January 17 ThursdayI thought I would blog now while I am home for Hudsons nap....I won't have time for a few days I'm sure. My husbands grandpa died this morning so things around here are pretty rough. I am trying hard to stay in my cals...but I have a problem with eating when I'm upset! Obviously I won't get to go to the BL Tour in wichita...it would have been a blast but I need to be here with my family. I will write more when I have a sec. Thanks for all the support on this site...you are all awesome!
Mandy Natalie's Wednesday Blog. Well I'm not having the greatest couple of days. I'm doing well working out, and staying within my calories for the most part, drinking the water....etc....but I am eating too fast and too much when I get home from work. It's like I look down and I've eaten 2 bowls of noodles. :( It's so frusturating!! I don't even realize I've done it. Maybe I should just go back to Weight Watchers because it gives me more accountability. I don't know what to do. Grrr. I know I'll get there....baby steps!! On the upside...I can't wait until Saturday for the Million Pound Tour and to meet my girl Mandy!! January 16 Mandy's Tuesday blogToday has been a much better day! Did my exercise and did great on my calories. I found an awesome recipe for pork stir fry with cashew rice that I made for dinner. It was delicioius and only 400 cals. I haven't watched the show yet. I have it on my DVR so I will watch tomorrow while I exercise! I'm getting really excited for the million pound tour this weekend. I have a feeling it will be awesome! Well, time for bed...baby will be up at 7 whether I'm ready or not!!!
January 14 Mandy- MondayHey all, sorry it's been a few days. I have been out of town with a family member in the hospital. So, needless to say I haven't got to exercise and the eating hasn't been too great either. I have a feeling I won't be losing this week. I really hope I don't gain. I will post more once things settle back down. Hope all is well! January 13 Hellloooo, Natalie here!Well hello everyone! Ok this is weird to me. Friday night I didn't work out. I had 2 Red Bull and vokdas at a friends house. So Satruday morning guess what? The scale moved DOWN. 2 pounds. I don't get it! Last week, I worked out every night, ate within my calories, but the scale didn't budge. Could it be that I ate the majority of my calories at night for supper? Well anyway I am happy....didn't work out last night, but didn't eat too bad. Ate lunch out for the first time since the first of the year. Did ok. I'm moving downtown in March so I'm completely stoked! I haven't had a roommate in 3 years so we will see how that will work. Have a happy Sunday people. Natalie Saturday from MandyIt's been a pretty good day today I guess. Had a few setbacks with my eating today...but I will work out extra to make up for it. A few days ago I sent a message on myspace to Julie from last seasons Biggest Loser. She actually replied back and had read my myspace page and told me all the things we had in common. She told me she really hoped to meet me at the Million Pound Tour in Wichita!!! It made my day. It was so nice of her to take the time to send me a message back when I can only imagine how busy she is!!! Anyway, only a few more days! Yippee!! January 11 Mandy's weigh inFirst of all, let me say to Natalie...a loss is a loss! Sometimes it goes that way! I really saw that on the show Tuesday too...those guys work out for hours and hours a day. If they only lose 1 or 2 pounds after all that, it's bound to happen to us too! Don't get discouraged, I'm sure next week will be better.
Well, I lost 3.8 pounds! I usually don't have a number that big so I'm pretty happy! I'm down to 306.2 so maybe if I work really really hard this week I can get under 300 finally. Thats a big amount to lose in a week so I doubt it, but I'm gonna try!
Natalie's weigh inWell I can't get the photo to upload right now and I have to get to work, but I am down 1.2 pounds (293.8 pounds). I'm not happy with that at all. I worked my butt off. I think I ate too many calories at night. I will upload the pic at lunch. Nat January 10 Mandy's WednesdayThe show rocked last night! I agree with Natalie about the orange team!!! Had a great day...I even worked out twice! Woo HOo! I'm starting to feel better already. Every day I get more and more energy! I won't lie, it's not easy eating healthy. I was at my husbands business today and there were brownies there. I ate one! Thats why I worked out twice...ha ha. I know it's ok to cheat every once in a while...but it's hard for me when it's right in my face! Weigh in day is almost here...just one more day! I'm excited and nervous. I hope you all are having a great day. Stay focused tomorrow!! We can do this! January 09 Tuesday for Natalie! Well today was pretty darn good! Despite being stressed about work, trying to find a place to live, and oh did I say work...LOL...I managed to do 2.1 miles on the treadmill! Woo hoo! I just keep thinking that there is a fit, healthy girl inside of all this 295 pounds just busting to come out! The show was awesome! Soooo motivating! I just love Dan and his mom (orange team)...they are so positive and sweet to each other. I'll check in tomorrow with ya'll....be healthy!  January 08 Mandy- BL Tuesday!!!!!!!!WOO HOO THE SHOW IS TONIGHT...CAN'T WAIT!!! Today has been pretty great. I rode the bike for 45 minutes and did my strength training today. I feel good! Right on target for my cals and a healthy dinner is in the crock pot so I should be good to go!! It seems like it is going to take FOREVER to lose all this weight...but it is so worth it!!! I got myself into this mess, so I've gotta work hard and get myself out! Going to the doctor tomorrow so I will get to peek and see if I've lost any before my weigh in on Friday. I'm keeping my fingers crossed! Hope everyone is having a great day and staying on track! Monday is done!Hey everyone, this is Natalie! I just got done working out and wanted to do a quick blog. Did 1 1/2 mile on the treadmill. My legs are pretty sore from the BL DVD so I kinda took it easy. I'm eating good. Went shopping tonight and stocked up!! :D Well I'm off to bed. Will blog more tomorrow!! Natalie  Pretty good for a Monday for MandyWell it's been a pretty good start to the week today! The only problem I'm having is being hungry a lot. I'm not sure if i'm really hungry or just want to eat because I'm bored. I did really good on my calories today... and I had Subway for dinner...yummy! I did 45 minutes on the bike. I've got to get my weights done tomorrow!! I can't wait for the million pound tour in a few weeks! Natalie told me today that Julie will be there!!!!! I'm so excited, she is such an inspiration! I hope someday I can look that good! Well, off to feed the baby... January 06 Kickin' butt so far on this Sunday for Natalie...Hello everyone!! Today is going well! I got up early and cleaned some...then I ate some organic enchiladas (Amy's is the brand...they are in the frozen section at Target). I've drank quite a bit of water and I have just been having a lazy Sunday! Here's some pics of my treadmill AKA home for the next year! LOL. 
Have a healthy week ya'll!! Just another dayHey everyone! This is Mandy. So it's Sunday...I've had a pretty good day so far. Got in 30 minutes on the exercise bike. I've done REALLY good with my calories so far. I feel so good when I am eating healthy and exercising. I don't know why I didn't keep it up before! Hopefully I can keep up this momentum and sail through the week. Can't wait to see the show on Tuesday. My DVR was messed up last week so I missed the premier  so I will have to get caught up this week. I hope the scales are kind this week! Later!!Mandy's first blog...here goes!Hey you guys, this is Mandy! It's been a blast working with Natalie getting our page going. Thanks to Gayle for helping Natalie get started! For the first time in my life I feel like I have so many people behind me in this journey! I am so excited to lose weight and be healthy...for the rest of my life. Can't wait to see all the BL cast in Wichita in a few weeks. That will be awesome!!! Well, I gotta get some rest so I can get up early before the baby wakes up and do my exercise bike.
