April 09 Okay / Who Do You Think IS Going To WIN...?Hello All  and may I start this off with  to the fabulous 5 teams that won! WTG! As you know each and every one that is here and did the MPM are winners. So with that said, I think that this season is now finally a season for women, sorry guys, but it had to happen sometime. My guess whom I think just might win next week is....drumroll plz....ALI. This would be some fum if you all would put your guess down. I would appreciate it. And don't forget to vote either Roger or Mark. I did my voting and well here in my house it is split. But I am confident with the choice I made. Again, Congrats to the fine five team who won and of course my buddies Marcus and Amber.......Don't forget put down you choice who you think will win on The Finale.....................April 02 Something Wonderful Happened!I just came home from my Spinal session and the most wonderful thing happened. At the doctor's office, his assistant was strapping me in the (whatever they call it) like a hoist around your waist that attaches to a machine that has weights that pulls your spine. Well while she was securing the belt she said --Gosh you are so smal!!l... It just made my day. That hasn't been said to me in so so so long! She then again said you are so tiny.........well if the scales aren't saying anything, people are noticing. That's good. I just wanted to share this with you all. Gosh, do I FEEL good. MPM- Conclusion/winners?Well, I for one thought that some one of YOU would have won! As for myself and Erika, I know absolutly nothing about web design. Or much about the computer to put it that way .  I am 51 and this was my frist site to set up. I kinda liked it myself. Thought that for a beginner I did a okay job. There are so many wonderful sites in this community of friends that should have won. Did anyone send in a self addressed envelope? That will explain the winners. Anyway my friends.........We are ALL WINNERS. We found each other at this and shall continue on until the end Are you with me? Hello Friends. I must say that I have been MIA latley, Sorry! But with that said. I have not gained any weight. Still the same. Boy, when they say that you are close to goal ( normal weight) the harder it is to loose, they ain't kidding. Also, since starting this Spinal Decompression treatment, I have not been exercising like I was. Just getting in my 3 miles on the Treadmill and some biking and Ellipical. Other than that no pwer weight trainning, no boot camp. I will and am trying to get some of that in this week. The back is so much better. Less and less pain each and every week. This is my 4th week, I have 8 more to go. Now, Last nights BL show was awesome. I am glad to see that Kelly and Ali are still there. Maybe we will have our FIRST female Biggest Loser. So all take care and Yes, I promise to be here. Who are the 5 teams that won? Anyone know yet? Your weight lost friend all the way..........................  March 24 MPM/Winners, yet to know which 5 teams won! Has/or anyone recieved the self stamped envelope with the list of winners yet? I have not. Does anyone have any clue as who the 5 teams that where lucky and got choosen? This is killing me. It has been 2 weeks come tomorrow, we should know something. As soon as I find out I will share the info and I hope that someone who finds out before me will do the same. How is everyone. Still on the lossing game here. Still staying the same. But, I think if I get the go ahead from the Spinal Dr. I will up my owrkout some more. Summer is just around the corner and my new gaol is to shed these last 15lbs before summer arrives. All take care..................March 21 Another Friday Weigh In....Is It?It is! Happy Good Friday all. Today was/is another weigh in. For me I guess these weigh ins are just to prove I haven't gained a damn pound. I sure am not loosing any! Although I have been told that I am at my ideal body weight, I just want to see these extra 15 pounds go! Is that unreasonable to ask? Boy, when you hear people say, when you get close to your goal, those pounds are harder to loose. They're so right! ugh! But, I love myself anyway. I'm doing the best I can. On to other news, it's been now 2 wks into this new theaphy for my back (Spinal decompressin) and that indeed is helping. Now, up to 65lbs pulling/stretching me for now 20 mins. sessions. The pain is about 45% gone now. I can sleep. Walk and do whatever I need to do without alot of the pain. No more pain meds, no more sleeping pills. This is a great progess. I have 10 wks left then a new me so I have made another goal 10 wks to loose this last 15 pounds. Sound Good? Yepper it does. So going forward ......I go with this mini goal. Starting lets say, Monday. Naw Today, why put off what I can do tomorrow per say that I can do today. Hang in there friends!
