Uhmmmm, sooooo… I gained 3.2 lbs while in Mexico… but the good news is that I lost 2.6 of those pounds since I've been back…. which gives me a net weight gain of .6 lbs.
Yes yes yes, I'm quite bummed about it…. hence why I've put off writing this blog entry allllll dayyyyy. Whateva… Enough about that.
Losing weight, sticking to a gym regimen, counting calories… it takes a LOT of discipline and to be PERFECTLY honest…. I REALLY struggle with it.
I don't like working out…. just don't. I envy those people who crave and are addicted to working out… who get a high from running…. who don't feel complete unless they've spent an hour at the gym every day. That just isn't me. Don't get me wrong… I LOVE the results, I love feeling stronger and healthier… I like knowing that I went that day 🙂 But the ACT of working out… UGH! Don't be mad at me… I'm just being honest.
SOOOO… I REALLY need to do more cardio… Will you guys please hold me accountable? I need to be doing it AT LEAST 3 times a week. UGH! So, that's the goal…. 😀 I'll be twittering everytime I go to the gym… and I'll tell you how I did at our next weigh in.
Here's everyone who's weighed in since Dec 19th (the last time I made a list… yeah, I've sorta been busy 🙂 ) The total weight loss for everyone on this list? 227.4 lbs.

If for some reason you signed up or have reported your loss and I didn't list your name… SO sorry, just let me know in the comment section and I'll get it right 😀
Like always, a post without a photo just isn't right… SOOOO… here we are last week in Puerta Vallerta (where I gained 3.2 lbs.. but who's counting!?)
Yes yes yes, I'm wearing that infamous "Little Miss Sunshine" shirt…. The one that I wear ALLLL of the time. Whatever… it's my favorite. If I didn't think anyone would notice, I'd live in it. 😀
Alright team, YOUR turn! How'd YOU guys do? SOOO sorry it took me so long to update, I was just NOT looking forward to it. Oh well… there's always next week 🙂
~bobbi ❗
PS. my goal for Valentine's Day? 8 lbs 😀 What's yours?
PPS. If you're just joining… just add your name to the list in the comment section and then every Friday report your loss… also in the comment section 😀
I really don’t want to talk about it!!! But I have too, you know since you did, and all.
I gained about 2 lbs. I got a personal trainer and started that on monday, he killed me, and i mean killed. We went down to the keys that night and I seriously could barely walk much less sit on a toilet without falling on it (sorry if tmi) I was in pretty bad shape, today is the first day i can go down stairs and not feel like my legs are going to give out. So i got my but kicked but since we were in key west i loaded up on coconut shrimp, fish, and key lime pie….which is what killed me. So today i went back to the gym and am cutting out all sugar and carbs. So hopefully next week will be good results.
OMG, I BLAB!!!!
Both of your eyes are just amazing in that picture!!
weight-in-another 1 pound thanks to my a new yogo video which I love because like you, I dislike cardio…a. lot.
Bobbi don’t feel bad, I don’t know what one person that goes on vacation (ok, you worked too, but you kwim) and doesn’t gain weight. The good part is that you admit your fault and you are already getting back on track. Being honest with yourself is a big part of weight loss in my opinion and that is one of the many things you are great at…being honest. 🙂 great job losing almost all of the weight gain already!
a few side notes:
I love your hair waivy.
I love you in your little miss sunshine shirt.
I love you and Mikey’s eyes in the above picture.
and finally:
LOOK AT YOUR TEETH!!! YOUR SMILE IS DIFFERENT!!!
I hereby request more pictures of you and Mike in mexico!!!
Awesome job getting those few lbs off already!! I hate that its so easy to put it on and so hard to take it off….so not fair! I think its been 2 weeks since the last post right? So the previous week I lost 1.6 and this last week I stepped up my cardio routine and I lost 5.2! WOO WHOO! So total loss now is 19.6. Still going to aim for 25lbs by WPPI but now Im hoping for more like 30 with last weeks success.
