To Kristen
I am so happy for you Kristen!!! You totally deserve to win this game after the many games we have played together. Congrats on being the biggest LOSER as of today ( i know i am ok using that word with you) I hope you continue in your journey and don't lose the momentum. If i were to play this game again i would certainly want to play it with you, but unfortunately, my game playing has come to an end. There always seems to be somebody who is sensitive to my style of blogging and i am done making enemies. Hopefully i can figure something out that works for me. GREAT JOB also with your new habits!
congrats!
Well if we were just going by the scores Kristin won with 8405, JRae in 2nd with 8350 and Ashley in 3rd with 8290...... so it comes down to the weight. Kristins % is 7.52 and Ashleys is 3.35%. I guess Jrae will weigh in in the morning so we will see what she ends up with. I am so proud of all of you!
Things I learned..
I started the last game I played at 172.4 and lost 9 lbs last game. From that time to the beginning of this game I managed to gain all 9 back plus an extra 14. So I started this game at 186.2. Wow 25lbs that takes some serious skill. I made it back down to 172.2 this game -14. I obviously have a serious problem it can not be good for my body to be so inconsistant. On the bright side I only swore 3 times this month. That's huge for me it was 3 or more a day before. So I am really sad we are done. I am my own worst enemy! If anyone is up for starting something new let me know. Thanks everyone. Score this week 1065.
Last Scores!
Not as bad as we thought out scores would be - yay for freebee's - but still not very good scores:
Braedon: 900
Katie: 900
Braedon's Final Weight: 189.6
Katie's Final Weight: 133.4
Braedon is finally below 190 which has been his goal for a while now! Yay! :)
Good luck the rest of you!

Winnings
We also need to decide on the final amounts for the top two places. I believe the total amount of money is $250? I was thinking we'd split the money so that first place gets $175 and then second place gets $75, how does that sound to everyone?
Other suggestions on splitting the money?
Get your votes in before the big weigh in! :)

tomorrow is the big day!
O.K. girls I will need all those that have a chance of winning to weigh in tomorrow at my house. let me know when you can come over. My daughter has a Dr. appt at 1130 but other then that i should be home. Jrae I am not sure what scale you weighed in on or in front of who but you will need to get with them to weigh in . good luck!
Last day:(
Hope we all have a good one! Only one kid sick so far! crossing my fingers. We have had anything and everything that has gone around this season. I need summer!!!

My house is a germ paradise
My 5 year old threw up again last night! So I am stuck home again! I swear if we all get the stomach flu again, someone is going to have to lock me in a padded room! With really good drugs!
Tuesday, April 26, 2011
I don't want this game to be over!
I don't trust myself! I need something to be accountable to. I fell off the wagon hard after the last game I played. I am barely back to the weight that I started the last game. This is a battle I will be fighting my whole life. I started making bad food choices very young and I am not teaching my kids good habits. Just setting them up to fight the battle too. It's all about the food! I have no problem with excersise I actually enjoy it! I just love all the wrong kinds of foods. The most depressing part is realizing that I still want to have one more baby. So I will be here again struggling with my many demons.
Endings
Sadly Lori is correct - it was horrible timing with the trip to Moab lining up with the last week of this game. Both Braedon and I just sorta... caved on the food.
At least we made it to the last week!
But don't fear - we are still keeping on top of things, just not as carefully as before. :)
Good luck to all those who have stuck with it and are doing well! Keep up the great work!

hang in there girls!
o.k. so me, jodi, braedon and katie have all thrown in the towel so good luck to the rest of the girls. end strong it will be a fight to the end. way to resist the easter candy kristin! good luck!
Have a good week!
I can't believe it's already been 8 weeks. School will be out before we know it. The only thing I dislike about summer is routine goes out the window!

