Minor setback...Its funny that this happens after three days of not logging into MyFitnessPal or exercising. :( Just goes to show that although I'm doing well with these tools, I'm far from ready to be on my own without them. Plus, I've had a rough couple of weeks, so the stress can't be helping. :(

My First New Weigh-In!

So as with all new paths and start-overs, we all have to start at the very beginning again. I've actually gained weight over my previous start weight from before! My old start weight was 229. So, I decided that I would make 229 my first mini-goal!

I'm just taking a deep breath, and starting over, with more life lessons under my belt, and more support than before. This time I will not only lose the weight, I will never fricking find those pounds again! LOL.

THIS WEEK'S WINNER: BRET!


Although I'm still running behind, I am not losing motivation. I took a page out of Jay's book for this upcoming week and will write "209" in pen on my wrist every morning until next weigh-in day. He is from this season's Biggest Loser and was known for writing his goal weight for the week on his forearm each day in big black marker. It kept him so motivated and focused throughout the competition, that for the finale, he got a tattoo with an encouraging quote on his forearm. 


My goal is to get back to my lightest weigh-in weight for this competition by next week, and now that I'm fully able to jump and run around as usual instead of wearing a stupid ankle brace, Bret- you better watch out!! :P


I would also like to send a big shout-out to the all-female finalists from the Biggest Loser - you all look so great!! :) And congrats, of course, to Olivia! The winner! :)

"BL" Week #7

Okay, so heres how this works since we this competition got sidelined because of finals. First, let me mention that this competition will be 12 weeks, not 8. Second, at the start of our summer, both me and bret weighed ourselves. That number is the bolded number after "previous weight." The other number is our lowest weigh-in for this competition. In addition, it is important to note that our rule concerning percentage lost stays the same. This means we will be going off of the not-bolded number for that, or the pounds lost count either. Furthermore, the weekly rewards have been done away with because bret and i cannot see each other every weekend, which makes most rewards (like back rubs, cooking for each other, etc.) impossible to execute. 


LIZZ (MYZZLYZZ)
Previous Weight: 209 / 217*
Current Weight: 212
Pounds Lost: 0
Percentage Lost: 0%* 


*on biggest loser they go by the lightest previous weight and not necessarily the previous week's weight. so, although my starting weight for the summer was 217, i'm still going off of 209 for the percentages and pounds lost because that was the lower number i logged in for the competition.


BRET
Previous Weight: 285.4 / 287*
Current Weight:  280.0
Pounds Lost: -5.4
Percentage Lost: 0.98%


THIS WEEK'S WINNER: BRET!


I would like to send out a huge congratulations to Bret at this weigh-in because he is now 50 pounds lighter than he started! Congrats baby! You've worked hard the past two years and you really earned it!! :)


As far as my weigh-in goes, I'm just happy I didn't gain anything! Haha, being stuck in a chair for two weeks while healing could have really made me gain weight. I guess I have my willpower to stick to my diet and my mother's healthy cooking to thank for that minus 3 pounds! Haha!

Okay, I'm on the right track again. I was getting worried that I had already hit that dreaded plateau! And for that to happen so early to me in my weight loss journey would be (and is) pretty discouraging. I started this new monitoring program for my diet and exercise, the food & fitness planner on WebMD.com, (click HERE to start your own!). Its really great because it plain and simply spells out what I need to do, and offers a way of tracking all of my calories consumed and burned during exercise. I love it! You'll see a post about it soon, so keep an eye out if you're interested. :)

Congrats bret! :)

New week's reward is a 10 minute foot massage.
