May 15th weigh in Results

Hey everyone,

Here are the results for May. We only have 3 more weigh-ins, so keep up the good work!!!

Biggest Loser 5K event

Well here are pictures from that day, as promised. It was actually pretty fun to do and Geoffrey and I are planning on trying to do another 5K (or different race) in the future. What was amazing about this, was people were there of all shapes, sizes, and ages. To me, this shows that you can do anything that you put your mind to, even when it's as simple as going for a walk.

Geoff and I stayed after and got to talk with Sarah, as well as the former Biggest Loser contestants. They were so nice, and seemed so genuinely happy to be there and put up with all of us who were star-struck. After all, they were where most of us are at now.....trying to figure out how to change our lives for the better.

Kristi and I...yes the very Kristi that is kicking everybody's butts in this competition!

Geoff getting ready

Karen (you know her as Karen O.) and I

Our little Phoebee....ready to go for a walk

The Starting line.....ready, set, run!

Ada, Phoebee and I

Adam, Phoebee and I. He LOVED Phoebee, even took a picture of her :)

Sam asked to hold Phoebee. It was so cute, because he couldn't quite figure out how to hold her and Phoebee just stared at him.

Koli, Geoff, Pheobee, Sarah, me and Darius

Sarah meeting Phoebee for the first time. So cute!

I am severely out of shape, and was so so so sore after the race, but it was worth it. I really hope that they do it again next year. Who's with me?

Weigh-in #6 RESULTS

Here are the results! Sorry it took so long. I didn't hear from some people (posted the results without them), plus I've been busy. So here you go! Keep up the good work. Kristi, of course, is still kicking our butts. Someone needs to give her a run for the money. Who's it going to be?

Dancing With The Stars

Did anyone else watch this last night? I am always a bit hesitant to watch when I don't know who the people are, or vice versa and I am just scared at what they're going to be like. But so far, there are a few that look like they might be pretty good.
Why in the world am I blogging about this on our New and Healthy Life blog you ask? Did anyone watch Kirstie Alley? Seriously for a big girl, she can move. And more power to her. I love that she is so confident and comfortable with who she is and is willing to go out in front of the world and show that big girls don't need to hide behind their weight. I love love love that she's doing the show and hope she wins it. It just shows you don't have to be a size zero to be active, dance your guts out, and look great doing it. Another inspiration for me to just keep dancing! Way to go Kirstie! You rock!!!!!!!!

Weigh-in #5 RESULTS

Here we go. Some of us (me...cough, cough) are obviously struggling. Wish I could figure out a way to get out of this funk. Any suggestions? I am hoping that this weekends 5K will inspire me. I am actually pretty excited about it. Who would of thought I'd be excited to go for a walk? Sarah, from The Biggest Loser is scheduled to be there, as well as many other former contestants. And I can't wait to see her! Did anyone watch her elimination show two weeks ago? It was sad to see her go, but she looks amazing! She's so inspiring! I am hoping that I get to pick her brain and see if she can help me out. Pictures will be posted after this weekend!!!!

I'd love to hear how people are doing. What's working, what's not. I will post soon about what's obviously not working for me. Not that any of you will care to read it....it's mainly for me. So keep up the good work everyone!