I think it’s a heck of an accomplishment to have already lost 2.6 lbs that you gained while you were there. I understand what it’s like to “not like” working out. I really have a lot of fun with strength training but I don’t love cardio. I find that it’s easier for me to do if I have a cardio goal in mind. I am training for a 5k and it makes my cardio sessions seem a little more worth it. I don’t know if that would help you to stay motivated or not…. just a thought. Anyway, my weight loss for this week- 3 pounds. Keep up the good work, you’ll get the results you want next week!
you two are oh so adorable in that photo.
your hair is beautiful natural and wavy. BEAUTIFUL.
i love your honesty, with yourself, and your blog readers.
no matter what, you are amazing, and you have a wonderful man that loves you madly for who you are (what a precious gift).
love to you guys!
haha! i’ve been waiting for this today. i lost .5 not huge, but still a loss. an i’m with you on the working out. blah. my goal is actually for my bday. feb 15th. 🙂 i’d really love to be 160. sadly that’s 7.4lbs away so we’ll see how that goes.
I only lost .3 pounds. eh. I’ve been working out 4 days a week for the last two weeks…so maybe it will get better.
P.S. Love the pic and the t-shirt!
Oh My Little Love,
I of all people understand your what you are going through. There are a lot of reasons for your recent weight mishap. First being have been working 24/7 and did not take the time to drink the daily required water intake, as well as eat 5 mini meals a day, ect… You are the trooper, I remember, forever. Hang in there, Miss Bobbi Michelle Sheridan. You have what it takes to get there.
Love you through “Infinity”,
Momba
Bobbi, I am at 61.4 kilos, which is 3 whole kilos down from my starting weight, yet a little under 1 kilo up from after Christmas. My new goal is to hit 58.9 by Feb. 17th, my wedding weight on my wedding anniversary 🙂
Keep motivated!
Nada. Nothing. But it’s one of those weeks, so I’m not shooting myself. 🙂
You go girl!! You can do it!!!!
I have the same necklace. Mark got it for me for Christmas 🙂
xoxo
that photo of you two is simply divine.. just full of love and energy!
i lost 2.6 lbs this week! yeah!
You can do it. I know you can.
You are invincible!!!
Ok, here’s the scoop. If you want to burn fat, jump on a treadmill and “walk” don’t “run”. For example, I usually start off with a speed of like 3.0 to 3.5. Then, as I’m walking at that speed for about 5 minutes to warm up, I increase the speed to about 4.0 to 4.5. I also increase the incline every 5 minutes or so. I’m usually on the treadmill for about 30 to 45 minutes. The main idea is to get your target heart rate within a certain number to burn fat. If your heart rate goes higher than that number you will be working on your cardiovascular system instead.
I”ve read that if you run you build up cardiovascular system and if you walk fast (I guess power walk) at an incline then you will burn fat. I lost 30 lbs (in 2 months) two years ago going to the gym for 45 minutes 4 times a week walking on the treadmill and eating healthy of course.
Hope that helps,

Hi Bobbi! I would like to join in on the lsoing weight fun! I started about the same time as you and have only lost 10lbs. But I am running 3 times a week and to be honest…. I am getting addicted! I love it now! But it took me about 10 weeks of doing it consistently to actually start loving it.
ANyways… this week was bad. I gained 2 lbs. So technically I only have lost 8 lbs all together! Pathetic! I have lost inches thought!
thanks for letting me join your support group! It helps to know others are on the same boat!

I’ve lost 6 pounds in the past two weeks! I’m hoping to lose 8lbs by Valentine’s Day as well. I’ll have to really behave myself, I work in a school and there is candy and cookies and cake in the teacher’s lounge aaalll the time. I’ve taken to just going to long way around the school to avoid it.
I lost 1 pound this week. I just bought my husband a Wii for his birthday and he is convinced that it is going to help us get in shape. We shall see…
I am right with you. I HATE to work out too. Keep it up, you are doing great!
Bobs I love your hair curly…you are beautiful!
love that pic of you and Mike and I love that t-shirt so keep rockin’ it!!
So I had a really good week this week because I stepped up the workout routine again this week. I lost 3 lbs and it also wasn’t the best time of the month if you know what I mean 😉 My nutrition coach was so excited for me…
Also, totally agree with what Rick said above about treadmill…my nutrition coach does not want me to run on the treadmill…he wants a good pace at a 50-70% incline. Since I have been doing that for a minimum of 4 times week at 45 minutes I have been losing all the weight.
Keep up the awesome work!!!
Bobbi, You look fabulous. I’m kind of stuck right at -10 pounds now (since beginning of Nov) but the past two weeks the scale hasn’t budged! ;( I have started making more drastic changes in diet though- like I try to do a vegetarian lunch now and snack on veggies instead of a big fat 42 oz soda…. so hard!
