The Weight Loss Challenge

Josh and I weighed ourselves today and set our goals for getting healthy again! (We also took "before" pictures that are just too frightening to post.) After working full-time and going to school full-time we put on quite a bit of weight and now with no more school or pregnancy we no longer have any excuses for being overweight. Here are some of our goals:

Jamie: 47 pounds to lose, 22 by Christmas, 25 by March

Josh: 56 pounds to lose, 26 by Christmas, 30 by March

How we are going to get there:
Eating:
Jamie: Daily Caloric intake: 1600 calories. No soda, no candy

Josh: Daily Caloric intake: 1890 calories.

Exercising:


During the winter it will be harder to exercise, but here are two tools I have found to enjoy exercising indoors. Immediately after putting Lillie to bed for the night I will be doing the 30-day shred followed by cycling.

We will be updating our results each week and hopefully this will help us make progress!
