Katie Day 23

Today was a tough one! It started out good and I had my usual cheerios and fruit. I was to lazy to wash the berries though so I just had a banana. It was baby playgroup this afternoon and so I got the two of us ready for that. My sister called about 1/2 an hour before I needed to leave so I ran out of time to make myself some lunch. Now I knew I should eat before I left but I didn't. I was pretty good at baby playgroup but by the time we left there it was almost 2 and I was STARVING. James fell asleep in the car and I wanted to let him sleep as he really needed a nap. So I was bad and went to Carls Jr. Yep I know BAD!! However I went there because I knew they had an "eat this not that" menu and on the menu it shows how many calories. So I got a Chicken Sandwich for 470 calories :( I don't think its that horrible cause I still stayed within my calorie range, I just felt yucky because I ate at Carls Jr and I would have felt better had I just gone home and made myself a sandwich. Oh well :( I was good at dinner and had a salad for only 250 and for dessert I thought I was being good as I had a mini pink berry. But I was mistaken cause I had a super sample of their new flavor which is peanut butter. Yes I should have known it was high in calories cause it was WAY GOOD! But I ate it anyway and we calculated it and assumed that just the sample alone came to about 100 calories. So all in all I consumed roughly 1333 calories today. And I have tried so hard to stay at 1200. Except since Saturday I have gone a little over 1200 everyday. And to top it all off today I had a Diet Dr Pepper! It doesn't have any calories I just feel better when I don't drink pop and just stick with water. So tomorrow I AM GETTING BACK ON TRACK! I really haven't fallen off the wagon I just want to be more strict as I ride the wagon :) Anyhow here is what I ate today :

Breakfast : Cheerios, Skim Milk, Banana 250 calories

Lunch : Teriyaki Chicken Sandwich 470 calories

Dinner : Chicken Cobb Salad 250 calories

Snacks : Special K Cracker Chips (20), Pinkberry, snitches throughout the day and play group 310 calories

Exercise : I walked around Dans school and Babies R Us holding James so that has to count for something. Right?

Tomorrow is a new day, so 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!
