Sure… I didn’t meet my short term Christmas goal of 16.5 lbs and am a bit disappointed in myself as I could have gone to the gym a few more times but I’m still INCREDIBLY proud for losing what I did π I’m also happy that I’m losing it at a healthy rate… π I don’t want a bunch of skin hanging from me when I get down to goal weight so, whatever… SUCCESS!!!!!
Enough about me… let’s talk about you!

I can’t WAIT to hear how many of you reached your goal!!!! And well… even if you didn’t, I still love you… and am INCREDIBLY proud of you for sticking with it. π I’ll post the results of the people who reached goal next week π
Now let’s set a new short-term goal for Valentine’s Day (or WPPI π ).

I have a feeling that we’re going to have a bunch of new people joining us this week… π Just a hunch.
Now, to celebrate all things that were 2008… a little personal bobbi+mike slideshow to sum up our year. π This made me cry… what an absolutely PHENOMENAL year this has been π And we have the photos to prove it!!!!!
I love you Mikey!
love love love!

PS. I need to bring my point and shoot out and about more… There are lots of things that we did that we don’t have photos from π Oh well… I still love that slideshow!
PPS. I still haven’t edited my photos from Vegas… so thanks to Heather’s blog and Becker’s blog that I even have those few… EEEEEEEKS!!!! I PROMISE I’ll get to them SOMEday!
YAY you! Since the last weigh in I have lost another 3.6 so down a total of 13lbs now! YIPPEE!! Still hanging on to my 25lb goal by WPPI!
I didn’t quite meet my goal, but I lost another pound. Good enough for me! I’m relatively happy. Now if I can get off my chair more often, I’ll lose even more!!
Good job on your weight loss! Both of you did awesome!!
OK… Add me to list. My pants are tight and I am NOT… I repeat NOT buying bigger ones.
What an awesome slideshow Bobbi…there are so many cute pictures of you and Mike on there! I think my personal faves are you in the hot pink shirt on the beach…whoa hot momma, you look absolutely gorgeous in that photo! π and Mike sword fighting his younger brother and flying in the air….soooo freakin funny! Congrats to a wonderful and successful 2008 for you two and *knowing* that 2009 will be just as good and better…because you are good peeps, yo!
p.s. keep it up with the healthy train! π
hugs…happy new year!!!
You guys rock! Congrats on 12 pounds down, even though with your bubbly smile, that’s all that you need to look beautiful!
AWESOME slideshow! It just gives me such a good warm and fuzzy feeling on the inside! I’m such a creepster and look forward to your blog posts so much. They always make me smile ( : Good job Bobbi (I think you are kickin’ everyones butt, especially mine!) down .5 lbs. Hooray for ’09!
congrats on the accomplishment. you two are so cute and I adore your photographic skills. hopefully I can convince one of my many soon to be married friends that they need you haha
happy new year!
That is the coolest slideshow EVERRR! Y’all (yup i’m in south carolina) have been so blessed with your talent!! You guys ROCK!
p.s. i’m down .5, kinda bummed so ill hit the gym some more. I would like to be down 10 more lbs by Vday…so a total of 23 i guess.
Goodness! You guys did have an amazing year. I can’t wait to see what this year has to bring.
I’m so happy you included that beach shot of you, the one with the non bobbi smile? You look so serene, like everyone who’s chilling at the beach should.
Thanks for sharing your year with us.
Awwwwwwww! We loved it! We just watched it two times in a row, and yes, it choked me up too! (Um, you put a photo of us shooting in your slideshow? You guys are precious!!!) This makes me miss you even more darn it!
BTW, I think I spied Corrie’s baby at the end! OMG that baby grew up fast!!!!
Oh goodness, so many great memories! We are honored to have shared a couple of those with you.
Cheers to 2009 sweeties! (Though no running into doors this year, OK?) Oh, and maybe we should shoot another wedding this year, just for old times sake. ;-D
LOVE YA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PS Who made that AWESOME cake??????? Lauren?
I don’t know what I’m supposed to do, but count me in on the weight loss thing — I’m back on my diet starting Monday! Maybe this will keep me motivated! (love your photography by the way)
I *heart* my iPhone for the random life photos it makes me take. After I got good camera gear, I stopped taking personal photos and found that I really missed it. The iPhone changed all of that! The only downside is that it has no flash. BOOOOO!
Go you, you skinny thing!
I gained .2 pounds over the holidays…better than it could have been I suppose!! lol
Time to really get serious about this. π
Alright already, put me on that list! I am shooting for 15lbs!
Hello! I’ve been reading the blog and enjoying the pictures for awhile now, and I think it’s time to jump on the healthy train. My roommate is getting married in July and I’ve decided that I am not going to be the fat bridesmaid! I haven’t been happy about the way I handle my body for awhile, so this is just the encouragement I need. The dress she picked is strapless and adorable, and so I need to tone it all up.
My goal is 20 lbs by July 31st. I’m going out of the country in January though, so I’ll be weighing in starting in February!
So exciting!
Congrats on the 12 pounds! I actually gained a pound, but hey, it could be worse! Love the slideshow!
Ok, seriously? How stinkin’ CUTE are you guys? I looooove the slideshow! SO AWESOME!!!
Congratulations on your weight loss. Good reminder too that I need to weigh in for mine and do my measurements. I don’t think I’ve lost much weight, but I’ve kicked the soda habit and I’m drinking LOTS more water after 1 month. Next up: add in more fitness!
Hope your 2009 is even MORE awesome than 2008!!!
I just have ot say, you guys make me smile so much! I began “lurking” after really, really good friends of mine were married and used Kurtis. I started looking at their blog and then came across your blog and well, the rest is HISTORY! I have checked out your blog a few times EVERY week for over a year! I LOVE how much you both just love life. It’s so amazing and the joy you give to others is contagious! Thank you…while I have never had the opportunity to have you “shoot” for me or my family, I feel like I’ve been blessed to just experience life through your lens! God bless you both!
Gosh!! Your post made my heart happy. AND the sad “I just ran into the door” picture between the stellar bobbi+mike action shots had the lols going. Love you guys and a very Happy Happy 09!
ps-I’m using a pass card for this weigh-in…I know I didn’t see anything in the rules about a pass card but I am really far away from Indy and you can’t make me get on the scale:P Promise I’ll be back next week!
Hi Bobbi – As a married couple woking together you and Mike are a real inspiration to us, and the slideshow is just so cool. Thanks for being such a wonderful member of our worldwide photographer community!
Hey I am interested in joining in the weight loss challenge- how do I sign up?
Cheers, Antony
Lurve it.
you know, your photography makes me want to get married simply to have you two shoot the wedding… i love your style!! π
awesome slide show; awesome year; can’t wait to see what ’09 brings you!!
I got caught up in the Holiday Season and traveling for 2 weeks without a good workout. +4 lbs for me. Finally settled in back home, I”m ready to get serious! My goal for Valentines day is 8 lbs. I think that’s very achievable. As always, thanks for doing this Healthy Train, and your slideshow rocked! π
WOOHOO on 12 pounds that is awesome!!! The slideshow is great…I love your guys blog and follow it like a stalker π
So I maintained during the holidays..no gain, no loss… ok with me!!! So since Nov. 7th I have lost 14 pounds!!! I am back strict on my plan from my nutrition coach and we have a serious goal of 25-30 pounds by mid-Feb.
Lost .5 pound….more importantly have only missed one day at the gym this week!
Giovanna

