Wow… 26 weeks! That's half the damn year! Wow to us, right?!
Anyway…. I LOST WEIGHT 🙂 A bit shocking given that it's been a whirlwind of a month! I went to a workshop where they fed us ham and enchiladas (not to mention the AMAAAAAZING gravy 😉 Nate even suggested I ditch the healthy train and join the gravy train, HAHAHAHA! ). I tell you, when you put yummy food in front of me, I have ZERO discipline! Then flew out to Pittsburgh for an amazing wedding (cannot WAIT to show you those images!) THENNNN Mike went to Florida for a week to left me fend for myself…. to those of you who know me, you know that Mike spoils me… and I don't do so well on my own 😀 (Please know that these are not excuses… I'm just filling you all in on my month 🙂 )
Soooo, how much weight did I lose?! Are you on the edge of your seat???? 🙂 I lost FOUR POUNDS! Total weight loss: 19.8 pounds 😀 YEAHYEAHYEAHYEAHHHH!!!!!!! WOW… nearly 20 pounds?! WOWWWW!!!!!! That's a lot of poundage 🙂 I'm about 14 pounds away from my wedding weight 😉
About three weeks ago, after being SO discouraged… I had my resting metabolism rate measured. Given my height, weight and age… they guessed it to be around 1560. The results? 1130. WOW!!!!!! Scary low. THEN I got even MORE discouraged and almost gave up… had a few bad days in there to prove it 🙂 I've since been trying to alter my diet to fix that. I'll keep you all in the loop with all of that stuff….
UPDATED MEASUREMENTS!!!!
Since week one (October 4) of the Healthy Train:
Weight: -19.8lbs
Arms: -2"
Chest: -2.5"

Now to my favorite part of the healthy train 🙂 BEFORE AND AFTERS!!!!!!
First one taken 10.14.08… the second one taken 20 minutes ago.
Edited to add: I just noticed there are more shadows in the newest photo…. which aren't doing me any favors…. I should retake it 🙂 Yeah, I'm hardcore!!!!
Here's the thing I find most shocking…. Uhhh…. WOW! (I'm feeling all America's Top Model with the "100% crop") Now, I'm still quite chubby cheeked… but I always will be 🙂 Also, it's a bit deceiving because my hair is in my face in the newest photo, but whateva… you get the idea!!!!!
So, there you have it 🙂 My updates. Pretty cool, huh!? For this next weigh in… let's do it Celebrity Fit Club style and get a goal. 😀 Mine is… 6 pounds by May 15th. 😀 What's yours?
Since March 6th… here are the people who have reported their loss. Their total weight loss… 298.7 WOWWWWWW!!!!!!

