Bragging rights

OK, I know that my kids did not sign up for this contest. Still as a proud parent I need to brag about their weight loss - plus, it improves our family stats quite a bit! Here's what Jacob and Ariel have accomplished:

Jacob - start 200 in Jan, currently 165 (17.5% loss)
Ariel - start 185.2 in July, currently 156.2 (15.7% loss)

(Which means both Jacob and Ariel weigh less than I do)

And so... ta da! the family totals:

Start: 748.2
Currently: 683.2
Loss: 65 lbs, 8.7% (thanks to Jacob and Ariel)

Really, hopefully this inspires me to follow Jacob and Ariel's example and get back on track! On the good side, by summer I was 4 pounds up, so now I'm actually 8 pounds down from my July high. Hopefully I will continue in the right direction.

I have just browsed through the blog, and I am glad to see everyone trying to keep going. I have learned a lot since I started to lose this last summer, and I hope you guys can all do just as well. Keep going!

tip-of-the-day: Drink 6 glasses of water a day, it helps a lot with weight loss and health in general.
