We are the Baywatch Babes that are turning our world "upside down" as we gain our lives back one pound at a time

Hi Chrissy, how you doin?  It is another monday, my weight is still at 29 pounds lost.  I am one away from 30 pounds!!  Our church is doing a 6 week biggest loser contest, the winner takes home 100 dollars, i am determined to be the winner because i sure could use that money!!  Plus you know me I love competition.  I guess they will take the highest percentage of total body weight lost to determine the winner.  Of course its all in good faith because nobody has to share their weight, we just go in every week and log in how much weight we lost.  It starts next sunday, so i am pumped!!  Well I hope you are doing well, talk to you soon!!

You are pumped, keep it up those pounds will be melting off!!  It sure is hard work though, isnt it?  Im loving the weather outside, if there is anything that will get me going more than i already am it is the nice weather.  Nothing lifts the spirits more than a sunny warm day!  Makes me want to work to look good in a bathing suit, that day is fast approaching!  Im proud of you, keep it up!!!!!

I just burned 820 calories!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For my first workout! Another one coming tonight!

Hi Sarah,

It's MOnday. Ready for some kicking butt working out sessions. Going on treadmil right now! Just wanted to say let's kick some butt!

Hi Sarah,

I was hoping to come home from work and have a posting from you. But no posting. :  (

I lost another pound which puts me at 21 pounds now. I had a good day at work today (day shift)

My feet hurt and I am going to bed. Will check messages tomrrow. Have a good one!

WOW! You are doing great! When I get hungry I eat a sponful of peanut butter. It really helps. I finally hit 20 pounds! I have lost 20 pounds! Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think it will take another 20 before people really start to notice. Congratulations on all your weight loss. See I knew you could do it. Just don't stop! We can't stop and gain it all back like last year when I lost like 13 pounds. We have to keep going. And I want to come down for one week for a fun week like last year. We can go for walks and really work out! I do eat three meals a days and healthy snacks so my metabolism doesn't go down. I wish it would get warm enough for me to run outside. I love my outside (get away from the kids) runs! Hubby, Alex says your never going to catch him. But I think you pretty darn close! He's lost 35 pounds now. He's working out 2 hours a day! Well I am off to work out. Tomorrow I have to work day shift. So if I am not to tired I will work out at night. I have worked out all week except Wednesday and maybe tomorrow. All that work and eating good for one lousy pound. But at least I hit the 20 mark. Losing weight is hard because I'm older. Your still very young. Not even 30 yet. Once you hit your 30's like me, it seems harder to get off one pound. But I can't give up. But I tell you this I never look at food the same. I pass up so much food. I think I never want to gain all that weight back ever again because it's just to hard to lose. Way to hard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never want to see the 190's again. Or 180's or 200's. I have vowed to never ever be there again. I would like to get to never get past 150 ever again.  I am short 5'1 so between 130 and 150 is good for me. I just have to get there first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your 10 pounds away from being under 200. Once you make it. You should never let yourself go over 200. You see your taller than me. 5'8. So 190 would look good on you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let's never go back!!!!!!!!   

You are rocking those machines girl, keep up the great work!!  I have dropped 4 more pounds, two more to go to hit 30!!!  One more to go to be under 210!!!  YEAH!  I really need to start working out more, I need to make that a priority.  Im proud of you Chrissy, KEEP IT UP!!!

Where's my Sarah???????????????????? Worked out two hours today. As of this morning I did not lose another pound. And I have been working out! What's the deal?????????????? I got so mad I worked out for two hours. One hour in the morning and one hour just now. I'll make that scale move!

Worked out for one hour today! I am proud of myself. Whoo Hoooooo!

Hi sarah,

I worked out Monday and today, Tuesday! Staying strong this week. My legs are hurting right now as I write this!

That's fantastic. I just got off the treadmill and elipical.  Alex did his work out. He lost 31 pouonds!! I am losing weight slow, but I am trying so hard, even working out every day. Keep up the hard work!

My friend Erica asked me about clothes sizes, if I was fitting into a smaller size yet.  Up to this point I hadnt even tried a smaller size of clothes, I was just enjoying my "normal" clothes fitting me a bit looser.  So anyway I open up my "skinnier" bag of clothes and pull out a pair of pants that my sister had bought me a while back.  These pants would not even fit over my thighs and butt at that time.  Well I easily pulled them over my thighs and butt and I even got them button and zipped!!  They are a little tight on my still, BUT I GOT THEM BUTTON AND ZIPPED!!!  I got really excited, i started trying on shirts that were way small and tight on my and they are actually looking good on me!  Im sooooo excited, plus I stepped on the scale this morning and I was down another two pounds so I am four pounds away from 30 pounds weight loss, talk about being pumped!!! =)

Hey chrissy, two more pounds this week for a total of 24 POUNDS!!!  I am nearing the 30 pound mark and am as pumped as ever, I will never be over 215 again, YEAH!!!  How did your weigh in go?  It sounds like you did a lot of working this week, and you are doing awesome with your weight!!  Do you feel you can control your eating more when you are working?  Let me know how you did.  Talk to you soon.

