Friends With Fortitude - Jenn & Jennise Post Million Pound Match-Up

"You don't realize how strong a person really is until you see them at their weakest moment." - unknown

Why We Joined... Why We Will Win...Our Plan...

"You don't realize how strong a person really is until you see them at their weakest moment." (Unknown) That is why we teamed up for The Biggest Loser Million Pound Match-Up. We have reached that moment in our lives where we realize we cannot do it on our own. Having a partner is where we will find the strength we need to make our dreams become a reality. Having support in this process will give us the strength needed to persevere when we want to give up. What an opportunity to offer and receive support, to give and gain strength, to solidify that we are not alone in this journey to a healthier, happier me.

We are finally taking charge of our health...our lives! We have the dedication, commitment, and drive it takes to make our weight loss goals come true. We always nurture and put the needs of our family and friends ahead of ours...well today is OUR DAY...this is OUR TIME ! Like Bob has said so many times...,"You are worth it!...say it!" We finally ARE saying it! We Know that we are! We are going to make this happen...watch out world!

We won't get stuck in a rut so we will mix it up by including: a variety of cardio, strength training, and activities that keep us moving and motivated. We will focus on the positive and enjoy our journey! We will be inspired by watching The Biggest Loser each week; and communicating daily with each other. We will implement healthy habits, and avoid those things that bring us down and our waist size up! Calorie counting and tracking our weight-loss will be sure to keep us on track and looking hot at the FINALE with Bob and Jillian!.

Weighing Me Down - Jenn

Hi All,
it is not that I don't want to be on here, but I have been quite sick since last week.  I have kidney stones and a major kidney infection.  This sucks!!!!  I have not ever had stones before and cannot believe just how much this hurts!  I am hoping that they pass soon. 
 
Even with being in so much pain and off of my workout schedule, I still lost this week.  Even though it was not a huge loss it was a loss right.  I am down from 168 to 167.4.  I will take any loss at this point.
 
I was hoping to have a date with the treadmill while watcihng the finale tonight, but I will have to settle for the bed I guess.  I am super excited to see everyones progress.
 
I hope that you all have an awesome time watching the finale.

"Closet Eater"*HELP!!-Jennise

Old habits are hard to break. I have noticed in the past few weeks that I have a really bad habit when it comes to eating in front of people and when I am eating at home. I guess you could call me a “closet eater” because I tend to do amazing when I am with people, but then tend to blow it when I get home. I have a lot of control and will-power when I am eating in front of people, but when I get home it is like feeding day at the zoo for me. I put everything I can get my hands on into my mouth and just have a hay day. I have really been noticing this and trying to get control, but I feel the more I pull on my reins, the harder I try to keep shoveling the food in my mouth. This has obviously not been good for the weight-loss and is something I really need to control. Can anyone out there relate? Do you have any solutions that work or even help? Please, please let me know because I really want to break down the barriers to this problem and mend it so I can continue on my weight-loss journey.

This week I went from 199 lbs to 198.5 lbs; so , I am another ½ lb closer to my goal weight. It is like pulling teeth to get me to lose a pound; however, I am still sticking with it and am still losing!! I know I have a few barriers to break that will definitely aide me in this journey; I am working on those and hope that by breaking them down, the weight will start to melt off quicker!!

Battling the Buffet!!!-JENNISE

Last week was my grandmother’s 90th birthday and we celebrated her birthday by having a big party at a place with a buffet. Battling the buffet was definitely challenging, but I told my husband that if he saw me near the dessert table, that he was to slap my hands and say ‘Step away from the dessert’s!” He gladly agreed and was up to the challenge of finding healthy foods and keeping my calories down. I have to honestly say, I ate one plate of salad and fruit, and got one more plate with two roasted turkey breasts (yum, yum). I did very well and did not eat dessert or rolls or anything that I felt was worth the calories. You know what, I survived and am alive to tell my story; I actually came away feeling very satisfied and feeling good about myself and my efforts to battle the buffet!

Another pound closer...Jenn

 I am happy to report that I am down another pound this week.  Each day a little closer to my goal.
 
I quite enjoyed getting on and doing some catching up tonight with some of the teams that I have gotten to know over the weeks.  I am really happy that at least some of you are sticking around.  It makes me sad that some have dropped off because the "contest" is over...well if we are honest with ourselves...our journey shouldn't be bw over.  It is great that a contest could motivate some to start this journey...but why quit when the contest is over???
 
I have days where I get frustrated, but it is on those days that I pull strength from my MPM family!  Thanks for being there!
 
I am excited for the finale...got a date with the treadmill. LOL...maybe I'll get a new workout outfit for the special occassion.  I will be posting pics this week of my new workout room...LOVE IT!  It will be ready before weeks end.
 
Have an awesome week.

Oh, I almost forgot!!!!

