Week 7 results

Week 7 Results:

Tim is in the lead.  Total lbs lost this week of 7 and total % is at 14.26%.  Judy is at 12.35%.  She has an idea of what Tim is projected to lose and what she needs to lose to pull in the lead.  Next Monday is the last and final weigh in for this competition.  There is $$ on the line and Judy and Tim want it bad.  Diane also wants it.  She will have to lose 9-11 lbs this week to capture the title!

Total lbs lost this week as a group:  24.3

Total lbs lost as a group for the whole competition:  133.2

Weekly average lbs lost by team:  19 lbs

We have lost a whole Diane or a whole Jane!!!  Way to go team!!!

Since this is the last week, I have a feeling everyone is going to pull big numbers again.  Some people had 8 week goals.  I think a lot of people are going to hit their goals next week and that really makes me smile.
Judy lost a whopping 5 lbs this week.  There is almost nothing left of her, well except her hair. Her hair is definitely still there!!!  She has surpassed her goal.  She wanted to lose 20 lbs in 8 weeks.  She is currently at 22.  She needs to lose 7 or more lbs to beat Tim.  She is definitely motivated.  We'll see how this week goes. Go Judy!!!

Kim stayed the same this week.  She knows why.  She had a feeling that is what her weigh in was going to show.  Kim's goal was to lose 16 lbs in 8 weeks.  She is only 2 away.  Her goal was very attainable and realistic and I believe she is going to make it!!!!

Look who showed up!!  Tammy, I actually didn't even know if Tammy was still alive.  She came and weighed in and realized she lost a pound!  Good job Tammy!

Jane has her shades on for a reason.. She's ready for the sun and she's very close to being ready for the sun.  She is only 2.5 lbs away from her goal!  Her jeans are loose and she's looking good.  Keep it up Jane!

We have 2 pictures of Diane today.  Her booty is gone.  She is pointing at her booty and letting us know its gone and she's very happy.  She's had to buy smaller jeans.  She is up to running 4 miles a day.  We are very very proud of her.  She is kicking butt, literally!

I lost 1.8 lbs this week for a total of 14.4 lbs lost.  My goal was 16 lbs in 8 weeks.  I think I can make my goal.  I'm pretty stoked to think that I will make it!  My jeans fit different and I think I'm gonna have to go dig out some smaller ones.  Coach, Eric and I did a 5K this weekend and it was a blast.  It was for the Humane Society in town.  When the whistle blew for the race to start all you heard was dogs howling and barking.  It was the funniest thing EVER.

Eric stayed the same.  Again not sure if he really is.  He didn't weigh in front of anyone.  Big J walked/ran a 5K with me and Coach this weekend.  He was feeling it yesterday, and I'm proud of him.  Tonight he starts training for another 5K that is in April.  Wish him luck!!

Cindy's tooth is better and her husband is cooking/baking up a storm.  She said all she did was eat this weekend.  She gained a pound.  I wish all I would gain is a pound if I ate all weekend.  Good job Cindy.  You look great just the way you are.

Angie is the same AGAIN.  Big surprise!! Not really.  But she has gone down multiple pant sizes since being on site.  Just looking at her you can tell she's lost major inches.  Good Job Angie!!! I wish I could maintain a single weight as good as you can.

Tim again lost 7 pounds. He has lost a total of 34.5 pounds.  I really don't have much to say except for UNBELIEVABLE.  Keep it up Tim!

Rosa had her biggest week yet!! She lost 4 lbs.  She has lost a total of 10 lbs.  I am so so proud of her. She is proud of herself too.  The smile on her face this morning just made my heart happy!!!  She is making healthy recipes at night at home for her and the boys!  I have a feeling Abran is going to start seeing a difference very soon!  Keep it up!

Kandace stayed the same.  She has lost a total of 10 pounds.  Her goal was to be in a certain weight range.  If she loses 2 lbs this week, she'll make her 8 week goal.  We know you can do it Kandace!!! Go Go Go!

Week 7 was definitely a success!!!  Everyone is anxious for the final results next week... stay tuned!

We are finally back to Monday Weigh ins!  I think everyone is happy about that.

Total Weight in lbs goal for week 6 was 105.  6 week weigh in for everyone puts us at a total loss of 108.9!!!!  Way to hit the goal TEAM!

Biggest loser by lbs this week:  Tim Griffin

Biggest loser by % this week:  Tim Griffin

Geez Tim, would ya slow down already!!!

