    Week 8 Weigh In

    We 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!!!!!

    Week 6 Weigh In

    We 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!

    Week 5 Weigh In

    Another 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.
