Confessions!

Okay after I saw that Bec lost 7 pounds in a week I was hoping to loose at least two! I got on the scale on Friday and had gained a pound. I was so mad!! I thought I had done good on my eating all week and worked out 6 days! Well, I pigged out all weekend, and I even had a pop! I was telling everyone I gained instead of lost and that I was sick of it. They try to tell me it is muscle I gained, which may be true because I have been lifting weights, but, for how hard I have been busting my butt working out I should see some kind of result and my clothes all fit the same! So I recommited today, but then we had a cinnamon roll tonight, I may be a lost cause! Rhett's family is starting a little get healthy thing where we all put money in a pot and get points for certain things, working out, drinking 8 glasses a water, eating zero junkfood (I doubt I will get those points too often). Anyway it starts Oct. 1, maybe that will give me more motivation! Keep up the good work Cam and Bec - you guys are my inspiration!!!!!

LOOK AT US, could be worse

Hello everyone in get back into shape land or maybe you are lucky enough to be maintaining shape. the shape we have been maintaining the last year has got to go. so if you agree then JOIN US!

We had our Monday weigh in and things are progressing slowly. My 7 pound loss last week was definitely WATER WEIGHT! i got on the scale on Tuesday and 5 of those lost pounds were FOUND! SO here is our weigh in for this week.

Cameron is getting very near loosing his first 20! we will have to celebrate with some non fat ice cream when he hits that mark! he is at 260.2 WAY TO GO CAMERON!!! YAAAAHH!!

Rebecca on the other hand went up like i said but I'm still happy to be progressing! I am ... 167.2

That is 18 loss total for Cameron and Just over 10 loss for Rebecca!

Here is a photo of us about a month ago. Just getting started. Our clothes are fitting a bit better now. standing by Trevor anyone looks huge though!

here is an updated photo of Cameron about 15 pounds down!

Here is me on Labor day not a whole lot of change yet. I am like a glass of water i gain weight from the bottom up and loose it from the top down. Those BAKED HAMS i have for calves never go away!

Hope to hear form you all soon!!

First week gitters

I hit the scales this morning - 216.4. This is 3.2 lbs for the first week. Not surprising with water loss and getting back on track after taking too long of a break. Did great at portions and snacking. Just need to be consistent in my training and stick to my goals.

Monday Weigh In 9/16/08

Our weight this morning was;

Cameron 262.2 lbs
Rebecca 163.4 lbs WAY TO GO BEC!!!!!!!

We are still just trying to eat much better, not so much sugar, at least when there is not CAKE around! I won't be bringing that home any more! We are trying to eat much smaller portions as well. It seems to be working. We are also running/walking in the mornings. We are running 6 mins and walking for 2. Let me know how the weights are working for you guys. I wouldn't mind doing that to but not sure when we could do it. Keep up the good work everyone! It is really fun to hear from you all.

Later,
Cameron

Better Late Than Never

We'll I started on Monday at 219.6. My target weight is 190, but I know it will take some time. So I have set what I feel is a realistic goal by Thanksgiving of 210. I have definitely reduced my portions this week and avoided any significant sweets or treats. Good luck this weekend (which is always the hardest to stay disciplined) and hopefully Monday we will see progress.

First Friday Weigh In

So I weighed in this morning, it hasn't been a week, but I don't like to weigh myself on Mondays! I still hate the new scale, but figure it is probably the correct number as gross and pathetic as that number may be. So Monday I was 193 and today I was 190.4 on our new scale, I didn't even get on the old one. Rhett hasn't weighed himself again, I'll try to get him to do that tomorrow. We worked out everyday this week, I went to my weights class today and think I will do that 2 days a week.
Don't laugh Cameron, but Rhett's sister Heather started teaching us how to clog, well, me and the kids, (I am still trying to get Rhett to join us - Justin and Lance are doing it, and Nate is too, he is actually really good). We hope to get a little group going with all the cousins, I know his mom would be so proud!! But clogging is quite the workout, so hopefully that will help me a little too.
I must say cake sounds really good! I had 1/2 a candy bar yesturday, I needed chocolate bad!
