We had our first weigh in yesterday. We didn't all meet together to do it-that happens just once a month-but we just sent our weight lost in to our record keeper. Dad did terrific! He has lost 8.4 pounds already. That is so much better than the 2 pounds a month he was hoping for. I know that men drop the weight faster but he is working hard for it. His percentage of weight lose was 3.1. Two of the ladies lost over 3% as well. The competition is great for us. We do an hour of exercise together most days and he also does a mile climb up the hill across from his work at least once and sometimes twice a day and then comes home and works out with me. He also swims 2 or 3 nights a week.
I only lost 1.6 lbs. or .83 but it is a start. I am getting to not dread the exercise so much. I workout with dad on Monday and Tuesday and then on Wed, Thurs, and Fri I really kick it in because I can do it first thing in the morning and I do at least an hour of the Biggest loser dvd and then I do the treadmill and cardioglide as well. I can tell that my pants are getting looser even if not much weight is gone.
Some of the ladies keep sending tips and suggestions to each of us and that helps me just keeping it to the front of my mind-although as sore as I am it isn't easy to forget.

Yay Dad! That is awesome! Don't worry Mamma, you have already been losing weight, so 1.6 lbs is great for one week. And you are right-men lose it faster. If Mike moves a shelf at work, he loses 5 lbs. I can work-out every day for months and not do that...soooo frustrating. :D
Great job both of you! I can't believe how much you are working out, that is awesome.
It sounds like you are probably putting on some lean muscle if the weight didn't fluctuate much and the pants are more loose. I'd take the clothes fitting better over the scale any day. Way to go!
So what are you guys eating?? I'm getting tired of the same blah winter foods since fresh fruit and veggies look so drab right now.
way to go both of you. maybe i can use this to get jake in gear and excercise with me