In all my slumpiness, I almost forgot the greatest news of all.  I acutally got out of the 200's this past week.  On Easter morning, I weighed in at 199.8 lbs!!!!  Wow, I never want to see a 2 in front of my weight numbers again- it is gone forever!!!!   It has been  a long time since I have weighed 199 lbs.  Now,  I get to buy that pair of jeans that have been waiting on the rack for me to buy them.  It was a great victory for me and I am celebrating the small victories because these are the things that keep me going!  I will take a picture of me in my new jeans  when I find the right pair!!

Jennise's Week 12 & 13 SLump-Can you Help???

Okay, so last week I did not write and I have no excuse for myself, other than that I truly forgot.  Week 12 was a hard week and I found myself feeling a little overwhelmed about the whole weight-loss journey.  I had not felt this before and it was quite menacing; I felt very alone and sad and very, very tired.  I wondered if it was truly worth all the work I was putting into it and if I could ever realize my weight-loss goals.  I felt very frustrated and simiply down in the dumps.  I cared enough to work-out a little and keep tabs on my eating, but I truly was in a slump and didn't know if I was going to come out of it!!  I don't know if anyone has felt this way before, but I did and it was not fun.  My sweet husband kept reminding me that I am worth it and that I have come so far to get weighed down and it helped, but I needed to realize it for myself.  It is just hard to think that for a lifetime, I will be battling the bulge and always have weight issues.  I guess if you think about it in that light, it does seem pretty dark and grim, but then I got to thinking; I have come so far, I am better now than I was even  2 months ago.  I have a lifetime to live and be healthy instead of spending my time on the couch and feeling helpless.  I can exercise and change my life now so that I have a future with my family and not a lifetime of health problems.  I guess I am lucky that I can exercise and have the means to buy healthy food and have a suport system to help me out in this journey because there are a lot of people that cannot and do not have what I have.  I am really lucky and have been very blessed in my life.  When I thought a bout these things, a light went on in my head and I got it.  Sure, it may be tough and hard and a long journey, but I am worth it and my health is worth it!!!!  Bye, bye slump, please don't come back because I am on my way down on the scale and up in energy and life.Open-mouthed
 
This week has been a little better, I have felt more energized and have been better about eating.  I have exercised a little more and was able to take my daughter to the zoo and be outside adn that helps boost anyone's spirits.  I did get the flu Weds- today and have felt very nauseated, so I did not workout 2 days ,but I did workout today and felt a lot better!!!  I feel a lot more hopeful and know that I can do this; it is not impossible!!  I was talking with one of my friends and she gave me a lot of encouragement to continue onward and she said to jsut take one day at a time and try to do you best each day.  It does seem a little easier as you take the small steps toward the big goal, instead of trying to swallow the entire thing all at once.  Just one step at a time and I know I can do it!!!Light bulb

IMPORTANT Message to all of you
You've heard about people who have been abducted and had their kidneys removed by black-market organ thieves. Well, this kind of cruel theft is happening with other body parts as well. My thighs were stolen from me during the night a few years ago. I went to sleep and woke up with someone else's thighs. It was just that quick . The replacements had the texture of cooked oatmeal.Whose thighs were these and what happened to mine? I spent the entire summer looking for my thighs. Finally, hurt and angry, I resigned myself to living out my life in jeans. And then the thieves struck again.

My butt was next. I knew it was the same gang, because they took pains to match my new rear end to the thighs they had stuck me with earlier. But my new butt was attached at least three inches lower than my original! I realized I'd have to give up my jeans in favor of long skirts.

Two years ago I realized my arms had been switched. One morning I was fixing my hair and was horrified to see the flesh of my upper arm sway to and fro with the motion of the hairbrush. This was really getting scary - my body was being replaced one section at a time.? What could they do to me next?


When my poor neck suddenly disappeared and was replaced with a turkey neck, I decided to tell my story. Women of the world, wake up and smell the coffee! Those "plastic" surgeons are using REAL replacement body parts - stolen from you and me! The next time someone you know has something "lifted", look again - was it lifted from you?

THIS IS NOT A HOAX. This is happening to women everywhere every night.
WARN YOUR FRIENDS!

P.S. Last year I thought someone had stolen my boobs. I was lying in bed and they were gone! But when I jumped out of bed, I was relieved to see that they had just been hiding in my armpits as I slept. Now I keep them hidden in my waistband.

It happened to me, so BEWARE...

CELEBRATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is great that we are still in this together.  I am sad that alot of people are slacking off because this contest is over.  I am hoping that they get up, brush themselves off and get back on the journey.
 
Jennise and I have been reflecting on this contest and how it has given us such a great headstart on our journey.  We have created some pretty great habits for us and our families.  I will be greatful for a very long time to come.
 
I am so super proud of my partner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I got a phone call from her this morning telling me that she is under 200 lbs!  What a victory!  I am so happy for her!!!  Go Jennise!

Hey Jenn I saw your comment on someone else's blog about wanting to work out but not being able to, so in addition to the Turbo Jam I did yesterday morning, I went to the gym after the BL finale and did 1/2 hour of weights and 40 minutes on the elliptical.  I so didn't want to but that one was for you (the cardio) - Shanz
