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

Jen    - seems to keep forgetting that we weigh in on Wednesday

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

We're back!

And we return to our weight loss competition that continued through our vacation even if we did not weigh in.  Kimberly and I seemed to survive relatively unscathed as I managed to weigh in only 4 tenths higher than i did at our weigh in two weeks ago.  Kim bounced back up to 142.2 as she continues to yo-yo between 141 and 142 so the vacation did not seem to have any ill effects on her weight either.  This was a vacation filled with lots of lobster and butter and soups comprised entirely of cream so I am quite pleased with where we currently are.  Jen forget to weigh in today so I'll be updating the blog tomorrow with her numbers.  We are drawing very close to our mid-competition reward as that weigh in takes place on june 8th the day before Jen leaves for what will certainly be a food indulgent cruise.  I also ran 3 miles in less than 30 minutes yesterday which probably hasn't occured since highschool, averaging less than 10 minutes per mile.  Maybe for motivation I should have Kimbo post her running times on here as encouragement.  If you think we should post our running times as well please leave a comment saying so.



1 point us, no points lobster stew

Kim     142.2
Darin   167.8
Jen      129.0

Last Weigh in before Vacation

Today was our final weigh before Kim and I go on our trip to Boston and effectively negate about 1 month of dieting in about 4 days.  Darin continued his weight loss with another 1.4lbs lost while Kim was able to lose the .6lbs she gained last week to break even.  Jen had a small gain this week but it was probably a victory considering on Saturday she ate fried chicken, fries, applepies, and nearly also bought soup, cupcakes, and a chocolate peanut butter cake.  I fully expect this vacation to set me back about 3 weeks but we'll have to see.  i'm planning to have a lobster roll a day and i plan to enjoy it and then get back on the weight loss wagon when we get back.

Jen - 128
kim - 141.2
Darin  - 167.4