I Love the suspense
The weight bonus has been very motivating! Had my free day today. Went to a movie, ate junk. Went easter shopping, ate junk. Went to my in-laws for a family Easter party ate more junk. That should help the scale!

its going to be a tight race!
i just added up the scores and so far kristin is in 1st place with jrae in 2nd- only 20 points behind and braedon is 3rd only 35 points behind looks like the weight will be the determining factor maybe? katie and ashley are 4th and 5th and could still pull out a win depending on their end weight. there is only 105 point difference between 1st and 5th that is great! good luck to you all this last week!
score 895
i think i am going in the wrong direction. so much stress in my life right now and those that know me know i cannot do dieting and good habits with stress, it goes out the window. someday i hope to be able to handle both! luckily i am still down 7 lbs from the beginning so i guess that is o.k. hopefully my last week will be a little better. love ya all!
Greetings From Moab!
Thank goodness for smart phones! :) It sounds like everyone is in the same boat as Braedon and I... We are for sure also struggling (me more then him). But even a not perfect week is better then nothing, right!?
Sadly with being on vacation in Moab I can already tell my last score is not gonna be the best... But hopefully we can somewhat stay on top of things!
I love Jenirae's suggestion... I think keeping this blog going would be helpful once this game is over. I'm all for it. :)
Anywho... Our scores:
Katie: 1000 (Ouch - Lowest yet)
Braedone: 1025

FINAL WEEK!
I think after this week, we should keep the blog up and running to give each other support and continue our healthy lifestyles even if we're not technically playing the game.
We can talk about fun workouts, healthy snacks, good ideas for recipes, and even just rant about that bowl of ice cream we absolutely had to eat because of our [kids, significant other, job, etc.]
:D

Tough Week
If it wasn't for this game I would be in a bad place right now. Because of the game I forced myself to suck it up. I did take 2 snacking penalty's ,but it could have been worse. Usually when I get in a funk everything routine in my life goes out the window. So I was so grateful it only took me 2 days to snap out of it! Score 1045

Cravings?
Has anyone figured out a successful way to stop junk food cravings yet!?
If so, let me in on the secret!
If so, let me in on the secret!
Nothing new
Still struggling with my inner demon. I am glad for the game. If I wasn't playing it I would be on a chocolate binge right now! As it is I already took a snacking penalty on sunday for a slice of chocolate cake. It wasn't worth it! We need to keep this thing going so I don't fall back into forbidden paths!

The wait is over...
This game I have been suprisingly up beat. I have a tendency to be kind of bi-polar most of the time. Maybe that little vacation threw me for a loop. I realized I need intense excersise to counter act my craziness. Not that hiking is not a good workout ,but sometimes when I excersise it's the only time I get away from my kids and I must be honest I need a timeout everyday even if it's only 30 minutes. I went for a really long walk last night but what I really needed to do was to sprint until I felt like my heart would explode. So here is the real me! Jodi if you ever figure out that balance thing let me know!
Finally, a nice day!
Yesterday was such a nice day!
I walked with my dog and husband to Subway to get sandwiches, and then we walked to the park for a nice little picnic in the good weather.
Then, I went to Lehi to visit my sister and her two kids. I haven't seen them in a while and it was really fun to watch them ride bikes and play on the playground together.
I followed all this up with a delicious free dinner at Z'Tejas and hanging out with friends later.
Best of all, this morning I was down a full pound! I thought for sure after my free dinner, I would've gained, but maybe all that walking and trying to keep up with kids burned a lot of calories!
I hope we get more sunny days like yesterday soon!

Correction
I just noticed that I looked on the wrong week in my excel spreadsheet of my scores. So my score this week is not 1055... it's 1035. I was thinking after I posted my score that it didn't seem right. I guess that's what I get for trying to hurry and post before rushing out the door. :) Sorry guys!
Good morning, Good friday!
Great week!
Great food!
Great new grandson!
Great work!
Great sunny day!
Great life!
Great kids!
Great husband!
Great grandkids!

Katie's Score
1055 - I just had to take another snacking penalty. Sigh.
I was worried this week about keeping my weight since I lost so much from the Flu - but I actually lost from where I was at Friday... not really sure how that works, but I'll take the 10 points!
I think I am in the same boat as everyone else - my motivation is falling drastically. Hopefully I can keep pushing on till the end.
Here's to another week!

