Happy Thanksgiving

Hey everyone.
Sorry we have been late getting our weight posted on the blog. We are still working at it. It is frustrating sometimes getting on the scale, but here are the results from our weigh in from Monday.
Cameron 252.8 lbs (up 0.8 lbs from last week)
Bec 164.o lbs (up 1.8 lbs from last week)
As you can see we are having some difficulty at the moment.
We do have some good news. Today we ran the Sacramento Run to Feed the Hungry. It was a beautiful day and there were over 26,000 runners/walkers that had the same idea to start the day with a run. Bec ran the 5k with Trevor, Dallin, and Adam. Braden was going to come but had football practice this morning. Bec finished her run in 33.44 min. Dallin was at 35.33 min. Trevor finished in 32.30 min. and Adam was 32.45 min. They did great and were at the finish line to cheer me on as I finished.
Ron, Earl K. and me ran the 10k. Earl was the big winner for us three and Ron was not very far behind him. They both finished under an hour but I will let Earl tell you all his time. I finished in 1 hr 2 min and 16 sec. It is not my fastest 10k but I haven't run a race this heavy before. We felt really good about doing the run. It was fun and we are going to continue running to get in better shape.
Thanksgiving was great today! I am sure I ate too much but it was great! We will have to work extra hard between now and Monday morning's weigh in. Hopefully it will not be too painful.
We are grateful for good friends to work on getting in shape together with! Keep up the good work!

P.S. We will post pictures from the run later. It really was fun to do especially now that it is over!

Hey out there in get into shape land how is everyone doing. thanks Judys for posting last weekend! we love the photo. How are all our other team members doing? good bad or Otherwise??? Anyway who are we to talk we are now 4 days late. But still we miss you!
WE had a good week this week. I am SO tired so i am typing so bad! even worse than normal. i should be asleep but I'm not. Anyway that may explain my rambling.
Cameron is DOWN this week to 252.0 From 253.8= -1.8 loss for Cameron! cheering and clapping at the monitor!
Rebecca is also DOWN this week to 162.2 From 165= -2.8 loss for Rebecca! Huge relief from the gain of a pound or more last week. so i am now officially down just over 15 POUNDS!! Big huge smile. not a huge as 15 pounds ago but very happy. I don't know if i will make my 160 goal by thanksgiving or not but i am happy with the progress!
We love you all and miss you!
Love Bec

Finally... Something to Report

Well, I have been sick with a cold. I have had a cough where you think you may cough up a lung at any moment. And it hangs on forever, but I did get back to the gym this week after taking a week and half off from working out. It has been frustrating.

But I did get on the scale this morning and weighed in at 183.8! I am down 9.2 pounds from when we got our new scale.

We are headed on a trip for 7 days, there is a gym at the hotel, so hopefully we can maintain through.

Rhett weighed in last week at 209, he was very excited to break that 210 mark. He is still there this week. And he says - these last 10 pounds will be the hard part. He was saying this morning he needs to start lifting weights, he hasn't done any for 3-4 weeks.

With Thanksgiving around the corner it will be tough, but I just hope to eat LESS, not stuff myself like we do every year!

Have a good week!

Not the best news to report!

OK we did great during Halloween but the week following was less than stellar! We both gained weight this last week! 2 pounds each to be exact! I guess this is why we keep doing this because it is to easy to slip back into old habits like super amounts of sugar consumption!

We are still committed to continue despite this setback!

Cameron weighed in at 253.8
Rebecca Weighed in at 165 AGAIN! so i guess i went up 2.5 pounds to be exact. tear!

We hope you all did well or at least are still on board with us. let us know what up
love Bec

First Goal Achieved

Well, I am consistent again about not posting on time. Last Monday I weighed in at 211 or 210.8. My scale fluctuates which can be annoying. Today I hit the scale after a decent soccer workout last night and it posted 210. This was my first goal to hit by Thanksgiving. I have been loosing about 1 pound a week which is fine. Based on my activity level that is appropriate. The key is to keep it off. Even today they had pie at our monthly work lunch and I ran the other way.

So I am going to see how close I can get to 205 by Thanksgiving. This is my new short term goal. Good luck to everyone and watch those calories over the weekend!

My 2 Cents

Bec already told you the good news about making progress even through Halloween. We both felt really good about loosing. Bec told you how much we lost but to save you the effort of scrolling down to see our weight last week I will just tell you that Bec weighed in at 162.4 lbs and I weighed in at 251.8 lbs. It is so nice to be working out with Bec. Friday morning when it was raining I would have been fine with staying in bed and waiting until Monday. She got up and get ready and then I had to get up myself. We ended up running the whole run instead of run/walking. She is a great strength to me! Thanks Bec!!!! Keep up the good work everyone! You all also help me. I keep working knowing that I will be recording this for you all to see each week.
