FREAKY FRIDAY THE 13TH BLOG WEIGH IN PARTY*** FFC WEIGH IN AND REPORT EVERYONE*** TODAY IS THE DAY****THIS IS THE SECOND FREAKY FRIDAY CHALLENGE WEIGH IN**** DON'T MISS OUT ON THE FUN**** COME JOIN IN***

It's the second Freaky Friday Challenge Weigh In Today.  Good Luck Everyone!  I hope your scales are kind to you and not just plain FRRRRREEEAKY.  Blame it on the Freaky Friday the 13th!!!!

 

Welcome to the  Freaky Friday Challenge for the month of June. Now is the time to get ready for summer and what a great way to start with a challenge.  Remember Friday to Friday weigh ins so everyone will be the same.   

We will report our loss on the Freaky Friday Challenge blog parties each Friday.  Report right here on any of my Freaky Friday Challenge blogs (Letsmove). 

Stay 100% on plan.  Eating 3 meals, 1 snack, 1 dessert and drinking 8-10 glasses of water everyday, not just some days.  Follow the plan Nutrisystem has put you on.

Exercise 3 to 4 days each week for 20-40 minutes at a time.  Walking is a great way to start exercising. I walk some everyday and wear a pedometer. A pedometer is a wonderful little motivator that is worth every penny.  Wal-mart carries them for around $4-$5.

Report your loss on my blog (Letsmove) on Fridays or before if needed.  This is a commitment and is a big part of this challenge. 

We will have the biggest blog party each Friday and that is where you will report your loss for that week. We will have an Award Ceremony on Saturdays on the challenge blog to celebrate all your victories. Check in daily and report your good and off days, but not weight until fridays.

Our pledgers are karensmarks, justlucy, kathrynk8, changa6925, kenricva, brindy413, ryansprincess, hvnlyhills, 321_blastoff, brittysmom, ready_to_look_gr8, enfant4, raglady, babalouie, jordjess2, plummer08, betti13, kerime, carwash2, darlenenew, bbbbb32000, 40_b4_40, puglover1999, dedeelighted, flutepharm87, pattytx, shello60, mommyof3angels, wodell, btonasket, abshoelutely, gebee, cloudnine, mborras, scv218, drhennel, mailoss, roykat, bettie4d, amydoodledo, genevievredelamere, gingstak, heavynomore1, big_dog_momma, rdkoos, spiritwind, dianna03077, obsidian88, refocused, life_light, timcahill98, gingericht, missliznj, mmcknatt, ladygail, sillyrabbit65, biggersam, dlynne3962, chonkie, packster, jerikin, nlwnicolelee, boricuablue, tightandfit, connie1220, beachbecca, hipster7, candie_girl, mountaineer47, danigolightly, 2bfitby40, blanquita19, going2bhotnsexy, holandcamsmom, yoliesooner, lovshelties, coco_chanelle, tylersmom85, bflanders2,brindy413, radiant_rebecca, cindiesimons, mrsbrandi, and kbrewer6441.

Is your name on the list? Pledge here today. If your name is on the list, did you remember to report your beginning weight?   Did you remember to pledge an amount between 2-10 lbs you wish to lose for the month of June? 

Our second week is down and now is the time to report how you did. I myself am up one due to all the extra salt I had yesterday.  Salted peanuts in the afternoon and evening, and salted corn nuts.  Must have needed the salt with all the heat, but it does retain water and make the scale go up for a day.  But since I was a 100% on plan I know that tomorrow I will be right back down. As long as I stay away from the salt, lol.

Today I have the CPA coming with our Corp.taxes to be filed (If he makes the deadline I set for him). I gave him until noon because shortly after that I will be going off the mountain to get Sherri from camp.  She has been gone since Sunday and no communications allowed.  So I am counting the minutes today.  Also today is June 13th and a Friday.  My DH birthday today! So let's get this party started!

Have a great day everyone!