Balance? What's that?
My score this week was 1000. For the past 2 weeks i have been taking 2-3 hour classes of exercise a day. I'm loving it and becoming a bit obsessive with it but it makes my body feel so good. I feel like i am getting stronger but the weight is not working in my favor. I have proven to myself again that exercise alone is not the key to weight loss. Choosing the exact foods must be the key but i have not figured that piece of the puzzle yet. I'm making much better food choices than ever but i think i must be lacking in the protein. That is not my favorite choice of food. My other obstacle this week was not caring about blogging anymore, a mental breakdown and having my life out of balance. That's the great thing about this game. If you play it right, you will be perfectly balanced. That is something that does not come easy for me. Just by looking at me, you can see that. asymmetrical hair, red on one side, blond on the other with black in between. One black eyebrow, one red. Dang..... even the boobs cant be perfectly balanced. What is important is that i never give up!
SCORE
1065. Well apparently since I can't loose any more weight, I decided that I better have a perfect score. This will be the third week now that I haven't lost anything. I've maintained, so I guess that is something. But, it is getting frustrating. My peak last time was 190...and this time i'm still 1.4 pounds up from that. But I swear, by merlin's beard, the great god Zeus, harry potters wand, the star trek enterprise, etc etc......I WILL DROP BELOW 190!!!!! haha. But for serious, next week I will do it.

I have to blog my score early we are leaving in a few for Moab. Score this week is 1030 I have officially plateaued I am up the .4 I lost last week. I thought I had broken my swearing habit. Apparently not:(

Losing steam!
My scores seem to be getting lower and lower as the game goes on :( I'm really disappointed that I wasn't able to keep up the same motivation/dedication that I had for the first few weeks.
Hopefully, I can keep up some aspects of this healthier lifestyle when the game ends...
Also, I have been REALLY bad with my communication points this week. That was always the thing I felt guaranteed to get because it was so easy.
Now it seems like I completely forget until the next day when I'm totaling my points and think, "oh crap! I didn't post anything to the blog today!" :(
I've stopped losing weight too, which is kind of depressing. I know I should either kick up my exercise or cut down even more calories, but I'm sort of loathe to do that at this point, because I know if I go too crazy I'll get burned out.
Anyway, hope everyone has a good week and is over the flu! Look forward to seeing the scores :D

Go Lori!
I love nachos too! there is something about nice weather baseball and food. We are leaving for Moab tommorrow afternoon I am a little bit nervous. Road trips seem to bring out the munchies. Sitting in the car for that long gets boring. I am hyper active so sometimes I think I just eat for something to do. I am packing all my healthy food and snacks. The best part about this trip is I will not have to worry about getting my excersise. We are going to Arches. There are so many beautiful hikes. So that will be good! It might even be more intense than my normal workouts because more than likely I will be carrying my 2 year old! I will also have to blog my score tommorrow before I leave. No internet:(
hello!
it is a beautiful day today, too bad it wont last :( today will be 3 baseball games in a row, so hard to smell those delicious french fries and nachos and not cave! I haven't caved yet! i just bring my water and chug away. love baseball! hope everyone is doing good.

Checking In!
Hello everyone! Just thought I'd check in on the blog today.
Kristin - I'm sure you are a wonderful mother! Don't be too hard on yourself. And let's be honest - your kids probably deserve the curses. ;)
I just bought some Starburts from the vending machine - I can have 5 pieces for 100 calories. If I suck on them rather then chew they last for a long time!
Mmmmmmmm...

I have a temper
I am going to ruin my children. I have no patience! I go into rages so bad that I could be compared to a 2 year old. I think I need to go to anger management!

Hey anyone else sick of the snow?

Sounds like everyone is okay with the emergency day. Thank goodness for that!
Kristin - if you did take off any points for when you had the flu for a day just either let me know and I'll go add them back in, or just add them to next weeks score.
I'm going to be screwed for keeping my weight from this week to next week - I'm still down 3 pounds from the flu... which I know will just come right back on. Oh well!
My score is 1040.

