The Winner Is.....

Congratulations....

Josh - total loss of 6.10%!!!

Congratulations to everyone.


We didn't lose as much during the second season but that is to be expected, we had less people and well it is harder to lose weight the more that you lose. We lost 40 total pounds this time. Which if you add the two seasons together then we have lost 140lbs - which is a person!!! Pretty awesome huh. I am thinking about waiting until after vacation to start any other season. But I will keep this blog open and going for those who want support or help with their weight loss.

Love you all -
Katie

First Challenge as Promised!!

Hello Family
How many of you have looked at the food pyramid lately?? I remember looking at it in school but it has been along time since I have really paid attention to the information. For the first challenge Barb had suggested something with eating your fruits and veggies. That is what led me to look at the food pyramid again. I was wanting to find out what the recommended amount of fruits and veggies had changed to. I was surprised when I found the site with the information - they no longer has a one size fits all approach to nutritional value. So that leads me to the first part of the challenge. Since we are all different I can't just assign a number a fruits and veggies for you to eat each day. So I would like everyone to long on the http://mypyramid.gov/ do some snooping around and find out what they recommend for you. On the left side of the mypyramid page click on "MyPyramid Plan". From there you enter your personal information and it will tell you what the daily recommended values are for you. You will need to look this up before the start of our week on Monday because starting next week you will be eating according to the recommended values. We will start with fruits and veggies next week. Have fun with the site - it has a lot of good information there. And if you want to share what they recommend for you I think it would be interesting to see how the recommendations change the age and gender.

They recommended 3 cups of veggies and 2 cups of fruits for me.

Let me know if you have any questions
Love
Katie

TBL - Rettele Style - Season Two

Well we have officially started season two. WooHoo!!! How is everyone doing?? Are we finding more motivation this time around?? We are loving the warm weather - we go for walk/jogs almost every night.

At Easter it was mentioned that you want to do more challenges - if you have any suggestions on what you would like to see let me know.

This is just for fun - so you don't have to participate if you don't want to. I know we all have made some healthy changes in our eating habits. But I don't want you to get stuck in a rut so.... I challenge you to try something new in the produce selection. Just make sure to post a comment about what you picked and if you liked it or not - make sure to add the recipe if you used one. www.greenlitebites.com has a lot of different veggie ideas if you need some inspiration. Just have fun with it.

Keep up the Awesome work!

Love
Katie
