9/04/2008 It's been a few weeks since we've reported... It's been quite some time since I've actually posted and given our weight losses. The important thing is, even though we haven't been reporting, we are both still right on track and very happy with our progress. Slow but steady... and after years and years of being fat and Yo-Yo dieting, losing lots of weight and then gaining lots of weight, it's time to lose it slowly and keep it off. Here are our losses from the last 4 weeks... TIM ====================== Week 11 231.8 -1.2 Week 12 230.8 -1.0 Week 13 232.3 +1.5 Week 14 229.2 -3.1 ====================== -3.8 Lbs ROBBIN ====================== Week 11 314.8 -1.6 Week 12 314.4 -0.4 Week 13 314.0 -0.4 Week 14 310.4 -3.6 ====================== -6.0 Lbs I think the most important thing we have BOTH done is we have changed our outlook towards food and the choices we freely make. We aren't following any "plan", we are counting calories. We choose where to spend those calories and nothing is off limits. Funny thing is, we are making choices we never would have made before... good choices. I think we are both happier because of it and we are definitely getting healthier because of it. Tim looks AWESOME! His stomach has gone down so much and he is sporting all his smaller sized clothing and looking sharp all the time. His weight loss gets noticed alot because he has lost a larger percentage than I have. He's lost around 12%, I've lost around 9%. I have alot more to lose than him, so I expect it to take awhile before people really notice any loss on me. At 30 lbs, it's starting to show a little, but I still have a long way to go. I don't focus on the total though - I focus on today... "One choice, one day, one pound at a time!" On another note we have discovered a new family activity.... game... sport... whatever you want to call it. Read all about it on our other blog at http://t2x3.blogspot.com I hope everyone is still out there, doing their thing and not giving up just because Biggest Loser challenge is over. We still have lots of weight to lose and we can do it! I'd love to hear from any of you who are still out there plugging along... Be blessed! ~ Robbin 2/04/2008 A Week for Gains Well this week wasn't so good. Like Mark and Jay of the biggest loser, I posted a gain this week and I was not happy. It's the first time since Robbin and I started the challenge together that I haven't lost weight. Let's just say, I celebrated the weight gain the whole day and night long. I'm still waiting for Robbin to say April fools, I moved the scale (Wished I would have thought about that yesterday before she weighed, now that would have been funny). Last couple of weeks I have been getting of track a little bit, but didn't think what I had been doing would cause a gain, hoping it was more of a water weight gain than anything. We camped this weekend in the Okefenokee Swamp, and were able to get in some walking exercise which is good, we both need to work on this a little more as we still aren't exercising much. Monday was also our last night of First Place (The class we have both been taking together at the church). Don't know yet if either of us will continue on to the next class or not, so check back on that decision. This week I intend to work a little harder and get back on track like when I first started the diet/life style change in January and see if I can get back into the plus column or is it the negative column? Which ever means dropping the weight. Robbin's still doing very good, she didn't lose a lot of weight this week (1/2#), but a loss is a loss and I'm proud of her for sticking to it. Hope everyone else's week was better than ours (And Mark and Jay's) and you had some significant weight lose. Till next time, keep on keeping on... Tim |
