Okay, so I weighed myself on Sunday and I didn't lose any weight from the last weigh in, however I did have company and the fact that I didn't gain is a plus so... SCORE!!! LOL!
I stayed at 263.8 lbs. That's fine...
Here are my stats for Phase1.
Starting Weight 279
Ending Weight: 263.8
Pounds Lost (Phase1): 15.2
*******************************************************
Okay, starting Phase2.
Starting Weight: 263.8
Goal for Phase2: 237.4
Pounds to Goal: 26.4
Back to eating healthy and making better choices. Adding in exercise this time around and alot more of it if I can help it. My hubby and I have taken up bike riding and I really enjoy it. Of course our first day out - I did a very graceful dismount and almost killed myself which is when I realized I was going to have to accept my height deficiency and go get a smaller bike. So, we did! And I really love it. It's the right size and believe it or not - PINK! Anyway, hubby and I went out on Saturday for our first ride (4 miles) and we've been doing that ride each day. This weekend we'll kick it up a little higher and then go a week doing that. I really enjoy the rides - especially at night after work. I'm hoping that my very near 'future' plans do not interfere with it, but I'm going to have to make this a priority. I'm going to start looking for bike trails for us to go check out. Just ones for beginners for now, of course, but it'll be fun to check out different areas. Hopefully - adding the exercise will help me kick this weight loss up a notch! I think I counted 17 weeks to the next goal. I'm actually excited!

Betty and BB have fat asses!! 4.26.09
Betty:
New Weight: 349.2
Pounds Lost This Week: (4.4)
Pounds Lost So Far: 34.8
Pounds to Goal: 23.2
BB:
New weight: 218.2
Pounds Lost This Week: .4
Pounds Lost So Far: 20.0
Pounds to Goal: 4.0
Impressive, not? We're regrouping, and these numbers are the old numbers/progress/etc from the first phase of the project. We have a new goal date/deadline (8.22.09) and we're setting our goal for this next phase at 10%. So, the new data is as follows:
Betty:
Starting Weight: 349.2
Goal: 314.2
Pounds to Goal: 35
BB:
Starting Weight: 218.2
Goal: 196.4
Pounds to Goal: 21.8
Things might be a little rough this week yet - we have a houseguest and it's so hard to not go out to eat - but that will be done this week and, while we'll try to keep things under control as much as possible, it might still be a little off this week. We're hanging in there, though!

Monday 4.20 - Betty's Quick Update
Just to feel like I'm holding myself accountable, I wanted to quickly post my weigh-in for today - 348. So I'm up 2.8 from the last official weigh-in, which sucks, but that's how it goes. I'm hoping to be back to that in this week (and I should be). That's all for this morning, gotta run!

Betty April 19th
No weigh-in today. BB and I weighed in (unofficially) about 9 days ago, and then went away for the weekend for a mini-vacation. Things have been out of control since then. I am up about 3 pounds from my last weigh-in, and she is too. We are restocked with good food and are getting right back to it tomorrow, no excuses.
We've both felt like crap all week but things were just lining up against our efforts and intentions to behave ourselves. She's got some teenage/girl issues going on and just wants to eat mountains of chocolate; we had not had a chance to get to the grocery store and buy the foods we need to have in the house, so there was nothing good here to choose from. These are all piss-poor excuses, I realize, but they are not so much excuses as merely the reasons why we have been so bad. There IS no valid excuse.
But anyway, there it is. The crappy part is that there is now no way I can hit my goal by the first deadline of 4/23. I'm about 20 pounds away from it, which sucks, but that's okay. Looking at the long run.... it WILL come off (but I have to accept that there WILL be days and/or weeks when I have setbacks, whether they are out of my control, or completely in my control (as this week was)).
Wilma and I (and, by extension, BB) will have to reassess our next goal this week, which should rejuvenate my efforts!

