We first met working at Dean Medical Center in the laboratory. We were instantly friends because of our sense of humors. We found out later that we were soul mates because of our struggle with our family histories as well as our weight issues. Our goals are these to acheive. Susan -To feel better in my own skin, and or a swimsuit. -To be a healthier role model for my son. -To let the sexy passionate woman that I know I am out. -To live a longer healthier life with diabetes. -To do the active things I see other people doing. Lorrie -Become healthier -Fit into my skinny jeans -become a role model for my daughter and my niece -be able to be proud of the way I look in a Swimsuit -be able to be eye candy for my husband as he is for me. -be able to climb a flight of stairs and not be out of breath We are going to achieve our goals but motivating each other, by giving support to each other and pretending we are each others Jullian. We each have a goal weight loss of about 70 lbs and total weight loss for a team would be 140lbs also known as a whole spice girl=) We would love to win this chance to thank the people who have motivated us enough to take the challenge and actually get up and get moving and that would be the staff of Biggest loser, Bob, Jullian and Kim. we would also like to make this our goal to teach our children who have already life hurdles to overcome. Lorrie's Daughter has Down Syndrome and is predetermined to be overweight. She would love to make sure her daughter is the healthiest she can be and look up to her mother and be proud. Please MSN and Biggest Loser help us win and achieve our Goals. Thank you!

Hi all

So the competion is coming close to the end and I realized I probably was not a big contender. I still feel I am doing much better than I would have ever done if this contest was not the thing that motivated me. I really appreciate the get up and go attitude that is has given me. I already have more energy then I ever did before.
I want to wish all of you every bite of luck on contining luck on your weight lose.
Thank you america!

inches

Hello all man it has been awhile since I have been on I thought it was just like a couple of days ago.
So I am really really excited I took my measurements and I lost an inch on each arm and 1 3/4 inches on my waist which is totally exciting!!! I am everyday totally loving going to the gym it makes me feel really good it is not as much of a chore as I thought it was. I actually find my self making excuses to not do other things so I can go to the Gym.
I still have not seen alot of weight gone yet I have like I said seen inches!!!
I really appreciate the support I have been getting from several frineds and my husband he has encouraged me from the begining and on a daily basis says how proud he is.
That is all for now keep up the good work all!!!

The upper climb is still at hand...

 
 
I found out this week that I get to move on to insulin for my diabetis. I have been diabetic for seventeen years but, have controlled it with oral medication. I suppose it's inevetable that I would come to this stage in the game of life. After I was done feeling sorry for myself I realized it's just another reason to keep going to the gym and make more of a difference in myself. I need to look at it as a motivating tool rather than a life sentence. So in a funny, screwy kind of way it's a blessing that it has made me want to get off my butt and do more. So I will say thank you God and I trust your wisdom in all things. Even the ones that are harder to understand. lol
 
I feel the same as Lorrie about the pounds not coming off. It's frustrating and discouraging to a point but, it feels good to put on jeans that were a little too snug before. So I guess I will take progress where I came get it. lol
 
 
thanks for checking in and God bless,
 
Susan

man this is horrible

So coming back after a week of vacation then hitting the gym with Susan was torture. I really appreciate susan and her knowledge of what muscles to work and what to do and how. She is really mean though she wouldn't let me slack first day back at the gym and is making sure I do certain muscle groups on days we go to the gym by ourselves. While I was watching Biggest Loser last night I couldn't help but become jealous. I look at these contestants and keep thing they are lossing weight so fast and I am working out alot and not losing anything weight wise but I must be losing inches because certain things fit better, HOWEVER it does get very discouraging when the numbers don't follow with the work you are doing. Well hopefully I will start to lose the numbers soon, I refuse to give up!!!!
Thanks Lorrie

i AM BACK

I am back and I couldn't have had a nicer week for a wedding. I was in Orlando Florida while the rest of Wisconin froze under snow.
I was so proud of myself. I went through an entire week and Ate healthy choices and I must had lost some weight my jeans are starting to get looser. Susan and I were talking prior to my trip on how we were getting discouraged because the pounds were not just melting away like everyone else but we are loosing inches which I am very very happy about!! It is a start to a whole new begining.
so long for the moment!!
