VA Results ...

Busy week here in VA... +/- 0 :( Next week :) Hope each of you have a good week!

No change this week in Illinois

Great job Dad, Mom and Rebecca! Rachel and I post a 0 lost 0 gain this week. It is because we are building muscle :) I have made the insane decision to run the Chicago Marathon (Oct. 10th) with a friend. The training starts today. That should bring the numbers down. Rachel is working out three times a week with a friend as well. They are doing a work out DVD with Jillian from the biggest loser. Love you all!

Mom and Dad Weighing In

Recording your weigh-in

This may be too confusing, but here it goes.
1. Double click on the ticker above
2. Enter the password: 1234
3. Click on Edit /Update Weight Data.
3. Re-enter the password: 1234
4. Take your weekly number and: Subtract from (for weight loss) or Add to(for weight gain)the "Your Current Weight" tab (I had to put in an original weight of 220 because they wouldn't allow a goal weight of anything lower than 100)
5. Click next at the bottom of the page
6. You don't have to do anything else. This will automatically update the ticker on the blog

Rebecca, I already put in your weight of 4.4 lbs lost. Great Job! Rachel and I have lost 6 lbs. together. So only 109.6 lbs to go :)

How do we post our weight loss on the counter?

Hey, Thanks Stephen for working to get this set up! Ironic you choose Saturday for our night to 'report.' Before knowing this, I had chosen Saturday nights as my 'weigh in.' First weigh in last night - 4.4 lbs :) Encouraging each of you guys to post those negative numbers too :) Love you all. Have a great week!

Sample Weight Counters

Playing around with different counters. This one would require each of us to post a number for the week (+ or - the # of lbs.) and then a total for the whole family could be displayed until the next week's weigh-in.

Let's do this!

Hey guys,
It's Stephen. I am sitting here trying to set up this blog on weight loss while I am eating chocolate chip cookies straight from the oven. Kinda ironic. I was thinking that we could post our weight loss (or gain if I don't stop eating these things) every week...say on Saturday. I am trying to find a counter that we can use. If you find anything let me know. I think I have set this up so that everyone will have full ability to post and edit everything on the blog. We also need to decide the reward if we reach our goal of 120 lbs lost by the end of June. Share your ideas. I think I heard someone say a kid free weekend on a houseboat :) Well, we'll get this up and running soon. Love you guys and happy dieting!

it's the small things... right?

From Drop Box

Eating lunch out today. Passed up the '2 person special' which included an appetizer and dessert and opted for grilled chicken (N) and tofu (C) and steamed brown rice. Maybe we can get rich doing this too?
