Before :)

Well, it took us a week, but we finally took our before pictures after working out 5 times this week. I think Chris and I exercising five days in a row is a record for us (since I've been home from Ecuador).

We had fun planning a menu together too. Our first day we had omelets for breakfast with milk, and then a homemade chicken salad for lunch and chicken stir fry for dinner. It tasted really good. Another recipe we have planned is beef curry, and today we are eating roast with veggies and some potatoes. I'll have to post some of the recipes we've been using.

Are YOU ready!

Alright all, are you ready to start this wonderful session of PX90 on Monday? I hope you are ready. Remember to post your before pictures. I am really excited. I hope it goes well for all of us. Talk to you when I get back from Paradise!!

My Final Weigh in - May 19, 2008 (a little late)

I stepped on the scale this morning and was surprised to find that I weighed 209.5 total percentage lost 3.01%. Congratulations Nathan on winning the Biggest Loser. I hope that we can all continue to be healthy and exercise and then hopefully the weight will come off. Good luck to all in the everyday struggle of being healthy.

May 15 2008 Final Weigh in

I know that it has been a whole month since I have posted here on the blog, but I thought that I would take just a minute and do that. Two days ago, Tuesday May 13, I weighed 228. But this morning, I seem to have put on two pounds. Making my final weight 230. This means that I have lost a total of 27 pounds or 10.5% of my original body weight. I hope every one was able to make the goals that they had set for themselves and are happy with the results. Thanks for memories

I know that it is Friday and that we are supposed to post on Tuesday. I am sorry that I didn't post, but I did weigh in then. I didn't loose any weight this past week. This stinkin' weather. I really wanted to get out and start riding my bicycle, but haven't due to the weather. I guess that I will just have to be patient with it. After all.....this is Utah.

I know that I have been lame and haven't posted for a while, and for that I am sorry. I know I said that I was going to start riding my bicycle to and from work/school, but I haven't been able to do that yet. It has been to cold and I just haven't found the motivation to start that on these cold mornings. If it warms up, then I'll start doing that. Just one and a half more months every one. Keep up the good work.

Happy April Fools Day Every One!

Kristen's Weigh in for 4/1/08

Beginning Weight: 244
Current Weight: 239.6
Weight Lost: 0
Total Weight Lost: 4.4
Total Percentage Lost: 1.8%

I know I need to step it up because though I haven't gained any weight, which is good, I haven't lost any for a few weeks either, which is bad. Next week, I will have lost at least .7 lbs (that is my minimum goal) so that I can break the 239 rut. I will eat more vegetables and will run at least 3 times.

Where to begin?

Ok so I am sorry I haven't been very good about this whole weight loss thing and it was even my idea. But I am pregnant, so I must say goodbye to trying to lose weight and wait another 7 months to begin trying again. No worries, I will keep my $25 in the race and I hope the best one wins! Good Luck!

Amy's Weigh in for March 25th

Weight as of last weigh in: 177.4 lbs
Begining weight: 173 lbs
Current weight: 170.2 lbs
Weight Loss this week: 7.2 lbs
Total weigh loss(from beginning weight): 2.8 lbs
weight % loss this week -4.06% (this doesn't count, b/c it is not off of my beginning weight, but still it is fun to see that i lost that percentage from 177.4 in a week!)
weight % loss total 1.6%

Ok, so I finally got my second wind! I hope that I don't lose motivation this time, because there's not much time left in the competition. This is the part where it is the hardest, but the most necessary to keep going strong! Anyway, I have been doing an hour of cardio a day and watching what I eat, so hopefully I will continue to see success. I have a lot of treats from Easter though, so I dunno how that will affect me. Anyway, good luck everyone! Oh, also, I am going to the graduation fair today to pick up my cap, gown, and tassle! Can you believe I'm graduating?! WOOT WOOT!

Terry's Weigh in for 3/25/08

Sorry I forgot to post last week - Amy even reminded me but I still forgot to do it. Last week I weighed the same - 213. This week there is a gain - I weigh 215. I have not been good at all. I have not been exercising. I am getting an exercise machine and I hope that I use it like I think I will. It might not be here for a couple weeks though. Easter is over now so I am going to try going without sweets for awhile and try to kick it into gear for the rest of this competition.

Amy's Weigh In for March 18

Weight 177.4
Weight gained 4.4 pounds

So I am pretty disappointed with my progress (more like regression) so far. I really thought at the beginning that I would do really well, because I was so motivated! But it is really hard to stay motivated, especially when life gets better. For a while I gave up, and it shows. I have gained almost 5 pounds from the start (and 10 pounds from my lowest weight). Not only that, but I measured my body again, and where in February I had lost inches everywhere, this month I gained significantly everywhere! So I am going to take another shot and try to do better. We'll see if I can stay motivated this time. I'll be happy if I can lose 25 lbs by our final weigh in date. Still, that is pushing it a bit, so I will aim for at least 20 lbs. I hope I can accomplish that at least. I hope everyone else can catch their second wind also and see the success you want. Good luck!

P.S. Happy St. Patrick's Day yesterday!
And good luck Nathan with your bike riding!
And way to go Kristen running 2 miles non-stop!!! I'm super proud of you.

Terry's Weigh In for 3-11-08

Weight: 213

percentage lost - 1.39%

Nathan's Weigh in 12 March 08

Begining weight 257lbs
Current weight 230 lbs
Weight Gain this week 2 lbs
Total weigh loss 27 lbs
weight % loss this week -.86%
weight % loss total 10.5%


I gained weight this week. I think that I might have plateaued with the program that I have been doing. I think that it is time that I step things up. Now that the weather is starting to turn more Spring-like, I am going to start riding my bicycle to and from school and work and home. It is 6.1 miles one way and so that will give me a 12.2 mile bike ride five days a week. The part that I'm not looking forward to is the fact that there are hills both coming and going. Oh well. I know that it will be good for me to get more cardiovascular exercise in my life. I guess that means that I need to get my bike out of storage and tuned up for the season. Wish me luck.

Kristen's Weigh in for 11 March

Beginning Weight: 244
Weigh In: 239.8
Total Lost: 4.2
Percent Lost: 1.72%
Weight Gained this week: 1.2

I know that I gained weight this week, but I'm not too concerned because I know that if I just keep going, I will lose it again and more. Also, this week, I did run 2 miles without stopping and that is a big accomplishment for me right now. I am going to see if I can do it again and maybe a little bit more each time that I run outside! Keep up the good work everyone. You really are doing great!, and just remember that the end goal is not to be a certain size, but to be healthy people that are able to do the things that we want to do and not have the limitations of our weight!
