Wheels and Heels

Hi everyone,

 

Hope you are still keeping on!!  We are doing great and have lost a total of 91.2 lbs....wooohoooo.  Life is a challenge and so is a healthy life style.  yet, it seeps right into your bones.  This past week the gym was closed for it's annual cleaning and boy was it a shock to see how much I missed it.  Yes we tried a couple others out in the mean time but they were not "my gym".  I am still up on my feet and doing things like the elliptical and even the stair mill for a couple of minutes.  it is truly amazing!  I am still a part of the Goal Getters on the Biggest Loser Club website and love the support, motivation, amd inspiration that is throughout the site!!  I have been able to give back to these amazing folks by becoming more involved and accountable along the way.

 

That being said I love cardio and struggle more with doing the strength training but it comes along as well.  My food is good and at 1,499 - 1,799 calories of which I stick to the high end.  I have not had many weeks where the scale has went up but it slowly and surely continues to journey downward so I have no complaints.

 

The weight loss is great but the walking, more positive attitude, the smaller clothes, the more stamina, and the overall feel of achievement are much greater.  I am looking forward to the show coming back this fall and working out and losing with the other "losers".

 

Hope you are all still at it and enjoying this new life style and the journey along the way!!!

 

Take care and get that booty movin',

Boy it has been too long since we have been out here to say hi and that we are still living healthy.  We have lost a total of 80.5 lbs as of last Friday...how exciting is that!!!!  The Biggest Loser Club has been the best thing we have done to stay motivated and continue on this awesome journey.  We are both involved on one of the bootcamp teams the Goal Getters and there is an amazing group of ladies there.  For the most part life is just good today.  There are those roller coaster days but they are farther andfarther in between. 

 

Hope everyone out there is still doing this new way of life and loving it!  Together we can succeed and WILL!!

 

Take care everyone,

Mary

Hi everyone,

 

It has been a long long time since I have posted out here.  Sorry about that.  Life is good and full and healthy.  Hoping either this week or next to be at a loss of 50 pounds...can you believe it?  if you would of ask me where I thought I'd be after 16 short weeks it certainly wouldn't have been this far along.  Life is good.  I have been doing BootCamps with the Biggest Loser club and they are truly transforming inside and out!!  I am on the best team around out there called the Goal Getters and the name says it all for this group of ladies.  I am still on my feet and have not had any problems as of late with the Rheumatoid Arthritis.....for this I am very grateful.  Being this healthy has helped my joints tremendously, as well as my whole outlook on life.  I truly believe this is a journey of the mind.  What I believe of myself I will become!  Again sorry for taking so long to check in but wanted everyone to know life is good today....and since today is all we get it works for me!!

 

Take care all and let us know how you are doing!!

but i just wanted to drop in and say hi to anybody who does swing by. this week has been bumpy because i caught a cold again. you'd think with all the improvements i've made with food and exercise especially, that i'd be a little less prone to getting the crud, but no luck lately. still, i'm so happy with how things are going and the changes we're making towards launching a new life.

 

we've lost around 70 lbs between us now. if you'd told me that was even possible at christmas i would have thought you were nuts, but here we are. i'm hoping as soon as i feel a little better, maybe tomorrow, i can get back to the gym. i think moving is going to be the thing that keeps me afloat.

 

anyway. not much else to say, but wanted to say hi and let everybody know we're out here and even if we're not at the finale, we'll be cheering THE GIRLS on at home (the guys are great, but it's time for a woman to win!)

 

best to everybody!

Good morning all,

 

How are you all?  Are you still working away the pounds?  I hope so.  We are doing well here I had 2.5 lbs tro bury and felt good about that.  My clothes are swimming on me but not ready to get many new ones because I still have quite a ways to my goal weight.  Getting ready to go to my parents for lunch it should be really nice.  I will pass on the ham probably or have a very small piece.  Not a lot isd new just working out still like a ninja!!  Have a wonderful Easter all and be mindful of what you are eating!!

 

Take care,

mary
