Jenny and Jeanette's Biggest Loser Space

I overdid it this weekend.  I counted all my points but they where high, so I knew that I would be up a bit this morning compared to the weekend.  So hopefully I will be down more next week and I will try not to have my high point day on sunday.  It would ahve been ok expect I had 4 elfkin cookies.  Ugg, to find out they where 2 points a piece and I already had most of my points in for the day and still needed to add a bit for dinner.  So instead of seeing a great loss, I see only a little on.

 

I was reading this article I got the other day, I never buy good housekeeping but they had how several women loss weight and Valerie Bertinelli was in there and I just think she is so neat and appears to be sincere in here weight loss.  Anyway, but one woemen said she treated weight loss like a job.  Which for me at first was thinking, dang I would have an aweful resume if that was the case but then got to think about it and it made sense.  So on thursday I started to really get on my program and also really started to think ok, this makes sense.  I do other things because I have to and want to.  I really want to lose weight so why cant I stick to that.  So I am back on program and doing very well. I have combined ww with another program, not to the exact with the program but pretty close and it appears to be working.  It will also fit in nice with my new job and I am hoping to make this work.  I want to see a good weight loss by the end of this million pound matchup.  I know I probably wont loss all that I had hoped to but it will be a great start, again.

I havent blogged or done anything much for the past week because I have been sick.  Its annoying.  Actually its been over a week and whatever this is is not nice but am getting a bit better and hoping to add some light exercise in because I am so tired of laying around but dont have much choice in that matter.

 

Finally the scale is moving in the right direction.  This is a great feeling.  Just to keep it going now. 

 

 

I was watching the first season of Biggest Loser, almost all the episodes where on there. There were I think 3 missing. One was the second half of the finale. For those that have never seen the first season, like myself. They did the live finale with the final 3, that was one hour, and then announced they would do a second finale with the eliminated players. Which was cool because that must have been what i saw the very first time I saw biggest loser. But that wasnt the motivation. The motivation was during a bloopers and deleted seen episode. Jillian had a picture. I knew I loved her for a reason. I never knew, she struggled with weight. I cant remember her ever saying this again. She had a picture of herself. She had to be teenagerish. She didnt give an age. She just said this is a picture of when she was 150 lbs, and braces. And let me tell you, she was not gorgeous like she is now. I was so motivated because that is my weight. She is about my height. She is a tiny thing, like me. And well, I just love her. She gives me inspiration when I watch her on tv and now I know why. And she would probably make me cry if I ever met her but I would now know that she knows what i am going through and that would make me feel better.

 

 

Thanks for helping me spread the word about donating to the food bank.  Its a great idea, and well, I tried to spread it to some but find it very time consuming on my older then dirt computer, well its only 5 years old but in tech world thats a dinosaur and probably should be extinct.  lol.  Keep speading the word and lets see what happens.

 

 

I am a daily weigher.  Yes I admit it.  So really to be honest with you it doesnt matter what my wi day is.  I posted my weight anyway but I am not changing it for weight watchers.  I think it will help me better to have my points reset on thursdays because then I wont try to use my extra points all up on the days I am off.  Lets see if this mind set helps me.

 

 

After much deliberation with myself and not seeing results on monday and then by wednesday is really starting to just frustrate me.  Sooo I was going to change my wi day to wednesday, but then thought about it.  Maybe if I change it to thrusday, then my points will reset on thursday morning for weight watchers and then, maybe taht will help me with work, because if I over do it, I will have a fighting chance to recover myself on monday, tuesday, and wednesday because I am really good with staying in my point range for those day. 

 

 

I have to say even with the slip ups this week i am very excited. I am not looking forward to weighing in on monday though because tomorrow is the super bowl and we have a good spread planned.  I am going to eat well all day though and make sure that I dont over do it tomorrow.  I am not so much worried about eating to much as for the salt.  I am thinking i am going to change my wi days though to wednesdays only because I try to leave my high point days for the weekend and then on mondays my weight is up a bit, and by wednesday its back down again.  I can admit my exercise did suck this week.  Only because, I dont know, this weather is depressing and I would rather be outside and walking and trying to make myself focus on indoor exercise is just to much.  I do jog in place when watching my shows though, I figure at least I am moving somewhat. 

 

 

I have no idea what I am doing wrong.  I have been doing good, and again, I am not losing.  This is the part I hate.  I feel I am doing good.  I know i could do better with exercise.  I know i could do a bit better in the eating department, but I dont know if that will be enough.  Just needed to vent a bit I guess.

 

 

I cant speak for Jenny, but I can for myself.  I am completely horrified to put a picture of myself up on the website.  Especially considering it has to be a full length photo.  I really wanted to do it biggest loser style and do the shorts and sports bra thing, but I just cant handle it at this point.  I know we have to put the picture up, so maybe what I will do is try to put on my pants I want to fit into, and then take progress photos from there.  Dont know yet. 

 

 

Since I am not one to drop tons of weight but to lose inches, and since I am looking more for a size goal then a weight goal anyway, I thought I would put my measurements and keep track of my inches also.

I am very bottom heavy and that is where I always lose last.

I finally got my computer up and running. Not really sure how or what was really wrong with it. I hope with alot of positive thinking all will go well. Then Jeanette and I can get this page done. We think is so great that there are so many of you that want us to be on your friends list with out our page being up and running. That is just because of my computer and we were working so hard on getting it going, as I said hope all lis well now and soon you wil know all about us. That is all for now on the puter update I will put my info in soon. However my starting weight was 169.8 and as of todays date I am 166.4Lbs.
