Good evening Rockstars...I'm hoping I did this right...poor Lara still doesn't have the computer up and running so I figured I'd go ahead and start the forum this week. I also know poor Josh is going to be exhausted after his long work weekend. Way to go on all the weight losses...we did good this week. I don't know what happen with everyone but we had quite a few no shows...ROCKSTARS...WHERE ARE YOU???

Hope everyone had a safe and wonderful weekend. I know mine went by way to quick. I'll try to see what I can do about getting the roster together and posted. Well all have a good night and I'll be back tomorrow.

Smooches!

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.

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 (the forums are totally rockin this week)
giving each other pats on the back, support, and advice
checking in when things are hectic, so that we can help you

Thanks,
Lara and Josh and Ally


Don't forget to add your bio to the thread and to chat on our weekly ROCKSTAR!

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. If you are chronically late or not doing a weigh in, you will be on the team as a cheeleader. It is not fair to weigh in only when you are having a loss....We need to know how everyone is doing. This is the way the other teams are doing it, so just wanna be consistent.

yeah! new wk! can't wait 4 it 2 begin! rockon n g'luck rockstarz,
roxi

YAY a new week!! Sorry I was a no-show, it was my anniversary weekend and we left straight from work Friday, I totally spaced the weigh-in. Not that it will count toward the group goal, but I will try to get it done tomorrow, for tracking and accountability at least.

My weekend in Reno was AWESOME!!! Hubby and I had a great, fun, and even relaxing time. Ate delicious food (hopefully in moderation!!), laughed a lot, talked a lot. It was good.

Jinni- Thanks for starting the thread this week. Poor Lara with no computer, trying to keep up with everyone from a phone just stinks! No matter how cool internet phones are they just don't compare to actually having a computer.

All right rockstars... I hope to be able to log in a few times from work this week and catch up with everyone! TTYL

Hi Rockstars....

Thanks Jinni....you are great. I am EXAUSTED but I wanted to let you all know I'm home all safe and sound and gonna post more tomorrow. This weekend was awesome though. My first time covering motorcross dirtbike racing. It was a lot of fun, but also (as you can imagine) VERY DIRTY...lol. Kinda being "Mr. Obvious" I suppose. Anyway, I got Renee' to DVR the show for me so I'll actually get to see my work...YEAY!!!

My apologies to Ty, she had a 2 pound loss and emailed me about it on here, and I didn't get a chance to check it until just now.

I'm headed to bed, more later...

Keep on Rockin'

OK....real quick I jumped to Week 21 to catch up on what I missed. My eyes are crossing as I type and reading was even harder LOL, but I see that our lovely Miss Lara is still having computer troubles :-( and I see that Lara was thinking of stepping down as our leader. I agree with Jinni....she and I will take over while Lara gets that pesky computer taken care of. Also, Ally is still a leader here so we'll Rock on like always. I'll be on tomorrow with some more fun and exciting info. I'll talk to Lara and get all caught up on how and who to post weigh ins with and how to make a roster once again. Lara...no worries, you're our fearless leader, but now you'll be getting some help until you can (and want to) step back up to "Center Stage" so to speak (you know, that whole Rockstar thing...lol). OK....g'nite everybody

Thanks Jinni and Josh for stepping up and keeping us together!!! I am sure Lara has been stressing about her computer problems and her committment to us, but you guys stepping up will make her happy. I think we are a great bunch of people! I don't know how to do a lot of the computer postings, but if you need an assistant, hee hee, I can be one, or back up.

So, it's monday! My goals for the week are to have more salads as a meal and keep walking everyday. I'd like to show a 2 lb loss at weigh in. I also want to keep weight training with my big 3 lb weights everyother day. It's helping me get toned.

Over the weekend, I went into Kmart and got some new clothes for like $2.50 a piece!!! They fit me better than the stuff I have been wearing so that was great! I kind of think I am at a plateau so want to work harder this week so I can lose more weight.

Hope you all have a great day! Keep posting too!

GOOD MORNING ROCKSTARS!!!!

Well, I'm realzing now it's more like almost afternoon. 11am already YIKES! I actually have been up since about 8am hangin' with Salem for a bit and now am catcing up on some TV (being a bit lazy). Anyway, with my 30 hours in 3 days this weekend working I'd say a lazy morning is alright. Luckilly it was a beautiful weekend as far as weather goes. There was no rain at all!!! A very good thing when you're working outdoors.

As for our team...we will survive, we will press on, and we will continue to shed those pounds no matter what. Maybe some things will temporarilly change, maybe some things will change forever, but no matter what, ANYBODY that wants to still be a Rockstar will still be a Rockstar. Personally, I am happy to step up along with Jinni as our team's leader(s) until Lara can return as our one true fearless leader. Like I said last night, I'll just have to learn about the weigh-in's and then we're good to go. As for the pictures & roster, I'll work on my skills there too.

By "Week 23" I'd like to have a fresh roster posted. I'd also like to have some activities for us once again. The Challenge thread didn't survive too well even after it's revitilization I think partly cause it's difficult to keep up with 2 seperate forums for one team and whatever else we are all a part of.

I'd like to keep our activites in our regular forum and make it part of the discussion...like we've done with the "Rockstar of The Week" type of thing. It would still be nice to have challenges of some kind so we can rebuild that competitiveness on our team and create our own bragging rights.

My goals for the week.....

1. Learn about Weigh-In posting info.

2. Learn about creating the rosters.

3. Water, Water, Water

4. CLEAN MY HOUSE!!! (Renee' did a lot when I was away this weekend, but I have a lot of junk around)

OK....that's about it for now....I hope everybody has a good day.

Keep On Rockin'

Hey guys! I'm going to bow out of the weigh in's since I just can't seem to make it a priority to be here everyday right now. Maybe after school starts I will have a bit more time on the computer. I'll check in from time to time to see how ya are! We have a Woman's Fitness Competition going on at Curves beginning this week so I'm going to be busy with that. Everyone take care!!