Marie

Hi Marie,
I don't know if you still have my name because I didn't see it on this list above, but my current weight is 170.6. I didn't report last Fri, but I did the week before with my starting weight.
Thanks,
Barb

candie_girl said:
oooh, am i the first to post? alrighty... well, one pound down. it's not as much as i'd hoped for but i finally broke the 180's. I'm at 189. I guess I'm not gonna reach my challenge goal of 8lbs, but oh welll... one pound is better than  nothing, right? and i think next week should be better because i have no planned restaurant outings and should have more time to work out so...
June 13, 2008 06:29 AM EST

Yeah Barb your still there on the 2nd line of the list.  That makes .8 lb.  Good job Barb.  Every bit helps and makes you that much closer to your goal.  Have a great day.  Marie

Fabulous Flutterby Butterfly down 1.4 lbs.  Good job Cathy.  I have been doing that same thing and it's with salt.  It must be this heat and lack of regular exercise. Thank you!  Have a great day and take a step on the dance floor.  Marie

Good job Tylersmom.  Four pounds in two weeks is great.  That's all it takes, is one pound at a time until you reach your goal.  Have a great day.  Marie

BIG_DOG_MOMMA said:
Well...I was hoping for a really big loss this week because I REALLY stepped up my workouts on top of staying on NS 100%, but I must say the numbers on the scale were not exactly impressive.  I only lost 1.6 pounds.  I just don't understand how that could be considering I noticed some really big changes in the way my clothes fit this past week.  So, I'm at 173.4 pounds now.  I do a good bit of weight work, so could it be that I'm building muscle?  Maybe, but I always feel like I'm making excuses when I say I must be building muscle and losing fat and muscle weighs more than fat, etc., etc., etc.  My scale did read low battery this morning, though, so perhaps the numbers weren't exactly correct?  I'll have to run out and get a new battery today.  Well, I'm off to the doctor this morning.  I'm sure they'll weigh me there, too...so we shall see.  Am I discouraged?  No, not really, because I am seeing other differences besides the numbers on the scale, but I was hoping to be at the 20 pounds of weight loss mark today.  Also, this is the first week where I haven't lost at least 2 pounds.  Oh well, it is Friday the 13th after all...LOL.  Chat atchya'll later.

Great job gingstrak!  Two pounds, woohoo!  My sister got all my size 8's that wasn't a size I stayed at long.  Size 4 is were I stopped at.  Fours are easier to find in the store, then 2's and a good size for me for now. Yes it does feel great to get into those smaller sizes.  When I was younger I loved being a size 8 too. Marie

Hey Cyndy it's the Freaky Friday after all, lol.  Low battery..freaky!  Good job on the 1.6 lbs lost.  Your body is shifting around and replacing.  Good job!  Count your blessings.  Marie

Good Morning,  I am down another pound to 185.8 this morning, gonna work real hard this week - am sick of seeing the 180's - ready for a 17? number.  Happy birthday to your DH and don't count the minutes too closely or they will slow down and go backwards.  :  )  Have a wonderful weekend.  Judy

Hello all.  I have only lost 0.7#.    I have 4 more pounds to goal, so I suspect this will be a long tedious journey.

The next two weeks will be difficult at the watering trough.  I will be in trial for the next two weeks, and bathroom breaks ( aka recess) are far and few between.  Judges and attorneys (like nurses) have bladders that expand to points of infinity.  So... no water except at lunch and then that will not be very much.
I will be eating alot of bars and lettuc, since microwaves in most part are not readily available.

Congrats to all who met their weekly goals, and Congrats to all who are going strong and sticking to their programs.

Susan

Have a great "Friday the13th".  See you in a week.

Good Morning Marie - I'm on the run this morning.  Helping one of my dearest friends to move from AZ to Chicago.  We're packing her up today.  Please put me down as no change this week.  You know about the last week...  Some stress eating going on.   I'll do MUCH better next week.  Love, Ellen

Congrats Sam!  That is wonderful!  Keep working hard at staying on plan and those pounds will keep dropping.  Good job.  Marie

I still have a little neck pain but it's not as bad as it was last week. I'm off the muscle relaxers for now. I've increased my water intake lately and trying to get some walking in when I can. I've cut back on the desserts a little. I'm aiming for 220 and the goal is in sight.
Thanks for all the positive feedback and the motivation you are providing everyone here.

