This picture of Carolina makes me laugh out loud.  She got on the scale, did a huge gasp and just started screaming.  I knew she had gained weight and I hadn't even seen the number yet! She gained 2.6 and for round 2 she is up a total of 2.8!

Diane is up 2.4 since round 2 started.  She is worried, but I'm not.  I wish I could just relax for 6 weeks and only gain 2.4.  She looks great and should have no worries.

Lisa has never been pictured.  She doesn't want anything to do with the blog, but this picture is too funny not to share!

Judy (AKA Redneck)  gained this week. She went home!  I would gain if I went home too!

Rosa gained 1.6.  She is still down though overall.  Total loss for round 2 is .4.  Total loss since January is 7.4.  THAT IS BETTER THAN NOTHING ROSA!

I am down 2.6 for week 6.  I am down a total for 10.8.  When we moved here I was buying XL swimsuits at Target and this weekend I bought a Medium from Target!  Super pumped!!!!

Sarah lost another pound.  She is down a total of 9.6.  She has also hit her goal!  She wanted to be less than 125 and she is 124.6!  GO SARAH!  You are super skinny and looking FABULOUS!

Eric had a rough weekend.  It took him 5 hours to get to the beach, they didn't have the restaurant he wanted in Daytona, then I made him mow the lawn, fix the toilet seat, the sliding door and clean his office.  He said he gained because he is stressed out........

Cody gained .6 but is down a total of 11.8 for round 2.  He's going to the Twin Cities next weekend, so he is fully preparing himself for another gain next week.  I bet the lucky guy will come back and will have lost weight.

Cindy stayed the same. No surprise there!

Kim gained .2.  She expected it, but she is still down a total of 8.6 for round 2.  Kim has been sick for more than a week.  We all want her to feel better soon!  We miss her spunk!

Kandace gained 3 lbs.  Can you tell by the pic that she is super upset.  She said she even good.  She said this week its back to burgers and beer for her, and watch she'll lose.. with her luck she probably will.

Tim lost 2.6 this week.  That brings his total to 14.6 for round 2.  Tim has also met a goal!  He is officially down 50 lbs.  To be exact he is down 51.6... THAT IS A HUGE ACCOMPLISHMENT.  GOOD JOB TIM!

Kelly lost .6 this week.  He is down a total of 9.6.  He's upset with that total, but if you ask me its GREAT.  He would also like to be called Beefcake from here on out.  I think we can accomplish that.

I originally thought I only had one shout out his week, but I have multiple.  Since we started the biggest loser, tons of people from facebook and work have been supportive and excited for us.  A lot of people have sent personal messages of encouragement or them telling me that we are motivating them to get off their couches.  We don't think we are doing anything special, we just think we are doing what friends do for each other, which is support each other and want the best for them....  So below is a short list of  people that have gotten off the couch and started watching what they are putting in their mouths!

Jaboa (Rosa's neice and Mary Janes daughter) lost 2 lbs this week.  Jane is working with her at home with riding her bike and running!  She has already improved her time on her mile!  I can't wait to go for a run with Jaboa and Jane!  Keep it up Jaboa!!!! You are doing great!

Laura my seester... she started working out last week!  She is gonna stick to it and run the Color Run in July with me!!!!! CAN'T WAIT.

Jen Zieske also started Couch to 5K yesterday.  She is also going to run the Color Run in July!!!!

My brother Tom says he can run a mile in 8.5 minutes.  No big deal!  Good job bud!

Jo my sister is in pants that she hasn't worn in years!!!  THAT IS EXCITING.

and last but not least:

Julie my sister started Weight Watchers at the beginning of the year  - She lost 3.2 lbs just this week, for a total of 19 lbs!!!!  I am so proud of her!

I'm proud of every one that is participating here on site and the ones who have joined from a far! 

HAVE A GREAT WEEK!

Week 5 Round 2 Results

Week 5 Round 2 Results!

Biggest loser by % for week 5:  Sarah  6.41%
Biggest loser by lbs for week 5:  Lisa.  She is not pictured but lost a whopping 7.6 lbs!!!
Total weight lost by group at the end of week 5:  71.2
Total weight lost week 5:  12.8 lbs

Leaders at the end of week 5:  1.  Sarah 2.  Tim  3.  Cody  (Kim is super close to Cody)

 
Week 5 was another good week.  Lots of challenges for lots of people.  Lots of changes for a lot of people.  Work is super busy.  I keep saying that, but it is, and its affecting all of us!  For week 6 some of us have added exercise to our plan, some of us are going to back off, some of us spent $400 bucks at the vitamin store, and some of us are just have it in our heads that we are going to kick some BOOTY!


