The 25 Milestone--Gone!

Remember this picture? It's of me with my men a few months before I started WW.

Do you know who this is? It's me, yesterday!

I don't know if you see a big difference or not, but I sure did, and was pretty suprised! I planned to take an actual picture of me at my 25 milestones, but skipped 25, so had to do a 26 pic!

Anyone else think Brooke's overdue for a post?

Lacey Here!

On Tuesday's weigh in I lost 1 pound even, so I'm now at 16.8! My hubby is at 20.2! Woo Hoo! We're headed to visit my mom in Tennessee Friday-Thursday, so my goal for that time period is TO NOT GAIN! I'm going to weigh in on Friday and Friday (but not count that in my stats) just to see what the week does to me. I may enjoy a treat or two, but overall am going to try to be sensible and use my tools that I've learned. Oh, and did I mention it will be my first "girly" time on WW? We'll see how that goes too! Sorry if that was TMI!

I've been thinking more about blogging daily a list of what I've eaten. Does that interest you? Let us know if it does, and maybe we can get Brooke to do it too!

See you when I get back from Tennessee! Oh, here's a pic from today...do I look 16.8 lb. lighter (ignore my windswept hairdo)? :)

Now meet Brooke!

Well, I am in my seventh week of WW @ Work. It has been awesome to be a returning member and to take advantage of it at work, no excuse to be that busy to not go to meetings! I love the support of other co-workers and our leader. in my journey my heaviest was in September 2003, and as of today I have lost a total of 53lbs, great! However, I have a long journey. Last year I did the Biggest Loser at work and have lost a total of 25lbs in the last year (including the WW weight loss).

I have lost a total of 9 lbs: -5.4 the first week, -3.2 the second, the third week GAIN +5 (yes, I made some pretty bad decisions that weekend I traveled out of state!), fourth week -2.6, fifth week -.6, the sixth week -1.8, and seventh week .4. I am very close to reaching my 5% goal weight of a total of 14lbs. SOON!!

Just like Lacey, I think WW is easy, my biggest issue is tracking. That is the number one thing that has been my biggest tool to this journey. I have started back walking/jogging, however this week I haven’t done much to be honest I haven’t felt good all week (not that I am making an excuse but I have been ill). So, I press forward and get my butt back in the game! I am ready to get going.

I am excited to be partners in crime with Lacey, she is super cool and I know that this is going to help our journey, and it might just inspire you, too! We are two real women who are on our way to becoming what we were really suppose to be. Be inspired!

Meet Lacey!

Brooke & I decided to do this blog because we both like blogging, are both trying to lose weight, and because it was something fun to do (and let us use this awesome layout)! I've been sharing my journey and tips on facebook, so we decided to do it here instead.

In the coming days you can hope to find some fab food finds, recipes, tips, our struggles, our progress, and whatever else we throw in.

I am in my sixth week of unofficially doing WW. I say unofficially because I'm not actually a member, but I sure am giving them a lot of press while doing it! In the five weigh-ins I've had I've lost a total of 13 pounds: 7 the first week, 4 the second, 1 the third, then 1/2 on the fourth, and .8 on the fifth. So, I'm calling it lucky 13, even though it doesn't add up neatly that way. At first I didn't keep track of the point whatever.

WW has been a lot easier than I had thought it would be, though I have had my weak days and strong days.

Look for a fun recipe tomorrow (or as soon as "tomorrow" comes in blogland). And, look for Brooke to be posting her first soon!!!



This is me and my family. My husband is on this journey too. I'll say this is my "before" picture.
