Katie Day 30

What a great day!! I have some great news . . . For the 1st time in a very long time I weigh less then my husband!! Yes thats right I now weigh LESS! HIP HIP HOORAY!!! I feel sooooo good! For anyone out there reading this and feeling discouraged about dieting let me tell you COUNTING CALORIES IS THE WAY TO GO! It is super easy with myfitnesspal and I still can't get over how much I can eat while dieting. In fact I don't really feel like Im on a diet I just feel like I am making better choices on what I eat.

Today for lunch I went to In n Out and had a hamburger protein style (so no bun) and I asked them to not put on the spread. I just had grilled onions and ketchup and mustard. It was good and only 240 calories. Dinner was DELICIOUS we had grilled zucchini, grilled pineapple, chicken burgers (no bun), and salad. I was super satisfied and full and it was a lot of food and only 392 calories. A few minutes ago I thought hot chocolate sounded good. So I had some and it was GREAT! I used the Nestle fat free cocoa thats 20 calories for 2 Tbs. I like chocolate as we all know so I put in 3 Tbs then I put in 1 Tbs of marshmallow cream and 2 Tbs of light whipped cream (the kind you spray). It all came to 57 calories and totally hit the spot! I think the major thing that I am learning while on this diet is that I can still eat great but now I am so much smarter about what I consume. I am NEVER going back to how I used to eat! Here's what I ate today :

Breakfast : Cheerios, Skim Milk, 1/2 Banana 203 calories

Lunch: In N Out Protein Style Hamburger 240 calories

Dinner : Chicken Burger, Salad, Zucchini, Pineapple 392 calories

Snacks : Fiber One Brownie, Chocolate Cream Cake (weight watchers and so good), Hot Chocolate 237 calories

Again I just want to say that if you are discouraged about dieting just start counting calories. Believe me I have never liked the idea of a diet and have never done it right until now. This is the way to go! 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!
