Katie Day 18

Wow I can't believe we have been dieting for 18 days! It feels so good! I feel like my confidence is increasing everyday because I am in control of what I eat. I feel so good about myself that tomorrow I am even going to go get a very much needed haircut! I have put off a haircut during the past few months cause I haven't wanted to sit in front of a mirror looking at my reflexion for over an hour :) Today was a busy day but a fun one. Daddy came home early from school for lunch so we went out! I had 2 small chicken tacos and they were so yummy! I hate to admit it and I wasn't going to fess up but since I am trying to be brutally honest in this blog I will tell the truth. . . For a snack I had pink berry YUMMO! But here is the bad part I also had pink berry for dessert tonight :( Although I had enough calories to do it I feel like I over ate my sugar for the day! Oh well it sure tasted good and we had such good company :) I also didn't exercise today. Now I know I don't exercise all the time but I usually try to walk around a lot or go swimming or do something that involves me moving a bit. However today I did walk around Target and I carried my little guy around Daddy's school instead of pushing him in a stroller. That counts for something right? Tomorrow is a new day and so perhaps we will go walking somewhere. As long as it doesn't ruin my new cute hairdo :) Here are my stats for today :

Breakfast : (Sorta my usual except I didn't have any fruit) Cheerios and Skim Milk 193 calories

Lunch : Chicken Tacos 440 calories

Dinner : 1/2 Turkey Sandwich and 1/2 Chicken Cobb Salad 380 calories

Snack : Pinkberry twice :) 200 calories

P.S. I forgot to mention that before we went to dinner I looked up Panera on line and tweaked my Sandwich and Salad so that I could have enough calories for dessert. I love that you can tweak anything from Panera to make it fit your diet. Its AWESOME!

P.S.S. or is it P.P.S. anyhow - I have also noticed during this diet that although I love to eat out Dan and I have eaten in so much more! I am enjoying making meals in and also saving money at the same time. I know this comes out of nowhere since I ate out twice today, but sometimes I just want to go out and get out of the house :)

Until 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!
