Walking jogging playing tennis lifting weights

We are part of the Million Pound Match Up for biggest loser. We are sisters who have made commitments to get healthy and stay healthy by keeping each other motivated to lose weight.
I'm Barbie and I'm 27 and over the past 2 1/2 years I've gained about 35 pounds. It all started when I was in an automobile accident and broke my ankle. I loved playing sports and working out so I was able to eat almost anything I wanted without gaining weight. After my injury the pounds starting adding up as my bad eating habits continued with no exercise. I heard about this contest while watching my favorite show (The Biggest Loser) and my sister and I knew it was time to get motivated. Now that I can finally exercise I plan on working out 4-5 times a week and watching what I eat. Making a habit of making healthy choices is my ultimate goal.
My name is Bess and I haven't always been obese. We should win cuz we have the strength and will power we need to work hard and use the personal trainers.

Barbie- Week 10

Today I'm at 177! I didn't do very well making it to the gym but, i manged to eat better so that was good. I'm hoping to do both next week.

I have to say that the TV show really made me mad last night. I watched it for 2 hours and no one was voted off. That show is just strating to get on my nerves with the rules constantly changing. If I wanted to watch drama I'd watch survivor!

Bess week 9

I haven't lost any weight over the past couple of weeks. I have hit a plateau but I think I have been slacking some. So I'm going to get back on track and hopefully by Tuesday I will have lost more weight.

Barbie- Week 9

ok, I'm back at 178! I was sick all weekend so I'm not sure if that helped me get there but, at this point who cares. I'm back at 178 and happy to be there. It's been 9 week and I'm happy to have lost 9 pounds. I'm hoping to be at 176 next week! We did work out this week and I did avoid the desserts at work so I feel good.

Barbie- Week 8

I was in D.C. last week so I didn't have a chance to write my blog for week 7. Last week I was still at 178 so I was ok with that. This week I actually gained a pound and I'm back at 179. These past 2 weeks have been rough since I've been traveling and working so much. Hopefully I'll get to move the scale down a few pounds next week. I'm really goinng to try hard to get back on track. Bess has school tonight so I'll have to make myself work out by myself or I can go pick up my other sister and take her to the gym with me. Hopefully Bess and I can go tomorrow and over the weekend. Let's hope for sunny weather so we can walk outside.
