FREAKY FRIDAY CHALLENGE WEIGH IN PARTY BLOG****TODAY IS WEIGH IN****POST YOUR RESULTS***COME JOIN IN ALL THE FUN ON THIS PARTY BLOG****

Freaky Friday Challenge has been extended until August 1st. We are welcoming all newbies and anyone else ready to commit to being 100% on plan.

Good morning friends. Are you ready to weigh in?  Today is the day. Let's post how we did.

It's summer time and what a great way to start with a challenge. Let's get our bodies ready for the time of their lives. Yes, I'm talking hot, Hot, HOT.  We can do this and feel great!  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, shell060, 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, kbrewer6441, gnp-tx, nekhebet, christine314,cyndi_lulu, Terrie_m, peacefulgirl, and wechews2lose.

Good morning friends!  How did you do this week?  Let's hear from you.

I did great! I stayed 100% on plan all week.  I am a Nutrisystem sucess story.  I lost three pounds this week.  I weigh 114 lbs this morning.  Staying true to the plan will work everytime.

Good Morning Marie, and all who follow! Hope everyone is down this week! Last weeks weight was 155.4 today 153.6 down 1.8 lbs....yay! This month has been tough, and yes except for one day at the beginning of the month I was 100%, and that off day didn't effect the scale either way, and I am so thankful for that!......the scale is not exactly cooperating with me, I want it to go down faster, and it either stays still or only goes down a little...I want more, I need more! I know, I know, its coming off they correct way! But every now and again.....you want it the wrong way! lol (((((((((Hugs))))))) Cathy

PS>Total weight lost on NS....(drumroll please) 20.8 lbs......almost half way! Tommrow is measuring day for me, so maybe it will show more in inches, thats what I am praying for! Come on next smaller size pants! Boy I am a "Chatty Cathy" today!

Make it a 100% day! Thanks Marie...you are the best!

Well, I'm not exactly sure how it happened, cuz I didn't exercise nearly as much as I felt I should have, and I did have a couple of non-NS nights, but I managed to somehow lose 3.8 pounds this week!  I even stepped off and back on the scale several times to make sure it wasn't a fluke.  Yeehaw!  I'm out of the 170's for the first time in...well, I just can't really remember the alst time I saw the 160's on a scale...LOL.  So, today the scale read 168.6.  Whoohoo!  You know, people at work have commented that I looked even thinner, but I was for sure it was just cuz I was wearing darker outfits - you know, the "black is slimming" effect and all, but I guess they were right.  So, even though I have a very emotional day and weekend ahead of me, my Friday morning sure started off on a bright note...and hopefully this will motivate and encourage me to stay focused and on track even when my emotions are trying to get the best of me this weekend.  Thanks everyone...especially Marie...for all the encouragement and kinds words of support.  I really don't think I could do with without all the terrific folks in the NS Community.  :)

Chipping away at it slowly at this. Put me down at 226.3
I missed last week's weigh in so I think I may be down 2 pounds or so from then.
I've set a new goal of 218 which would equal a 40 pound drop from when I started in March so thanks for extending the weigh-in to August. I hope to hit finish this challenge at my new slimmer weight of 218 or less.

Good morning everyone!  I'm down another pound -- 142.5.  Unlike Big_Dog_Momma, once I saw the loss, I jumped off and won't get back on in case it  goes up!!  I'm taking the 1 lb loss and will be happy with that because it is going in the right direction.  Slower than I like, but hey, I'm losing!  Good luck to all.

BIG_DOG_MOMMA said:
Holy smokes!  I just realized that means that I made my June goal afterall!  I pledged 8 pounds, and I've lost a total of 9 for June!  Whooohooo!!!  I forgot what my weight had been when this challenge first started, so I went back to that May 30 post.  And yes, this also means I've passed that 20 pound mark.  I'm lost a total of 23.4 pounds since starting NS on May 2...that would make today Day 67.  It seemed to take forever to reach that first 10 pounds, and I felt like I barely crept over that milestone, but today, I fell like I took a giant leap over the 20 pound milestone.  Sorry for being so long-winded today...just a great feeling that I wanted to share with everyone!

OK, one last thing, and then I promise I'll shut up for today...LOL.  I just realize that I miscalculated my days on NS.  It's actually only been 57 days...so there's another victory!  Yes, Marie...today I am feeling truly thankful for all my blessings, which include NS, the NS Community!

refocused said:
Well, I'm up 3 pounds from last week, but I had an 8 pound loss last week, so it averages out all right, for two weeks I lost 5 pounds.  I knew that big 8 pound loss was a temporary water loss.  Anyway, I'm still happy and only 1 pound off my goal of 2 pounds a week with a total loss of 11 pounds so far.

