Team Skinny (Dec 2009) Holiday Skinny Bellies (Page 5)

Careful there Crews........

Getting back into my normal weigh in routine .....Thursdays:

12/17  247.4 LBS.

Nice to lose 2 lbs. in three days. Most likely a hydration problem. Need to drink more water. Next weigh in 12/24. Losing lots of weight doing lots or cardio. Hopefully I'm not losing lots of muscle.

Weighed yesterday, 181. That means only 1.1 pounds to be under 180. Yeah!

Ya don't wanna know.

oh but we do!

OK fellow Skinnies.  Time to start thinking about what virtual race we are all going to do on Christmas Day.  You can do any distance that you want and you compete against anyone else in your age group doing your distance.  I am planning on a 10K and I will be competing in the W 50-54 AG.  Will I have any competition?  What is everyone else going to do? 

We had a very poor turnout in the Thanksgiving Virtual Race and I really hope that more of you jump into this. 

Can we extend it to a few days beyond Christmas?  I don't see any outdoor running here in Virginia for quite awhile, and won't have access to indoor certainly on Christmas Day.  Since I only did 5K last time, I'll bump it up to a 10K... M45-49.

I will try and do something for a change in the 50-54 AG.

Sure.  Shall we have the window from Thursday Christmas Eve to Sunday December 27.  Would that work for everyone? 

And remember, we will have another race on New Year's Day.  Great way to kick off the new year.

Woo hoo!

I've been on Jenny Craig for 6 weeks (19 lbs down) and I decided to train for the Iron Girl sprint tri 8/29.  I'm following the Michael Pate Total Sprint Program and today was day one of training!

12/21 Start Weight: 198.2
Ultimate Goal: 150

Thanks Leah... you're the best!  Well, you were until you added the 2nd race... grrrrrrrr ;-)  LOL

And welcome Susan!  Yay for Jenny Craig and your accomplishment!

Terrific accomplishment.  Just keep the pounds slipping off and then the trick is to really keep the pounds off.  Training for the Iron Girl will sure help with that!

Welcome aboard Susan and welcome to Team Skinny. Congrats on the weight so far and the Iron Girl...Any questions please ask.

Congrats on the loss Susan!  That's awesome and inspiring!

I'm in on the virtual race.  I don't think I'll have time for much more than a 5k at Christmas, but I'll do at least a half mary on the 1st or 2nd of Jan.  Is there an athena division or do I have to compete as an AGer (30-34) ?

Cookie party last night...weigh in may be a little rediculous tomorrow.

Good job Susan. Geez, maybe I should join Jenny Craig.

Thanks for the nice comments, guys. I really appreciate it.  I've battled my weight for years and I'm tired of the up and down.  Well, it's mostly up so, yeah.  There's that.

Jenny Craig has been great.  I've tried other plans before but I don't like to cook or measure or weigh so this has eliminated that. Plus, there's a lot of variety and the problem with most plans I've tried is that it's the same stuff over and over.

The triathlon is something I've thought about for a while.  Having something to work toward and accomplish makes it easy for me to stay on track and the plan is really simple!

I'm really happy I found this site and I hope to contribute as much as I receive.

200.4 Made my goal 1 week early. Now just need to figure out a way to maintain it though xmas and new years.

138.0.  Have a happy weigh-in day everyone.  And now I am off to Northern California to see my grandchildren (and their mommy and daddy) for Christmas. 

OMG! This past week has been a train wreck. Two Christmas parties. The carrot cake got me. Been trying to dump glycogen and water all week! ARRRRGGGHHHH!

249 up from 247.4 last week and 254 on Saturday!

Tough on the holidays. Back up to 183. At least I have not gained anything(net) so far this month. That will be a first.  Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday. I will be out of town for end of month weigh in but will post in the new year. Maybe I will burn some calories on the slopes.

210.  Again.  Still.  I'd swear my scale was stuck there if it didn't go back to zero.  But this is one month where I consider stable a success.  Happy Holidaze team skinnies!