Cindy gets surgery tomorrow for a bad tooth. Everyone say a prayer and cross your fingers and toes for her.  A root canal is serious business and like the scariest thing on the face of the earth.  She had medicine finally this weekend, so she ate and ate and ate. She gained .5

I my friends am in dress pants I bought in Colorado that I could not fit in to when I purchased them.  I only lost .2 lbs this week.  I know exactly why.  It might have something to do with Shrimp fondue at Ruby Tuesdays and Cheesecake from the Cheesecake factory not just once but Twice.  I have also stopped tracking my points.. my mom pointed out that that is probably what is wrong,  and as moms usually are, she is right. It is back on today!!

Jane, well besides her looking extra funny is pretty upset about her gain.  She gained .5. She had a fun weekend with her Husband.  It was Justin's 31st Birthday!  Happy Bday Justin!!!  I'm sure she had plenty of beers and I know she had wings at dinner on Friday!  Its OK Jane, we still love you even though you gained weight and are weird looking.

And Angie STAYED the same as usual.  We should just stop weighing her.  Her body must be good at the weight she's as because she consistently stays the same.  Way to go Angie.  I wish I could maintain a weight as well as she can.

Diane lost 2 lbs.  She has lost a total of 11.5.  GOOD JOB DIANE!  We are super excited for her.  According to her scale at home she thought she was down almost 5 lbs.  We might think that she is gaining muscle.  She is definitely smaller though!!!!  She is tiny!  But since she didn't lose 5 lbs I don't get to learn her secret.  DANG IT.

Kim is laughing really really hard!  The reason:  She told me she was up .5.  When I put the numbers in, she was down 1.5.  What a dork!!!  But good job Kim!!!  She is getting into jeans that she hasn't worn for years!  KEEP IT UP!

Judy looks good!  This color is very flattering on her.  She was surprised to lose any weight. We ate and ate and ate on Valentines day, then she went home and had a huge family dinner and it was her Birthday!  HAPPY BDAY JUDY!  We love you!!!

And Tim Griffin lost another whopping 7 lbs.  I'm just stunned.  Everyone is.  I almost started crying because I was laughing so hard.  Tim is down a total of 27.5 lbs and is at 11.36% for total weight lost. Keep it up Stud.

I could not take a good pic of Rosa.  I thought they were good but she hated every single one so she opted for a half body, no face kind of shot.  Whatever works Brownie lover!!!  This was Rosa's best week yet.  She lost 2 lbs.  She has now lost a total of 6 lbs in 6 weeks.  That is excellent!  Every pound lost is a huge achievement!!! 

Kandace stuck to a Twix only diet and cut out the beer!!! haha just kidding, but she did say that she is still losing weight with eating her Twix!  She has lost a total of 10 lbs.  Way to go Kandace!!!

Another week has gone, and it was another success.  Keep it up everyone!!!!

Week 5 weigh in & color run

First off,  We had the Color Run in Jacksonville, Florida on Saturday!  It was beyond Awesome!  My friend AJ even flew in from Wyoming.  Our team name was "Mustaches in Motion".  We had a big & fun team!!!  Below you will see us before and after.  The before pic none of us were smiling.  You would think that it was planned, but we just hadn't figured out how to talk let alone smile at that point for the picture.  The staches fit kind of firm.  Some lasted the whole race with them, and some lasted one picture!  Anyway, it was a lot of fun whether you were wearing a stach or not. Coach even got to join us.  The rules were that no dogs were allowed, but we found that Coach was a big hit.  No one asked us to have her leave. The pic where we aren't smiling, the Color Run likes and thinks its Marvelous.  They have just fb'd me and said it will be a part of their official Jacksonville Color Run album on Facebook!

Week 5 Results:

Biggest loser for week 5 by lbs. - Diane - 3 lbs lost

Biggest loser for week 5 by % - Judy is still in the lead.  Her total % lost is now 9.41%.  She has now pulled a whole % ahead of Tim.  I haven't told him yet.  I'm actually kind of nervous to let him know.

Total weight loss for week 5 as a team:  4.7 lbs.

Total weight loss as a team for the whole competition so far:  96.5

Goal for next week:  Total loss for the team to be at 105 lbs.  That's a big goal!  We can do it!

