Okay girls....come out come out where ever you are!!!

Holly had a great idea for our April get together! Christi and I have signed up for a 5k in Provo

http://www.run13.com/

You could walk, you could run, you could jog, you could crawl...but wouldn't it be awesome if most of us could do this together?!

What if for our get together we run, walk, jog the 5k and then make it kind of an all day thing (or even half day). Go to lunch, take pictures....all that jazz!? If that is something you want to do, GO SIGN UP for the 5k!

New message board!

For those who haven't seen...Christi made a message board for the BL girls..

Also, if you haven't check the board, we need to plan our next monthly get together! I suggested maybe the 7th, because it's our "official" weigh in day and it's a Friday! What do you think??

An idea that Patty had..

I will let her explain it more in detail. But you can download the file at my blog:
Patty's Idea
I couldn't figure out how to upload a file on blogger.

An idea!

Okay, so for a while now, I have wanted to make my own (7 points or less) meals kind of like Lean Cuisines where I would make a big meal, but cut it into smaller portions for lunch or even dinner. I normally do not eat what my kids do, so I have been hooked on Lean Cuisines lately...just hate the cost!

SOO....an idea for our next get together would be for everyone coming to bring enough for one family meal (for everyone) and then you can either have it as a family meal or break it up into individual meals! OR something like that, we can work out the details, but everyone would go home with some meals!! Then you'd just have to pop them in the microwave, add a salad and you'd have a good meal!

OR everyone could make a large meal before hand, bring it and then we can all split it up into individual servings. That might work better and then depending on how many people show up, we could have up to 9 different varieties of lunches/dinners!

We'd all just have to make sure these were HEALTHY meals and not just some yummy, calorie filled casserole or something. all remaining under 7 points (350 cals) per serving.

What do you think??

If you like the idea, and have meal ideas that would work well frozen and then heated up, leave a comment! I really suck at meal ideas...

Is it too early...............

................to start planning our NEXT get together?!! You guys, it's only TWO weeks until our next BL is chosen and until we do our pictures again! Can you believe that?!! Because everyone is busy, I thought we could start talking about it now and throwing out days that will work for everyone!!

Also, there is a new question to the side.........

Good luck with these last two weeks girls!

How's everyone doing?!

So, I've noticed that as we get into this next month, it's harder to stay motivated. The first month was easy because I was pumped about this BL and all the support. (or maybe it's the PMS talking) lol....

SOOO HOW'S EVERYONE DOING?!! Hanging in there??

Girls night tonight!!

Well I'm not "sure" who all is coming, but here are last minute details as a reminder:

* My house, 6:30pm.

* Bring your "after" outfit with you (or just an outfit you have now that is too tight for you) for pictures. If you don't want to, totally fine...it would just be fun to get everyone coming in the picture!

* If you need my address email me at missa4_25@msn.com

* And be ready to have fun!

See you tonight!

AND THE WINNER IS.................................................

CHRISTI with a whopping 16.4 lbs lost!!!! Christi you are awesome, CONGRATS!!!!!! And to all of you, YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!! Keep up the great work!

Tomorrow is the DAY!!

Ok, girls...Tomorrow is the BIG day when we find out who our biggest loser of the month of January will be!! How exciting is that?? We would like it if everyone would weigh in first thing in the morning so we can announce the winner as soon as possible. Now, you wouldn't want to be the person that we are all waiting for, now would you?? ;) I am sure everyone wants to know who it is!!
We are so proud of each of you! You all have done a remarkable job this month and you should all pat yourselves on your back! Keep up the good work!

Hi, Melissa here, just a reminder to send your weights to missa4_25@msn.com THANKS!

Reminders:

* WEIGH IN DAY* is THIS Thursday the 7th!! PLEASE weigh in and email me your weight to missa4_25@msn.com and do not post your weight on your blogs until I have announced this months FIRST biggest loser. (Oh and I don't know if this is asking too much, but if everyone could take picture of their scale when they weigh in as well, we'll know that everyone is being honest....not that we don't trust you, but $110 is a lot for a prize and just want to make sure everyone is being honest)

*FRIDAY* is our get together! If you are coming and would like to be part of our pictures, bring your "after" or "before" outfits with you! I think we decided on going to Souper Salad, but not a time. Those who are coming, what time can you make it?? And WHO is coming for sure??

Okay, I think that is it! Girls you are doing awesome! I'm so proud of everyone!
