Donnie and I went to our meeting this morning.  Another great week.  I am down 2.8 more lbs, and Donnie is down another lb.

We are down a total of 15.8 lbs, or 2.73%.  We have decided that we are going to have to start exercising more than usual.  We are on the road to success.

Donnie and I are glad to be off of vacation and back to normal.  We were very concious of what we ate.  We tried to share as many meals as possible, since most restaurants give you way too much food for one person.  This was a great opportunity to enforce portion control.  I look forward to our weigh in this Friday morning.

Week 1 - Donnie is down 7.4 lbs and I am down 4.6 lbs.  A total weight loss of 12 lbs together.  We are excited about our 1st week.  We will continue to look forward and never go back.

Donnie (my husband) and I have been happily married for almost 12 years now.  We met when I was going to NC State University in 1992 and have been in love ever since.  We have been struggling with weight ever since we can remember.  We have been struggling with infertility and feel that most of that comes from stress and obesity.  With this weight loss, we pray that our bodies with rebound and we will be able to have the children that we so desperately long for. 

We are entering this contest to change our lives and our health.  Donnie and I both have a competitive nature and this contest gives us the motivation we need.  We are combining the Weight Watchers program with an exercise routine to lose the weight correctly.  We know that it will be an uphill battle, but we plan to be the King & Queen of the Hill. 

The reason that we feel that our team should win this contest, is because we have so much to offer each other and the world.  Our team should win this contest because we want to motivate others.  We have so much love to give, that we want to share it.  Donnie and I have been planning on fostering/adopting children in the coming year, but we want to be sure that we are there for them.  We want to be the example that they need and want to give them all the love they deserve.

Donnie and I have decided that we need to begin our lives again.  This time we are going to do it better.  We have let our bodies get away from us and we plan on taking them back.  I have a goal weight of 175 lbs (a loss of 75 lbs., currently 248) and Donnie has a goal weight of 220 lbs. (a loss of 111 lbs., currently 331).  We have a combined current weight of 579 and have a goal weight loss of 186 lbs.
