THE BIGGEST LOSER WEIGH IN...

My starting weight is 199 (yikes, I gained a few extra lbs. since Friday!) 

John's starting weight is 183.5

Now that we are weighed in, it's time to start shedding the pounds. We need as much encouragement as possible. So if you see me or John eating a doughnut or pop tart...take it out of our hands and replace it with an apple.

Just to clarify, I am not looking to go skeleton skinny like Nicole Richie when she was her thinnest. I am looking to be skinny like Nicole was shortly after she gave birth. Know what I mean? 

My goal weight is 180 and John's is 155 so we need to both lose about 25-30 lbs. Our first weigh in is Feb. 28. I will report back then!  

NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION: BECOME A SKINNY BITCH!

I don't want to be rail thin...just thinner than I am today. Above is a picture from high school. I know I was sucking it in for the picture, but today, sucking it in still looks fat, which is why I need to start working on being a skinny bitch again.

I'm turning 31 this year and I think John and I really hit the desserts and stopped our fitness routine after the half marathon. As reported in a previous blog, I have been stuck on 196 for my weight. I did go lower for a while, I think as low as 190, but after the holidays, back at 196-197 - IRG! We both are annoyed our clothes are feeling tight and it is time to lose the weight so we can stop feeling like stuffed sausages and feel leaner and trimmer! 

Today, John and I decided to do a household biggest loser. Our weigh in is tomorrow. We haven't decided on the prize, but I'm sure we can be creative and find some kind of reward that will motivate the both of us! 

Yes, like so many Americans this year, we are going to work on losing weight. Wish us luck, more details to come and any advise/encouragement is appreciated and very welcomed!