Good Morning to all.....This week I lost a pound.  Was hoping for more but I ended up working a lot of overtime this week so my workouts were cut short.  The good news is I said GOOD BYE to the 170's.  This weekend was shaping up to be a tough one but I worked around it.  Tomorrow I am going to Tysons Corner with a friend we usually have lunch, shop and then have dinner.  Instead we are meeting a little later (so I can hit the gym first thing in the morning) shopping and then having dinner.  I am already looking forward to the grilled salmon and asparagus.  Father's day will be at my house this year we are cooking out.  In anticipation I saved my Nutrisystem burger and am going to put that on the grill with the other burgers, everyone is making some type of salad with mayonaise.  I am making the steamed veggies and I bought whole grain buns.   This may sound silly but for the first time in my dieting life (tried every diet out there and gave up) I have planned my life to work with the foods I should be eating.  Normally it is one of those OH IT'S ONLY ONE DAY and I pig out.  Not this time.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to all the dad's out there!

Marie - again you do an awesome job with this site - Thanks for the time and energy you put into it!

I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A GREAT WEEKEND AND A GREAT WEEK!

Letsmove said:
Hey Robin we will take that one pound at a time.  Good job.  I love your effort at going to the gym first, wonderful!  You are doing a great job.  Let me help you, about your burger on Father's Day.  Go ahead and make a regular burger like everyone else and get those whole grain buns and cut it in half after the burger is grilled.  You can add ketchup and onion and pickles and mustard too.  Enjoy with a green salad and your good to go.  Get you a diet drink and you will fit right in and no one will even know your eating any different.  Marie

ready_to_look_gr8 said:
Well, I hate to be the one to break the losing streak.  I'm up 2 lbs this week. I was down 3 lbs last week, so I'm still down one lb over all for the month.  I received my 3rd box yesterday and was a little sad that I didn't get to see the purple bear.  I'm planning for 2 bears by the next shipment(as I don't have much to get rid of for purple bear).  Will they do that?  Put 2 bears in or will they just skip the purple bear and send the next one?  I will be down next week, as this week is the one I don't have any control over.  Have a happy, Freaky Friday the 13th everyone!

Good morning
I was hoping that I would have a 2 or 3lb loss but it was only 1lb. I'm just a little disappointed because I know that I stayed 100%. Hopefully it will show up later! I'm staying positve and know I didn't cheat. It just may be that I lose slower.
I feel a definite difference in my body so on to the next week!!
Congrats to all the other "losers"!

Hi Marie -
A bit disappointed.  I did everything according to the plan.  I also worked out every night and burned at least 400 calories on the gym equipment.  Drank more than 8 glasses of water.  Still, I only dropped a half pound.  Not giving up, but disappointed.
June 13, 2008 10:21 AM EST
raglady said:
A quick check-in for me.  I'm weighing in today at 161#, just one pound away from my goal.  Yesterday's shopping trip found me wearing size 8 in a couple different pants (they do say stretch on them) & in the non-stretch, new size 10's, in fact a whole new western-themed outfit to have my "after" picture taken in.  I'm a bit pumped!  I'm wearing the 8's today!  I call this "Mission totally Impossible-11 months later"...Mission darn near accomplished...above expectations!  NS rocks!
Talk to you later!!!

I stayed the same - 216.  I stayed on plan and exercised several days.  I need to get vigilent with my eating I am EXACTLY following the plan.  I know as long as I have been dieting, I won't lose big like some people do.  But, I would think a couple pounds.  I did have some sunflower seeds on my salads this week and maybe it is the salt.  Yesterday I was down, but not today.  Rats!  Sometimes you just have to take the weigh in and it will adjust tomorrow.  Congrats to everyone who stayed with the program and to those with good losses.

Hey there Ms. Marie.  I lost 1.2# for the week so perhaps it was the wise thing to do and switch my lunches and dinners.  I think I was floating during my morning walk, couldn't believe it (lol).  Have a wonderful day,  Betti

Don't worry tomorrow you will be down again.  It like me when I eat too many salty foods it holds all that water weight in my cells and I have a temp. weight gain.  Don't worry it's not real, lol.  It just Freaky Friday weight gain, :o).  Have a great day cloudnine.  Marie

Ok, I am at 165 lbs this week and that is up 1.5 lbs from last week.  I am a little disappointed by the gain, but since I have been on plan and have been working out all week I don't feel disappointed in myself.  I can see that my body is starting to change and that helps.  This next week is going to be tough because I am going to be a counselor at a church camp and the food is made for us.  I still plan on taking my NS meals, fruits, and veggies, but the temptation to cheat will be in my face all week.  I am planning out my meals to make success more attainable, but also to make it harder for me to go off plan.  Also, I wont be able to weigh in next Friday due to being at camp, so have a great party next week and I hope to come back with a large loss.

