Keeps getting better...

Weigh In Results October 28th, 2014

I won't go into too much detail, but I am just simply amazed at our weight loss progress!  It turns out eating right and exercising really is the key...they weren't lying!

Still avoiding dairy, red meat, bad carbs, no sugar and limiting alcohol - working out 2 or 3 times a week at the JCC...and the results are...

Kris = 162.5 - lost another 1.5 lbs this week!! 2.5 lbs to go to goal weight of 160!!
Mark = 213.4 - gained .2 lbs this week...but still going strong - he knows what to do!

Go Team!

Weight Loss Status Update - Oct 20th 2014

Mark and I have finally become "people who work out", which is something I never thought we would be.  They say that if you do something for 28 days it becomes a habit.  We have been going to the JCC since August, so I guess we are good to go!  I have my little outfits and Mark has his headphones.  We print out 20 minute workouts from the internet and increase intensities.  Who would have thought??

We actually like going to the JCC and trying new workouts and especially seeing the results...Like THESE:

Current weight is 164!! 
May 16th starting weight of 180.6 = total lost so far = 16.6 lbs!!!!
My Chest = 35 inches
My Waist = 30!
My Hips = 38! (Lost another 2 inches - total of 3 inches!!!)
My Thigh  23.5!
Arm = 12!

Mark's current weight is 213.2!!
May 16th starting weight of 228.3 = total lost so far = 15.1 lbs!!!!
Mark's Chest = 45.5!
Mark's Waist = 30!
Mark's Hips = 39!
Mark's Thigh = 23!
Mark's Arm = 13.5!

Amazing stuff!

Next, I plan to work a little more on my legs to get them toned and get rid of this stupid cellulite...I assumed it would go away more when I got skinnier, but apparently not.  Need to tone up these thighs ankles and calves!

Still living the dream...

So, even though we have successfully had our first ever formal photo shoot (which was our goal to be skinny in the photos), Mark and I are continuing on our weight loss path.

As of this morning, I am 166 lbs - only 6 lbs away from my goal weight.  At one point, I was 164, but then travel, Columbus Oktoberfest, & Michelman celebrations/lunches destroyed that progress.

I have 1 month until Wurstfest, so I will need to really buckle down to get to 160 lbs before I drink & eat like a fool again!

We have been working out still - treadmill for 20 mins, arms, legs & abs - then walking 1 mile - two or three times a week at the JCC.  I know it is working because my abs are killing me right now!

Everyone comments on Mark being skinnier, but no one says anything about me...oh well...I am doing this for me & my health, not compliments!

Go team!
