My First Big Milestone

I know Chris hasn't posted the updates yet but I haven't posted in a few days and I wanted share my first real milestone. I have officially lost 10% of my starting weight!!!!

I knew it was in sight last week and I really wanted it to happen this week. I honestly didn't think it would because at the beginning of the week I had gained a little.

And now for something completely different....

One of the main reasons Chris and I wanted to challenge another couple to lose weight was to ensure that we would stay motivated. It's not really a news flash but Chris is very competitive and when we would diet together, it would turn into a competition between the two of us and that would totally shut me down. But he needs the competition to stay motivated so we turned it into a competition with Mom and Dad.

Over the last month, I have consistently lost more pounds and a greater percentage than Chris. At the beginning of the last week I had gained a little weight and he was already down 4 lbs. I was so upset that I wasn't beating him anymore - especially because he had salad with real oil and vinegar dressing and lobster with butter this week. He did lose more than me this week but I have a feeling that I'll be back on top next week. I had no idea how great it was to "compete" with each other until I started winning. I know we're on the same team but, I'M STILL BEATING HIM!! Hehehe - I love you baby!

AND WE'RE STILL BEATING MOM AND DAD!!! Hehehe - I love you guys!
