losing weight is hard...

especially if your name is kim.

and especially if your name is kim and you like to eat chinese food once a week.

oh well, you only live once, and chinese food is tasty.  though it does make it particularly challenging to lose weight in a weight-loss competition.

besides wanting to eat chinese food every week, i've been doing ok with my eating, though apparently not ok enough because i'm not losing any weight.  however, I have been hiking almost every weekend which is increasing my time exercising quite a bit.  not to mention my 10.62 mile, 5.5 hour hike i did the other weekend.  i probably burned a gazillion calories which I guess isn't enough when you have my metabolism.

enough about me!  not sure jen is still actively participating in the competition, haven't heard too much from her lately..Darin on the other hand is still doing good!  I'm quite proud of him actually that even though he got his second cat, hes still been keeping up with his exercising. Keep it up Darin!  Soon you and I will be the same weight!

This weeks weights:

Darin: 160.2
Kim: 141.2
Jen: 132.2

Kim's Turn

This post is a reminder that Kim is neglecting her weight loss blog....

Friday, June 17, 2011

The time has arrived!

Kim - 140.6
Darin - 162.6
Jen - on Vacation

However, Kimberly has agreed that it is only a matter of time before I hit 160 and she has given me the green light to start the process of adoptiong our second cat.  We are now awaiting the thumbs up from the Cat Shack in Trexlertown so we can meet Mario. 


Now we know that sometimes these shelters can be an incredible pain especially since Neko hasn't been to a vet since '08 but we are hoping they will be pretty cooperative.  As far as names for our new buddy we are leaning towards Fabio, but other names in contention are Chooch, Oreo, and Domino.

Getting back to the weights though, after acheiving my main goal of the competition it will be a little tougher unless Jen can turn her weight direction around and make this a competition again.  I'm looking for an incentive to get to 140 now that is not cat related, any suggestions?

This Weeks weights

Darin - 163.4
Kim   - 141.4
Jen    - 132.2

Kim insisted on having a blog for this thing yet she doesn't want to actually make any blog posts...  so i told her i would disparage her for a little bit.  So i will point out that when the competition started I was 44.2 lbs heavier than her.. now I am a mere 22lbs  away... and I am quickly approaching...  Look out Kimbo, here I come.

The mid-way point!

Jen conceded that I was going to win the midway competition so this weeks weights will function as our midway point through the competition.  Halfway thru these are our results.

Darin -166.4
Kim   -140.2
Jen     -131.0

To date this is the total amount of pounds lost to this point.

Darin  - 24.2lbs
Jen     - 7.6lbs
Kim    -  6.4lbs

To date the percent of weight lost.

Darin - 12.79%
Jen    -  5.48%
Kim   - 4.37%

congratulations to everyone so far as we have all lost weight so far.  Jen has been trending in the wrong direction the pat couple of weeks while Kim has been heading in the right direction but Jen has confirmed that when she gets back from the cruise she intends on giving us a run for her money.    Again, congratulations to all our participants and here's to a strong second half of the competition.

Congrats kim!

Kimbo has lost another pound for two weeks in a row now, yay!!  And she decided to celebrate with a big plate of doritos covered in pulled pork and cheese!



Mainly because there weren't enough tortilla chips for us both to use them so she took what i jokingly suggested about using doritos instead and actually did it.  But i suppose she has earned the right to cover doritos with tasty pulled pork and cheese, the equivalent of dipping coke in heroine for kimbo.  This weeks weights..

Darin -166.4
Kim   -140.2
Jen    - seems to keep forgetting that we weigh in on Wednesday

Tubby Lumpkins

Ode to Mr Chunkers:

Mr Chunkers you are a cat
Mr Chunkers you are quite fat
Mr Chunkers has pudgy feet
Mr Chunkers lives to eat

A fat cat he may be,
but a cat full of personality is what we see,
His soft round belly has been there for a while,
but we won't hold it against him because he makes us smile.


And on that note the weights for this week.

Kim:    141.2
Jen:      130.2
Darin   166.0