This is a REALLY great satisfying vegetarian snack I made up that is kind of a salad.
1 cup raw broccoli diced (even stems)
1 cup carrots shredded
1 stalk celery
1/2 red or green pepper diced
1/4 cup salted peanuts (I put them in a baggie and smash them so they are nice + little)
1/2 ripe avocado diced
1/8 cup extra virgin olive oil
Mix all in a big bowl and toss. The avocado will mix with the Olive Oil to make a nice ‘dressing’. Salt and pepper to taste (I use quite liberally!) YUM!
Nothing this week! O well. Can’t get discouraged!
Hope you had a wonderful vacation!
Well…i gained 3/4 lb…so..i didnt manage to loose again this week but i gained less than 1lbs so it could be worse right…i drank too much last week so ive decided thats why!!
Bobbi – you can do it!! You are losing the wight the RIGHT way – you’re not supposed to lose 2 lbs a week every single week – the way you’re doing it gradually (two steps forward, one back) is the best way to ensure you’ll keep it off! Trust me! Way to go and hold your head up high – you’re doing great!
4.2 lbs.
Bobbi and Mike!
You look awesome!!!!!! We had sooooo much fun with you two in Mexico. We don’t know how to thank you!
Girl – the only way to lose weight in Mexico is to do it Brian’s way: throw up for 2 days straight *yes – on our h-moon!*…otherwise it’s an impossibility! Keep up the good work on the lbs – you rock! And as we mentioned there, LOVE the shirt!
Talk to you soon!
-H and B
I thought this thing was over. Well we weighed ourselves in and Cathy has lost 3lbs since them and I’ve (David) lost 7lbs since then. 🙂 How’s them apples? 😀
OOoooo can we get a (Cathy and David Photographers) after our names on the list too. ^_^
I lost a whole pound exactly this week! 🙂 Which I thought was weird since it’s my special week….hah
Don’t worry about the tiny gain…you rule and you’ll get it off girl!
Let’s see, a V-day goal. Oh wait that’s WPPI too! Umm…I’ll say 5 pounds. The way my loss has been that might even be a bit ambitious, but we’ll see. 🙂
erich is losing weight but he didn’t weigh in this week. Bad boy!! 🙁 I will hpefully know more next week!
I only lost .5 lbs this week. I’m disappointed, but at least I didn’t gain. I need to work on the food….
I hate going to the gym. I hate getting on the treadmill. So instead I focus on how good I’m going to feel about myself when I get done. And then I spend all that time on the treadmill forcing myself not to quit. It really takes effort.
A year ago I took up tennis. I’m still really bad, but I love it. And it burns mucho calories! So, if it works for you, you might find a sport that you can fit in your schedule that burns calories and you don’t despise quite as much as that treadmill.
My goal for VD is 4 lbs.
Keep goin’. You’ll get there. I can see in your photos that you’ve lost weight. Just don’t give up.
So first let me say a few things – One – your hair looks amazing, you and Mikey are the cutest couple on earth, your teeth are looking SUPER DUPER straight. You look absolutely AMAZING!!
My weight loss – or lack thereof – is weird. I don’t know whats going on…I’m hoping this week will be better.
You look beautiful. I can’t wait to see your guys FACE!
ok, remember the other day I said I lost a lb? I think I found that one, and it found a friend too…..said I GAINED 2 lbs today. Can I blame pms chocolate and salt cravings? *sigh* Hopefully it’ll be back to 166. Goal for Valentines day? I’m going to say 4 lbs…(Shoves opened box of turtles husband opened up into his laptop bag to take to work! LOL)
You two are just so stinkin cute together! More mexico pics please! 🙂
Grigh, I freaking love your hair wavy….you pretty pretty!
About time I logged in here. I joined the weightloss before Christmas, and that was an obvious mistake. I’ll start again I think – 15 pounds off by mid-march – go!
Congratulations to everyone who has lost weight so far.
Down 4 this week. Booya!
I lost 1.6!!!!!! YAAY!!!!!! =)
Soo…I don’t know where to send my loss/gain. I am probably just totally missing it. Anyaway, I started Weight Watchers and lost 7.4 lbs Monday-Monday. We’ll see how next week goes.
