Hi! Well this should be an interesting mini challenge. The extended weekend was complete with lots of food. I stepped on the scale this morning and I am back to Thursday's weight. I am looking forward to Friday's weigh-in. Good luck the rest of the week.

I to hope to have a better mini than the last
time
so far a pretty good couple of days
have got back to walking in the house
good luck
Kathy

My week has been good so far. I kept it in check over the weekend and have had a good dieting and pretty good exercising week so far. I am looking forward to weighing in on Friday. I can already sense that these 5 or so weeks will be better than the fall. I am psyched up and ready for some losses. Good luck to all.

Hope you are all having a good week. Exercise has been good this week but monday & tuesday I snacked a little more than was necessary (diet food does have calories)
I plan on pushing hard today & tomorrow to have a good weigh in on Friday.
Hope everyone else is having a successful week.

Did more picking over the weekend
but now am ready for a strong week
good luck to the mini challangers
Kathy

I am ready for a strong week. I checked this morning and I am only up 2 from Thanksgiving morning so I am very pleased about that since we had a nice weekend of eating and drinking. I hope to lose those two this week and maybe 1 more to start this mini campaign off with a loss. Good luck to everyone this week. Tonya and I saw Bill and Julie this Saturday and you will all be glad to know that they both look great. Biggest loser agrees with them.

Hi, I hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving weekend.
This week would be an excellent week to excell diet and exercise wise. It would be good to "bank" some points to offset the Christmas activities which are ahead of us all.
Everyone have a great day.
Chris

HI Everyone,
My address is above. Thanks! Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! Bill

I maintained this week. Wish I could say I weigh less than i did when we started BL4 but sadly I gained this time. I do know having to check in weekly was a big help to me to not go out of control. Bill post your address or send it to my email at Ebleith@comcast.net and i will send you your winnings.

I maintained this week, again. I had a terrible phase this time. My early New Year's Resolution is to get on the loser wagon. I am just pleased that I am less since we all started this last year. Congrats to all you losers out there. Congrats to the winner, my money will come your way.
Happy Turkey Day

super job Bill
You have done great
Let me know your address and I will send
you my money
Enjoy your T-day
Kathy

Hi Everyone. The biggest loser was great. My weight loss percentage was 13.5% which was 30 pounds. I ran the turkey trot this morning in Saratoga which was a great way to finish off the BL. Time to pig out! Have a great Thanksgiving!

I lost that 1 pound this week so I am down total of 20 pounds this round. My percentage of total loss is 9.8%. I know Bill is higher than me, but believe me - he will make me pay those 2 or 3 bucks I owe him (hee hee).
Hope everyone has a great day, excited for the interim. Great job to everyone!

Julie

I am the same as last Friday. I am down 9 pounds since we started this round, which I am happy with. I am going to start back up in the New Year. My goal is to maintain through the holidays and I plan to post occasionally. I am pleased that I am down 55 pounds since Jan. 1st of this year. So it has been a successful year.

I am not even posting my % because I am sure Bill or Julie beat me. I owe a few dollars to the winner.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! I am looking forward to the turkey dinner today....Mmmmmm.

I am up one for the final weigh in. We went out to eat 3 times last weekend, and the shortened week didn't give me enough time to get back to maintainence level. Good work to all watching and losing and blogging for the past couple of months. I am in until New Years and will keep posting. I hope that everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving. Let me know who to give my money to (Bill or Julie).

I am down one for the week, which I was somewhat surprised at. I am down approximately 6 in all for this phase but am ready to continue. Congratulations to all. I will be compensating the winner also. Bruce/Dad

I am down .2 for the final weigh-in and am down about 3lbs for this round...will send some $$ to the winner as I spent a few weeks going up and down..

congrats to all.looking forward to the next round in january...

Ok Congrats to the biggest loser

Kathy

I am up 1.

I am done posting my weights until next June but will start back with the BL then if anyone wants to join me! I will keep following the blog and will definitely keep trying to drink me water every day!

Good job to all the losers out there!!! I will be sending my $$ to the winner!

Happy Thanksgiving!

The 4th. edition of the biggest loser is over. I lost but only a couple of pounds total. However I'm concentrating on how much I lost since August 08. If you even have time go back into the achieves and read all of our postings after our first week of dieting (August 8, 2008!!!) Very inspiring.
Everyone have a nice thanksgiving. YOu potential winners figure you body fat content (contact Karolyn for questions) and let us know.
Everyone else have a wonderful day today and remember whether or not you are doing the informal BL for 5 weeks, there are more days in 5 weeks to diet than there are to party and eat and drink; therefore have a wonderful time on the party days, diet on the rest and you'll be in great shape, whether it's to lose or maintenance for Biggest Loser 5 which probably will start on January 8, 2010 unless someone feels differently.

Let's keep occasional posting here regardless. I think it is helpful.. I would love to automatically drink 8 glasses of water a day regardless of dieting.
Happy Thanksgiving to all.
We are all winners!! (losers if you want to look at it that way!)
