Latest Weigh in Results

Before I post these results let me preface them with this....
We have done well for soooo long.
Have you ever heard the saying too much of a good thing... or all good things must come to an end... well, this was the week that has made those saying true.

Let's play catch up......

On Jan. 4, 2009 four friends jokingly made a bet. Girls against boys.. who could be the biggest loser... and so the story begins. On Jan 4th our beginning weights were

Denise Tony Marsha Darin
145lb 235lb 163lb 210

everything has been going well.....however.. everyone falls off the wagon at some point. Nothing wrong with falling off the wagon as long as you pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and get back on. And let me say it's much easier to get back on that wagon when you have friends to help you back up.

What am I talking about you ask? Well... I could be good and just post the weight lost to date and not tell you that 3 out of 4 of us has gained weight back since the last weigh in....I could be. And you know... I think I will. ;-)

So here is the latest and greatest results!!!! Pounds lost and percentage loss so far.

Denise currently weighs 135 and has lost 10 lbs. That is 6.9 % of her body weight!
Tony currently weighs 220 and has lost 15 lbs. That is 6.4% of his body weight!
Marsha (that's me) weighs 149 and has lost 14 lbs. That is 8.6% of her body weight!
And Darin currently weighs 194 and has lost 16 lbs. That is 7.7% of his body weight!

Drum roll please..........

That means that if today was the last day GIRLS WIN, GIRLS WIN, GIRLS WIN!!!
But it's not the last day... we still have all of March and will have the final weigh in on April 1st...

Until then.... I'll keep posting weekly (or bi-weekly) what ever I can remember to do. :)

Hmmm... what happened to my blog?

I went to post on my blog today to find that all of my posts are missing. Strange... the music is there.. but no posts. So consider this a test blog... Let's see if it pops up. ;-)

It's been a while... but the progress has continued!!!

I know that it has been a few weeks since I have posted but I am glad to say that we are all still making great progress.
It is amazing what being held accountable will do for you. I am sure that I would have given up weeks ago... but here we are into week FIVE!!!! Wow, I can't believe the results!

Darin and Tony are of course kicking some boo-ty. Darin has reached the 20lb. mark. I am so happy for him... I know he has been working so hard... but I am jealous too. I have only lost 13 lbs. in 5 weeks. I know, 13 lbs. is huge... but I can't see it yet. Not like I can in Darin.. .his face is so much thinner and his uniform is literally falling off of him.

Tony has lost 18 lbs. and Denise has lost 12. That's a grand total of..... Boys - 38lbs vs. Girl - 25 lbs... in FIVE weeks!!!! Between all of us we have lost a small child...

Lets see what week 6 brings! (Hopefully, I will see the 140's this week!!!)
