Mark vs Munchies...all tied up!

That's right, in the rematch I was able to come back so we are even again!
This week, I working on a knock-out strategy to secure the win against the munchies!

I have to say...

That I love my chances of winning the biggest loser this July.. they just keep getting better and better... my two biggest competitors are out of the running! Party on!.. Congrats guys! What are we at #24? (plus we are that much closer to Grandpa getting his 30 without me and Tyler having 5.. you guys keep up the good work cause we are pretty content with our 2!)

Sadly...

I only maintained. As of Friday morning I had lost over a pound but of course I gave into temptation this weekend when Tyler brought home a package of double stuff oreos and some thin mints cookies (I think the list said graham crackers:).. but alas... I was the one that succumbed to the temptation and made pudding parfaits out of them... I will learn and do better next week!


Update** Tyler lost one pound this week! Woohoo!

Mark vs Munchies...

Munchies won this week! I'll take 'em on again next week!

another week down...

and that is way down for me! a whole three pounds! woohoo three pounds.. for a total of 10, just one lb from half of my goal! It feels so good!

Week ?

Well I lost this week but not enough to report a full 1/2 lb...so I will stay the same and hope to get more next week. We did eat really well with a few salads this week, we even took 4 family walks (monday thru thursdsay.. rain and snow too!) but Cameron got sick Friday, Kevin and Tyler got sick saturday and I apparntly got it this morning.. the both ends, up till 4 in the morning, how many baths have the kids had already tonight? kind of sick.. bad stuff... hope it passes soon!

1 down...10 to go!

I am finally starting to lose weight again (just in time for the family parties and Easter candy!). That marks 5 lbs so I just have 10 more to go for my goal!

Back in the game!

so I weighed myself this afternoon, I am 7 lbs down from vacation, so I am officially back in the game. We've got lots to unpack.. we will see how we do this week!

Stuck

I am still Stuck in Maintenance City. I have still been running lots (10 miles yesterday), but apparently my calorie intake has increased to match it! I do feel good after the runs though. Hopefully as I continue my carb cravings will go down and my calorie burn will stay high...then we'll be back on the road to weightloss!

we will see...

Well me and the boys get back to our house this Friday... a house WITHOUT all these snacks so we will get back on the scale soon, Tyler bought a new scale so I of course will have an excuse for a few extra pounds... then we can get down to business! I did happen to notice that the last post was out 100th post and the lucky Troy and Jackee made it! I would give them a lb allowance for celebration, but I don't think they need it so I will just give them a big thumbs up for keeping with it all this time... not very much time left.. the reunion is coming up quick! Can we still get our goal?

Too Many Cookies!

Well, this month I made and consumed a few too many cookies so the loss isn't great. However, there is a small loss of 2.5 lbs., so I guess I should be happy about that. I guess I had a few more days of being good than of indulging. My total loss is 25 which is half way to my goal. The problem is that we are way more than halfway to the Wardle vacation. Sigh!!! I guess I have to work harder.

23 4 1

This last week I was on the treadmill for 23 miles (over several days of course). It helped me drop 1 lb! So 23 miles FOR 1 lb...
I have 11 more lbs to go so that's 253 more miles! Or I guess I could just eat a few less snacks!

Bubble Burster...

Do we all realize that we have about 350 goal-lbs to go in about 140 days? That's almost 2.5lbs a day, or about 17lbs a week! Not that we can't do it if everyone hits their personal goals (and I am hoping some of you have just been holding back on the reporting), but I just wanted to remind us all that the clock is still ticking.... Only 4 1/2 months left! (I'm still behind myself so I better get cracking!)

Jazz it up!

I know I said there were not any Saturday night party's to ruin this week's weigh-in but...
Moriah actually was able to go to the Jazz BBall game with her junior Jazz team and I went with her. We had a blast. Of course, how can you enjoy a Basketball game without hotdogs and snack food. Luckily, my weigh-in shows I am still maintaining so that is at least something. Hopefully next week I will stop the plateau phase and start moving down again.

All for not...

So I have been doing pretty well this week maintaining last wk's weight loss and even thought I had shaved off another pound or two. However, it was all for not as we had our Feb birthday/Valentine's party yesterday with all the "Utah -Click" plus Mom and Dad. Let's just say I had one or two too many slices of pizza and way too much cake to weigh in this week! We'll see what next week brings! There are no Saturday night party's that I am aware of...but you never know! ;)
-Mark

Sorry!

I totally weighed on Sunday and then forgot to blog about it. I am 4.5 lbs lower than I was at Bear Lake, So I have some serious work to do... But at least I have (another) starting point. Off to the races!

Going the right direction...finally

So after a week of trying to resist all the late night "Rachel-Snacks", I have dropped 3lbs.
Hopefully the other 5lbs come off as quick so I can get back to were I was!

Right there with ya...almost

I hear ya Tyler! Over the holidays I did manage to gain some of the lbs back but then something even more devastating happened! Rachel moved in. While, like the holidays, it is fun and exciting to have her here, it is also filled with lots of treats that I really shouldn't eat! Let's just say Rachel has a sweet tooth and has a late-night eating habit. Unfortunately I no longer have her level of metabolism!
So, to make a long excuse shorter...I have gained ALL my previous weight back and get to start over as well! Hopefully since it came back on fast (and Rachel has decided so many late night snacks probably are not wise) I should be able to get back on track! (Currently I am resisting her caramel popcorn she just made...I love caramel!)
Here's to hoping!

New Beginning

Yes Jackee, I know it's been quiet here on the WWL blog. Catherine hasn't been posting a whole lot during her treatments, and I'm just a bad blogger. However, I am hoping to start losing some weight again. For the record I started this little thing at about 302 lbs, and got down to 295 lbs fairly quickly. But when Catherine left me in Oklahoma (rude), I put on a few. After having dropped a few since being in California (from just not eating out 2 meals a day and the other meal usually being a frozen pizza), I am still at the highest weight I've ever known for sure (I wasn't really weighing myself when I put on all the weight). Now, at a whopping 313 lbs., I feel like I need to get back on the waggon. Catherine and I worked out Monday and Tuesday this week, and hopefully will continue doing so after we leave California. It felt good to work up a sweat. Now I just need to work on the eating habits. Hmmm... I guess I'll go put the cookies I baked away for the night. I'll try not to bake tomorrow! ;-)

Helloooooooo...Echo Echo Echo

Where is everybody? If this keeps up, I may have to post weekly. For the month of January I am down 4.5 lbs. I think the treadmill does help, Catherine. I hope it works for you, too. According to Weight Watchers today, I lost three this week. I don't get it, though, sometimes I weigh more there than my scale and sometimes I weigh less. Anyway, for the WWL, I am using my own scale and according to it, I lost 2 this last week.