Wilma Here...
Hi! It's Wilma! Back from... well I really didn't go any place, just wasn't on the blog. Honestly, I didn't want to face seeing how far behind I am in the grand scheme of things.
New Weight: 263.8
Pounds Lost This Week: 1.2
Pounds Lost So Far: 15.2
Pounds to Goal: 26.6
My previous logged weigh-in was about three weeks ago. I'm not sure how that happened, I know I've been weighing myself, but I guess I just wasn't doing good job of logging it. Anyway. I'm still going down - however slow it could be - SERIOUSLY!! Could it BE any slower (-Chandler, from Friends) It's quite frustrating really. I'm eating well, although I know I'm not eating enough times some days and that is already a known problem for me. I tend to skip meals because I'm busy and then I eat more at one sitting - even if it's all healthy foods, it's still telling my body that I'm starving it and then piling in the calories.. I do well when I focus on eating small meals and I just have to stay on track.
Exercise is a big thing for me too! I have a gym right in my house - no I'm not wealthy - shoot! I live paycheck to paycheck, just like the rest of the country! But I have a Total Gym, an Elliptical, a trampoline, exercise ball, weights and bands!! I just have to make myself get in there. Getting started is my biggest problem. Once I'm doing it, it's enjoyable (just like my friend Betty) - but getting that motivation to get in there and do it is a big issue. Of course, I think part of it is, I want to be with my hubby all the time.. Sad, I know. LOL! So, I don't want to go workout in another room or take a bike ride or something on my own. If he's here, I want to be with him and not in the gym. I guess I'll have to start dragging him in there with me!!
Oh and for you married women.. Yeah, uh.. My husband and I could fill in for those little characters on the SlimQuick commercials! He's already losing his belly!!! And I haven't even budged in my size (well not dramatically anyway) Grrrrrrrrr!!
Alright - I'm done rambling for now. Happy Easter, everyone! This time next year I hope to be 100lbs+ thinner and working on keeping a slim body! ;o)
PS - I will start blogging more. I know we're only doing this for ourselves, but Betty is right, it helps. I'll do it too.. For our followers, thank you so much for reading. If you're struggling they way we are, drop us a line! The more the merrier, right!? Peas Out! - Wilma

Wednesday 4.8
I am coping with a whole shitpile of emotional/personal issues right now and it's taking everything I have to not dive head first into a pile of marshmallow peeps and peanut butter eggs. Good thing I actually feel nauseous - that might help me NOT start emotional eating.
I had a good day food-wise up until tonight - I didn't eat anything since lunch and now I'm afraid to because I don't feel very well. I know that not eating enough (and regularly) is just as bad (almost) as eating too much, so I'm not happy about it, but that's how it goes today. Tomorrow's another day.

4.7 (Betty)
Decent day today, I ate well. I am still trying to figure out when I'm going to squeeze any exercise into an already-overpacked daily schedule. I belong to a gym, and to be completely honest, I really do enjoy going - once I am actually there. And also, to be honest, I haven't been there in years. Location-wise, it's not completely convenient - or, I should say, it is more convenient to NOT go. That's how I got this big ole ass, though - by NOT going!

Monday 4.6
I made it back on track today, for the most part. I had my usual breakfast (egg beaters, high-fiber english muffin, soy sausage patties, a slice of cheese, and a glass of milk), then for lunch I went to an Au Bon Pain and had a Turkey Cobb salad with fat-free Raspberry Vinaigrette dressing. I should have gotten it without the bacon and gorgonzola cheese, but there wasn't much of either on it and it still wasn't too bad (nutrition-wise). Tonight I had broiled tilapia and some steamed veggies. I also ate a small leftover salad from last night which I shouldn't have had (it had cheese and regular dressing on it) - that was the "for the most part" comment above.
I need to start getting some exercise into my schedule - the question is WHERE. I'm not going to worry about it this week, because it's a short week (traveling this weekend), but next week I have to make it a priority. Today the only cardiac exercise I got was when I saw a mouse in the laundramat and jumped (and screamed, and did the "I saw a mouse!" dance)...
I need to get on here every day and make at least a few notes. So for anyone who reads this, sorry for the minutia, but it's how it has to be for now :)
