slow but sure

Week 2 is over and i lost a pound! yay! Despite eating out Saturday and Sunday, I managed to eat well the other days and squeezed in exercise almost everyday which resulted in me losing 1.2lbs!  I think it helped that Darin and I ate out for lunch, and then ate a light dinner.  We may try to start eating our big meals on the weekend for lunch, instead of dinner, which is better for you since then you have more time in the day to work off what you ate!

Anyway, the numbers for week 2 are...

Kim: 145.8lbs
Darin: 186.4lbs
Jen:  134.4lbs

So far Jen is in the lead!  She has lost 3.03% of her bodyweight.  Good job Jen!

Also, kudos to Darin who actually went on the treadmill a few times this week!

discouraged...

so today marked the 1 week anniversary of our challenge.  and.........i'm losing.  i gained .4lbs. very discouraging, but i'm going to try to not let that get to me and continue to exercise and eat well and hopefully it will pay off in the long run.  :)

However, Darin lost weight!  So he is in the lead until we get the official statistics from Jen, who forgot to weigh in today.  We're not off to a good start...

Kim:  147lbs
Darin:  188.2lbs

I will post again tomorrow with Jen's weight.

PS.  Kimberly has decided to do aerobics with a bunch of old lady folk from her work... (what an old fuddy duddy) i wouldn't be surprised to find out it is Jazzercise

D.K.

Week 1 Recap

tomorrow marks the end of the first week of our challenge!  I know for me this past week, or I should say, these past few days, have been pretty difficult for me.  Saturday we went out for italian for Valentines Day so all those carbs certainly did not help my waistline.  Sunday was lots of picking at appetizers and more carbs (lasagne for dinner) at my moms for a scrapbooking party.  Monday we had a party at work, which is always a recipe for disaster because it is nonstop eating the whole workday.  Today i was finally able to get back to a normal eating schedule, so we'll see how much these last few days have affected me for the weigh-in tomorrow.

Also, Darin and I have started another weight-loss challenge.  If Darin loses at least 30lbs, I will allow him to get another cat.  But, it has to be an adult cat which has all of its shots, and he has to clean the litter box at least twice a week.  Oh, and if this new cat is mean to Neko in any way, he's out! (since Neko is our number 1 priority/love lol)

and the race begins!

Today starts Day 1 of the Kitashima Challenge!  We all weighed in this morning with our starting weights and I (Kim) started an Excel Spreadsheet to document our progress.  The winner will be determined by the percentage of weight loss by September 15. 

heres where we stand today:

Darin: 190.8
Jen: 138.6
Kim: 146.6 (shhh...this is a secret, i never disclose my weight!)

It has been decided that the two losers will have to take the winner out for dinner!

I, personally, found day 1 to be a little challenging because a coworker decided to bring in buffalo chicken dip to work.  I am quite proud of myself though for not giving in and only had 1 bite! yay!

I would also like to acknowledge Jen, who finally cleaned the dust off her elipitical and used it!  double yay for jen!

Welcome!

As we look forward to Jen's Big Day (October 15) we all decided it couldn't hurt to lose a few pounds.  So, here we are, its February 6 and we (Darin, Kim, and Jen) are about to start our weight-loss challenge. 


We will each weigh-in every Wednesday, starting February 9.

Each of us can use this blog to post about our progress and any obstacles we come across.

In May we will give out a Mid-season award.

Whoever loses the most by September 15 wins!

...any ideas of what the grand prize should be??
