We have reached our half-way mark TEAM F.I.T....

The leading losers for week 3 are:

1.  Sarah Young

2.  Karen Navarro

Congrats to these Leading Ladies!!!

Also... we had our measurements this week and we gave away awards for the most inches lost...

Mr. Hodges was the lucky winner for the 75oz water bottle drawing week!!
I just want everyone to know that as a TEAM... we have lost a total of 149.4 pounds in 3 weeks! That is AMAZING!!!

I'm Shouting from the Rooftops!!

I want to shout it from the rooftops, "I Lost Weight This Week!" I really thought it was too late for me to loose weight and look nice. I had really given up. I have never gotten this serious about getting health before, and that is what it is - getting healthy and not a number on a scale. God has given me my life...husband, kids, family, friends, education, job...and I had not been treating my body like I was thankful for what He had given me. I was slowly shortening my life, really!

My hope is to get healthy, get off my medications for high blood pressure and cholesterol, and be one hot momma! ;o) My prayer for each of you is that you reach your goals as well.

Have a great weekend, and I hope you are a big looser next week... LOL!

Go Team!

I have your total percentage of weight loss for this week if you are interested in what your number was!! Or I can tell you what number you were and how close you were to being on the boat… shoot me an email or stop by!!

PRIZES:

If it is OK with everyone… I would like to have the same BRIEF meeting after school to award prizes… I think it is important for everyone in TEAM F.I.T. to attend and show your support for our LEADING LOSERS of the week!! AND don’t forget… we have a drawing for a prize if you had at least 64oz of water everyday last week!!

 “ It doesn’t matter if you are on the boat, if you are losing weight… you are already a winner!”

-         A quote from our very own TEAM F.I.T. member Dianna Jones

Week 1 Down

Well, glad Team FIT was started. The first week is over...I didn't lose anything, but I didn't gain anything! The weight wasn't put on in 1 week, so it's not going to come off in 1 week. I do feel better! I'm more aware of what I put into my body, and I am also exercisingat home. Maybe Week 2 I will give Zumba a try!

Hello Team F.I.T.!!! I am so happy to be facing the challenge of losing weight with so many great friends! I have not made it to after school Zumba yet, but have done it a couple times at my house. I know I will have way more fun with you peops!! Good luck on weigh in tomorrow!! I will not be in the hat for drinking all my water this week but I intend on being there next week!!

BMI {Body Mass Index}

The body mass index (BMI) is an estimate for human body fat based on an individual's weight and height.

Here is a chart similiar to the one that I used to determine your BMI... I have everyone's numbers calculated. You can stop by my office and see what your number is if you want! 

Our goal should be to get to a "normal" BMI...

.... thank you MICHELE WELCH

Check out our Bulletin Board in room 607!!! Michelle Welch has done a fabulous job for us!!!

the bulletin board will display our LEADING LOSERS each week...

GREAT JOB WELCHIE... you are the BOMB DOT COM!!

Website

Last night I discovered a really cool website. The RealAge website is by Dr. Oz, from the Oprah show. They have all kinds of great health tips, and last night I found a free weight loss planner. It will give you a daily meal sheet for 2 weeks worth of meals, with drop down boxes for you to choose the items you prefer to eat. Then, it will create the shopping list for you, give you the recipes, and let you print the daily menus. It's pretty cool!

Here's the link:

It was very helpful to me, and actually gave me some menu choices I'd actually eat!!!

Hope you find it helpful.

Zumba in the Music Room!!!

Yesterday we started doing the Zumba 20 Minute Express DVD after school. If you didn't get a chance to come, please try to make it sometime this week. We had such a good time. We got to have fun with each other and get a good workout in before we went home for the day. I felt so productive and a lot less stressed out. I'm a little sore today, but we will be right back at it after school today at 3:50 in the music room. Everyone decided that we would do it everyday. We may have to discuss if Friday will be part of that everyday...

Thank you, Lacie, for starting this blog and organizing our team. I'm so glad to jump on here and know that I have friends that are going through this healthy lifestyle change with me. It is so hard to break old habits, but with God and the support of my friends, I know I can do this!
