This could happen to you...

...and if it does, don't you want your butt to look good?

Weight-Loss Wednesday 2/11/09

Every Wednesday we will post our percentage losses. We want to keep our actual weight to ourselves and to make the competition fair we will use our weight loss percentage only. To learn how to calculate your percentage of weight lost, go to http://www.freedieting.com/tools/weight_loss_calculator.htm and use the Percentage Loss Calculator at the bottom of the page.

On the first Wednesday of the month, we will also post photo updates.

Sorry for the late update... We've added wind storm to our many crazy weather events lately and I was a bit distracted today. JS is still maintaining a good lead and the rest of the board was a little shuffled around. Let's all kick it in to high gear this last 3 weeks!!! Good work!!!

JS: 5.46%
NG: 4.25%
Alex: 4%
Mama J.: 3.8%
NS: 3.76%
BG: 3.53%
Mama Drama: 3.31%

We've made it through the first half of the challenge! Congratulations for making it this far! JS has pulled out to a substancial lead. WAY TO GO!!!! And, I am equally proud of Mama J, BG, NS, and myself for doing well despite being without power for a week. There was no point counting going on with BG and I. We had McDonald's, Papa Johns... you name it!

JS: 6.0%
Mama Drama: 4.70%
NG: 4.01%
Alex: 4%
Mama J.: 3.8%
NS: 3.62%
BG: 2.85%

We are still working on gathering our 1 month after pictures and I'll post those later. I'm so proud of all of you!!! Keep up the good work!

Laughing burns calories, right?

So we've had a week off and now we're back on track. While we're compiling all the weight losses, I'll share this video with you. Yes, it's 6th grade humor, but it's pretty funny and should make you laugh.

ICING.... and I don't mean the good kind...

Unfortunately, Weight-Loss Wednesday is having to be postponed due to um.... well ICE. Most of us here in the Ohio Valley do not have power. BG and I (NG) are at some friends' house and waiting for for our power to come back on which may take a few days.

Another big bummer is all our competitors will have a major advantage on us and we've been eating pretty rotten. Pizza... grilled cheese... popcorn... McDonald's.... we're in grease heaven over here. We're not pigging out though and we're trying to keep it at a minimum.

So, please say a prayer for our safety and that we all get power back soon. We'll keep you posted!

When the going gets tough...

Times have been trying in the Brooklyn Baby Household recently. There's a myriad of reasons why I've been stressed. One of them is Stella's been sick, which means nobody's sleeping.

No sleep = bad decisions for Mama Drama. Don't be surprised if I remain on the bottom after tomorrow's weigh-in. That's all I'm saying.

On the upside, my wii fit is incredible, and for some reason, even if I've eaten relatively poorly, I always work out. My back feels almost normal for the first time in a year!

Ugh...dreading the scale, dreading the scale...
