For this last entry for Gainesville, we did before and after pics!  Some of these photo's will BLOW you away!

Cody didn't compete in Round 1 officially but had lost weight previously to joining in Round 2.  I wish we had a picture of him in January vs. Now.  But for round 2 he lost a total of 12.8 lbs!

Over all Rosa stayed exactly the same all through out Round 2.  I wish I could do that!!!  She lost 7 lbs the first round and has kept that off.  Good job ROSA!

Kelly had fun doing the competition.  It also really hit home that losing weight is a lot of work and it is hard!  He lost a total of 9 lbs for Round 2.  That is more than a pound a week.  Good Job Kelly!  At first you might not think that this "before" picture is Kelly, but look at him a little closer, it definitely resembles him!

Here is SARAH our Winner!!!!!  She lost a whopping 11.8 lbs in round 2.  No one thought she even had that to lose, but she lost it!  She looks fantastic and look at the pics, she is just so happy!!!! Good Job SARAH!

And another photo of Sarah our Winner!!!!!  I think she wins a total of $220 bucks.  I need to re-count it but that's a good chunk of change!

Eric lost .4 lbs for round 2. What his sign doesn't say, is that he lost 12.6 lbs in round 1 so he is down a total of 13 pounds since the new year!  He has gone from 2 sandwiches at lunch down to 1.  He has started eating baked chips and apples instead of doritos and has switched from regular pop to diet and lots of water.  I have seen changes in my hubby and I'm proud of him!!!!  Keep it up Big J!!!  Jane says with all the walking you are doing, those calf muscles of yours are gonna be huge!!!

Miss Judy lost a total of 3.8 lbs in the 2nd round.  She is down a total of 17 pounds since January.  Look at the before and after pics.. you can definitely tell she is down some major LBS!  She even sported a bikini this weekend at the pool, and girl... you looked HOTT!

Tim is our biggest loser pounds wise.  He set out to lose weight and he did it.  Not only did he lose weight, but he started a whole new healthy lifestyle, started working out and eliminated a lot of medicine he was taking.  It actually brings tears to my eyes when I think about how well Tim did.  He has been in my life a long time and it makes me so happy to know that he is that much healthier and is going to be around for that much longer!!!  Tim is down 17.6 for round 2.  He is down a total of 54.6 lbs since the start of this!  Keep it up Tim.

Kim is down 9.8 lbs for round 2. She is down a total of 28.8 lbs since January!  Kim is dedicated, she has stuck to her guns and you can see totally where she is slimming down.  Her before picture is hilarious, and makes me laugh every time I see it.  She was imitating the biggest loser pics and she hits it to a tee!  I am so proud of Kim!!!! Keep it up!

Here I am!  I promised some of my friends I'd do a side pic.  To the left is the heaviest I have ever been.  The middle pic is me today and the side pic is from yesterday. I am by no means the lightest I've ever been, but I do feel the best I've felt since High School.  I'm healthy, I'm active and I'm eating smart.  I had been in talks with my doctor in December to have my thyroid removed and talking about reasons why I couldn't carry a baby full term.  I am happy to report that my meds have dropped to nearly half the amount of what I was taking and the lowest they have ever been!!!!!!!  I can say out loud to the whole world, that this chick is ready to start a family!  I am down a total of 32.8 lbs since Xmas!  I think the best part of all of this is the smile Big J had on his face when I gave him this news last week.  LOVE THAT GUY!

Cindy is exactly the same all through round 2.  She lost 3 lbs in round 1 so she is down a total of 3 pounds since the beginning of the year.  She looks good with or with out that three pounds!  Her body must like her at her weight for how consistent it stays.  This woman here has had a lot of ups and downs and continues to smile at work!!  Keep being happy Cindy!!

Miss Kandace lost a total of 9 lbs for round 2.  She is down a total of of 19 lbs since January.  She has gone down 3 pants size and is looking mighty fine!  She is feeling good about her weight loss and she has every right too!  Keep it up Kandace!!!!

The scales are going to stay in the office for as long as I'm in Florida.  Everyone is welcome to weigh in every week if that keeps you on track!!!

Have a good week!!! And good job Team FAGEN!!!!

Tim lost another pound.  That puts him at 15.6 lbs for round 2.  He has the highest lbs lost in round 2.  His total lbs lost since January are 52.6 lbs!  One of his stories this week was that he has been so used to buying XL shirts for as long as he can remember.  He was ready to size up to XXL before we started this in January, and then Sunday at Gander Mountain, he found that some of the Larges he was trying on were too big.  That has got to be a great feeling! WAY TO GO TIM!

And officially since Round 1 she is down 28.8 lbs!  Kim is consistent with her healthy eating and working out and she is motivated!  I am super proud of KIM!  I know after Round 2 ends, she isn't done! Keep it up.

Kandace had a huge week.  She lost 6 lbs.  That brings her total for round 2 to 7lbs lost.  She has lost a total of 17 lbs since the start of round 1.  That is fantastic!  I was looking at Kandace in the safety meeting this morning, and her clothes are noticeably loose! GOOD JOB KANDACE!

Rosa made me pose like this!  I am down 3 lbs this week for a total of 13.8 lbs for round 2.  This puts me at a total loss of  28.4 since the start of round 1.  I am down 32 since Christmas, and I'm gonna admit... I feel better than I have in years.  New goal is to get my mom and sisters to run the color run in July in Virginia, MN.

Sarah Sarah Sarah!  She is down 2.2 lbs this week!  That makes for a total of 11.8 for this round.  I don't know the whole amount she is down since round 1 because she didn't participate officially, but I believe its almost 20 lbs!  She looks fantastic and is going to feel great on her trip to China!  I can't wait to see pics of her and Tim looking healthy on their trip.

A friend of mine from Wyoming has this on her facebook page.  She runs 16 or more miles a day.  I notice that every time I run, I think of her, and I don't even know her that well, but she is always supportive and positive on Facebook.  I am always worried about what I look like when I'm running or who's looking at me but I don't care anymore.  At least I am out and doing something.  And if a marathon runner can post this, it gives us all motivation.  I am talking about Lynn Wyllie.

Kelly came a day late to the game.  OK he didn't.  He didn't like his weight yesterday and I never got around to the blog so I let him weigh this morning.  He is up 2 lbs for week 7 but is still down 7.6 for round 2.  I'm not sure what is in his hand... you'll have to ask him!

Other people that weighed this week:

 Judy is down a pound for this week and down a total of 24.4 since the start of round 1.

Carolina lost 2.6 lbs.

Lisa is down 3.4 for a total of 7.6 lbs lost for round 2.

Rosa gained.  I'm not going to divulge her numbers, but I am going to confess we are eating red velvet iced cookies at this very moment.

Cindy, Tammy, Eric and Cody!!!!!!!!!!!

WISH US LUCK FOR WEEK 8. OUR LAST WEEK.
