The Challenge...

Welcome to our blog! We are a bio-mom (Stephanie) and step-mom (Trisha) who have put our differences aside and are going to join forces and lose the weight we have been struggling with for some time. We have a competitive streak between us, and we are going to turn it around to positive energy and benefit ourselves and our family.



We will be having fun weekly challenges to help keep us motivated as well as weekly weigh ins. The weigh in will be by percentage. (Loss divided by weight before loss = percentage)



We will blog about our experiences, our losses and our gains.

Stephanie here...

I am so excited to start this challenge with Trisha!  Total motivation!  Whoot whoot!
So I weighed in Monday at 194.4 and I did measurements:
        chest - 42
        hips - 47
        waist - 38
       
My first goal is to get into my pre-pregnancy jeans.  I can get them to my thighs but they seem to stop there! And I thought I was fat then!  Holy smokes!  I was crazy!  I just didn't know how good I looked then, now i know!

I am going to go at this 5 pounds at a time and inch by inch.  I have learned to set small attainable goals that I can reach easily to keep the momentum going. 

I have also been keeping a food log becaues I am a snacker.  Maybe if I right down what I eat, I won't eat as horribly as I have? We shall see. I am trying to stay under 1400 calories for now and will bump that down if need be.  Yesterday, I did it!  Today is looking good so far!

I can't believe I am going to say this, but I can't wait for Monday to weigh in!! :)  Game on!
