Losing!

John, My mom, and I have joined the 50MillionPound challenge online. We are Team Gilbert and together we have lost 17 pounds so far. We are all on a mission to get healthier and shed a few pounds of f-a-t.
I like this website because we can do it as a team, and track our weight loss, we can input our exercise, how long, what type. and we can keep a journal if we choose. As the team leader, I send out messages to my teammates with motivational words to help keep us moving and eating right. there are so many sites out there, the only reason I chose this one is because we can be a team and do it together, and sort of hold one another accountable.
so far so good. The key is to do it slow and steady. At times I would love to do it the way they do on the Biggest Loser, but for my lifestyle that just isn't going to happen. I have other things to do during the day. Life on the ranch would be fun, hard, lonely, tiring, amazing! however, I would miss my family way too much. I will take the weight off at home and do it slowly and sensibly. that way I can still be here with my John, and Damon and accomplish the other things I have going on in my life. I love a good trip to the gym, however, i don't have a problem working out at home too. the gym is a long drive and some nights I admit the last thing I feel like doing is driving 30 minutes just to get on a treadmill when I could pop in one of my Leslie Sansone walking/running DVD's and do it right here in my living room. Getting on the Wii is fun some days too. And then there is always music to dance to. LOL if I was doing all that, every day, I would be losing weight faster.
On another note, we are getting closer to our move date and getting so excited. I can't wait to leave Ketchikan, and relocate.
