January 22 Getting rough now I am sitting here at work starving!! I ate the usual oatmeal for breakfast, but I must have gotten a bad bunch or something because it did absolutely nothing for me!! Not good! Can't wait for the day when I think of something other than food. I am addicted. I guess the first step is admitting that you have a problem. Well, I do. HELP!!! January 17 Site under construction Sorry that there are no pictures yet, but I promise that they are coming!! I guess you can say it's like the weight loss-- a work in progress!! Kathy's turn Well, here we go again with all the temptation out there. When did portions get so out of control? And why do I want so badly to eat this way? I know that I want to be healthy and thin, but it is hard to do with all the things out there. I mean, even picking up something in the drive-thru is a mind-blowing experience. I wish they would put the nutrition facts on everything to help people make better choices! I am continuing to lose, although not as much as last week. But, a loss is a loss toward my goal!! Kathy's weight loss so far: 9 pounds!!! More Lost! I can't help but to be envious of all the people out there who are just "naturally" thin. This is really hard work! I am very proud of the progress that I am making, but boy do I want to just sit on the couch and eat Oreos sometimes! Then I get to thinking about how I will look and feel by the time I meet my goals and I get more motivated than ever! I am taking the stairs only at work and walking at least a mile a day. May not sound like much, but trust me, it's an adjustment! I find myself getting full much sooner than usual as well. Guess that's a good thing. Pray that I don't give in to the cravings and that I can keep this up! Laura's weight loss so far: 10.5 pounds!! January 11 Talking about WE'RE LOSING IT!!
Quote This was drafted on January 7, 2008. I thought I published it but instead I saved it as a draft. I hope that it does not disqualify us!! With all that I have going on right now, I can't believe that I didn't put Desitin on my toothbrush instead of toothpaste!! WE'RE LOSING IT!! WE'RE LOSING IT!! Hey there guys!! Well, week one is complete and I have done a pretty good job. I have been counting my calories and exercising when possible. We have walking areas at work so that really helps. I lost my father-in law on Jan. 3, so I faltered for a day or two. But I know that I need to do this for myself and for my family. I have gotten really excited about getting healthy. There are a group of us at work who are really working together and motivating one another and that is what I really need to stay on track. Pray for me, and I will make you proud!!  Laura   Laura's weight loss so far: 6 lbs.Hi! I am happy to report that I have done very well with my diet plan. With work and my kids, it's hard to find the time to be "good" but I really am trying. It's a little easier at work than usual because of the weight loss challenge that so many are participating in. It really forces you to be accountable, and that can be a real eye opener. Keep thinking of us as we try to make our families proud!  KathyKathy's weight loss so far: 7lbs.Week 1 team loss: 13 lbs!! January 02 BIGGEST LOSER MILLION POUND MATCHUPMEET KATHY AND LAURA...2 BIG LOSERSHey! We are friends and co-workers from Mississippi. Officially, Kathy lives in Pearl (city chick) and Laura lives in Harrisville (country bumpkin). We work as registered nurses and have joined a program launched through our workplace for overall health and fitness. We love to eat, but have come to realize that the scales are not just cruel because they choose to be; we actually are responsible for the numbers that the scale reads  . That said, we have joined forces to help one another to reach our weight loss goals. We both are busy moms who work long 12 hour shifts. It's difficult to find time to eat, much less eat right! And the water weight adds a few pounds, too, I'm sure--going to the bathroom alone is quite often a luxury.We have found a wonderful friend and comic relief in one another and believe that we can help to motivate one another along this journey. Even small changes, such as walking the stairs and parking farther away than usual can make a big difference. Also, the eating out will be limited and sensible, whereas before it was a lot and often. Being accountable to someone else is the motivation we both need to achieve the ultimate success! Also, we should win because:
