Good Morning ROCKSTARS. This week our theme is celebration and forgiveness. We are going to celebrate our losses and forgive ourselves for our past. We can't change how we ate last year, last month, or even last week, but we can make a lasting impression this week.

We lost 39 pounds this week! However, we did have some no shows. My goal this week is that I hope to see everyone on the forum al least once this week...to say hello....share goals, whatever I know from personal experience that we all have "lag times" where we are here, but not here -- we miss your shining faces when you are not here sharing about your life -

Stats for the week:
Lara - 8 (sadly I had a roughly equal gain the last two weeks so I am just now evening out)
Holly - NS (Vacay)
Angie - 4
Debbie - 1.5
Roxi - maintained
Josh - 3
Monica - 3
Tammy -6
Jennifer - cheerleader status
Katie - 1
Stacey - maintained
Jackie - 1
Jeffrey - NS
Amy - NS
Gina - maintained
Jinni - maintained
Heather - NS
Gabriela - 2
Jamie - NS
Cassie - maintained
Ally - 3
Courtney - NS
Paula - NS
Tina -1.5
Belle - 1
Little Flower - 2
Sharla - 1.8
Carey - NS
Jessica - 1
Christa - 1
Debbi - cheerleader status

**maintain is a term used for those with a gain or maintenance....It is between you and me if you gained unless you choose to share it with the team

Rock On ROCKSTARS - Reminders

Weigh ins are on Saturday if at all possible. Any time is fine. If you need to "do an emergency weigh in" be sure to get it to me by 10 am Sunday. We had ALMOST ALL ROCKSTARS weigh in this week.

As a weight loss challenge team we are here to support each other the best way that we can. To do that we need to make sure that we are:

reading and commenting on blogs
posting in the forums
giving each other pats on the back, support, and advice
checking in when things are hectic, so that we can help you

Thanks,
Lara, Holly, and Josh


Check out the New Challenges and Bio Thread! Add your Bio and count your points and you might become the MVP!!!

Just remember all that in order to be competitive (not that it is the be all of the ROCKSTARS, but one of the things we do) we have to make sure that we are weighing in. I may take people off temporarily who have not weighed in or checked in for 2 or more weeks. If you have some reason you can't weigh in for a while, you can still be on the team, but we may want to give a "weighing space" to someone else. For example, I know there are many teams who have members who are pregnant, and they are still on the team, but are not a part of the challenge. I noticed while doing boosters that two of our members who have been MIA haven't even logged on in over 10 days. This is the way the other teams are doing it, so just wanna be consistent.

8 pounds Lara great job!!!! Congrats to everyone who lost this week and to those who haven't don't be discouraged, it happens! Just jump back on board and you'll be fine.

Holiday weekends are certainly a test. Sooo much food and socialization- for me it is hard to distinguish between the two at times.
My goals this week are:
*6 days a week on the treadmill
*eat sensibly
*participate in the forum and comment blogs

Happy New Week Rockstars!!! 2nd place is a great place to be!!!

Great job by everybody this week. I am proud of all of us. We work great together as a team. I know we had some people in the NS category, so let's try to get all of our buddies motivated this week. I know that I will be away in Florida by Wednesday so I might be a NS unfortunately, but also, I'll be at my cousin's wedding and having lots of bad food for me while with my family so maybe that's a good thing...LOL. Seriously, I am going to try my best to keep up the good healthy eating while I'm away. It is South Florida in July so walking outdoors is probably a big NO!

I went to a cookout yesterday at my brother in law's house. One of his sister's made a triffel for desert that was chocolate and peanutbutter with Recee's Cups mixed in...Now, since I KNOW this was like "Hell on Earth" to somebody trying to eat healthy, I only had one small bowl of it...LOL. It was soooooo good, but I behaved. I couldn't and wouldn't turn it down cause I would've binged on something else afterwards. But otherwise, I was pretty well behaved with my eating habbits.

Today, Renee' and I have been cleaning the house a bit. Really attacking our guest bedroom and got all of our old clothes out of the closet and ready for good will. Also, I have plans to put up another shelf in the closet later on. Just taking a break now...we're going to get some laundry done today and hopefully start packing tomorrow. Also, Wednesday is her b-day (31) so she's excited about the week's events....Florida, and her birthday all rolled into one.

My goals for the week.

1. Be the best Blue Leader I can be while I'm here. FYI, in my absence, from Wednesday, July 9th to Wednesday, July 16th I am happy to say that Rockstar Jinni will step up and take over as Blue Leader for the week. Thanks Jinni...I appreciate it.

2. Walk at least on Monday and Tuesday morning cause I don't know what I'll be able to do in Florida

3. Water, Water, Water, Water

4. Have a TON OF FUN when I'm in Florida.

I will be sure to be on here as much as possible between now and Wednesday. I will really miss you guys when I'm gone.

I hope everybody has a great Sunday....KEEP ON ROCKIN'

Those are great goals! You are getting way close to your mini goal

Josh,

That trifle sounds yummy....makes my mouth water just thinking about it - I am craving ice cream right now, but my laziness is winning....don't want to leave the house, so I guess that saves me for now

Looks like great goals - Happy Sunday and congrats on the the three pounds!

My goals:

1. workout 5 times this week - either ARC, stairs, or walk
2. Saturday do my 7 mile walk again
3. See a number closer to or under 210
