My Loser

Mckay, Nick, and my dad decided to lose some weight after the holidays. They all weight in around 210 on New Year's Day and decided that by my dad's birthday, March 21, they wanted to be down to 185.

My dad has the ability to think about weight loss, and weight just falls off him! He says that sitting in the hot tub is his exercise because he sweats and his heart rate goes up. As we expected, thinking about the goal was enough and my dad made it to 185.

BEFORE

Nick knew that the weigh-in date was coming, but it always seemed like a long way off. The week before the weigh-in Nick went on the cabbage soup diet and lost 16 pounds in 1 week! Not the healthiest way to do, but Nick made it to 187. Pretty stinkin' good!

Mckay decided that he didn't want people asking if his face was swollen anymore, so he really wanted to lose all he could. He cut back portions to a HUGE degree, started eating 5 small meals each day, and upped his daily walks. He began walking 3-4 times each day, and then added running. It was a long, slow process, but Mckay now weighs less than 180 and feels like a new person! His knees and back are much better now and he can do so many more things without pain.  He looks 10 years younger!

AFTER

 They called it a draw because they all got so close to the goal, but I think I'm the winner in this one. I have an occasional running partner (Mckay runs 6.2 miles every Saturday and 3 miles on the week days!) and am married to a hottie. Way to babe!
