2008/4/9 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 2008/3/11 Week 10 Weigh In This week's results: Tim - Lost 1.2 lbs Robbin - Lost 2.0 lbs I have to admit, I am very surprised... and proud! I have never stuck to a diet this long without it being an "official weigh-in in front of someone and pay them to tell me what to eat" diet. And you know what? It feels good! I like the fact that I think about everything I eat before I eat it. I like the fact that I'd rather make a healthy choice now than an unhealthy one. I like counting calories and keeping track of them on mydailyplate.com. I like the fact that I'm trying to take better care of myself. Mostly, I love the fact that my husband and I are doing this together! It has been a blessing doing this with each other and supporting rather than sabotaging each other. We both still have a long way to go. Me way more than him, but we are trying to make this a new lifestyle rather than just a short term thing. I have to admit, it's hard not to get a little discouraged when I see the numbers being dropped on the Biggest Loser. But, I remind myself that they are exercising 6 hours a day like crazy and they have personal trainers to help them. Although, I was blown away by those that returned from home with big losses. Impressive! I hope everyone else is having a good week. I'm very pleased with my 2 lbs.... slow and steady... nothing to complain about! ~ Robbin 2008/3/4 Week 9 Weigh In Here we are, 9 weeks into our new eating program and I don't think either of us could be anymore committed than we are right now. I am really proud of both of us! This week's results: Tim - Lost 4.4 lbs Robbin - Lost 2.6 lbs That puts us right at 50 lbs total since we began. I'm excited about that! Here's to the next 50 lbs! ~ Robbin 2008/2/26 Weigh In - Week 8 How in the world can someone weigh less at night than they do in the morning?! That's what I want to know. I weighed last night - don't ask me why - if you're a chronic weigher, you understand. Anyway, last night I was .6 less than I was this morning... go figure! My husband on the other hand was like 3 lbs lighter this morning. I'm not going to complain though. I'm happy enough with this week's weight loss. Although - I wouldn't mind a steady 5 lb a week loss. :) Tim on the other hand isn't too happy with his, but it is a loss and he realizes that's a good thing. He went camping with the Cub Scouts this weekend and ate pretty good all things considered. He was there 2 nights, I was only there for 1 night. But we did get some walking in - about a 3 mile hike according to my pedometer. So, here are this week's results: Tim - Lost 1.0 Robbin - Lost 2.4 I am however a 100 calorie popcorn addict now and find myself having 2-3 bags a day. The calories are worth it to me and having something to snack on is good. But I'm not forming a good habit by still relying on my carbs. I just traded high calorie carbs for lower calorie carbs. Tim has an addiction he hasn't told you about too. He's addicted to Sugar Free popsicles and has them every night without fail. Of course, they are like 15 calories a piece so they don't really count. I hope everyone is doing well. We definitely need to step up and exercise. Once a week is not good enough and we both know we'd do better if we did. Until next time - Remember... One choice, one day, one pound at a time! ~ Robbin 2008/2/19 Weigh In - Week 7 Okay, so I haven't done so well blogging and keeping our blog updated. Bad me! It's not because we're not doing well, it's just because I've been lazy I guess. So, anyway, let's see where we are. The last time I actually recorded a loss was 4 weeks ago. Dang - it has been a long time! So, let's see.... in the last 4 weeks here is what we have lost: Tim - Lost 10.4 Robbin - Lost 5.6 That's a total of 16 lbs for both of us together since the last time I recorded our weight in here. That's 39.2 lbs total since we started on Jan 2, 2008... Tim - Total lost = 21.6 Robbin - Total lost = 17.6 I am very proud of Tim, he's doing great! I am also proud of me, not because I've had a huge weight loss, but because I AM staying on plan, I AM making great choices and I AM doing well. Most importantly, we are encouraging each other and holding each other accountable. We started logging everything we eat every day at http://mydailyplate.com. This is the first time I have EVER logged my food honestly. It's actually been very enlightening for me and has really helped me see exactly what I'm eating. I have set my daily calorie intake to be between 1200 - 1400 and haven't been having any trouble staying within the range I've set for myself. This online diary also allows Tim and me to keep up with each other. Plus a couple of my friends are now using it and it helps us hold each other accountable. Our pages are at http://www.thedailyplate.com/diary/who/rtungett and http://www.thedailyplate.com/diary/who/ttungett. If you have an account there and want to hook up with us, just let us know and we'll give you the access key to see our stuff. We are in this for the long haul and are both doing well. The one thing we really need to do is exercise. That's the one place I am really not very disciplined in. I wish Jillian or Bob were here to kick my butt in gear... although they'd probably make me cry! I hope we can both stay motivated and on track. I wish the same thing for you! Thanks for stopping by and checking in on us! Leave me a note so I'll know you were here and I'll come visit you too! Blessings, ~ Robbin \o/ 2008/1/23 Week 3 Weigh-In Hey Everyone!
Today (1/22) was our week 3 weigh in. I felt pretty good this week and
have found myself, if anything, not eating enough. Imagine that! Of
course, I know that's not good either. I'm sort of an all or nothing
person when it comes to food. I'm afraid if I eat the wrong thing I'll
go crazy, so I'm pretty particular about what or where I'll eat. We
went to a covered dish dinner at church last week and I didn't eat
anything there. I waited until I got home because I knew I could be
good. The desserts looked great though!! Anyway - the results for this week:
I don't know if Tim's set a goal date or not yet. I'll have to remember to ask him. I keep trying to get him to post something, but I guess that isn't going to happen. But at least we're doing this diet together and supporting each other and that's what means the most to me. I hope you all have great weeks! God Bless! ~ Robbin 2008/1/15 Week 2 Weigh In This morning was weigh in time and ... drum roll please.... we are down 7.2 lbs this week as a team! Bringing our 2 week total to 18.8 lbs!
I have a tendency to want to reward myself when I have a good weigh in week. I remember when I went to Weight Watchers with my Mom and cousin we would always go pig out on weigh in night. Afterall, it didn't count because the week was over and the new week didn't begin until the next morning! No wonder we never succeeded for very long! So today, I thought perhaps I'd eat a lunch that was a little more than I should. I managed to stick to ordering something decent though when I ate out with a friend. Then I had to go to the drug store. I thought, surely I deserve some candy, cookies, some chips or something! But, I'm proud to say, I thought about it and made a choice not to eat something like that... no matter how good it sounded! I came home and popped myself a 100 calorie bag of popcorn instead. A MUCH better choice! I know I can do this.... ONE choice, ONE day, ONE pound at a time! I hope you had a successful week too! God Bless! ~ Robbin 2008/1/9 Official Weigh-In Day Since we started our Biggest Loser Challenge on Jan 2nd, today (the 8th) was official weigh-in day for us. The results....
PLUS - we did better than most of the teams this week! Were those some low weight losses or WHAT?! I hope you had a great week too! Share your losses as comments below! |