 March 17 Who Are The Winners?Does anyone know which 5 teams where the lucky winners? If anyone knows please share with the rest of us. We all would be glad to know, at least I would. Also Happy  I must say I was MIA over the week-end. Caught some kind of bug. Been dead sick in bed for the past few days. Am up and around today but not 100% yet. I did get a flu shot, but it hit me anyway. I've never been so sick before in my life. Oh well no  green beer for me.March 14 Again...Where is Everyone??? There has been very few of you who replied to my other post. I know that there our many of your that our still in this journey. Please give your support. Although I am close to gaol, my daughter, Erika is not. I will be here until the end for anyone even after I meet goal. I know how hard it is. I know how important support and encoragement is when you are loosing weight. I have just found out that my healthy weight is where I am at now. Maybe that is why it is so hard for me now to loose weight. But when I calulate my BMI I should be 15 lbs. less. So I am here for all of you for a long long time. We are in this till the end, whenever that may be...........Your weight loss buddie....RobinMarch 12 uh? Where is everyone?Where is everyone??  I am sure hoping that everyone is still continuing on with this. It has been sorta quite here today. I've gotten no replies from anyone. Well, I thinking that maybe everyone has taken the day off or such. If you read this, please reply so I know that you will and are going to continue on for the new you. I have read some blogs/and ansered them, as they say that they are in this for the long run. Hope to hear from you................Robin  It is a Glorirous Day! I am so happy, excited that so many of you are continuingon this journey. WOW,! Now I can hardly wait to see who are the 5 wonderful teams who win. I have awesome news, since I started this Spinal Decompression treatment last week, I have been free of pain pills and sleeping pills for three days/nights. It has alot to do with exercsing also. So onward to a new me,New health and pill free.........I FEEL GREAT! I just needed to share this....March 11 Look What You Done For You Lately!Love is in the air  We started this as a team. We are now a community  and aren't you proud of what you have done for yourself. This is the frist step to a new you. We, Erika and myself (Team slip-n- slide) encourage everyone to continue on.  You will feel so much better. We know because we do. Both mentally and physically. We have made so many wonderful friends from all walks of life. We are fortunate and blessed. Just wanted to say  and please keep in mind that you are the  . Please keep in touch with us.  Your weight loss friends.............Robin and ErikaConfusion On Weight Loss!/ Final weigh In Well I can tell you that not all scales are Equal!
 My scales say something way different than my doctor office scales. Usually when you get weighed at the doctor office, they tend to weigh more. Not in this case. They weighe me less. Yeah, less than mine at home. I like the doctor scales. 5lbs less. Which one do I believe? To be fair and honest, I will have to stick with mine at home ( although it is temping to take the larger weight loss) I need to honest with myself. But, what one is right?? For this last weigh in I will be honest and stay with the ones I have been using all along. The Home Scales. So, friends I got on this morning for The BL last weight before judging and I did loose a pound. Total loss for this 9 wk challenge is 6 lbs. Not bad, with the gains, losses and stand stills., althoug I lost these pounds very slowly ,it will stay off ,losing slowly maintains it will completely stay off. This I will see to. As for my partner, Erika, we will have to post her weight loss later, she is stilling sleeping at this time. She would KILL me if I called this early and wake her.  Sleep is one of the tools in loosing weight as well.  We will post her last weigh in for this contest. These will not be our last weigh ins. We have a long journey yet ahead for us. March 10 Win Or Loose- Team Slip-n-Slide Are WinnersHey Friends, It's Monday. Sad to say that on Tuesday all this comes to a Finale. Needless to say we are not. We, Team Slip-n-Slide, Erika and Robin, will still continue on this journey because I still have 15/20lbs left to go.Erika, well she has a bit more to go. About 61 pounds..We both know that there are many out there in this wonderful cyber world that MSN and Biggest Loser has STARTED for us will continue along the way with us, Robin and Erika. Team Slip-n-Slide. I, Robin, started this challenge with the encouragement of my daughter Erika, without any intention of even winning this. Now, I want to win this badly. I want to and