Definitely back on track!!!!!!


I will speak for myself this time, 
much as I like Bob Harper.

I am back on track and there to stay!
Having a great time in Orlando and Clearwater.
See you all soon.

This report is for the weigh in on
October 1, 2013.  The weigh in before that
was not reported but on Thursday, September 26th
the unofficial weigh in was 194.2 lbs.

So any loss this time is for just the 5 days 
after that unofficial weigh in.  Not much time.

And the weigh in is . . . . . . . . . .


192.7 on October 1, 2013.
For a total weight loss of 1.5 lbs and 
a percentage of weight loss of almost 8 tenths of a percent.

YES!


And the Hawaii fund is now up to:

$800

A pendulum or back on track.......


The weigh in we reported on September 3rd was up from 194.9 on 
August 27th to 197 on September 3rd.  That was the one that set
Jillian off.

We are not even mentioning the official weigh in on this Tuesday, 9/24, 
but as of today, Thursday, 9/26 Mary weighed in at



194.2 lbs, only down 7 tenths of a pound 
from one month ago, 
but she is back and back on track!


There was one loss of over one pound in the swings 
the last month, but we are not paying good money for ground 
that has already been covered.  So, the Hawaii fund is still holding at $700.

While the cats away . . . .


OK, I am back and I am not happy.  This is not just a game, it is a way to 
change habits for good.  Mary seems to think when the trainer is away there 
is no reason to keep to her plan.  That just does not cut it.

Mary reports that she ate what she wanted at one party and that affected her
weight.  Ok, maybe a little I would buy.  But if you train all week and eat right all
week, splurging once is not going to be a disaster.  It is being consistent all week that 
really counts.  I see a pattern of ignoring eating right and training for most of the week
and making up for it with a good two or three days.  So naturally when you eat too much at
a party on Sunday for a weigh in on Tuesday you do not see good results.  Just doing
what you have to at the end of the week to have a decent weigh in is disturbing.
Maybe you can make it through the contest that way, but it shows there is no real
change at a deeper level.

Eating right and getting good exercise
is not something you do for a few days a week to win a bet.  It 
is what you do for the rest of your life because it will make life better.

So it is what it is this week, but let's see real change in the future, not just ok numbers.
Last week the Tuesday weigh in was 194.9 lbs.


This week the weigh in was 197 lbs, up 2.1 lbs.

This means a penalty of -$50 from the Hawaii fund 
and a lot of hard work to get back to square one.

$700

We are back!


There has been a little interruption in our regularly 
scheduled programming, but we are back.

We last reported in for the Tuesday August 6th
weigh in at 198.6 pounds.  Wonderland!!!!!!

August 13th was down
.9 pounds to 197.7 lbs.  Not bad, but not a full pound.

We are lumping the results together for the weigh in August 20th 
and August 27th.  So we are looking for the total weight loss since 
August 13th.  And that is . . . . . 


194.9 pounds
for a total weight loss of 2.8 lbs
and a percentage of total weight 
lost of 1.42%.

So with an average for the two weeks of 1.4 lbs
each week, the Hawaii Fund is now:

$750

Does it happen this week?

A little late again in reporting on Tuesday morning's weigh in, but here it is:

Mary was getting close to Wonderland last week at 201.7.  (For those of you who do not watch me on the Biggest Loser "Wonderland" should be spelled "Onederland" and means getting back into the 100's after being over 200 pounds for a long time!  If not this week, then maybe next???? Let's see . . . .


Last week's weigh in was 201.7 lbs.

AND

This week was:

198.6 lbs.
for a total of 3.1 pounds
and a total percentage of weight lost of 
1.54%

It was Wonderland and Disneyland all in one week  . . . . . .

and the Hawaii Fund, 

is now up to $550 and growing.

Bob Harper chimes in!

Ok, it is time for me to weigh in on this blog.  For those of you who do not watch The Biggest Loser, I am trainer Bob Harper.  Mary worked hard against a tough break this week.  On the Sunday before the weigh in last week Mary took a fall and sprained, strained or cracked a rib or something that by Tuesday last week was really hurting and made it hard to keep up an exercise routine, but Mary kept at it and exercised as much as she could.

Last week's weigh in was 203.7 lbs.


This week's weigh in was 
201.7 lbs
for a total weight loss of 2 lbs 
and a percentage of total 
weight lost of .98%.

Weigh to go!!!

The Hawaii fund is now $450 and we all know what is just around the corner!

Opps!

Correction to the new rules.  That should have said that there would be a deduction of $50 for any week were there was a loss of less than 1/2 a pound, not one pound.