Hello Marie and friends! This Friday the 13th, probably the freakiest of Fridays, don't ya' think?

I didn't have any bad luck when I got on the scale this morning - I'm down 1 pound this week, to 134. Only 4 to go!

Sorry for posting so late today!  I didn't get a chance to check the NS site until I just sat down with my lunch (salad and fettucini alfredo).

Only one lb for me this week, I'm afraid.  This morning's weight was 167.7.  Happy Friday the 13th to all out there!

Hi Marie!!  What a week it's been for me.  To start, we had tornados over the weekend, which is odd.  We just don't have that many in Michigan.  What a scary time that was!!  We were out of power for 4 days.  Sever weather last Friday, a big storm Saturday with rotating winds, (which took our power), then a tornado of Sunday!!  Can you believe that???  Anyway, I was 2 1/2 days eating out.  We finally got a generator so we had some normalcy at our house and then our power came back on Wednesday afternoon so I was able to get back to my NS food.  Didn't lose anything this week.  Still 157.5.  But, I feel good considering I ate out at restaurants.  I had high hopes for this week but I'll get there next week.  If only the weather won't shut us down again.  They're predicting more sever weather tonight.  Yikes!  Have a great weekend!  Teresa

Okay, so I am not too techically adept (I"m challenged).  But I KNOW that you had a link to the exercises that we are supposed to be doing for our abs as well.  I don't want to start out not doing all of the challenges.  I can't find it here, but I may not be looking straight, either.  Please help.

Just a note...I'm not just starting NS, I'm starting the Challenge.  I wasn't in town last Friday, so I didn't begin with you all.  I started the program on March 9th and have lost about 24 pounds.  I finally sat still long enough to read all the other entries, and I am so proud to be a part of this group that is trying so hard to do the right thing!  My husband is doing this program with me, and he is so exact and "perfect" that he throws a fit when he goes off program at all.  But he has been very successful.  I think he's a little upset that he only loses a 1 pound a week, but I (the many-diet-doer!) told him that the slower he does it, the more likely it will stay off, so that is keeping him from being down about it.  It is nicer to hug him now -- we both have smaller bellies and can hug a lot better!!  
Well, good luck to you all this weekend.  Only 3 more weigh-ins til the 4th!  God bless you all!

No weight loss this week. I was sick for a couple of days last week and had lost alot, but lets see..I started out at the challenge at 151, and today I am 148.2 ....so there you have it. I also just started back in with strength training, so I know my body is going to have to adjust. Whatever...I will just keep on plan and exercise. The weight is bound to come off sooner or later!! I am just happy to have lost 10 pounds in only one month!!

Oh Keri! Have you tried the new Powerade Zero?  I just bought the grape (zero calories) and is it good.  Pick some up to take with you.  Have a good weekend.  Marie

Welcome Karen!  I don't have a exercise link.  I use to do the Fit In 2008 and charted it for 12 weeks, but I stopped charting on the blog because it was hard to get everyone to report timely.  It really took a lot of my time.  I do still chart my own exercise on my calender, but that's it.  See you on the blogs and tell that husband of your that he is doing great.  You know he can be on this challenge too if he likes.  The slower you lose the better it is for your body.  It gives your body a chance to shift and your skin to shrink at the same time.  When you take it off too fast and you have a lot to lose you have a chance of having saggy skin.  So tell him what I said and believe me I know what I am talking about.  Have a great day.  Marie

Good job Amy.  Sometimes I wish you would just use the old scales that said 1 lb. and that way you would still be the same.  You are doing good and in this heat this week, I don't know how anyone lost, but they did.  Have a good night.  Marie

I lost another two pounds this week.  I am down to 161.  I am up to two miles a day walking though, so I hope the weight numbers will start falling faster.

I have been stuck in a 3 week plateau.  I didn't report last week since there was no loss.  But this week magically I'm down 2lbs!  my current weight is 151.  I can't wait to break the 150s now that my plateau is hopefully over.

Good job Lei!  Here comes 150, then 149!