321_blastoff said:
Hi Everyone,

Lost 1 pound this week.  Hoped to go from 200's to the 190's but maybe next week.  I can celebrate a bit though.  I pledged to lose 10 pounds on this challenge and losing this 1 pound makes it 10 pounds even that I have lost on the challenge so far, plus, bear number 3 should be sent soon.  I am down a total of 30 pounds.  I really wanted to get out of the 200 range, but...2 out of three ain't bad.  Have a good week everyone.

Hey Cyndy you can blog here all you like.  I won't shut you up, lol.  How are your dogs doing today?

Brittysmom said:
Good Morning Marie, Congrats on your 3lb loss.  I'm down 1 lb to 184 this week.  I think that puts me down 4.2 lbs since the challenge began.  Not an awesome #, but it's still a loss huh.  I'm being a turtle in this weight loss thing, slow and steady, but hey, I WILL win this race (the one between me and my fat). Have a wonderful weekend.  Judy

Not a good start.  I don't know what happened, I worked out twice a day everyday this week except one day and even on that day I did the elliptical for 30 minutes.  I did stray off plan some on Wednesday but nothing major.  Anyway I am still down .8 so I will take it any day over a gain.  I was just really excited with all the exercise thinking I would have a big drop.  Oh well there is always next week.  Congrats to everyone who stuck with it again this week.  Robin

Your doing good refocused.  I though 8 lbs was a bit much for one week. Well here we go!  One day at a time and all that weight will disappear. I had you starting the challenge at 214 lbs.  You reported 2 one week and 7 last week, so what do you weigh today?
June 27, 2008 08:45 AM EST
Letsmove said:
Wonderful Julie!!! Wow!!! You made your FFC pledge!  That is great!  One pound this week is good.  It was the pound to reach a big victory.  Kiss that pound goodbye.  Happy dance. Here comes your bear.  Good job.  Marie
June 27, 2008 08:49 AM EST
Letsmove said:
Judy don't you just love it when that pound melts away never to return again? I think that is wonderful.  You are one pound closer to your goal.  Congratulations.  Happy dance!!! Thank you Judy.  I worked hard to stay on plan this week and worked out on the ellipitcal for 22 mins. and walked six miles yesterday.  Have a great day.  Marie

It's still down Robin and look at all those muscles you are building.  I'm proud of you.  Good job and happy dance now!>>><<<< You are working hard and it will pay off.  Have you taken your measurement lately?  Marie

Wow Sam I knew you could do it!  Congrats to you.  Let's do it again.  Are you game?  Marie
June 27, 2008 08:57 AM EST
abSHOElutely said:
Thanks Marie - no haven't done measurements yet.  I am trying really really hard not to weigh in everyday only on Friday and measurements only on the first of the month.  I am one of those people who wants to get on the scale every morning but a trainer at my gym strongly recommended that I not do that and only weigh once a week because the day to day change can be so drastic she did not want me to get discouraged.  She also did my measurements on the 1st and reminded me Wednesday that I have to be there on Tuesday to measure again.  My abs are sore as heck so at least with that I feel the effects of working hard.  Once again thank you for all of the support during this you are a great motivator.  I will definately report the measurement to you......Robin

Good Morning Marie,

I am down 2.6 punds from last week. Counting all of my Blessing for making it day to day with N/S.
I am at 198.2 pounds . My summer goal was to reach 195 and I am 3.2 pounds away. I got the victory!!!!!!. , still have 15 more pounds to go once I meet my summer goal. Have a wonderful day and enjoy the rain.

Hi I'm a newbie and in my first week I lost 2 lbs.  I am particularly proud because I was following the plan before my food was actually delivered to me (to the best of my ability).  I didn't get my food till this past Wednesday and still managed to lose.  I was 240 now I am 238, and excited and ready to go!
June 27, 2008 09:17 AM EST
LadyGail said:
I'm at 135 today. I was out of town and couldn;t weigh in last week, but my weight the week before was 134, some I'm +1 for the week. I'll take it, since I was 138 on Monday - eek!

Yesterday was my first 100% day in at least a week. Last night's water aerobics class got me so tired that I went right to bed after and didn't even think about eating!  :-)

timcahill98 said:
Oh no!  I'm sorry to spoil the party....I think I'm the only one so far who's gone in the wrong direction.  My scale was up today....showing 167.0.  That's almost a .5 lb increase over last week.  :-(   I've been overeating a bit on the blueberries lately because they're sooooo good, but I didn't think that would make such a difference.  And I also did 45 min on the elliptical on Tuesday, so I thought it would be OK to have those extra berries.  Maybe I'm just in that plateau Marie wrote about the other day....let's hope so!  

