Please bear with us - this whole blog thing is new to us. What will people be excited to read about? About how we are all overweight & struggling to lose it.... isn't most of America? We watch The Biggest Loser every season and think to ourselves "if those people can do this we should be able to do this" and then we go grab a bowl of ice cream and finish watching the show. Sound familiar?
Well, 2010 shall be different! I know, it's January and every thinks "this is the year" for losing that extra weight.... But we want this to be a place of motivation & support to keep everyone going for longer than January. We want to post helpful advice we find, workout videos, websites, ect... that will help keep us motivated & maybe help out other people too.
As you can tell my the title of our blog we have found Hungry Girl at www.hungry-girl.com and have bought the cookbooks as well. If you want to find some healthy recipes that actually taste good check out this website. We have tried several of them & haven't had one that doesn't taste good yet.
We have decided that doing Weight Watchers points is the easiest way to eat the right things & stay on track so we are going to be using the WW system.
As for exercise.... 2 of us are using the Wii Fit and it is a pretty good workout and pretty fun to do. I have tried the Active personal trainer for the Wii but I am having trouble with the sensors working when I am moving so that is frustrating. If anyone out there actually knows how to get this thing to work right let me know!
I can say for sure that the Jillian 30 Day Shred is a killer workout! I have only done the beginner level and it is painful. I have bought 2 other Biggest Loser workout DVDs & Leslie Samson (love her!) walking video that I haven't tried yet but will give my opinion soon!
So, it's really all about staying motivated & sticking with the program. I will end our first post here as I don't know what is too long and if this is interesting at all. Best of luck to everyone out there trying to lose the weight again, I hope this is the last time you have to make this your resolution!
Day One- feeling great. I went Mall Walking with Blake for 40 minutes. We went 2 miles :). Going to the movies this afternoon and wondering if I should just pick up some check mix to munch on b/c at least I would know the calories. I'm afraid to get the popcorn.