Sarah this is quick. I have been working the last 3 days. Have to go in today in an hour. Have been doing good. Lost a total of 19 pounds. Hopeing to hit 20 by tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good job on volleyball. Will write more tomorrow.

You are doing awesome girl, KEEP GOING!!!  I have been doing great with my eating, working out not as well as I should be.  I can tell I'm losing weight, but of course its not as fast as I wish it was =)  But its enough to keep me pumped and going, my next big goal is to get under 200, I will have to throw a party for myself when I reach that goal, of course it wont involve food!!  Less than two weeks until the reunion birthday party with my old youth group, I am still working super hard to knock off as much weight as is realistically possible by that point.  Tonight I have volleyball, am looking forward to moving around a lot!  Talk to you soon.

Hi Sarah,

I got really motivated after watching The Biggest Loser. So yesterday I ate

Breakfast - two eggs and toast

Lunch - 4 chicken nuggets and Pepsi

Dinner - Salmani sandwich with two pieces of thin meat, water

Snack -  half bag of popcorn

Worked out for one hour. Did level 2 on my cyclipco. Now that hurt. Burned almost 400 calories in 30 minutes and then went to the treadmill for 30 minutes burning  200 calories.

Waking up this morning feeling good. Weighed myself. Nothing lost. : (  

Ready for another day.

Breakfast - yogurt which I will have after I take Matthew to school at 8:30am. My body's aching. Haven't worked out hard in 2 weeks.

I am really proud of your 23 pound wt loss! You did a fantastic job. We will be thinner by your birthday party in June. I am kicking it up a notch!

It's been a crazy wintery day today!!  The snow is piled high, and Im trying to keep my spirits just as high!  I'm just ready for spring, I know it will come eventually!!  Doing good with my eating and keeping moving.  Keep up the good work Chrissy!!

Hi Sarah,

It's Friday! How are you doing? I am doing great. Just finished a workout! Whoooo HOOOOOO! do great this weekend!

Sarah,

I lost my computer for 2 days with the ice storm. I called the company and got $20 knocked off my bill. I have being doing good. But I need to work out twice a day. I have been so tired lately. Sounds like you have been doing fantastic!

The kids have another snow day today!  Those are always fun =)  I just ate some homeade beef and barly vegetable soup that Gary made yesterday, him and my mom came over for dinner last night.  It is oh so good!  My sisters going to come over in a few and Im going to make us both a yummy salad.  How is your day going?  Hope all is well.

Work for you sounds like it was fun!  You are doing great with your food eating!  I am proud of you, KEEP IT UP!!  Today for me is going good.  Ate a protein shake and grapefruit for breakfast.  Had a nice big salad for lunch.  I'm doing good, just need to get to walking in my treadmill today.  Talk to you soon!

Hi Sarah,

Well I worked until 2am and drove home 45 minutes in the rain, and got up at 7am with the kids. Matthew has school at 8am. They put me on the skilled unit which is like a hospital.  It was so hectic! I know I burned calories! I am tired but I want to get on the treadmill later. Plan on doing good, taking one day at a time. How is your morning? It's still rainy here.  Took the kids out back to play because the weather was in the 50's. Burned some calories there. Bye-Bye!

Hi Sarah,

I have worked the last two days and am going in again tonight. Not much time here at all. I weighed in and lost one pound. Congrats on your weight loss! You are doing good. I am so proud of you for sticking in there. Tomorrow I will workout and have some more time. Hopefully I can call you and see how your doing. I wil also come on here the rest of the week. Volleyball sounded like fun. And I know what you mean about thinking about food. I was the same way! I understand what you are feeling and going through. But we can do it. March 11th is the last day of the million pound match up. But we can still continue! We need to work on our essay that we never really finished. I still have the long version we have to cut down. I really wish we could of gotten a Baywatch video up. I think that would have helped.  Have a great day! 

Today is weigh in day and my scale dropped by 2 more pounds!  It's not what I was hoping for but at least its down and not up.  How did you do Chrissy?  This week I want to stay focused like I did last week, I know the weight is going to continue to come off!  Talk to you soon.