That is if we are all agreeing on the emergency day. I like the idea.
And, didn't loose any weight this week, just maintained. Kind of a bummer, but, hopefully that means next week I will loose. :)

Being sick sucks
I'm fine with either decision. I just had a 24 stomach bug but I agree it is pointless to eat just to throw up! I don't think it's good for you either. When ever I have taken my kids in for stomach problems they always say to have them drink clear liquids then start with bland foods. I think if you continually force food you will only get sicker. There is a reason your body is resisting food. I would rather have anything but the stomach flu. I am so sorry you are sick!

reminder
Ashley and Jenell I still have not received your $25.00 entry fee, if you could get that to me as soon as possible that would be great, then I can seal the envelope. thanks! hope you are all doing good this week :) besides the sickies :(
Can't Catch a Break
Stupid flu. Stupid 101.8 temperature. Stupid being sick.
I am also down 3 pounds in one day - but this is definitely not how I would like to loose the weight.
I'm just hoping I feel better soon so I'm not sick during the funeral tomorrow.

Flu.....
Well, came down with the flu last evening. Ended up not exercising last night. Was up all night...double dragon. And needless to say, my body WON'T have any food. The good thing is, i'm down 3.5 pounds this morning. That will go right back up when I eat. But Query is this...
If my body refuses to have food...Do I still take points off for not eating healthy? I wanted to get peoples oppinions on this. I will use what freebies I have left, but, in the end, there are some meals that I don't have freebies to use. Exercise I feel that I should loose points because I'm sure that if I tried hard enough I could lift a small amount of weights for 20 minutes. What say the group?

Rough Weekend, Rougher Day.
I'm not one to display personal things to others... Always one to stay true to the word because of my inability to deal with sympathy. But I feel like I have to share my feelings in some public way so sadly you are the ones that get to hear it.
Friday morning I got news that my Grandpa was back in the hospital in the ICU. He's been suffering from many ailments from failing kidneys to needing dialisis to horrible infections. The news that he was back in the hospital was not a good sign. Early Sunday morning we got the news that I deep down knew was coming all weekend long. My grandfatner had 24 to 48 hours left. His blood was too thin and the infection too strong for his frail body.
My grandpa finally passed away early this morning, only a few hours after the final son was able to arrive from Arizona to say his goodbyes. All his children and many of his grandchildren had the opportunity to see him one last time. I was also able to say my goodbye and express my love for him yesterday (where my grandpa then told me I had waited for a good man. So sweet).
It's hard to have motivation to exercise or not eat that bag of chips or piece of candy right now but I'm still managing. I am just grateful to know that my wonderful grandpa is reunited with his eldest son right now and is happy and pain free. I am also grateful for my beliefs and the comfort they bring to me.
Thanks for listening... I'm gonna try my hardest to keep working hard! :)

Checking in
everyone is healthy for now. I am so excited to go to my lifting class tommorrow after 2 weeks of work outs at home I'm excited to change it up! Have a good week! Had my free day today all I got out of it was a stomach ache. BLAH
Snow...
Ugh! I hate waking up in APRIL and seeing snow. My poor tulip buds are sagging now :(
Well, here's my update on the lemon water -
From friday to saturday, it actually worked great! I was able to drop a few ounces for a total of 10 lbs weight loss!
But then yesterday I used a free meal for dinner and kinda pigged out on chinese food :(... back up a pound today.
So, I'm going to really watch what I eat today for a more accurate test.
Have a good week, everyone! :D

Good Weather = Better Motivation
Has anyone else noticed that with the warmer weather eating healthy and exercising is at least a little bit easier?
I'm loving the warm weather and sun shiny days. Bring on SPRING!
I hope everyone else is enjoying the budding Spring. :)

Jodi we are in a fight! Game on! we will see who the loser is! j/k This is exactly why I love you I envy your ability to shock and get a rise out of people. Even though I thought you might be joking you still made me feel sorry for you! That takes pure skill! It worked you made a fool out of me! Much love!

