Week 1 Weigh in

This is the start of week 2 for the Biggest Loser - GREC.  Everyone told me today what their ultimate goal was and why the really wanted to lose weight.   As a whole we lost 36.4 lbs.  This is a great start.  I think everyone is almost more excited for week 2 then we were for week 1.  We are also all aware that if we had a big losing week this week that it will slow down.  Its not healthy to keep the big numbers up week after week.  Healthy weight loss and the recommended weight loss is 1-2 lbs weekly!

I'm just so proud of everyone!!! KEEP IT UP!
Kandace lost 6.5 lbs in her first week!  She was as shocked as the rest of us!  Kandace wants a 6 pack!  Swimsuit season is upon us.  She wants to be sitting in the Florida Keys in her bikini with a 6 pack!

Tori stayed the same.  She was kind of disappointed, but she kind of knew it was coming.  She said she drank lots of water and watched what she ate, but she went out and had a good time on Saturday night.  She swears that is what went wrong.  I agree with her.  She said this week she is going to keep going because she knows how to lose it, she's just gotta stay on track.  Her goal for wanting to lose weight is to be "skinny".  Even if its for a day, she's never been a skinny person, she wants to know how it feels, and turn a few heads.

Tammy gained this week.  We have vouched that if we gain week, we won't show what we gain.  When she first came in I think she expected that the scale wouldn't be down.  She said she's going to walk more and that Judy is a lot of help and that she'll utilize Judy more.  Her goal is to fit into all of her old clothes!

Judy lost 5.5!!! Judy rocked this week.  She wanted to lose more, but 5.5 is an awesome number.  Her goal is to be able to feel good about herself and feel good about how she looks also.  We already think she looks good, but its a great goal! 

Kim lost 5 lbs.  She had an awesome week!  She is really sore from her workouts but she says its well worth it.  The reason she wants to lose weight is so she can be a really cool rockstar kind of retired person.  She doesn't want to be shuffling around with a walker at the age of 60!

Angie gained a little bit this week.  But since she started with Fagen (almost a year ago) she has lost 40 lbs!  She said she just needs to get on track.  But with the 40 lbs she has lost already her Diabetes numbers are looking better and she feels much better.  She makes all of us smile!  Her goal for losing weight is to feel better, and kick the diabetes all together.  WE think that is a great goal!

Diane lost 1.5!  That is a great start and she'll keep chugging along. She lost that weight even with her son visiting.  I think that is a win just in itself!  Her goal is to bea healthy and feel good about herself! 

Tim lost a whopping 8 lbs.  He feels pretty good about it too.  We had a long talk this morning about how amazing it is that in just week you can see how much food we were consuming to what we ate in the last week.  About how much we were all over consuming.  He discovered Trader Joe's this weekend.  He said there was pro's and con's on the food!  Tim is going to keep doing what he's doing.  He even had a few chocolate whoppers last week and still did great! Tims goal for losing weight is that he wants to lose a total of 50 lbs and wants to lose it before his trip to China.  I believe they go this fall.  His goal is totally do-able!

Cindy gained this week. Not much, but she gained.  As you can tell from the look on her face, she wasn't very happy.  But she did admit she had a few brewha's over the weekend.  She wasn't all that surprised by her gain, but she's back on the wagon, and we talked about her walking.  She is going to walk walk walk! She wants to lose weight so she can feel healthy, look better and not be so jiggly!!

I had a pretty good week, but I always have a pretty good week with my first week back at WW.  I followed the plan to a T and walked every single day.  My goal overall is to be healthy and look healthy.  I have so much clothes I can't fit in and I want to get into them.  My ultimate goal is to be at a healthy weight and start a family!!!

Jane lost 1.8 lbs!  Jane also ran at the beach this weekend and rode her bike with her daughter!  She said it was a great workout. We are all jealous that she got to run at the beach. She wanted to lose more this week, but look at her, she is already small.  I think her goal is to be smaller than a small person!  But really her goal is to go from a Keg to a 6 pack in her stomach area.  She is ready for swimsuit season!

Travis lost .5.  He wanted more, but at least it is a loss.  His ultimate goal is to "bring sexy back!!" 

Rosa started a few days after us, but look she still lost 2 lbs!  She also joined Planet Fitness with her two sons.  I am so proud of her!!   She is seeing progress and she is totally modivated!  She is also walking a 5K in February!  GO ROSA!!!  Her ultimate goal is to be healthy for her family and I think she's on the right track!!!

Eric, Well eric lost 6.2 lbs!!! Eric said his weight loss strategy was a secret.  I believe that it still is, but he spilled the beans, that cutting out late night snacks and taking Coach for a walk helped him lose his weight this week.  He also watched his portions big time.  His ultimate goal is to look as good as his wife does in a swimsuit!!! GO ERIC!
