Weekly Upate from Tootsie

Whew what a week, trying to start this journey to lose my 60 by 2013. Have really tried hard to change my eating habits and I know this is going to be slow. I must Pray and ask God's help. At my age, I have to change now. Next New Years, I am going to be in a skinny bling dress that we make me look like the cutie I am. Just wait until you see mine and Pudgy's pretty faces. Just been sitting on fat bodies hehe It has been easier to watch my eating than to exercise. I have lost 3lbs this week, wish it had been 10, but I will take it. Keep supporting us . JOY

Weekly update from Pudgy....

OK, so it's been 1 week since this weight loss journey began. I have been really good in the foods I'm eating...just maybe need to cut back some more. I'm walking 1/2 mile to 1 mile a day....that's 1/2 mile to 1 mile more than I was doing the week before. Also doing some butt exercises my daughter showed me.....
Last night's dinner was the best of the week: Bed of Arugula topped with a small grilled pork chop and a cup of roasted butternut squash and broccoli....it was so yummy!
I'm drinking at least 96 oz. of water every day...some days more. It's a good thing I love water so much!
Now it's the weekend and we usually go out to dinner, but I've decided for 2 weeks, we'll eat at home until I feel comfortable or trust myself enough to choose wisely......I hope Tootsie is doing well....we call each other every other day to check our progress.

                 Until next time....Pudgy

Workouts are not fun...unless you workout together!

Tootsie and Pudgy sometime work out together...but ususally work out alone. It is easier when you have a buddy to encourage you.

What we look like today!

The beginning.....

Welcome to the journey of two ladies, both in their 60's and friends for life. They have always done things together, so together they will achieve a goal that has eluded them for 20 years.They were unable to fulfill their dreams of becoming skinny on one of those big time weight loss shows, or appearing as a guest just to hear what the "doctor's" have to say.  Maybe it was the fact that they were just to lazy to stand in line for the interview. Could that be what has brought them here in the first place? They ask for your support, encouragement and prayers as they begin this journey.

Their names will remain a secret until the 12 month journey has ended. The names that you will know them as are Tootsie and Pudgy.

About Tootsie - She weighs 219 and is 5 feet 4 inches tall. (She's not too tiny, LOL.) Her goal is to lose 60 lbs by January 1, 2013. Her dress size today is 18W. She's truly a fat little Totie Fields....she's very funny and has a fat, cute little face!

About Pudgy - She weighs in at 182 and is 5 feet 6 inches tall. Her goal is to lose 40 pounds by January 1, 2013. Her dress size is 16. She imagines herself in a size 10 skinny jean....but until then, her neck is like a turkey gobbler and her belly shakes like a bowl full of jelly.

They are a MESS!.....but, "they is smart, they is kind, and they is important!!"

Please follow this blog as they post their diet, exercise, and daily regimen. It will be so very hard and surely they will be hungry and sore!
