LOng time, some weight loss

So life in the weight loss area has been kinda hard. Not dedicating myself completely to the weight loss area as I should, but we are slowly and steadily seeing the difference.

Ben is still having a tough time stuck on a plateau. He can't seem to get out of the 260's.

I finally broke 200 and am now weighing in around 196. It's funny, because I think that's what I weighed on my wedding day, but my body is completely different now.

We have a lot more to lose, but for now, I am happy with the progress.

weight loss journey, thus far.

Last year at this time, Ben, Hayden, Ady and I were all camping with the family at SISCRA. I was looking at the pictures of then, 1 year ago exactly, and this is what I saw... I can't believe how fat we were.

BEFORE~!



We are still kinda chubby, but today we are on our way to a happier, healthier life, and "I'm Lovin' It!" (and not in a McDonalds kinda way!)

Weight reduction!

Even tough we have our rough times, Ben and I are still managing to lose weight. YAY!

I went to weight watcher's this week and lost 2.6 pounds making it a total of 27.8 lost. (down to 200.4 pounds, the lowest i have been since having kids) It's coming off, slowly, but surely. The 10th also came around and we measured ourselves again! The inches are adding up for both of us. I have lost 20.75 inches altogether and Ben has lost 18 inches. Yay us, again!

Ben has been having a hard time with gaining and losing, but this week he managed to lose again 5 whopping pounds, bringing him down to 260.5! Next week, i am sure, he will be in the 250's.

I think we are starting to see results, but it's hard for us to tell, cause we "see" ourselves every day!

ugh...is it that time again?

Well, this week has been my worst week for weight lost.... minus 0.2 pounds... you have got to be kidding me. I guess it will make me try harder for next week.

Ben has been having a hard time as well. He will loose it and gain it and has been doing that for a month now. He can't seem to get under 260. We will see what this new week brings.

WISH US LUCK, CAUSE WE ARE REALLY GOING TO NEED IT!

This week I lost 3 pounds making it 25 pounds lost. I reached my 10% body fat lost, and got a cool key chain to show it off... on top of that i got a 25 pound "weight" to put on it... Yay for me!

Ben weighs in tomorrow! I will let you know how that goes!

Weigh in time

Well this week was by far, the worst weight loss week for me... down .8 pounds. I guess its better than gaining. That makes 22 pounds total lost. about 50 more to go.

Ben did well, last week he gained 4 pounds, but this week he lost all of that and some. He is down another 5.5 pounds! Way to go Ben~! That makes 27 pounds lost for him~!

I have been having a real hard time not wanting to shove everything i see, smell and think about, in my face. I haven't been making good food decision, and I have been eating. I am trying to do better, but it's been hard. Plus, next week, we don't have weight watchers, due to memorial day... so lets hope i can keep up the good eating, exercising, and happiness!

Monday weigh in!

Monday has come and gone, and so has weigh in for weight watchers! I was absolutely dreading going to this meeting, due to the fact that I had not eaten the best, saturday or sunday.

But,


Boy, was I pleasantly surprised. i lost 4.8 pounds! That totals 21.something weight loss! Almost lost 10 percent of my fat! Yeah! We measure ourselves on the 10th of each month, to see if we are getting "smaller" Thus far. I have lost 17 inches! Yay! Progress!

Way to go. ME!

Ben, on the otherhand, gained 3.5 pounds?!!! We are still trying to figure this out! Although 5 out of the 7 days, he went over! Ben still has lost an amazing 16 inches! And we are seeing the results of his weight loss. He is looking fabulous!