deserve to win this because I have lost weight, (about 30 lbs before this challenge)and 6 lbs in this challenge. I know how hard and difficult it is. I started this journey so that Erika could loose. Give my support and encoragement to her and I found myself giving support and encouragemnt to many of you and Erika, with alot of humor. I am at a plateau,Have been for quite a long time. Time to break it, wouldn't you say? I need to know if I am excersing correctly. If my diet is correct and so on. One of the reason I want to win. The other is so that Erika can get a trainner.So I can plunge this plateau. Move it down. Erika is weak when it comes to taking care of herself...Sorry Erika, but she needs to have someone in her face, demanding the hard work, pushing her so hard she will yell back at them. Someone other than MOM, it is hard doing so with the long distance between us and over the phone. She needs disipilne badly. She needs to do this because of health reasons. We have so many health issues in our family. Colon cancer, breast cancer, heart diease, strokes, gout, diabetes, just to name a few. I have asthma, and I found that reducing my weight has tremendously reduced my medications and I breathe much better. I now can walk, run , zipline ,hike a mountain, swim ( these are a few I could not do without running out of breathe ) I can now .do anything I want to do and not use my asthma as a excuse as to why I can't get up and move also and have fun (even have sex) yep, I couldn't even do that without the worry of not being able to breathe., running out of breathe and having to use a rescue inhaler. Now, it's better than ever...enough said...we won't go any further on that subject. This has taken so much off my shoulders. As I see my daughter with the added weight she has put on in just a few short years will/or already has developed many of these health issues. I want to halt that process, This is why, NOW I feel I want to win and deserve to win this. But, really everyone who is in this challenge deserves to win, we are not alone.
So in the end whoever wins...please take every inch of advice and instruction and change your life for the better. I love you all and it has been with such get pleasure that I got to chat with you, give you suppoert and get support from you and I hope to continue on. As you all know by now I have a quote I continue to implement throught this entire process it is "TURN THE PAGE" go forward and finish what you started. I shall post again tomorrow. Good luck everybody.  We team Slip-n-Slide are winners no matter what...because we have you.  P.S. To be able to win a trip to L.A. would be awesome for us or any trip just so we could be together.... We live in different states and we haven't seen each other since Christmas. It would be so great to have some time together, mother and daughter and share this entire experience together. We are like the bestest of friends. We miss each other and would love to enjoy this mini vacation to L.A. We pray that we will. Good luck to everyone because I know you want to win too! It ain't over til the fat girls inside us are gone! Going forward to finish what we started!March 09 Contest Information?Hey Friends, this wonderful weigh loss challenge ends Tuesday. Does anyone know if our pages( Live Spaces) of our team/ person are automaticaaly submitted or how do we submit them? I am not the only person who has this question. If there is any information any one has ,please would you share it with the rest of us. I thought that once you submitted, ( at the beginning) it was submittted. is this so? If not, please advise. Inquiry minds want to know. Thank you ever so much. March 08 Send Some Wishes====PleaseHey! I am asking all of you glorious weigh loss friends to send some Happy thoughts, Happy wishes, Happy enccouragement, Happy words, Happy wisdom, just something to my partner in this challenge, Erika her space is ndgirliegirl.spaces.live.com she sorta is overwhelmed with her new work schedule and this week she has gained 4 lbs. I don't want her to give up and she really needs this. I want her to know that we are all here for her and she can do this. I just try to keep her focused and I always try to tell her there is nothing more important than giving herself just 30 mins. a day to do some exercise, for herself.. All the encorgement will be greatly apprieciated. Thanks BL weight loss friends. She is one of those I wroted about in one of my blogs below of, Has it ever occured to you why others give up. Read if you would like to..........we only have a few days left. Encorage everyone also. March 07 Biggest Loser Week 9/Weigh InHello Friends It is the last Friday weigh in before this BL million pound match up challenge is over. Wow, where has