Shelley: Day 18

Photo: This is the Thai Chopped Chicken Salad I get all the time. It's only 200cal INCLUDING the dressing! Yummy!

So there's good news and there's bad news. The good news is I"m doing great! The bad news is after than insane weight loss I've rebounded a touch. I'm waiting until tomorrow to do my official weigh in so I leave the exact numbers until then. I'm wondering just how much is from water retention from that salty delicious meal we had for our anniversary. I seem to be super sensitive to salt and even though I love it I definitely slim down when I keep the sodium to a minimum.

We mostly ran errands today and I didn't get in as much walking as I would have liked. I think next week we'll try to squeeze in a few trips to Happy Hollow to keep us moving.

Today's Food Summary:

Breakfast:

Fiber One Bar (140cal)

Snack:

Banana (40cal)

Lunch:

Chicken Noodle Soup (160cal)

Small Thai Chicken Salad (200cal)

Snack:

Small V8 (30cal)

Dinner:

Chicken Noodle Soup (160cal)

Small Thai Chicken Salad (200cal)

Snack:

Pinkberry (100cal)

BMR CALC: 1700-1330= 370 Deficit (I added 300cal for misc snitches of my little guy's food.)

(For an explanation please see Shelley: Day 1 Post) Also, I updated my BMR from 1760 to 1700. As I lose weight that number will continue to fall.

Until Tomorrow. . .

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!
