Those books are HEAVY!!!!
Okayā¦ so Iām feeling pretty damn good about myself. This week, I lost 3 lbs Uhmā¦ Thatās NINE FREEKINā LBS LOST!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! OHHHH MYYYY GOSHHHHH!!!!!!
When we visited Lauren on Wednesday, she said that my face was looking thinner. I donāt see any difference yetā¦ but WOWZERSā¦NINE POUNDS!!! YEAHHH!!!!
As ALLLLL of you already know, Heather Cole is my weight loss buddyā¦ which I encourage you ALL to do! Itās SO great calling her up when Iām down in the dumps about having to go out to eat and then getting WAY overly depressed about it when I get homeā¦. she picks me RIGHT back up. And just an FYIā¦ HEATHER COLE IS A SKINNY BETTY!!!!! She lost 2.9 lbs this week Go check out her blog to see how sheās doing it. Oh, and be sure to tell her how SPICY she is
Iām SOOOO incredibly proud of EVERY single one of you for signing on to this healthier lifestyle thing with us. You guys keep me motivated and excited about losing weight. I know that some of you are looking at the āweightā photos that I post here every Friday here for inspiration, I wonāt lieā¦ itā s a bit of pressure BUTā¦ it inspires me to keep working hard at losing weight.
One thing that I did noticeā¦ some of you who are talking about your weight loss here are referring to it as āONLY one poundā or āa measly two poundsā¦ā or āI didnāt lose ANYTHING! ā And shut that up! Thatās a pound you didnāt gain. Be proud of it! Hereās my favorite comment from last week, āI only lost 1 pound. DoesnĆ¢ā¬ā¢t seem like much until I tried to picture what 4 quarter-pounders would look plastered in odd places on my bodyĆ¢ā¬Ā¦then it seemed like A LOT! That visualization was because of YOU Bobbi! I didnĆ¢ā¬ā¢t take a photo of any burgers but I think you get the idea.ā I think that comment sums it ALLLLLLL up! So, work it out you guys!!!!!
And hereās our list of the participants. If someone didnāt report their weight loss last week, I assumed they didnāt want to be listedā¦ so I simply removed their name No biggie. If you EVER want to join us, itās never too late. You can join any time! (just comment below)

Congrats for you with another 3 pounds!!! No loss for me this week : / but I guess its better to lose nothing then gain somethingā¦right?!? Congrats to everyone with their prgression thus farā¦
Yeah baby! Thatās a LOT OF WEIGHT!! MEOW girl, meow!
very awesome!!! so proud of you! that is such an incredible accomplishment, a lot of people donāt realize how hard it is to just lose 1 pound for some of us. anyway, big ups to you! we should join in on this, itās so hard to get motivated. you know what would REALLY motivate us? if you could promise us that if we lost weight we could be as good as you!!! ok, iām waitingā¦ *tapping fingers *
P. FREAKIN S. 90 lbs off our FAT BUTTS! THAT IS FREAKIN BAD ASS!! Iām so proud of everyone. Dude, Iām seriousā¦how awesome is that.
Also ā I totally love that you talked about āonlyā losing one pound. DUDE, you are so right. One pound is ONE FREAKIN pound. Did you know that 3,500 calories makes up ONE pound. Yepā¦so when you think itās small potatoes to āONLYā lose one pound remember how many calories you didnāt take in or burned off to lose that.
ROCK ON EVERYONE! WHoo ho.
Meow,

