Katie Day 56

Happy Birthday to me!! I had such a fun and wonderful day today. Thanks to everyone who helped make today a special day, especially my sweet husband who put together a surprise BBQ for my birthday! I had such a nice day! This morning I woke up to scrambled eggs made with egg beaters and hash browns and Dan counted the calories for me and my breakfast came to 100 calories. I figured we were doing something tonight for my birthday so for lunch I had a protein shake for 120 calories. During church we had a little Primary Party and there were some really yummy looking chocolate chip cookies that everyone was eating and I am so very proud to say that I didn't have a cookie cause I was saving my calories for tonight. I am so glad that I saved my calories because I was correct and Dan had planned a party for me :) So for dinner I had yummy BBQ chicken, chips, artichoke dip, salsa dip, salad, fruit, and a chocolate cupcake with frosting! It was such a fun party and I feel so blessed that we have such good friends that came to celebrate the fact that despite my efforts in stopping time I have turned another year older. I have calculated my calories for today and I have eaten a little over 1200 calories, which makes me pretty proud of myself! Also one of my B-Day surprises was when I stepped on the scale this morning and I have lost more weight! HOORAY!!! What a great Birthday this has been!

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!
