    Weigh-in

    We weighed in today and I went down 2 lbs to 222.5 and Adam stayed where he was at 270.  Just to recap, we started on January 1st with me at 229 and Adam at 282.  I'm happy that we are losing weight.  I have gotten into the groove of moderating my food and making sure that we exercise.  I visited all my "friends" sight and posted a message about an article that I have written.  For all of you who didn't see or are not on my "friends" list, I wrote an article and posted some links about weight loss.  You can find it at http://jenishealthspot.weebly.com/.  I hope it is helpful.  God bless.

    The Humiliation

    Well, we did go roller skating last night.  It was a school event, so it was just kids and their families from my kids school.  My son did pretty well and got better as the night went on.  My husband and I were wobbly, but not too bad (considering that it has been more than 10 years since we've been on skates).  So the night started out ok.  I took my daughter out and immediately realized that she has no, absolutely no balance.  I was extremely sore after one round with her, because she couldn't stand up for more than a few seconds, so I kept catching her.  My husband took her out after that and she gradually got better.  My husband and I even got a chance to skate together.  Towards the end of the night, my husband took my daughter out and I thought I would skate a couple of rounds.  Until it happened. . . I came around the corner, not going real fast, and a girl fell right in front of my feet.  I couldn't do anything about it except put all of my weight on my front hand so I didn't crush her.  The poor girl was screaming, because her hand was hurt.  I apologized to her mother when she came to get her.  If ever there was a moment when I felt fat, that was it.  Keep in mind that this place was packed.  So, to get over that humiliation I got up to skate one more round to kind of ease my nerves, and not five seconds later my feet came out from under me and I landed square on my butt!  I could hear laughter and I was hurt so bad I barely was able to get up.  I went back to the table, trying not to burst out in tears.  I let the kids and my husband finish out the night and I went home in shame.  The night started good, but ended bad!  It's just more motivation for me lose weight. . . or baricade myself in my house, and I don't want to do that.  Well, I hope all of you had a better night than me.

    Just Wednesday

    Well today is good.  We are going roller skating tonight with the kids.  I am exited, but I haven't been on skates for years.  I'm sure I'll make a fool of myself, but that's o.k.  It should be good exercise, I'm worried about the food.  I need to make sure that I eat moderately.  I will let you know how it goes.

    Weekly Weigh-In

    Well, we didn't have a wonderful week.  We had some weak moments, but came out of it o.k.  I went down to 224.5, which is only a half pound loss, but it's a loss.  Adam went down to 270.  It wasn't the greatest week, but it wasn't the worst either.  I'm sure we will have some bigger numbers this week.  Keep it up everybody!

    Correction

    Adam gained one pound this week, istead of losing half a pound.  Just wanted to correct my last blog.

    Weekly Weigh-In

    Adam and I weighed in today.  He went down half a pound and I went down 2 pounds.  Adam's current weight is 271 and my current weight is 225.  I am so excited that I had a good week!  I hope all of you are doing well.  Keep at it, it'll come off!

    Weekly Weigh-In

    Another disappointing week for me.  I stayed the same, so I am still at 227.  Adam lost one pound and went down 270.5.  I am just glad that I didn't gain any weight and I am proud of Adam for his loss.  Hope the rest of you are doing well!  Keep going!

    Weekly Weigh-in

    Adam and I weighed in today.  He went from 281 to 271.5.  A loss of 9.5 lbs.  He did really well this week.  I went from 230.5 to 227.  I would have liked a larger loss, but 3.5lbs is better than nothing.  I am just happy that it is a loss.

    Just an update

    Well, even though the past few weeks haven't been good to me, I haven't given up.  I have kicked up my exercise and am now counting my calories to make sure that I don't over do it.  Adam is also still doing well.  I expect that we will see big numbers from him this week.  I just want to see the numbers going down!  Only time will tell.  Anyway I will be back on Sunday or Monday to update our weights.  Good luck and God bless to all of you!

    Disappointment

    Hello fellow fighters,
    I am disappointed to report that awesome numbers were not seen this week.  I weighed in at 230.5, which is 1.5 lbs more than I was last week.  I don't understand.  I'll keep at it and hopefully have a better report this week.  However, Adam is down six pounds to 281.  I am so proud of him.  Keep going everybody.  They say it ain't over till the fat lady sings, I think that is where it begins!

    Thursday

    We are still doing well.  I (Jeni) am actually looking forward to weighing in this weekend.  It is important to get creative with meals and try new spices.  I had to make myself exercise today because I wasn't feeling well.  However, I did it.  I am proud of myself, it gives me a sense of accomplishment.  I will post again this weekend with some awsome numbers!

    Just an update

    Well, we are still doing well since our slip-up during our move.  I (Jeni) have been exercising faithfully and I even went out and shoveled the driveway today.  I sure do thank God that our driveway isn't too long!  Adam has been away on a business trip, but says he did well while he was gone.  We hope all of you are doing well.  Just take it a day at a time.

    First Day

    Well, its the first of January and we are beginning our lifestyle change.  We have tried before and failed, but this time we will succeed.  We are still young, but feel about thirty years older than we are.  We have two wonderful children that we would like to be able to keep up with.  Adam is starting at 282 lbs. and I am starting at 229 lbs.  We will try to load our pictures up tomorrow.  This is going to take perseverance, motivation, and a whole lot of prayer!  Good luck to all who are fighting the same cause!  We look forward to teaming up with you for longer, healthier lives!  Happy New Year!