Long time visitor, first time poster. I just want to say how inspiring this is for me. I really want/need to lose about 20 lbs. and it always seems so daunting & that itāll take forever. Seeing you and how successful youāve been at this is really making me realize that I need to stop talking & start actually doing. Itās one thing to read each month in Allure magazine how the women with the trainers/dietitians/etc. etc. etc. lose 20 pounds a month, but to watch a fellow Indiana photographer do it every week just makes it so much more realistic & relatable. So, I guess what Iām trying to say is thank you, congratulations & WOW!
I lost 2 lbs!
well, i fell off the wagon when we made a crazy 2 day 10 hour drive in the all day rain to get our belongings from storage and i ate too much junk. i gained 2 lbs back. butā¦i happily report that i am back on track and am now at 5 lbs lost total so Iām pretty much back to where I was last time. itās amazing that just 2 lbs more and i can feel the roll hanging over my pants. 2 lbs lighter and itās gone. (I know thatās a gross visual)
and for you not noticing it. wait till you look back at pictures. youāll say āwow..look at me now!ā
congrats on the 6!
Bobbi ā I checked out your blog thru Heatherās and then just saw you on Laurenāsā¦your work is awesome, and I just wanted to say how much I am getting a kick out of your weight loss images! Hope to meet you at WPPI. I need a kick in the butt too so put me on the list and I will try to contribute some lost weight too.
Bobbi! I was going to tell you, but didnāt know if it was appropriate, but, now that you bring it up, in those pictures of Laurenās birthday you look dang FINE girl!
And Iām loving your photos of the āpoundsā each week. So creative. 
way to go!!!! and thank youā¦for reminding me that i didnāt gainā¦.but after 4 session of 90min HOT yogaā¦i was hoping for something!!! that and if i loose 15 lbs by march there is a new lens for me!!!
I wanna see pics!!!! (not of you silly, of MIKEY!!!)
Way to go everyone! I am so impressed with not only the weight loss, but the rockin support system going on here. You guys are amazing!
Ya know, I have a ton of books myselfā¦Iām gonna get 5 pounds worth and take it all in because it seems the only place Iām losing weight so far is in my hands (my rings are very loose)! But one of my BFFs made a comment about my face being slimmer and my belly not being as much of a belly ā and that was a complimentā¦.sheās had her own weight battle so sheās allowed to say that!
I have nothing to report this Friday because I took a pass and skipped my weigh in. Itās just so gloomy outside and I wasnāt feelinā it. But next week should be even better since Iāll be getting two weeks worth.
And I agreeā¦.no loss means NO GAIN. Celebrate EVERY lossā¦ even the 0.10 loss is a win in my book!!
Congrats!!
Yeah for you, Bobbi!!! You are seriously doing AWESOME! A few pounds the first week can be common but to continue that trend is amazing!!! Woo Hoo!!!
Well I ā āOnly lost one poundāā- but I am proud of myself for really REALLY sicking to my plan this week & even getting a couple of workouts in! I plan to gain muscle as well as lose fat, so Iām not too concerned about the scale. I can feel my body starting to change a little & thatās a good sign!!!
Itās funny how I can spend two years gaining weight and am bummed when it doesnāt all fall off in two weeks!!!! We ALL have to keep at it!!!!! THANKS FOR THE MOTIVATION!!! YOU ALL ROCK!
And Bobbiā love the photos!
Iād love to join in! We just started the Biggest Loser at work and I need all the motivation I can get!!
Congrats Bobbi! You are kicking ass!!!! I lost .5 lbs. Yes, half a pound. It totally counts!
Hey you!! CONGRATSS!!!! Awesome!!
As you may recall, I am not focusing on losing weight, but toning up! Well guess what, missy?!? Jenny finally stepped up to the plate and worked out 3 days this week!! One of those days was for a few hours, too, so that could almost count as two days
j/k I wonāt cheat like that. But three days is my goal every week and I made it this week! The fam and I even went to the Y and played raquetball today! It was super fun! Kai is hilarious with itā¦ He loves it, and bless his 6-year-old heart because he TRIES.. but coordination is not one of his stronger points! I couldnāt love him any other way, though and we had a great time 
Keep up the good work and the motivation!
Jenny
Oh Bobbi, your Momba is so proud of you. I still havenāt replaced my not so accurate scale. But according to the bouncing needle, after stepping on and off several times, I have lost 3 lbs. I going to have to break down and go for the big investment, all puns intended. Congratulations Litttle Love.
Momba
Can I join the losing-our-fat-butts spree, too? I have lost 0 lbs since joining 30 seconds ago. But I didnāt gain any pounds, eitherā¦:-P
2 lbs for me!
I started Wt. Watchers on Mondayā¦but i did weigh Friday and have lost 3 lbsā¦..probably lots of water weight, but i will take it!
WOW!! You are doing great!!!! Keep at it!!!
congratulations!! 9 lbs. is so great! i would love to join you.. iāve just started up and have lost 1.5 lbs this week!!
1 lbā¦Boo Hissā¦But the hearts still pumping and that is a good thing! As long as I keep under my husbands weightā¦.HA! Iām good to go!
bobbi that rocks dude. iāve lost 6 lbs total, my goal is 30!!! what r u doing to lose so much? what did u cut out and how often do u exercise.
congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OKā¦..Iām SO late in reporting my ālossesā each week ā sorry!!!!

This past week = 2 pounds gone! Gone? Where did they go you ask?
WHO CARES because they sure as heck arenāt on my hiney any more!
As we know Iām late to the party, but I have a starting weight now! So watch out, next week I hope to have a couple of pounds to add to our weight loss total!
1 Lb for meā¦ I need some energy so I can go to the gym and lose some more!! =)
Ugghhhā¦ no weight loss but after reading your blog I guess you are RIGHT! None gained eitherā¦. LOL much happier now thank you Bobbi!
Okay I havenāt lost any additional pounds, but that means I havenāt gained any either. Howeverā¦. I did run 3 miles x 3 days this week. So Iām toning up and muscle weighs more than flubberā¦right???
Thanks for keeping us all positive Bobbi!!!!!!!
you go girl, iām so proud of you!!!
Sorry about last week! My weigh-ins havenāt been all that successful (as in nothing lost) but multiple people have mentioned that I look like Iām loosing weight. That has to count for something, right?
Feb 1st and the beginning of heart healthy monthā¦with only 1 lb. loss this week i am disappointed but i know my heart is lovinā me ācuz i AM eating only healthy!! Canāt wait to hear how you and everyone has done!!! You all are an inspiration!
[ā¦] of all I have to come clean with something. In our Bobbi and Mike, biggest photographer loser challenge, Cathy and I slipped up. We gained weight. Yes. Between the [ā¦]
