WE FINISHED

Ladies Congrats!  Seriously I mean this with all of my heart when I say how amazed I am at how well everybody did.  I honestly shed a few tears this week as I thought about each one of you individually and how much hard work I know you have put into this journey. Losing weight is not easy.  Eating healthy is not easy.  But it is soooo worth it.  I need to remind myself of this as I stuff all of my childrens Halloween candy down my throat!!  Thank you for all of your kindness, hard work, patience and dedication these last 8 weeks.  For me I weighed in the EXACT same that I did when we started.  I found myself being very disappointed in myself BUT with that said, I maintained.  I think my goals for the holidays is to not eat myself into oblivion.  I truly love when I feel healthy and it makes me not just a healthier person, but a better mother and wife.  Thank you again and I love you all!!!!

Results Week 7, ONE MORE WEEK!!

I am amazed at how close the race got these past two weeks, WOW!!! You guys are amazing and should pat yourselves on your back because if you look at how much weight we have all lost, it equals that of a human being!:)  Seriously, you guys have done amazing.  I am so excited to see what the results show up next week and see how it ends.  Thank you all for being so patient with me these past two weeks.  I finally feel like a human, although I still have a good choking cough here and there:)  It make me appreciate my health and my body so much more when I get so sick.  It makes me realize how much better I need to take care of my body and treat it good.  Thanks again for all you guys do! Love you all

Results Week 5/6

Ladies, thank you again for being so patient regarding the results this week.  I just want to say how amazed I am at the amount of weight everybody has lost this round.  Whether it is 1/2 of a pound or 10 pounds you should all be proud.  I cannot believe we are almost done!  We end here in just 3 weeks, the day before Halloween!  Is anybody else dying with all the pumpkin yumminess and holiday foods that are starting to come out!!  I already bought my Stephens Candy Cane Hot Chocolate and I fear for my figure:)  You guys are amazing and I love talking to you each week.  I am sorry if I don't get a personal email out to you each week when you send me your results but please know I think you all are amazing and doing such a great job!!!

Results week 4 weigh in 5, 1/2 way done!!!

Great job ladies once again!  I am so sorry that this post is two days past the weigh ins.  I think school is seriously trying to kill me and I am questioning my sanity.  Thank you so much for your patience and understanding.  Can you believe that we are 1/2 way through??!!!  Does anybody else want to squeeze little sarah blair for coming in the front out of nowhere!!:)  No, but she is working hard!!  I have been such a slacker lately.  I have not really lost any weight recently and have been eating more than usual.  Its amazing how life can change, and the stress that comes along with it makes you want to eat everything in sight!! Anybody else going through change that makes you want to eat chocolate all day long?!  Love you guys!

Results Week 3 Weigh in 4

Amazing Job everyone, and watch out Sarah Blair!!!! So I had some issues trying to get Sarah's numbers in the last couple of weeks and when I talked to her yesterday I  was like " hold on!"  and the poor girl was interrogated by myself:)  But she has been doing cross country and eating healthy so power to you Sarah!!!!  It goes to show you how one week can change everything.  I love the last few weeks of the competition because they always so fast, and it is honestly easy to jump up a few percentage points after a week of hard work ( and vice versa).  Keep up the great work ladies, and just to quote one of my fellow "losers", its the tortoise that wins in the end, not the hare!  Love you all!

Results Week 2/3

Well Ladies another week come and gone!! I hope everyone had a great week and that some habits are changing and excersize routines are taking place.  If they are not, don't worry!! Today is a new day!  Also we have so many people this round that I wanted to remind you not to be discouraged if you are "low" on the list.  Let me just say last week I was 7th and this week I am 11th.  I am going to pick on Alina because she is my sister but she has been kicking butt the last few months and this past week she went from number 4 to number  17:)  Its ok Alina, you look amazing!! The point I am making is things can change soooo fast from one week to another.  THIS IS A TEST of ENDURANCE.  I just want to say I am sooooo inspired by all of you.  With being back in school I have found it so much easier to let my fitness take a back seat. Now granted I might not get in the gym as much as I used to but you all inspire me to get out and take a walk even if that is all I have time for.  Thank you all and good luck this week!!!!

Welcome to the 1st set of results....NOW BREATHE!!!:) Ok the first week is always rough and I want to point out a few things before you start getting down on yourself if you are not where you wanted to be. 

1st- WE are only in week 1 of an 8 week competition!  You can start off at the bottom and be a winner by the end because it is a test of endurance.  For those at the top of the list remember that those of us towards the bottom have even more of an edge to push to the top!:)

2nd-  To make it clear, if you weighed yourself last Monday night on accident, than you HAVE to send in your weight on Mondays nights from here on out.  I was talking to a few people and think I may have not made it clear that you MUST weigh in at the same time which for our group is Tuesdays Mornings, anytime before noon.  If this is the case, just drop me a note, your not in trouble:), and we will fix it!:)  If so, you wouldnt be the first person to do this including myself the first time I did a Biggest Loser competition.

3rd- SOOOO proud of everyone.  Look at how amazing you guys did just the first week.  Seriously I am just amazed at the hard work and effort each one of you have put in individually.

4th-  Be on the heads up for a girls night out here in the next two weeks.  Most likely I will set up a night for all of us to get together and swap recipies and chat next week but I need to check with the hubs schedule to make sure we are in aggreance for some womanly chaos:)

Thanks so much for all you do ladies and I think we have an AMAZING group this go around!!