Judy gained .8.  Total for this round she is up .2. She is being really hard on herself.  She's working out and eating healthy so maybe she's at a good weight!!!  Judy, keep your chin up, whether you are skinny, fat, ugly, cute or sweet WE ALL LOVE YOU!!!  And your humor and your BIG HEART!

Tammy gained 1.6 this week.  But overall she is still down 1.4. I told her anything lost is better than a gain!

Kim lost again!!!!  She is down 1.8 for this week, for a total of 8.8 lbs for round 2.  She is almost to 30 lbs total since January.  She actually is down 30 lbs on her scale at home since she started.  Good JOB KIM!  KEEP IT UP!!!!

Sarah is only .6 lbs away from her goal.  She is kicking butt.  She went to the gym over the weekend, she has a hot haircut, a cute puppy and a belt that is way too big.  Sarah, things are looking up for you... and don't forget, YOU ARE IN THE LEAD!!!!

Kandace said her pictures are boring and they look the same every week.  Kind of like her weight.  She is lucky if you ask me... never gaining after eating and drinking on the weekend.  Maybe she'll have a loss next week and we'll get to see her face!

Big J also stayed the same.  We should have done a photo op like we did for Kandace... NAH.. We love to see him smiling!!!!  Eric bought an arm band for his ipod and headphones this weekend.  I have yet to see them in use, but he promised that they will be soon.

Tim lost 1.6.  That brings his total to 12 lbs for this round.  His goal was to lose 16.  He's almost there.  He'll make it there before this round is up.  He is also 1 lb away from a 50 lb loss since the beginning of round 1.  He is very persistent with making it to the gym.  We are proud of him.  We also have been tasked with watching how he sits at his desk and how much he slouches! I can't wait to ding him on his posture!!!

Rosa lost .6.  She has lost a total of 2 lbs for this round!  I really wish she would get back in the gym or go for a nightly walk!  Its been so nice out..  Gotta take advantage of living in sunny Florida!!!  Keep eating good Rosa, and don't accept cookies and Peanut Butter snickers from your neighbor...


Cindy lost for the 3rd week in a row!  It is a miracle!  She has the gene we all want too, staying the same on multiple weeks.  She got a hair cut and she loves it.  You can tell by the smile on her face that she is feeling pretty good.  If I weighed what Cindy did, I'd have a huge smile on my face too!


I lost .6.  I have lost a total of 8 lbs. for this round.  I have hit my goal of 25 lbs for round 1 and 2.  The weight isnt coming off like I'd like, so this week, I'm gonna run a couple times, but mostly walk the dog and do some stretching and strength training.  I still want to lose 10-15 more lbs and if I run its not gonna come off as fast, although I am seeing a big change in how my clothes fit.  I'm torn!  We'll see how the week goes!!!  And Note:  I officially ran my 1st ever full 5K on Saturday.  I've walked a ton of them, but Coach and I ran last Saturday and it felt really good.  I've been challenged to do a 10K in  2 weeks, but I don't think I'm ready quite yet.


Kelly.. Well Kelly is pissed.   He didn't lose any weight.  He has stayed the same for 2 weeks.  He said that is about to change.  He has a plan and said he's gonna blow us all out of the water next week.  We are all giving you high fives Kelly!

Cody lost 3 lbs this week for a total of 13 pounds.  This put him almost into the top 3 for % lost, but not quite.  If he has another week like this week, I guarantee he'll be one of the leaders in this competition.

Happy snowy April to MN, CO and Wyoming.  If it makes any of you feel any better, it has been on the cool side here.  About 30-40's at night and 70-80's during the day.  We've got it rough too!  Have a good week!

Top Competitors for round 2 at the end of week 4:  1.  Sarah,  2. Tim,  3.  Amy   & Cody and Kim  are neck and neck and very very close to being in the top 3.
I lost .2 lbs.  I was upset until Kim mentioned how my butt looked in my pants  (pants I haven't worn in 3 years)  So I'm OK now!  I did not get to my 25 lbs. like I wanted to this week, so hopefully next week.

Kandace lost a pound!  She is down a total of 4 pounds in round 2.  That's a pound a week.  Nice, easy and healthy!

Miss Judy gained this week.  She is starting HCG today. She will get right back in there. She is 16 pounds from her goal weight.

Kim lost 1.6 this week.  She is down a total of 7 lbs for round 2.  She did hit her 25 lbs for this week.  She is down a total of 26 lbs since we started round 1.  So proud of you KIM. Keep it up!