Anyway...a new week starts tomorrow and I'm gonna pledge to do at least 3 sessions of cardio for 45 min each this week.  I'm gonna make that goal by next weekend come hell or high water!

Keep up the good work everyone and have a great weekend!

Gail job on getting back on plan 100%.  You will start losing again now.  Wonderful workout in the water.  I love it when I don't feel like eating at night because that doesn't happen much.  Have a great day.  Marie

Good job on the recommit Tim.  You can do it and extra exercise will push you along too.  Stay 100% on week and that scale is bound to move down.  Marie

BIG_DOG_MOMMA said:
Thanks Marie...hehehe.  My dogs are doing great.  Harley hasn't gotten sick since that middle of the night mess.  She's getting steamed rice and boiled chicken for about a week, though, just to be sure her tummy calms down.  Sometimes I wonder if she's got that part figured out...if she goes out and eats some grass and "tosses her cookies" so to speak, that momma will make her rice and chicken for the next week...LOL.  Duke's vet visit went fine...just me being overly-paraniod.  I'm trying to work up the nerve to start packing Skittles' things for our road trip to his new home tomorrow...I know I have to do it, but it sure is hard.  Thanks for asking.

Good morning, Marie.  I've lost a total of 10.5 lbs. now in just 3 weeks!  My current weight as of this morning is 154.5! I put other comments on your non-party blog.  But I am sure committed to this, especially now that I'm seeing the results!

Great job Betti.  Thanks for coming to the party.  I thought I lost you on that other blog.  Anytime I put out another blog on the party day I seem to lose people to it, Ha haa.  I guess I mean well but I confuse people.  Sorry.  My fault.  Have a great day.
You know the Lose 10 by July 4th lost their leader and I want us to welcome them here for their last week.  So move over on the dance floor for a few more :o)  Marie

Hi Marie and everyone else on this challenge!
I'm down another 2 pounds for this week. Don't think I'll make the 10 for the challenge but it'll be close and that much closer to where I need to be.
Have a wonderful weekend.

ready_to_look_gr8 said:
So the good news is, I "lost"  6 lbs this month.  The bad news is almost all of them were "do-over" lbs........UUUGGGGHHHHH.   I went back to my previous weigh in posts and realized that on 6/13 I post a gain of 2 which was true for the Friday weigh-in, however by Sunday I was up another lb.  So when I post my weigh in on 6/20 (down 2) I was going by Sundays weight, not Friday's.  This was my error due to daily weighing.  So, that makes me down one pound today (192...again).  I say again because that was my all time lowest (- 3 on 6/6  brought me to 192).  My scale is teasing me with a "virgin" pound but it wouldn't stop on it.  DANG!!!  At least It's going down and not up. Most importantly I'm not giving up!  I need to get rid of 2 lbs for a total of 20!  I pledge to have those 2 gone by July 4th.  DH and I are having date night tonight so I may be a little bad.  I'm so close to 20 that I can taste it!  I WANT it, so I won't go overboard tonight! Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Jamie you can still have date night without cheating.  Give it a try.  What is date night to you?  Is it enjoy each other?  You can still eat out without cheating one bit.  Where are you going to eat?  Let's see if us team mates can help.  Marie

I lost 0.7# again.  Very slow... I am 2 pounds from goal.  I have called the counselor for the maintanence plan.   I am hungry for some items... like a good ole A&W float.  A real hamburger with catsup and mustard and pickles.  I see by the maintanence plan I can have these items within reason-- measure and weigh.

I have about 4 weeks of NS food yet... that I will complete; so maybe I will lose a wee bit more.  My daughter says no more... weight Mom..you are getting thin.  Actually I am NOT.

Have a great weekend.

Hi Marie and all you losers!  Had a GREAT week; 195.4 this morning - down 4.8 pounds since last Friday!  Stayed 100% on plan all the time.  I have been doing ALOT of cleaning around the house to get ready for my daughters graduation party tomorrow so that helped with getting in some excercise.  I will start to take some walks with my kids like you suggested last week.  Thanks!  

Since the start of the challenge I have lost a total of 11.4 pounds.  Ready for another month!:)

Hi all...great party here... :-) Thanks Marie for Hosting such a neat get-together and the special invitation.  It was my first weigh in since joing NS last week, with a loss of 7 lbs! I was amazed truley!    All week long when I felt the  'hungries'  creep in I went for a FULL glass of water, and if I was able to get to the PC I'd come here to read some of these inspirations!  Thanks so much to all of you.....Party Hardy!  I think I'll take a mile walk for a celebration! Anyone want to come along?