End of the day...
First of all to everybody - this is not Mine and Katie's game. Sure, we were the ones who started the game up this time and created the blog, but it is not our game. Any one at any time has all rights to voice their opinions, to propose changes, and to leave at any point. Now that that is said,
Jodi - Never at any point did I say I want you to leave this game. I would not wish that as you are one of the few people I have met that actually stirs the competitiveness in my blood. There is no point in dragging what was said (on either side) any further as we are all adults.
Jenirae and anyone else who mentioned it -It was a beautiful day! and it was amazing to go out and enjoy it. Katie and I had a great time exercising outside today.
Heres to the next 4 weeks! Game On!

Hello!
Kristen, you're down 11 pounds!? Wow, I'm impressed! That's awesome. :D
Also, I don't remember who gave me the tip about the hot water and lemon in the morning, but I tried it this morning and will let you all know the results.
Have a GOOD WEEK! I loved taking my dog for a stroll today in the nice weather for my exercise points. Let's hope it continues!

To Lori
I need to apologize to you for having to deal with issues all day about my bad joke. I'm sorry that i made it a bad day for you. I wish the ones that were offended would have called me instead, and not have to involve you. Thanks for always having my back!
To B and K
Since you guys are in charge of this game on, I just want you to know that you have every right to X me out of your game for a joke that was so offensive to you. I don't want to make the rest of this game a negative one for anybody. Just let me know what you decide.
To Kristen
by the way, isn't that supposed to be a rats ASS? (ha ha) I'm so proud of you for working on your swearing! And thank you for your comments today. I really do struggle with this game more than you can imagine! I think we do struggle with many of the same challenges and i appreciate you being there to support me even though i was calling you a loser :)
Another April fools joke gone bad
Cmon family.... where's the LOVE!! Leave it to me to create drama. To those i have offended, i would love to sincerely apologize but cannot because i know i will not be able to control myself next april fools day. I'm picking myself off the floor and patting myself on the back for another "Gotcha" I just have to remind myself of all the other enemies i might have from previous years. I just "suck it up" and move forward. In my world, laughing and joking is funny (especially on a day that it is legal) So...... go yell it from the mountain tops or on facebook if you need to get it out of your system but just know that it was not meant to ruin your whole day (just part of it).
I really do love and appreciate everybody's courage to always strive to get healthier and more fit.
HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!

It's A BriGht SunShInY DAY!
WOW!! That was a good one Jodi.... ;). I'm sure everyone else is LOVING the sunshine the past couple days as much as I am. It's been great to be able to walk/run/scooter/bike, you name it, to every park within 2 miles of our house (I LOVE being a Stay at Home mom!!!). This week has been a super plateau week for me...infact this week I actually gained a lb (probably the pizza and ice cream while in St George!!)! That shouldn't have made me gain that much more weight though....I'm hoping its just cause I am gaining more muscle and in the next week or so it will boost my metabolism and all drop off...here's to hoping right?! In more positive news though my clothes are getting a little baggier so that's good...plus I have two of the best trainers ever....my daughters. THey sometimes come in when I'm working out and say things like 'good job mom!' 'Just a few more reps...' 'drink more water mom, it's not gone yet' ;) LOVE THEM!! And when they ride scooters and I run with them....it's a great workout...they CRUISE! ;) My score this week is not as good as I would've hoped but what do you expect when you go on vacation? I could have resisted the ice cream on saturday, or the pizza, but what fun is that? Here's to a new week! My score was 1025. Hang in there everyone! We are all improving our quality of life and getting a little bit healthier every week we stick to this! SO keep up the great work.
Oh and hope everyone has a HAPPY APRIL FOOL'S! ;)

It's a Spring Fling so lets all sing!
What a beautiful day!! Luckily Jodi only ruined it for a short time. Thanks lori for stopping the madness.
It's been a good week. I have been busy working, and working at home on my crafts.
Next week on thursday- saturday, I am in a spring craft fair.
Come see me and all the fun spring things. It is from 9-6
I also need some help seeing if you know anyone interested in a
vintage window shelf. I have taken ashley's old windows from her house and attached
a shelf along the bottom. I can make them in black or white.
They are real neat to hang indoors for a vintage look.
Call me if you know anyone that would like them or you are interested in coming. 801-243-4855
My score is 1005.