~bobbi ❗
Wow!! You look AMAZING! Congrats on all the hard work!
Great job!! You look great!
Soooooo proud!!! Even considering the Blend workshop delicous desserts!! Good for you!
Great work Bobbi! You are looking great! Four pounds is so awesome!
I am the same way around food – if it’s there, it’s so hard for me to say no! I am kind of happy I am skipping Easter this year – so much food! I have such a hard time eating healthy around my family too.
I lost 7 pounds.
Wow, what a difference 20 lbs makes!! I can see a HUGE difference in your face! and I LOVE your hair long too. 🙂
I did really good, I lost 11 lbs since I recommited. (this is after I had regained all my weight of course, so my total weight loss since October is 11 lbs. LOL) But still!!
My goal for May 15th is 8 lbs. Fingers crossed!!
WOW!!! You look great!! So proud of you!
Okay so I have been following this for a while and I wanted so badly to lose a few before I joined your healthy train (isn’t that silly?) Instead I have gained. Too much yuckiness and health issues going on in my life.
SO, I am not sure how this thing goes but right now I am at my all time high weight yoyo of 200-204. My goal is be down to the yoyo of 193-195 by May 15th. Hopefully this is reasonable enough.
By the way. GO YOU for rocking the healthy train and looking so flippin’ awesome. Also, loving the freshness of haircolor you got going on. Did you recolor it just for your weightloss shoot?
Girrrrllllll you look amazing!! You are doing sooooo good!!
Me on the other hand….blah. In total I only lost 1.6 pounds the whole month, BUT, when I started running 4 weeks ago, my weight jumped up 5 pounds for some reason, all of which I’ve managed to lose. So really, that 1.6 is confusing. hah
Not to mention I’ve already lost like 2 inches on my waist. In a month! From running! I’m sure next month will be way more awesome. =D However, I’m gonna set my goal at 3 pounds, because I’m still not sure how my body will react to my increase in mileage.
Lookin GUUUUD!!!! 🙂
Way to push through the low spots!
I haven’t lost lbs recently but have been seeing some major muscle development lately. Increased my handweights to 9lbs today… going to 10lbs next week!
Thanks for the inspiration and GOOD job!! 🙂
whoa! Way to go Bobbi! That’s so awesome, I’m proud of you! You can totally see a difference! wow! I should send you pics of me at my heaviest… 35lbs ago.
yeah bobbi!!! congrats! you look wicked skinny!
by the way, how do you measure your metabolic rate? i’d love to measure mine to see where i’m at vs. where i need to be.
ok, well, i’m SUPER STOKED to report that i am now 6.8 lbs LIGHTER than i was 1 month ago!!!! YEEEEEAAH!!!!!!
That is awesome! You look incredible. Congratulations!
YOU GO GIRL! Your looking great!
congrats! 🙂 that’s so great!
i am down 5 more pounds .. though i’m pretty sure i’m gaining it all back this week (or have already!) because we’re doing a lot of family stuff for easter. which means tons of candy as well as good food. ugh! i don’t have much self control with food either. i really need to work on that. 🙂
i’m looking forward to the next weigh in!
Add me to your list of weight loss, 9 pounds since Mid-February. You look great, keep it up.
Hey Bobster,
You Go Girl !!!!!
Momba is so proud of you. You have not only lost pounds. The inches via exercise give you that healthy, fit glow. I love “Little Love”.
Momba
GO BOBBI! GO BOBBI! GO! GO! GO! BOBBI!! YOU LOOK AMAZING!!!!!
wow bobbi!!
you look aaaaaaamazing!
You look wonderful…look at those clothes just hanging off of you!!!
YAY YAY YAY!! Go you!!! SO happy for you! You look great!!!!
Lets see….last time I was down 28 total…Im now down 40.2! 🙂 So thats 12.2 down since the last time…..WOOT!!! Still have like 40 more to go but Im on the road 🙂
Holey moley girl! You are doing great!
Wowza! I’m so proud of you, what a difference!!!
I’ve lost 3 lbs, but i’m down 8 inches in a month!!! Not totally excited about the lbs so im focusing on inches this month. I hope to lose 8 lbs next month though, get busy!
You are on fire girl!!! I wish we were still at Blend so we could talk at length!! xxxxxxxxxx
Bobbi, great work!! It is so hard to stick with these things, but with results like yours I know you are inspired to keep going! Don’t beat yourself up if you slip a little once in a while – just get right back on 🙂
Good luck!!
Your results are great! Our measurements are very similar! I’ve lost 4.2 lbs since the last weigh in but I’ve lost more inches! Good job everyone! 🙂
We both lost nothing. Actually we each gained 1lb. Guess that’s what happens when I cook. >..<
And for a goal.. hmm… I think our goal is to each lose 15 more lbs by June 1st.
Holy freakin cow!! You look so beautiful Bobbi…not that you didnt before…but i can see extra confidence oozing from you in your newest photo and it makes all the difference! You look really good!!
As for me…ive been really up and down aswell…but ive tired to keep rememebering that it’ll all be worth it in the end. After that 5lbs i lost while i ill..i gained most of it back the next week an then stayed the same…but i have lost 1 1/4lbs. Not much, but i had a review at the gym an worked out a harder program with my trainer so btween that and taking another look at my diet..im hoping for better results next time.
Its my bday at the end of the months so i hope for another 2lbs by then..and my goal for May 15th is 4lbs!
YEAHHHHH Bobbi!!!! Way to fight through the discouragements — and knowing how hard it is to eat healthy when you’re a picky eater, I’m SO proud of you!!! Keep up the great work girl!!!
go girl! so proud of you!
you are beautiful. always. 🙂
You looked great before (and I’m not just saying that) and you still look great, just smaller great! 🙂 I’m so happy for you, it feels good to work hard and something and see tangible results.
I am maintaining my weightloss from before, so I’m pretty happy about that!
I am extremely happy for you! I have struggled with my own weight for many years. It is tough, but just keep taking it one day at a time. I have just come to the conclusion that I Love food and don’t want to “diet” so I just think of it as compromise and some days I just don’t give a s%$t and have the brownie anyway. Maybe I am not helping with the last comment~either way!!! Go Girl:)
Wow you look great you can totally see the difference in your face. So proud of you for swticking with it. I have lost another 3.5 pounds bringing my total to 24 pounds. Hopeing to lose another 6 by may 15th even if that is a bit ambitious for me right now.
Keep up the great work!!
Way to go, Bobbi! You look great. And you seem to have a belt on straight, too! 😉
Since last check in I lost 5 pounds. Now hoping to maintain!! 🙂 Congrats to you, you look FAB!!!
Wow! You look a-maz-ing! wow!
You look GREAT!!! Keep up the good work..I know it’s hard, but you look absolutely amazing!!! Congrats to you!!!
P.S. Hi Mike!!
You are looking FAAAAABULOUS!! WTG Hottie!!! Keep up the geat work! 🙂
Got on scale this morning, said 166.8 Would have to look and see what it was before. Was just surfing your awesome pics and see what it was before.
Goal would be wow….3.8 lbs? Slow and steady wins the race 🙂

You are HOT!!!!! You look awesome, and, although I did not think it possible, you have a larger smile.
I lost 2.5 lbs. Not as great as you..but at least it’s a loss!!
Great work!
Arm fist in the air cheering you on girl!!! Way to go!

I am sooo impressed and so inspired!!! So happy for you and your hair is pretty durn cute too!
Go Bobbi! You’re looking good, and what’s more important, you look healthier. I’ve lost weight since you started this but I’d have to check Wii Fit to see how much. Oh well, I should do that anyway…
I’m a bit slow. YIKES!
I’ve actually gained. 2lbs. I’ve been out with an ankle injury, but am starting back up at the gym tonight. Hopefully by the next check in, I can have a loss! 🙂
