M&T January Losses

Tammy lost about 6 lbs in January
I lost about 7 lbs and got to shave a little off twice this month!
I shave a little off at 5 lb goals -195, 190, 185, 180.  My goal weight is to keep under 180 (preferably under 175).  The best part is that co-workers, patients, and neighbors all know about it and are a constant motivation/reminder to me because they can SEE if I am doing well or not.  It has worked well, I have lost 10 lbs total since I started this! (check out the pics on Facebook)

January Loss

OK, I didn't do as well as I wanted, but since I agreed to do this, I will report that I lost 13 pounds in January.

HELLO 2011!

So I was wondering who was up for another Wardle Weight loss competition? No money just us keeping each other motivated! I will not be having any weight loss until the end of April, but at that point I hope to be dropping weight quite rapidly! I think we may have Tyler talked into participating if others are willing! So comment and let me know! We can see how good we are all doing at Disneyland this summer and then maybe see if we averaged more weight loss this year than 2009, (I think we averaged about 10lbs a person, that year). I don't know about you but weighting myself in once a week was great motivation to stick to it!

Fat Secret Website

Hey, I found this cool website that is totally FREE and lets you count your calories, exercise and much more. It is WAY easy to count calories because it has almost all the food right there for you to just pick (like Great Value Zesty Italian dressing, McDonalds items, generic/homemade ch. chip cookies, etc.). If you are following a specific diet you can pick that too. Lots of other tools on there that I may or may not even use.

who's in..

So i found some "sprint distance triathlons" that look like a lot of fun... you can split them with 1 or 2 other people.. i think we could do some.. whos in..

these ones are female only

and i think this one is too...

but really each leg of the race is short, so i think we could do them!

Did it!

1 lb down is not a huge accomplishment, especially when illness had more to do with it than will power, but still I dropped a pound over the holidays which is a step in the right direction.

Something weighing me down...

So I have a confession. I gained it all back. Yeah baby! I guess I just felt that there was something missing my life and now I am whole again. hahaha

Actually, it was just that with the move, getting sick and blah blah blah I ate too much and moved too little.

But NO MORE. I am back on the band wagon and I am going to start to lose again. And, since Christmas usually adds a few, I am going to lose DURING Christmas. I figure if I can lose during I will keep losing after.

So here I am: 0 lbs lost but soon some more!

how is everybody doing?

...this fine week after Halloween?.. all I know is my teeth hurt, that must be a sign that I gained weight this weekend.... how are you all doing?

Pictures from the 5k...

Wardle / Tatton 5k September 5, 2009 7:30 am

Here we are after the race...

Catherine as she gets he chip cut off her shoe...

Waiting for the race to start....

When is this thing gonna start?...

The chip on Amy's shoe...

This is what we looked like the whole 3.1 miles!

Showing off our consecutive numbers, 559, 560, and 561!

(these are the times we saw as we crossed the line)
Mark and Amy: 32 min 40 sec
Catherine: 33 min 11 sec

ok so I just checked the websites and these are the official times*
Mark 32 min 41 sec (10 min 30 sec mile pace)
Amy 32 min 42 sec ( 10 min 31 sec mile pace)
Catherine 33 min 16 sec (10 min 42 sec mile pace)

Quick side note... I would have placed second if I had signed up as a "Filly"... HAHA!

This week...

Ty and I maintained... It's a work in progress...

It took me a month...

But I am back to my starting point... with all the traveling, and bad eating that is entailed... I am here, and feeling much better, plus I am getting back to my workout routine... how is everybody else doing?

new goal..

So last year I made 17.5 lbs of my 22 lb goal, so I now have a new goal, to get to the "normal" BMI on the BMI scale, which is a total of 11 lbs... I pretty sure these 11 lbs are gonna be tough to loose, but I sure am gonna try... Good luck!

Tylers new goal is 40lbs. He says he wants to know what the motivation is?...lol... we never did cash in on the whole dollar a pound thing, are we going to try that again?

Mark's Total...

12 lbs. Not quite my goal of 15 but close. Now if I can only avoid gaining it all back during the reunion!

Radio Silence...

Now that we are just weeks away I need to get under the radar as to not alert my competition...
See you all at the reunion!

Stealth Mode On.

I have a new goal...

Ok so I had lost weight last week and then we drove to Washington to pick up the kids, needless to say I gained it all back. SO, because it seems I don't have a chance at Biggest Loser this year, I have a new goal. I am going to run (ok, jog) a 5k. And I don't have much time left to train, in fact you guys are all gonna have to help me. The 5k is July the 25th, so that means I am going to have to train while we are at the Wardle reunion. I started jogging on top of my nighly walk a couple of weeks ago, and have gotton up to joggin over 20 min (5 songs!.. that's how I count) without stopping, so I know I can walk the 3.1 miles, but I would really like to jog it! So I have three weeks to get there. So, add to your packing list, jogging shoes! Plus I have a new weight loss goal for Wardle Weightloss 2010! New goals all around!

Tyler maintained.

yeah!

I lost that pound from last week so I am back to where I should be. and I can feel that I will lose more this week. I can feel it in my bones!

Tyler Maintained.

No dice...that's twice!

Too bad, so sad!

GRRR..

I gained a lb... I would like to blame, my hair, it is growing at an unusually fast rate, just puttin on the pounds you know... if you don't buy that excuse then I would like to propose, that I ate way to many smores on our camping trip this weekend, and if for some odd reason you don't believe it was only the smores I propose it was the potoato chips, and other junk that happened to make it to the trip, I would like to excuse the watermelon from the list though, I am sure it wasn't the watermelon....

Tyler maintained.

A weightloss riddle for you...it's true!

Who loses weight with a day at the lake,
When Hotdogs and Snacks and Smores all attack?
Who, oh who could it be?





...NOT ME!
Better luck next week I hope!

Help!

Ok so I have maintained again... does anyone know how to loose the last 5 lbs to get to a goal? Apparently eating most of Tylers homemade cheesecake with ice cream and Carmel is not the way to do it... so I think I am missing something (and no unfortunatly I am not able to try Mark's jumpstart diet, I would cheat on day one...) I've got a month and a few days and I am feeling pretty helpless...but I sure am excited about going camping this weekend!
