Beth and Brian - Getting thin for our wedding!

Ready for the Million Pound Match Up to help us change our lives!

Beth - (Indianapolis IN)

I am 28 years old and I am looking to loose around 95 pounds.  I have been told by my doctor that if I don't loose weight I will die. Harsh, I know, but how else was he going to get it across to me. I have tried to loose weight a hundred times before just like everyone else but this time I have to do it. My two children and my fiance (Brian) need me. Also, when I get married this year I WILL NOT BE FAT! I am determined and ready to change my life.  Besides...they don't make 2X or 3X women's Colts Jerseys and I need to support my team. :)

Brian - (Indianapolis IN)

I am 26 years old. Beth and I are engaged to be married & she is my best friend! I love my kids and my family.  Family means the world to me. I am looking to loose about 100 pounds. After I get to that I may decide to loose more we will just have to see.

Stay tuned for an amazing journey! Better yet COME JOIN US!!

Team name and update!

Beth -
So....we have had an entire blog disapear from last week. I don't know where it went but I will try to remember most of it and repost it :)
 
ANYWAY!!! We came up with a team name or rather we came up with 3 of them!  Help us pick which one is the best:
 
The In Love Handles (because we are in love and have love handles lol)
The Flab-U-Less Duo
The Chubby Hubby & Wife to Be
 
Who knows maybe you guys won't like any of them but we do!
 
Our camera is MIA, we had to send it off to get fixed by the company. That is why you havne't seen any weigh in or gym pics lately.  We should have it back this week or next!
 
Brian and I are both still on a plataeu :(  We know if we just keep pushing through it we will make it. It's just frustrating being stuck at the same place even though we are trying so hard in the gym!
 
Well, I guess that is all for now. i will try to go find that other blog and see if i saved it on my computer!

Another weigh in down!

Brian -
 
Well we did it! Another loss for the books, albiet a small one!  I don't care though. I just like watching the numbers go down ;) 
 
I have a question, Why is the urge to pull in McDonalds not lessening AT ALL!  I want a double cheeseburger dang it!  Actually,I want alot of things. I better stop now or it will be even harder not to pull in there on my way to Subway at lunch. Which brings me to the next question, Why in the world are Subway and McDonalds RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER!!!  This isn't fair. I'm trying to be good, I'm on my way to Subway and then it's like they have to tempt me just one more time to fall off the wagon. Do I turn left or do I turn right?  I have litterly turned into McDonalds while having a weak moment and then drove around the parking lot and back over to Subway!  Am I crazy!!!  Enough of that!
 
So, I hope everyone has a great week!  We need to get to the gym more that's for sure. Maybe we'll go tonight. Everyone hang in there!

1 Month Weigh In!

Beth -

 

We are absolutely 100% shocked! Not by this week’s weight loss seeing as it wasn't the greatest but from looking at what we did in only 1 month! This week Brian lost 1.6 pounds and I lost 3 lbs. Over the last month I have lost 18.4 lbs and Brian has lost 20.2 lbs for a team total of 38.6 lbs! To me that is Amazing!  I never would have guessed we could do that. What upsets me though is I know we could have done better. There were things we ate that we shouldn't have but I know we are going to slip up and we just have to watch it.  What does make me happy though is seeing that our BMI's dropped too.  I managed to lower my BMI by 3.3 points and Brian lowered his by 2.7 points!  I'm averaging right over 4.5 lbs per week which would get me to my goal of 160 by my wedding with time to spare! I just have to keep my head in the game and my hands away from my mouth! :)

Day before weigh in!

Beth -
 
Well, today is the day before weigh in! You know what that means...last chance workout!  Of course I'm sure our last chance workout is nothing compared to what Jillian or Bob would put us through, but we will make it hard!  I've gotten in a bad habit and so has Brian of weighing ourselves constantly. I need to stop because it is bringing me down. My weight varies so much day to day or even hour to hour that I get mad and down on myself. I think I need to hide my scale or give it to my neighbor for the week so I won't be tempted. At least hiding my scale isn't as bad as taking the cake out of the trash and then having to shove it down the disposal! LOL  Let's keep out fingers crossed that there is a loss this week!

Day 23 - Happy B-day to my daddy! He's "double nickels" today LOL

Beth -
 

Ok, so I have come to the conclusion that Oatmeal with a little Splenda Brown Sugar is the thing I should be eating every morning! It's is 2 o'clock in the afternoon and I have been so energetic all day long~!

 

Weigh in is tomorrow morning. I am honestly a little worried this week. I haven't done that bad but I definitely had my off moments. I just fall off the wagon so easy! I am proud to announce that I have had a 100% day today though! We are doing our last chance workouts at the gym tonight. I still hurt pretty badly from Monday's workout. The guy at the gym who writes the workouts made mine way to hard and of course I tried to do it all because “you don’t want to short change yourself” (That’s what I kept telling myself) He wrote a workout for a body builder not an obese women! My thighs are killing me but I’m going to push through it.  I have even convinced my best friend Natalie to come with us tonight! She might even join.  It would be great to have someone else with me.

 

OH, I think I have also convinced Brian to try skiing with me this weekend! This should be interesting! LOL I'll keep you posted!

 

I think that is it…I’m so proud of my friends Gayle and Stephanie who were featured on Biggest Loser last night. Gayle was my first “weight loss friend” on myspace a long long time ago. YOU GO GIRLS!
