Our Weekly and Cumulative Totals
February 26 Week 8 Weigh InWe weighed in again this morning and are happy with our progress. Don has lost another 4.2 lbs for a total of 19 lbs, and I lost 2 lbs for a total of 22 lbs. I did not update last week, as I had the flu and spent most of the week in bed. Did not get any exercise in, so I am pleasantly surprised that I lost any weight. Don is only 9 lbs away from his goal. At the rate he is going, he may make it by the time this challenge is over. I definately will not finish by then, but at least I have put a good dent in my goal. We will post are updated photos next Tuesday. Don is now wearing jeans that he has not been able to fit in for 10 years. I now fit comfortably in a size 12 pant. It is so nice to be happy with the way the reflection looks in the mirror, and it is only going to get better.
I know there is only a few more weeks until this challenge is over, but we will continue to update our site weekly until we have reached our goals. I hope our friends will continue to do the same. I can't imagine not having the encouragement for everyone. Keep up the great work!!!!! February 12 Week 6 Weigh InWe didn't have the greatest week, but we still both lost a little weight. Don lost 2.2 lbs for a total of 14.8 lbs and I lost 1.4 lbs for a total of 20 lbs. The weather here has been extremely cold and we have not gone out much. My job this past week has been to hold down the couch and be a TV critic :). I have been able to catch up on some of my knitting, which I really enjoy. Don is in London this week. He will not have a problem sticking to his diet because he HATES the food there. He packed quite a bit of food to take with him this week. We are both hoping that next week will be a better week. Remember: NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD AS BEING THIN FEELS! February 05 Week 5 Weigh InAnother good week for us. Don lost 6 lbs. for a total of a 12.6 lbs. los, and I lost 3.6 lbs. for a total of a 18.6 lbs. loss. We are extremely happy. This is getting much easier for us now. We are automatically making correct choices with our foods now, even when we are extremely hungry. Before we started this, we would constantly stop by a fast food restaurant when we were out. Now we head home in between our errands to make something healthy. I am sorry for not posting last week. We had construction going on in our home and it was crazy. Anyone that has had remodeling done will sympathize with us. I am so proud of Don. He usually will start a weight loss plan and lose a few pounds, but if the weight does not come off fast enough he will quit. I don't think he has been in the 180's for 10 years. He is so thrilled that he is going to have to get smaller jeans. Hitting the 170's is a big goal of his. He is almost there. I am definately feeling a difference in my clothing with almost 20 lbs. lost. I no longer feel like a sausage stuffing myself into my clothing. I will update again soon. Wishing all of our friends continuing good luck and success. January 22 Week 3 Weigh InWe are doing the happy dance again. Don lost another 2 lbs. and I lost 4 lbs. this week. So far Don has lost 9.6 lbs. and I have lost 15 lbs. I can not believe that three weeks have past so fast. Don is a little stressed that he is not getting the numbers that I am getting, but with him traveling and eating out everyday, at least he is not gaining. I'm sure that he will pick up after he returns home later this week. I have kept myself extremely busy while he is gone. I have been redecorating our family room and attached bath. Also giving the house a severe cleaning. I can't believe how many calories you can burn while cleaning. Late last evening I was touching up the paint in our family room and dropped the whole can of paint on the carpet. I immediately ran to the store to buy a steam cleaner and was cleaning the paint out of the carpet at midnight. It took quite a few times, but I think I got it up. So today I think I will clean all the carpets upstairs. My mom has been here visiting while Don has been gone. We have eaten out a few times, but picked low calorie options. I introduced her to sushi, which surprisingly she loved. We have this great little sushi restaurant here and she actually asked me to take her back there the next day for lunch. I have been checking out all of my friends pages over the last couple of days. So many of you are doing Terrific! Keep your eye on the prize of a thinner, healthier body! January 15 Week 2 Weigh InWe are happy to report another successful week. I lost 4 lbs. and Don lost 2 lbs. Don is not so happy with his number, but I think he is doing fabulous for living in a hotel and having to eat all his meals in restaurants. He has been using the gym at the hotel everyday which I think is helping him not gain any weight. I had to stop using my treadmill because it was really bothering my knee, so I have been working out on the elliptical most days. I have been using the Bodybugg for 6 days now, it is an amazing little piece of equipment. Up until now I really did not know how many calories that I had burned throughout the day. After I enter my food and upload my calories burned, I can see the deficit that I have. The program lets me know if I have the right amount of deficit to reach my goal for the week. Here is a little fact that was very surprising to me: It takes a 3500 calorie deficit to lose 1 lb. It also keeps track of the steps you take throughout the day. I reach the goal of 10,000 steps that it set for me on most days. Sometimes I am surprised that I actually go over. We want to wish all of our freinds the best of luck this week. Keep moving and get healthy!
