attention and looking for the details. I think that so much of the time we focus on what the scale is telling us and forget to see the difference in our own bodies.
I have lost over 30 lbs - and I still look in the mirror sometimes and see the old me - I can put on a smaller size pair of jeans and a smaller top, but I still feel large... I think if I had paid more attention to the way my body was changing, it would have made a difference in my self-confidence now...

I'm sorry to hear you are struggling w/ self confidence hun. Its so important. I think my problem is quiet the opposite...I think I feel real good about how I look and then I look at a pic of me and I"m like..oh man..do I really look like that??? yuck!
As far as excersize is concerned, I normally do my pilates dvd and biggest looser dvd...but today I did mow the lawn, took 30 min's. yest we went to the zoo and so I walked for a few hours (stopping of course, to observe the animals).
We have a good 3 more days till weigh in girls, lets make it a strong one!

Hello every1!
Dari you have came along way you are looking gr8!
I get a little discouraged when I look in the mirror which its usually
at stores trying on clothes because I don't own a full length mirror.
But clothes don't lie and you have just went to a size 14 and a "12"
is around the corner.Ok freddy lets work out and lose some major
weight this week , we have an awesome motivating team! Tammy

Oh wow you all are a bunch of sweethearts! And you're right i'm just as guilty as anyone else.
Lets see, spinning is cycling but its class form and done to music. The teacher leads the class in a ride (basically different exercises to each song). I loooveee it. Its extremely hard but its not hard on my knee's and such. Try it if you get a chance!
It wasn't me that danced, I wish! I always wanted to take a ballet class though
Amomo, give it time. It really does take awhile for our heads to catch up to our bodies. Sometimes I think i'm just this smaller version of what I was before, all the same lumps and bumps but snack size. But its not true! We forget SO Fast what we really looked like. Do you have before photo's you can look at, maybe even keep on the fridge? That REALLY helped me realize how far i've come!
I think we won this week challenge wise, i wish we knew FOR SURE. We will end up being the very best team no matter what though!
Have a great day you all!!

Hello every1!
Congrats EM! Yeah I am guilty with the weighing and
hopping on the scale before Friday, matter of fact today is the 1st
day I woke up got dressed and didn't see what MR. scale had to say
this morning! But I had to record my weight yesterday for the last
weigh in for the 6 week challange it said 196.5 so I went with 197
but I didn't move my ticker not until FRIDAY!
I am bad with the scale I am trying to not hop on everyday but it's
hard it sits right in my bathroom which I use 10 x's a day lol!
Good luck every1 with the exersice challange I am doing better
with that than the veggie challange.Tammy

I do have some "before" pics... and I really do need to post them - I just haven't got them on the computer yet. I think what shocks me is that we really are smaller with the same lumps and bumps =) so even though I'm putting on a smaller size of jeans, I still have a little roll above the waist... it is all smaller, I just wish it would be gone by now =) And I see all of the cellulite and bumps that people can't see outside of my clothes... i'm just hard on myself I guess...
guys and girls, we are doing awesome! we have all done fantastic with our weigh-ins and working on the challenges - and we are maintaining our lead with the posts =) YAY!
I'm kind of bummed, b/c i did step on the scale this morning and I had gained a pound... but that was with a full three days of not really caring what I was eating and enjoying myself with family in town (including quite abit of drinking). Hopefully I can work on getting rid of that pound again so that I'm back on track
