Official Chaz Weight Loss Challenge Thread

well, today was my first day doing weight watchers. It was ok. I'm doing the core plan for anybody who is familiar. I know you have to use "common sense" when you figure out your portions, but common sense isnt how i got here..... lol

so im a bit worried that my idea of a large baked potato differs from that of ww.

Been trying to eat healthier and be more active instead of hogging the computer when I get home... guess it's a perfect day to start that (tomorrow). Okay, don't make fun, but:
every morning I have a cup of chocolate milk, then for snack an orange juice and breakfast bar, lunch is always different, then when I get home I have chocolate milk and a small snack, then for dinner it's whatever and a coke and when I get home it's the computer.

I'm going to try this:

(1) Eat Healthier
- Water each morning // afternoon instead of chocolate milk
- One Coke a day
- Veggies & Fruits
- No Junk Food
(2) Work out More
(3) Do Something active Instead of Computer
- Beach
- YMCA
- Dance Dance revolution on Ps2
- Jump Rope
- Run Daily
LIMITED TO 1 HOUR ON COMPUTER EACH DAY

I think I'll try that and then... my weight prizes...

5 pounds = New Book (call me geek, whatever)
10 pounds = New Haircut
15 pounds = New Clothes from Hollister (where I always shop)
20 pounds = New Shoes
25 pounds = Pedicure
30 pounds = New Puppy !!

Final weigh in for our 12 week program tonight. If I'm down and my wife is down, we should be 1 and 2 in our contest. My daughter is in a three way battle for 3rd, so hopefully we'll go 1, 2, 3.

Wish us luck!

Well, I was down another 3 tonight, for a total of 24.4 pounds lost over the 12 week program. My wife was down another 2.2 for a total of 30.8 pounds lost and my daughter was down another .4 pounds for a total of 15.6 pounds lost. My family lost a total of 70.8 pounds over this program. Now it's just up to the leader to calculate the percentages. Total pot is around 700 bucks, with first prize being 50%, 2nd being 30% and third being 20%. We find out next Thursday.

Meg I like you weight goals.

Well I gained a few pounds in Florida... only about 2 or 3. Cause of how much we ate and we didnt really exercise, besides jump in the ocean and ride the banana boat.

But today I walked 1/2 mile. Tomorrow i'll start at 1 mile... and continue the 1 mile through next tuesday and then start 1 1/2 mile.
I am eating less cause I use to eat about 4-5 large meals a day and now I'm eating 3 smaller meals a day plus a healthy snack. (smaller meals meaning about half of a portion of what I use to eat.)

Just heard from our weight loss group leader. My wife and I came in number 1 and 2. My daughter didn't cash, she came in 5th, but hey, that's still top five.

We just got back. Wife won $400. I won $240. Nice to get an extra 600 bucks - heading for vacation in a couple of weeks.
