Here we go.. Well we are super exicted to do this with all of you! It is going to a fun challenge with so many people. I have never blogged so SORRY if this sounds lame! Robs weightloss story begins with high school, he was always big in highschool and about 7 yrs ago he lost about 90 lbs. Then we got married in 2006 and he gained some weight, then we had a baby in 2008 and we have a 7 month old and off course he gained pregancy weight along with me. His ultimate goal is to loose 70lbs, but by june he would like to loose at least 40lbs.
Ashley's weightloss or weightgain I guess is what started this, thats why I need this weightloss challenge. Well like a lot of people mine started after I got married, we were married in 2006 and two years into our marriage I gained 20 lbs and I didn't think it was a problem because although I had gained that weight I was still wearing the same size jeans. I was always a size 7-8 and I would love to get back to that. That is one of my goals! I grew up being very active no matter the weather. We lived for the outdoors. So having extra weight makes things a little harder to do that. After being married for 2 years we got pregnant and had our wonderful little boy in may of 2008. I gained 40 lbs with him and then I lost 20 after his birth. I was only 10 lbs away from being back down to the weight I was before I had him, and then slowly the weight started to come back. When my son was about 2 I had gained back what I had lost with him and gained all the weight back. When I got pregant with our second little boy I weighed as much as I did when I was 9 months pregnant with my first son. Ugh.. We had our little boy in july of 2011 and I gained 30 with him and lost 20 and gained 10 back. I kept thinking I needed to do something about it and would just get depressed and not know where to start. I hate even looking at pictures of myself, so this will be a good way to really motivate me. So here I am! I love competitions and I am looking forward to this challenge. My ultimate weightloss goal is 60 lbs. I am hoping to loose 30-40 lbs with this challenge.
We are still working out our game plan. So far our plan is to do a low calorie diet, and I will have to do this fitness pal that everyone is doing. Sounds great! We will also be working out 3x a week. I want to do a 5k this summer, so I will be running once or twice a week to begin with. We will have a cheat day on sundays, but it will be a very small cheat day! We eliminated pop from our everyday diet a month ago. I has been great! We plan to do 3 meals a day with 3 small snacks in between. And drink lots of water!! Here we go! Have a great 4 months everyone! :)