the time gone? I did not loose....nor did I gain...I stayed the same. Which was a complete surprise to me. I had some issues with my back and I could not do my complete work out program. So, Yes, I am pleased this week. Sounds funny to not to have lost, but under the conditions I was facing, It is great! I will have one final weigh in before March 11th. However I have lost in the challenge has been great. I am only 15/20lbs to my goal. It seems that these last pounds to my final destination (goal) are the hardest pounds to loose. They seem to want to hang on to me. I guess it is because they've been with me for such a long time,they just don't want to let loose. I'm the boss and they are going away. I will continue this journey at the completion of this challenge. I hope that the wonderful people here that I have connected with will also join me in continuing the journey. I hope that all who started this journey will "Finish What You Started" No matter how this challenge turns out, Win or not I already am a winner, Erika is a winner. We found such  people here in the community. If has been the handle that Erika needed. I thank each and everyone of you . Just reminder my deepest friends "Turn The Page" go forward and finish what you started! A little FYI Erika and I finally came up with our Team Name..........Drumroll plz.........We are now Team Slip-n-Slide. If really fits this journey of loosing weight. We seem to slip and slide to loose our pounds. So it fits us. Do you like It??March 06 Talking about Should I Stay or Should I Go?
Quote Should I Stay or Should I Go? Hmmm I wonder if This CountsI just went for a session for my back: Spinal Decompresssion. It's where your body/back is stretched. This lasted for about 20 mins. I wonder if I burned any calories. I know you do when doing Yoga stretches and warming up stretches. Gosh, wouldn't it be nice if I did. Anyway, if feels good ( maybe some discomfort but you gotta do what you gotta do) and my back feels a wee better. I also can continue with my normal workout sessions. Wonderfull news. UGH!I've been suffering from back pain for more than a year or so. So I went to this Doctor on a free promo....and I just found out I have spinal degeneration of a few of my dics and I have nerve damage. OUCH! So I have not been able to do to much exercise this week. Tomorrow is weigh in....UGH! I have started treatment. Have continued my 3 miles walk and biking, ellipcal, other than that no weight trainning nor to much cardio other than biking, elipical and walking. .So I hoping to see something. I am so glad to finally find out what is wrong. ( this is the third MD I've tried to find out the problem) If it wasn't for trying to ace these pain pills and sleeping pills who knows where I'd be. Actually they stopped working as much. So this week I have not used any pain pills nor sleeping pills. That is progress in my mind. Until tomorrow ,all have a tremendously good day.. March 05 Has If Ever Occured to You WHY someone gives UP?I ask you this question because the more I snoop and post on others pages this is the REALITY that I have came up with. We all, everyone, had started this progress some 9 or so weeks ago with so much enthusiasum and excitement. With the knowklege of finding people across the nation that are in the same long struggle of loosing weight. Everyone started out so strong and then, plop! NADA! WHY? The answer my friend, in blowing in the wind, the answer my friend...is that nobody, no one replies to some people's blogs. They post a blog to vent, to rejoice, to get info, to seek encouragemnt, something that most likely is not in their everyday life, but thought they could find it here. etc. in return when no one comments on their blog so in turn they give up. Think that no one really cares. I am a extremely busy person. I try to find time to sit down and give what support I can give. When I get onto my computer and I see that someone has blogged...... I go and read and I will comment as much I can. Whether it'll be a long comment or something as short as awesome, great job or WTG! This enocuragemnt is what we all need. So be considerate and comment. It really will goes along way. It will help someone in ways you would never know. So, please the next time you read a blog try to think of you, how you'd feel or if you feel the same way or experience the same but please try to comment on their blog, make them feel they are important and that they are part of this long journey toghether with you and millions of others. Let's try to keep everyone filled with excitement, encouragement and will power so that each and everyone can "Finish what they started" Loosing the weight that has blogged them down. Thank you for your attention....................... |
