Not going well

Hi guys, this is Cheryl! I know I haven't updated in a while, but for the past week I just cannot find the will power to stop eating bad food. I did so well at the beginning, but am not having any success lately. I don't ever remember binging like this! I'm so upset and just want to get back to it. I told myself this morning, today is the day no more eating bad, but no, that dream is already ruined. I'm not even hungry!!!@!! I just need to get back to it. The most unbelievable thing is that I got down to 303 lbs, 12 lbs lost; that is the most weight I've lost in a long time and in such a short time frame!! I think I have put on 5. It just makes me sick! I am sick of food and thinking about it all the time!!! Anyway I will get there. I know it is a set back but I will make it through!!! Thanks for listening!!!

Week Three and Going Strong

Well it's week three and we are still on our path to healthy living! I lost 6 pounds this week, Wooo Hooo!!!! I am so excited. Audrey did not have a weight loss this week but she is still in good spirits; we know we will get there!!! This is the first time in my life that I feel like I am finally going to be able to take off the weight and am so happy to be doing it with all of you as support and just knowing there are so many out there with the same struggle. I really think this is the best thing ever. The Biggest Loser has made me motivated to do something once and for all. Thank you guys so much. I really appreciate everyone who inspired us to get on this life long quest for success.

Gettin' eR Done

Today is the end of the first week for us!! We made it. Unfortunately it has not been smooth sailing, as we hoped it would be! This week we have scheduled out a menu and an exercise routine, hopefully this will keep us on track for success in the coming weeks. Our progress this week has been more than I hoped for. I have lost 3 lbs. and am feeling great about it! Audrey has lost 4.5 lbs.! Ashley and Manuel have also lost 3 lbs. each. So we have had some great success in our first week and are looking forward to getting even more done next week. Good luck to all!!!

The Begining of the End

Sun, 13 Jan 2008 18:33:45 GMT

Today is the beginning of the end for our family. We are a family determined to change our lives starting today. Our weights range from 140 to 335lbs. Some of us have a “LITTLE” more to lose than the others, but we are all aware it is time for a change! We need to teach the kids and ourselves how to live a healthy lifestyle. There is no time left to sit idly by and watch our kids fall into the same poor habits we have become so accustomed to.

My name is Cheryl; I live with my cousin Audrey and her family. Audrey and Manuel have three kids still at home; Ashley age 17 and two younger kids age 12 and 8. We, especially the two youngest kids, have been fans of the Biggest Loser since it first started. In fact every season I (the biggest one in the house) say how I am going to be the next biggest loser. Yet here we are in season 5 and I have yet to lose one pound let alone two hundred!! So we have decided to start our own biggest loser challenge. Today we weigh in and put the bet on the line. Audrey, Manuel, Ashley, and I have decided to ante up $100 each, winner take all!!! We’ll keep you posted on our progress. For now I say good luck to us all and everyone out there trying to make a difference in their life by making the decision to lose the weight and keep it off!!
