Katie Day 13

It was ATTACK OF THE MUNCHIES for me today! I had my usual breakfast of cereal, fruit, and milk and then by mid morning I was way hungry so I had a Fiber One Brownie. Around lunch time I fed my little man some noodles and peaches. His mac and cheese looked soooo good to me so I had a bite. I then had another bite and was going for my third bite when I stopped myself and realized that I too needed to eat lunch and I could waste my calories or be good. I was good and made myself a chicken wrap. It wasn't as good as yesterday and after I ate it I wanted something more. So I drank some water :) We then went to costco and although I wanted everything that was being sampled I was strong and didn't have anything! I did however buy some more dried fruit and Fiber One Brownies. Dan hadn't eaten so he got in line and got a hot dog and a lemonade. Talk about torture!! I wanted a coke so badly but I knew if I gave into my craving I would be disappointed in myself. It took all my will power to get out of costco without buying something at the food counter. We got to the car and I opened up a bag of dried apples and ate those while my husband ate his mouth watering hot dog! Needless to say the apples didn't do the trick and my mouth was watering for a nice and greasy hot dog! However I stayed strong!! I didn't even have a small bite of Dans hot dog! I was complaining ALL the way home and I think we past every yummy looking restaurant in the Bay Area on the way home! I think the reason I was so hungry today was because I didn't drink enough water. Anyhow for dinner we went out :) But before we did we looked on line to see how many calories a Mongolian BBQ was. I had enough calories for the Mongolian BBQ and it totally hit the spot! I had lots of veggies a little chicken and a very little amount of noodles. YUM!! When we got home I still had some calories left over so I had some strawberry shortcake for dessert. Although today was tough I am happy to say that I stuck to my diet! And tonight I am so glad that I did! Since I already told you what I consumed today I am not going to write it all down again :) I will tell you that my calorie intake today came to 1215 calories! Tomorrow I am planning on drinking more water! Til tomorrow . . . Happy Dieting!

Katie's Story

Well this is going to be exciting and I am excited to begin my blogging and also my weight loss adventure! I'm Katie and am the very proud mother of an adorable little boy! I love being a mommy and I do believe that I have one of the cutest little guys in ALL the universe! Growing up I was a Ballet dancer and therefore I never really had to worry about my weight. I say that loosely because I was always dieting and not eating and dancing. So I was always skinny. Therefore I have never really been a healthy dieter nor have I ever enjoyed exercising because to me Ballet isn't exercise its just fun! I would do Ballet now but there is NO WAY I am ever putting toe shoes on again n0t to mention a leotard and tights :) When Shelley and I discussed doing The Biggest Loser I was excited and nervous as I have in the past 5 years failed at losing weight and working out. However I have hope that this time it just might work as I now have a blog and others watching and I have always been fairly competitive and so here goes nothing! Wish me luck! I sure hope I am a gracious winner :)

UPDATE: I am now a lucky mother of 2 adorable kiddos! My daughter was recently born and it is time for me to get back on the diet wagon. So here we go again!!

Kaisi's Story

Hi, my name is Kaisi Grow. I have never had to write a profile about my weight journey so I am not really sure where to begin... I guess I will just start where everyone does. I enjoy long walks on the beach, but lately it seems they have turned into short winded waddles. I am just kidding...but seriously I have never really been good at dieting or exercising because frankly I never stick to it, I am all talk. So when Shelly & Katie asked me to do the "Biggest Looser" with them I though what a great way to be forced into sticking to something rather than having it stick to me!. I recently had a baby girl that we named Sadie. When I was pregnant I gained roughly 38-39lbs, so you can imagine my surprise when Sadie came out weighing only 7lbs 11oz. My mind immediately went to all the food I chowed down over the last 9 months. Muffin tops are my favorite, but I hadn't taken that "you are what you eat" thing seriously. I knew it was time for a major rebound, but have not had the moral support or peer pressure until now!. December 1st is my deadline and I am hoping to hit my goal of 135lbs! I am exited to take you along the way, so please hang in there with me through my mood swings and bitter days because I know by cutting down on my Diet Coke there are bound to be some!