Rosa was busy as hell today but she still made time to weigh in.  She gained .2.  But overall she is down 1.8 since the start of round 2.

Cindy lost 1.6!!! She is down 1.8 lbs.  She is trugging along and doing good!

Tim gained 2.2.  But he said he was OK with that.  He said he still looks like a different person from when we started and he is right on.  His total weight loss for round 2 is 10.4 lbs.

Eric lost .4.  He is down a total of 1 lb since round 2.  He's still 19 away from his 20 lb goal.  He got a hair cut and shaved, I'm sure that helped with his weight loss this week.  

Sarah is in the lead!  GO SARAH!!!  She was down 1.2 this week and is down a total of 8 lbs for round 2.  She is not far from her goal at all.  She could get there next week!  Keep it up Sarah, you are looking FABULOUS!

Cody never smiles!  My goal is to get him to smile next week.  He's down 10 lbs total for round 2.  He lost 2 lbs this week.  He can't keep his pants up.

Kelly is down 9 lbs total.  He stayed the same this week.  There is nothing wrong with having a "stay the same" week. It happens Kelly, don't beat yourself up.  He ran 2 miles yesterday, that is he should be focusing his energy on!  Good job!!!!!

Pray for us as the weather is getting hotter, our work days are getting longer and summer cocktails are right around the corner!!! These three things could drive some of our caloric intake UP.  Wish us luck for week 5!

This weekend while looking for "help" on helping my shin splints, I found a few posts that were very appropriate to our Biggest Loser competition.

This saying is awesome.  I never thought of "fat" this way, but will be from here on out!

It has always been my goal to not have to "tuck" my stomach into my jeans!  I know I'm not the only one with this goal.  Even Kelly sits down at our daily meetings and tucks his stomach!  If this post does anything; it will make you laugh and think of yourself!!!

I know having new music and fun music motivates me to get out and run and walk!  Load up your Ipods people and jam away!!!

Cindy finally lost!!! She lost .2!

Judy stayed the same!  She is down a total of 2.6 for round 2!

Diane started running again, but she said if she wants ice cream, she's gonna eat it.  I don't blame you one bit Diane!  She lost .6 this week.

Tammy gained this week.  But overall she is down 4.6 for round 2.  Keep it up Tammy.  One bad week isn't the end of the world!  You are still down overall!!!!

Kim is down 3.6 this week for a total of 5.4 for round 2.  She is very close to losing 25 lbs since January!  She WILL HIT HER GOAL BY MONDAY!!!!

Kandace gained a lb this week.  She is still down a total of 3 lbs. though.  We know her sign is upside down!  She was being a goof.

Carolina is up this week and actually up overall, but I watch this woman every week at work and she is super super super active.  She also did a 5K this weekend!  She said she had a blast!


Big J lost a pound this week. He is down .6 overall for round 2.  He did confess though that he already had McDonalds by the time weigh in rolled around this morning and also admitted that a Red Robin burger would sound really good for dinner tonight!!!  Ha ha Johnson.

Kelly has a super long neck here.  This shirt accents his neck nicely!  Kelly lost a pound this week.  He is down 9 lbs and is in 3rd place for most % lost.  Kelly ran yesterday and signed up with "map my run" and is determined to get in shape!  Go Kelly!

I lost 3.4 lbs this week for a total of 7.4 lbs for round 2.  I am close to 25 lbs since January.  I will be down 25 lbs come Monday!  Wish me luck.

Rosa is down a pound.  She is down a total of 1.2 since we started round 2.  Rosa also did her 3rd 5K since she moved to Florida.  GO ROSA!  She did the Color me Rad 5K in Jacksonville on Saturday. She said it was a blast. She also said it was challenging and the atmosphere is just what she needed.  I am very proud of you ROSA for getting out and doing it!!!

Thank goodness Easter is over... This is one of the last devil peanut butter snickers left in my office......

Moes is another devil item.  Kelly said he visits this place weekly, but if you eat smart you can still lose weight... I heard a rumor of another competitor eating here Friday night.. I am not going to tell on that person, they know who they are!!!!!


And don't forget about April!  She came in later than everyone!  She lost .4 this week.  She said over the last few weeks she has focused on too many things.  She was making all sorts of changes and it wasn't working.  Now she said, she is going to focus on 1 thing at a time. I think that's a great plan April!  Keep it up!  You are looking good.
Wish us luck in week 4!  Have a good week yourselves!