Good Afternoon Marie.  I'm only down a half pound this week, but I'll take it!!  That puts me at 155.  Seems like the weight is coming off really slow but it is coming off so I won't complain.  I have yet to have a week where I can stay on plan 100%.  Every time I turn around I have to be at a birthday party, wedding, anniversary get together, etc., but I'm not gaining so I'll keep plugging away.  

Have a great weekend and I'll check back in next week.  It'll probably have to be Thursday because I won't be by the computer on Friday.  Til then........:-)  Teresa

Good job Susan.  If I can help you any just blog me.  Half a hamburger is great for lunch or dinner.  A&W makes a good diet rootbeer too.  Have you tried it?  Marie

Good deal Nessa.  I can't wait to see you again with that pretty little cut.  Hey I have to try one of those popsicles I made last night.  Zero calories you know.  Should be good.

Checking in Marie...so, so busy for the past few weeks...but since I did reach goal on the 14th, I have reached the challenge goal for myself as well.  I did not gain nor lose this week.  I have mixed "real" & NS foods all week, and gotten along great.  Even ate 2 tacos on corn shells for dinner with all the salad "stuffins" and no damage shown on the scales.  Just like it's supposed to happen, right?
I am also participating with water aerobics for one hour 3 nights per week.  Lots of good cardio and arm workouts.
Feeling great, and I will be posting my goal picture in the coming days.  Just haven't had time to take care of that detail yet.
Thanks for keeping everyone pumped!  The success is fantastic, and hopefully soon many more will feel the joy that you & I are sharing by tossing all the extra pounds away.  I've lost a total of 87#....and if we combine my loss & yours....welll....your current weight disappears.
Have a great weekend!

Well, I wish I had good news and could do the happy dance like everyone else, but I can't.  I'm up one pound since last friday and I believe last friday's weight was the same as the week before's so I have only lost one pound since the beginning of the challenge.   Shell

Sorry, my post is late, but my mother surprised me by coming in from Indiana yesterday so I did not get on the computer at all...I did weigh though and lost another 2.6....I am doing the electric slide on the dance floor....LOL!

5/30 205.0
6/06 198.6
6/13 195.0
6/20 194.0
6/27 191.4

My June Challenge was a loss of 10 lbs....and I DID IT, lost 13.6!!  Thanks Marie for extending this party for another month, I will pledge another 10 lbs even though I will be gone a week and a half in July to a church mission trip and will not be able to weigh in on 7/18.  Good luck to all of us this next hot month - maybe everyone needs to hit the pool for some water aerobics....I love the NS Community.

Hi Marie, I posted yesterday but I probably did it in the wrong place.  Your blog has too much on it and too many places to comment.  Yesterday I weighed in at 621.5 which is 3.5 lbs for the week.  Somehow I wasn't included in the Saturday awards because I guess I didn't post correctly. Is there a way to just have a sign-in blog? or maybe you could delete some of the oldest blog pages.
Thanks for all your help on my weightloss.  I love NutraSystem! - CYNDI

Sorry you missed the blog party yesterday.  It will alway be the Friday Blog that reads, Freaky Friday Weigh in Party blog.  It was a little different yesterday because we were adding some invites to the Lose 10 by the 4th challenge.  They lost their leader and in the invite it confused some of us.  Sorry I was just trying to welcome them.  Please remember to report on the "Freaky Friday Weigh In Party Blog".  This week we will have two weigh ins. One on Tuesday and One on Friday.  That will be for this one week only.  Good job on your weight loss Cyndi but I know you don't weigh 621.5 lbs.  Have a good weekend and I will go look to see what blog you posted on.  Marie

Marie, I've only lost one pound that I know of for the week, and that was this morning! I'm only 1/2 pound away from a 20-lb loss and my second purple bear, so I am very excited about that. I'm a slow loser, but I will join the challenge. I do the exercise that you mentioned and I usually am good about that part as well as the staying close to 100% NS (yes, I do go over with a piece of string cheese or extra protein) and the water, so I feel I'm on the right track. I would like to start using the calorie tracker one of these days just to see what my input is. I will never be one of the top losers of the week on any challenge week, but I will hope to be a steady if slow loser. Some weeks I don't lose anything and some weeks I might lose 2 lbs. Some weeks I might gain a pound. For the most part I gain one pound, then lose two, and that's my pattern. How is your hubby's pneumonia - is he feeling better?