Drama...
Wow - Drama, drama, drama.
Whew! For a second there I thought Jodi had been stalking me and I had been caught! How else would she know that I was cheating, lying and a looser... ummm.... I mean... I don't cheat.... or lie... ever. *shifty eyes*
;)
But seriously.
Next time - go with the 'I'm pregnant' joke. It will go over better. ;)
I hope you all have a lovely Friday and a wonderful weekend!

APRIL FOOLS! STOP THE MADNESS
O.K. for those of you that don't know Jodi very well, she LOVES to pull April fools jokes and usually she offends people when she does. she just hopes now that you know you can all laugh at it a little. she would never feel the way she posted. she loves all of you and is very proud of you that you can all do so well. please forgive her if she has ruined your day. she is going to be gone for a while so she wanted me to make sure and post for her so she doesnt offend any one else. please try to have a sense of humor after all isn't that what april fools day is about??? have a great day, by the way her real score is 1005. I knew imediately that it was april fools when braedon called me and told me what she posted, i guess you just have to know my adorable sis! by the way my score is 990
Wow........
I hope this is a joke! I have to agree. I am not a liar and I do not cheat! I had a great week until yesterday then it was out of my control! forced myself to work out BIG MISTAKE! Then missed 2 meals and a snack because I was to sick to eat. Have to say the scale doesn't lie I'm down 11 pounds! Strangely enough I was just thinking about how much I missed you on the blog this game Jodi! I will be your support! I totally get how your brain works because mine works the same way! I was just commenting to Lori that I'm suprised that the devil hasn't come out in me. Usually by this point in the game I'm ready to throw in the towell because honestly I want to win too! I get discouraged because there are some days when I don't give a rats about anything or anyone! I have a tendency to have an all or nothing mentality. The last game we played I was right where you are! I never wanted to play again because the game just became something else for me to fail at. I am embaressed to say I started this game 14 pounds heavier thatn the start of the last game. I am not even down to where I was at the start of the last game! That was my rock bottom. So when I decided to play again. I decided it wasn't about anyone else but me. If I shove my face full of food it's no one's fault but mine! I am so sorry you are frustrated and have felt unsupported. If you want someone to cuss at lets go for a run and I'll listen! Jodi your are my favorite and I love you! I get it! score 1000
Frustrated/Score.
Jodi – I just want to let you know that I am not a liar, I do not cheat, and I do not appreciate you calling me a looser in life. I'm not sure if this is an April Fools joke or what, but either way I don't feel it's appropriate. Life is hard for everybody. I work my ass off to get the scores that I get - even to the point of being more harsh on myself then the rules tell me to be and take off extra points. If you want to rage against yourself, do it to your self, not to everybody else. It isn’t fair to put everybody else down. When you talk about how the game is about support, calling everybody else loosers in life isn’t the way to promote that. And besides, when was the last time anyone cut you down in this game? When was there any time when someone said anything negative on the blog? As far as I know, never in this game. I would appreciate if you would not act like a 4 year old throwing a temper tantrum. Thank you.

This friday sucks!
OK.... I'm just going to let it all out and tell you how i really feel! I have done this game for several times now and every time, i think that i will be the winner. If you notice, i started my first week out with a perfect score and it was slowly going down until this week when it took a total dive. My score is 420 and i officially QUIT!!!!! I feel like i have had no support in this game which it should be all about (Am i wrong?????) I feel like i am also in a game with a bunch of losers that lie their way to the top. (which is true in life. That's the only way to make it) I've decided to be true to myself for the first time and just be who i am inside and not try to fool others with my positive attitude and my high scores that are a complete lie! I SUCK AND I HAVE ONCE AGAIN FAILED!!!!! I think all of you should be true to who you are also because i think you are all losers not only in this game, but the game of life!!!!!
Sorry..... just keeping it real!!!
