back to the gym

My left leg is on the mend - karate injury. I was unable to workout last week, but I hope to hit the gym tomorrow.
I screwed up last week - ate too much and have been drinking soda.
Motivation: my kids and my health.

5k

hey this is Kyle I just posted below. i have a gps watch that would easily get a course where we could save money and run for free. it is still fun to enter a 5k and compete to see how you are improving. plus there is alot of cool experiances you can have at different 5ks. my favorite is the sandy city midnight 5k in august. this race starts on friday night at midnight. it was a blast. people are crazy.

Fattison's Plan

Abby hates that nickname I've given myself; I've written a whole jingle around it. I can sing it for you sometime.

I've been sitting around 220 lbs. since the honeymoon. My earlier plan of diet drinks and walking everywhere didn't help bring that down. My goal is to be 180-190. My new plan is going well so far: minimum intake of sugared drinks, working out, and, most importantly, smaller portions. I found it was a lot easier than I expected to cut my meals in half.

Eddie

Hello

i am starting the new year at a record high of 227 lbs. i am not sure what my BMI is, but i know i should be around 165 or so. My plan is to continue an exersize program i started on mnday. i also want to run 10 5k's this year and 1 10k. this is the year that i have time to make a chance for better health, because health is what keeps us here longer together.

Kyle

My fatass goal for 2011.

My goal is to be at 220 lbs for 2011.
200 lbs is my long term goal. Pants size 38.
BOOOOOYAAAAAH?
I have decreased my portion sizes and Heather is feeding me more veggies and fruits (actually, they were always offered, but I didn't partake of them).

Ladies......heres my Mercedes.

As Eddie slapped his stomach this weekend reciting Tracey Morgan I couldn't help but laugh.. I am sure he did it only in attempt to get the laughs.....

But it also made me think of my stomach. Being taller I don't look heavy and never really have. But we see ourselves differently than other people see us. With that I see a great opportunity to help out family while helping myself.

This morning Jan 3rd my weight was 250. According to the BMI index I should be 210 for my weight. My goal is to attain that weight and maintain that weight consistency over the next year and years. Prior to Holly and I getting married we went on a diet.

The diet helped me see the benefits of eating smartly. By cutting down on my intake and eating smaller portions I lost 20 pounds.

So today......eating smartly are the words of the day. Hello apples!!!!

James

Eddie's plan

I weighed myself at two different intervals - 255 lbs and 263 lbs.
I'm going with 263 lbs.
According to the BMI index, I'm obese. 
I should be 170 lbs. I would look like a crackhead.
My goal is to lose 15 lbs by March 1st.
I'm aiming for about 2 lbs a week.
My plan is to decrease my calorie intake and workout 5 days a week.
I am going to give up soda in 5 days.
Motivation: for my family.
What's your plan, folks?

Welcome

We have created a gmail account for email and Blogger abilities.

You can access the blog from the gmail account.

We will get people to honestly post their starting weight and over the next year we will post weekly updates on gains and losses.

We will also  post information for 5k run/walks throughout the year as a family.

The winner next year will be awarded an undetermined prize that may or may not consist of a night out, stay at the Anniversary Inn, maybe even cash money. 

Rules or albeit conditions will need to be set.  No one wants to have their progress made fun of or someone to be made to feel bad that they are or are not doing as well as someone else.  A system that will be fair to those that maybe do not have that much weight to shed.  A body fat percentage loss or something along those lines. 

This is a family endeavor and we should conduct ourselves as such.  Our encouragement and helpfulness towards others will help us all succeed.

Please post your information to the blog that has been hidden and will only allow us that know the password and username to access it.

If you find that someone else does not have the information please send it to them so that as many people as possible can be involved.

If you look at the Blog and find that you can make it more appealling please do so.

James and Eddie and everyone else.    

The begginning

Today we have decided to give help and support to one another in our concentrated effort to live a healthier lifestyle that we can embrace and share with our kids.

We will be having a contest to track our weight loss over the next year.  Those who are interested and would like to join, make your intentions know here.

James, Holly, Eddie are in.  Who else is in?
