i'm SO jealous of the distances / times you are working out! i'm afraid to step out of my comfort zone of my 30 min / 3mile runs!!! and trying to swim 900 is a lot - and that's w/looooooooong breaks (30 sec - 1 min) in between whatever it is i'm swimming!!!
then again, i only have myself to push myself! congrats on the awesome workouts! and on the weight loss!!!oooooohhhhhhhhhhhh………

The casting call asked for women who wanted to lose 60 or more pounds, and at the time I wanted to lose exactly 60 to reach my goal. Me, on a bench with about 40 women who were, admittedly, twice my size.. when the casting assistant came through asking what people where there for there was such camaraderie! yeah! losing weight! She got to me and asked, and when I said I was there for the Biggest Loser the other women went BALLISTIC and really ostracized me!!! it was worse than high school, worse than I'd ever felt being fatter than i was at that point... I went in to audition anyway and ranted at the casting agents about how f*cked up our society is that women aren't supportive and that each individual weight loss is a very personal struggle. Just because I didn't need to lose 200 pounds didn't mean I was by any means HEALTHY. They liked me. Just not enough to cast me. At least I said my peace.
Anyway. I can relate. And having a best bud who has been maintaining her little Britney bod for two years and hearing her still being mindful of it, I'll never kick anyone out of the Dub Club.so, funny story, a few years ago I actually auditioned for the Biggest Loser.

Are you drinking enough water and eating enough F&V? Maybe next week will be better? I have no idea what is going on other than your body being in shock and rebelling? Hope it levels out soon!Could your body be freaking out because of the calorie deficit? Are you drinking enough water and eating enough F&V? Maybe next week will be better?

As a Lifetime member I try and go every week to the meetings. I feel that they were a key to getting to Lifetime and I know too many people who hit lifetime, thought they were "cured" and now are above their goal weight.
I try and talk to the other people about what worked for me and what I'm currently doing (or not doing). And, I'd like to lose another 10 pounds or so, but I am just not motivated enough right now to do it. That's embarrassing to say, but true. I'm doing some journaling and some working out but I'm not willing to put the whole package together to lose these last 10 pounds. Maybe confessing that will be the motivation that I need to pull it together.
I will still be here reading about your athletic endeavors (even when you are at goal)!!Hey Erin, I hear you!!
