Yup, that's right! I have officially lost -0- pounds and I am in first! Everyone else gained over Christmas and is above their starting weights.....pretty sad Biggest Loser!

This week I worked out 4 days and will work out this weekend as well. My DH joined the gym now too, and it really helps me to get there.

Oh and also the real Biggest Loser started this week on NBC, and that is always a big motivator.
I am hoping to lose 30lbs by our Mexico trip in March.

We did not have a weigh in the last 2 weeks, one week the person that weighs us in was gone, and the next week I was gone and I bring the scale. So 2 weeks with no official way in, I have more or less been staying the same, probably gained a few lbs over Christmas. But it is a NEW YEAR! I love the start of the year, it is soooo refreshing to have a new start. DH is joining my gym on Monday, he does not need to lose any weight, but would like to start running regularily again. I am happy that he will be there to encourage and motivate me to keep going. He is going to be my "trainer" until we go to Mexico in March. I am also excited that the actual "Biggest Loser" show starts again this week. That is always a great show to watch while I am on the ellyptical.

Glad to be back down 4lbs. Hopefully next weigh in I will start going in the right direction more speedily!

Week Three

Place = 4th out of 6 people

We were out of town for 4 days, and then the night before the weigh in I pigged out on pizza....bad girl! So all things considered I am ok with the 2 lb gain, I think it could have been MUCH worse! Time to get back on the wagon.

Week Two

I am happy to report a 2lb weight loss even with Thanksgiving in there! Awesome! My coworkers did well too, several of them lost 2 lbs and one even lost 4 this week! Stiff competition, but will keep me going! So I am pretty worried about this next week, we are going out of town for 4 days.....and you know what that means...fast food, fast food, fast food...UGH! I am mentally preparing myself though and have conciously decided I need to make good choices and not just eat what I want because we are out of town. Besides McDonalds and lots of other fast food places have salads and other healthy options now, so there are options for me.....I just have to make myself choose them!

Week One

Myself and five of my coworkers are doing a mini "Biggest Loser" competition. I am excited to compete and hope to do well. It runs for 3 months and the entry fee is $10, so winner gets $60!! WHoo hoo! Obviously there are lots of financial benefits to losing weight, the $60 is just a little bonus! So my goal is to lose 20 lbs, that would be about 7 lbs a month. The competition ends in Feb, and we are going to Mexico in March, so that would be great if I could be done 20 lbs or more. Since this is financially related I will post my updates here once a week.
