Week 1 Weigh in -- Jen

I finished this week at ..

187.0

I lost 3 lbs (1.6%)

My goal for this week is to be at 185.0 (2.6%)
When I lose 10% of my body weight (19 lbs) I'm going to buy myself a new outfit
When I lose 20% of my body weight (38 lbs) I will be done and am going to get a babysitter for overnight (ahhem ... steph) and go to the anniverary inn in Logan with Joe.

I'd like to try to lose 10 lbs by Valentines Day.
I'd like to lose 20 lbs by April Fools Day.
I'd like to lose 30 lbs by Memorial Day
I'd like to lose 40 lbs by 4th of July.

Tough ... YES
attainable? Probably.
We'll see how it goes.

If I lose 40 lbs I'll be a (smokin') 150 lb mama!

Awesome! I'm excited for you. In all honesty (and I can't believe I'm writhing this), reading this post, and thinking about how you'll look, turned me on a little bit.

Older Sister's Mission Statement!

I am the older sister. I should be the example. I have had a problem my entire life with my weight. Something goes on inside of head ... it is an emotional food roller coaster for me. I will get over it! I will beat it! 2010 is my year!!

With the help of the cute younger sister ... we are going to change our lifestyle forever! We have a long line of problems in our family. Diabetes, heart failure, obesity. I am right in line to take on one or all of these. I refuse

Not only that, I now have a family. I have grown up with so much self doubt and have never been comfortable with myself. I don't want to pass that insecurity on to my children. I want to be an example to them. I want to be able to go on hikes with them, walks, play basketball, run, bike, enjoy the world and not just fill like I am in it -- but a part of it!

All of my family line -- that I know of -- has had these problems. It's time for a break in the cycle. That break will be me! (And my sis =) )

Younger Sister's Mission Statement!

I am the younger sister and have always loved doing thing for and with my older sister. Being able to lose weight and get in shape with her will be a great rewarding experience.

Through my younger years i never felt comfortable in my own skin. I always compared myself to others and thought that i would have a better life if i looked like so and so. When i started playing basketball in High School my outlook changed. I gained a higer self esteem. I had about 6 months a year were i was conditioning and having a daily workout. I lost weight and inches!

Now, i am in college, in a very small town. It's hard to buy healthy things and work out by myself. I am starting to have self doubts and really want to shape up my body and life! I don't have anyone to motivate me besides myself and my sister! I am ready to be healthy and have less health issues when i am older! Besides the weak ankles, pretty sure that will stay with me :)

I feel like the competative nature in me will help me progress. I want to increase my time and finish races and race myself! I can't wait to get started!

LETS DO IT!!