Jane gained 2 lbs.  She wanted me to let everyone know that it isn't because she isn't watching what she is eating or working out, but she's added weights to her work out.  She really doesn't need to lose anything.  She wants to firm up.  And holy buckets.. check out her guns... Something is working Jane!  Keep it up girl.  (It also might be the time of month for her)  (She also might have wanted me to let you know this so that you know the real reasons behind her gain this week)

Eric stayed the same.  None of us actually saw Eric weigh in.  We really don't think he weighed in.  I think its a cop out.  But ya know, Big J will have to pay for this little white lie next week when he weighs in.  You better keep you fingers crossed Eric Johnson.   You also better take it easy with the MCD's breakfasts.  Jane has spotted you the last several morning with Mcdonalds breakfasts.......

Diane is the Woman.  She lost 3 lbs this week. She is down a total of 9.5 lbs. She was the biggest loser this week!! Good Job Diane!!!!  Her secret to success has yet to be revealed.  She told me if she loses 5 lbs before the next weigh in she'll let me know her secret... But don't get too excited. I can't share it with anyone.  I promised her secret would be safe with me.

Cindy looks way to happy here. She has an absess tooth and isn't feeling well.  And well she gained +.5 but you would never be able to tell by the smile on her face.  Cindy you already look hot, so keep doing what you are doing!!!!

Judy Judy Judy!  Most % lost so far!  She had a 1 lb loss this week.  I think she was happy about this because on Saturday she thought she might be up.  She is down a total of 16 lbs!!!! Judy is making chocolate covered marshmallows for Valentines day tomorrow and I'm making Red velvet cookies or cupcakes... Lord help us!!!

Rosa lost the .5 that she had gained last week. She was pretty pumped.  She is now down a total of 4 lbs.  Her and the boys walked the color run on Saturday. I loved seeing their family together.  They were so happy and so fun to have with at the race.  I was told that Rosa needs to be yelled at, sworn at, and needs to be monitored at all times.  I was gone Mon and Tuesday from work this week and she was sneaking candy from an office and eating pringles..  Rosa.. you better read this, "I know what you do when I'm gone"

Kim finally lost some weight this week. She was so upset that the last couple weeks she hadn't made process.  But her jeans just keep getting bigger!! She lost 2 lbs. this week. That gives her a total of 12.5 lbs lost in 5 weeks.  I'd say that is pretty dang cool.  (I even know that she had a huge mexican meal this weekend)

I lost 1.2 this week.  My total is 12.4 for 5 weeks. I'm happy with my number and the jeans you see me in below are starting to get loose.  When we started I couldn't even button them!!!!  I had Cheesecake factory last night so this loss was a dang miracle!! (Red Velvet Cream Cheese Frosting Cheesecake!)

Kandace stayed the same.  She was pretty bummed.  I bet you can't tell by her thumbs down.  It might have something to do with  the 100 ounce REGULAR dew I caught her drinking last week!!!!!  Yes Kandace, I saw you!!!!  But she is still at a total weight loss of 8 lbs. Now that rocks.

Tim lost again!  He lost 1 lb this week.  He is now down a total of 20.5 lbs in 5 weeks! Tim has added exercise to his daily routine.  We are very proud of him and EVERYBODY is noticing that he is looking good.  As Judy put it... Damn girl!!!  Tim also got good news this week.  He has officially been taken off of 3 diabetes medicines and 2 heart medicines.  And the last medicine he takes, the dose he takes has been cut in half!  All because of his diet and exercise change.  This is probably the best dang news out of this whole competition!  WAY TO GO TIM!!!!!

Travis was a No Show again! 

Angie stayed the same.

I think Tammy has opted out of the competition.

Today Jane, Rosa and Judy brought some healthy snacks... They were all fabulous, except for the green stuff that was wrapped around Rosa's lettuce wraps.  :)

Week 5 was a success!!!!

Week 4 Results:

Total loss for the whole team in 4 weeks:  91.8 lbs

Total loss for the whole team for week 4:  14.1 lbs

Biggest loser by lbs lost at the end of week 4:  Tim Griffin at 19.5 lbs in 4 weeks (that's almost an average of 5 lbs. a week)

I think this is going to get very competitive and going to come down to the very last weigh in!!!

But I also have a couple people to mention that are very important to me:

2. And last but not least my mom.  She lost .8 lbs last week.  She is walking like crazy and doing hand stands like crazy!  I'm proud of you too, and FYI:  you are the best mother and friend!  Thank you for everything.  I know Julie is very happy and thankful to have you help her with Weight Watchers!!!
