What's the Deal?

Ok, so a couple questions.  Why can't we do "events" anymore?  I keep trying to add one, and it won't let me invite my friends.  Granted, I am not up on the technology, and I'm definately not able to keep up with everything going on here.  Much as I'd love too, I simply don't have the time.   
Also, WHOOHOOOO for Ali!!   And congrats to everyone!  We made it far over a million pounds!  Don't that make everyone a winner?  And was there really a "winner" on MPM and if so, what did they win that none of us won?  I certainly feel like a winner myself! And I plan on keeping on, doing what we are doing for the rest of my life.  I hope that I keep my friends here and we keep encouraging each other.  
Now that it's "all" over, do you plan on sticking around??

Over the weekend-Week 14

Sorry that my post this week is a little later than usual.  I spent the weekend off with my sisters visiting out of town.  My oldest sister is recovering from a battle with lung cancer.  Good to report she is done with chemo now and will be feeling better once this bout with the nauea is done.  However the kids and I still did our weigh-ins. HAPPY DAY!  My weight has started back down!! And the kids continue to lose. So here is our chart, and a couple pics of my sisters and myself.

Ok, so the kids prompted me to get motivated and take new pictures. And this time we got back in our old clothes, just to see a more accurate picture.  So here they are...

WEEK 13

Well, it finally had to happen.  My first week of non-loss.  And I'm just gonna deal with it and move on. It was like hitting a brick wall.  But I didn't do anything different.  Nothing wrong.  SO I'll just stay the course and keep on living the healthy lifestyle and let nature take it's course.  On the other hand, both kids have blossomed.  Justin got out of the 230's, and Shonda got out of the 280's. WOOHOO!!!  And for both of them, this is their lowest weight in years.  I'm so proud of them!  And for those who still follow up, here is our chart.  (And hey, if anyone else has a better way of charting, I'm running out of room!!  And very open to suggestion!!)

WEEK 12

WHOOHOOO!!   2 BIG milestones for us this week!  50 lbs for me!!  And 40 for Jusin!! I'm thrilled for us all!  I must admit I really struggled for the 4 lbs this week.  And I didn't dare hope I'd get it.  Justin and Shonda just get to be so much more active because they have more time and that's great. The activity of the week this week was midnight bowling.  My knee continues to heal.  Still not good enough to go play tennis again (which is how I hurt it to begin with..) but it was great to get out and bowl!!!  I hadn't done that in 30 years.  And I'm not very good, but both Shonda And Justin are, and we had a blast. So I just have the biggest smile on my face today!  It's been a great week!

Mid Week Thoughts

You know, we've been asked why we entered with the three of us, why we didn't pair up and find someone else to pair up with the "odd man out".  And I can only say these are my kids.   They are part of my inspiration and they are my life.  We've always been close and how can you break up an entire family?  It would be like trying to choose a favorite.  SO we bent the rules.  Really, together we CAN do anything.  I've always taught them to believe that they are capable of anything, so how much more powerful is it when you have the love and support of your family.  We didn't really join MPM to compete against others, but to WIN ourselves.  And we are winning.  I'm so blessed to have them.
And enough rambling this morning and off to work.  Hope everyone is geared up for Biggest Loser tonight!!

Week Nine

Great week!!!  Many milestones accomplished!!  I hit the 40 lb mark, both kids went over 30, and combined we went over 100 lbs!!! Nine weeks to 100 lbs.  Wow.  (It sounds like the title of a book..*LOL* )  And only 200 more to go!  I hope everyone else out there is having a fantastic week!!!

Blizzard '08

Just to share....We had a bit of snow overnight.  Needless to say, our excercise of the day was snow shoveling.

Wow what a great week!  I'm pretty happy that we are all back to losing now.  What a great feeling!!  We've almost lost 100Lbs. 
 
Shonda and I did go to the Biggest Loser casting call.  It was amazing to see all the people and everyone was so friendly.  Unfortunately, we decided not to stay, because we were so far back in line.  But we stayed long enough to get to know everyone around us. It was just a great experience.  I'll try to post pics in the next blog.  For some reason, I'm having trouble getting them uploaded.

Is this week over yet!!!!

Wow is it me, or has Live Spaces been really SLOW this week?!  Maybe it's just my puter.... Anyway, the week has been super intense at work...end of the month and putting in some serious time so I haven't even had time to think about the casting call.....But still intend on making it there.  Thanks for all the support from our friends out there.... I wonder, will people actually fly in to try out?? I can't imagine that there will be so many people from Ohio trying to get on the show...
Anyway, just checking in so you will know we are all still alive... =)  I'll update more over the weekend....

Well until we find a better place to put it.....Here's our safety pin.  For those who don't know yet, the safety pin is becoming the symbol for Biggest Loser fans/participants.  Post one on your website, wear one on your sleeve....support the cause...

Almost weighins again

Why we picked Saturdays for weigh-ins, I'll never know.  But now it's set in stone.  And I find that by Saturday, we're SO excited to see our "reward".  And then next Saturday will be our casting call for Biggest Loser.  Justin will not be participating, since he has the least amount to loose.  But Shonda and I will be there and ready.  I can't imagine what a wonderful thing it would be to be selected.  I want to be the first "women's team" to WIN!!! 
Ok, I'll stop rambling.  I'm just in such a good mood, and I feel SO much better with this 30 lbs off!!!  I just had to share.  Can't wait for the next 30!!!  You won't be able to stand me I'll be so cheerful!!

Casting Call

OMG!!!   Encouragement needed!!!  Biggest Loser is having a casting call here in our home town!!!  We would SO much like to do it.  We have SO many questions though...I wonder, do they pay any t type of salary for the people on the show?  Do we need to take anything with us to the casting call?? What types of personalities are they looking for? Can we really do it?   I can just see it as a way to step up our efforts and I'd LOVE to see the weight come off like the contestants do. Anyone have answers?  Encouragement??

Six weeks in!!!  Most of us are now 6 weeks into the new life.  Can you feel the difference?  I see it in all of us.  And it's just building in momentum.  The more we lose the better we feel and the more we DO.  The more we do, the more we lose.  I can't thank the Million Pound Match Up, and The Biggest Loser enouch, for the motivation to start this new life.  And to YOU, our friends and mates in this journey, for sharing every inch, every pound, THANK YOU!!!!   We are ALL going to benefit from this fantastic new life.