Bobbi –
You know I’m SOOO proud of you. You are such an amazing person inside and out, and I couldn’t be happier that you have lost 12 lbs! You look AMAZING!
The slideshow…of course made me cry. So many wonderful moments of 2008. I’m so blessed that I have had the opportunity to be apart of your life as well as Mikeys. I never in a million years knew there was someone out there in the world that was JUST LIKE ME!
I love you like a sister and I’m so grateful for you.
I love you.
Did I mention, I love you.
If I didn’t, I love you. π
Hugs – here’s to an AWESOME 2009!!
Heather

hugs
Congrats on loosing 12lbs bobbi. When i weighed myself last friday i’d lost 2.8lbs..this friday thou i’d lost nothing..stayed the same…ah well. I didnt get anywhere near my xmas goal but i think im heading in the right direction…more losses than gains…so by v-day i want to have lost another 7lbs on top of my original xmas goal.
Congrats on the body transformation! Loved the slideshow soooo much! Posts like this is one reason why I haven’t missed a blog posting of yours since like 2006.
Aww. I love your slideshow!!! The music makes me smile.
I think my goal is 15 more pounds. That seems like a lot right now. I haven’t lost any in quite awhile!
Bobbi I have hesitated to join…don’t know why… I have lost almost 50lbs since July 2008…,maybe you should add me. I still have about 30lbs to go. I want to be a HOT MAMMA when you shoot our family photos!!!!!
I’m super late…by a couple weeks…but I’ve lost 2 lbs!
Count me in! you know , it is the start of the year π
Looking forward to working with you this year!
Chad and I want to jump on your healthy train too! Last year we did the South Beach Diet and each lost 40 pounds (yay!) but have started to put it back on the last few months. We are starting back on South Beach today and I’m hoping to lose another 40 this year.
Great slideshow guys! It was really fun watching it and remembering all of the blog posts for the year. You both are so incredibly tallented. Hopefully we’ll be able to have you photograph our new little man sometime soon! I know it doesn’t really count because I was pregnant, but I’d like to try to join the weight loss train. I gained 26 lbs with my pregnancy and have lost 33 lbs to date. I’ll start from scratch from now on! Miss you guys!

Please add me – I am 174.0 as of this morning…My goal by May is 140. I found an awesome website by LiveStrong (Lance Armstrong’s Cancer cause)…it’s called The Daily Plate (www.thedailyplate.com) They have just about every food item under the sun for you to add and count your calories with. It’s pretty neat. They recommend an amount of calories you should consume to lose or gain based on your goals. Can’t wait to be added to the healthy train!!! ~*Nichole Frank
I maintained through the holidays….oh well, that’s ok with me!!! My new goal for Valentines day is 5 lbs. a little ambitious….??? hehe
AWWW!!! I LOVE the slideshow!!! =)
PS Bobbi… I wanna get on the Healthy Train!!! =D Count me in!!!
Oh yeah. My goal for VDay is 10 lbs… and I’m GONNA MAKE IT!!! YEAH!!!! =D
What’s even better is that I remember when you originally posted 90% of those images on the blog at some point. π Happy New Year B+M!
Can I join your weight loss tracking? I need the accountability. I’m in a wedding in September that the two of you are photographing and I do not want to be the fat bridesmaid. I want to be prettier for my friend so she has good pictures!
