So… I didn't lose anything these past couple of weeks. As a matter of fact, I gained a pound 🙁 So, my total weight loss is 7.8 lbs. Thanksgiving is a tough time of year… but whatever… there's always this week! I've been beating myself up about it… but I know that this past week (AFTER Thanksgiving) I gave it more than I have ANY other week because I just KNEW I gained over the holiday (I refused to weigh myself 😉 ) So, here's to all of us WORKING IT OUT this week!
The bummer is that because of Thanksgiving, I don't think I'm going to be making my Christmas goal 🙁 Losing 3 lbs a week just isn't healthy, likely, or practical. SOOOO, I'm changing it 🙂 Don't me mad! HA! My new goal is to lose 13.5. I'm cheating, oh well… it's my damn list! HA!
Enough about me… let's talk about you.
As of our November 21st weigh in… we had 49 people weigh in. Out of those 49, we've lost a total of 218 lbs! WOW TO THAT NUMBER!!!!!!!
And HERE they are 😉

For those of you who have been following me on Twitter… you know that I officially started the Invisalign treatment yesterday.
Here's my first impression:
- not as comfortable as I was hoping for… but I'm sure that's the case the first week for everyone
- the little tooth colored circle things they attach to the front of my teeth look funny and make eating difficult… i always feel like I have something in my teeth.
- another thing about eating… it's a pain because I have to take them out after EVERY time i eat then brush my teeth before i put them back in. so, the thought of eating annoys me… HELLO DIET BONUS!!!!!!!
- i can already feel my teeth moving, yay!
- i have an AWFUL lisp. my brides name for tomorrow is Elissa 🙂 Say THAT wish a lisp! 😉
- because they're moving my "snaggle tooth" first… (that front tooth that's behind the bottom teeth) I can't close my bite all of the way
- this has got to still be better than metal braces
- it dries my mouth out MAJORLY so I'm drinking all of my water! HELLO DIET BONUS!!!!!!!!!
- i keep kind of gagging because I'm not used to having big plastic things in my mouth… it's not cute.
That's about it really… I don't mean to be all negative about it… it's just still so foreign to me… but I'm sure I'll get used to it soon. The best part… these betties will be off by my birthday on June 14! (which is the ultimate goal date with this healthy train) YAHOOOOOOOSKI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hmmmm…. a post without a picture?! HMMMMM… Let me think of something….
I KNOW!!!!!
The other week I went around our studio and took some photos to start planning what we're going to put on the walls. Would you believe that we've been here since May and have not ONE thing on our walls?! WAY TO GO TEAM BOBBI+MIKE!!!!!!! Anyway… I know that many of you have been wanting ot see more since I put up that LAME tease photo a few months ago.
SOOOO… HEEEERE YOUUUUU GOOOOOO!!!!
This is going to be our viewing area… where our clients can come in and see/order their photos on the big screen (insert screen to the right of the pillar). Those blinds have got to go… anyone have any ideas? They're 8 feet tall on a 13 foot wall… So yeah… all of our window covering options are QUITE pricey.
Well guys, thanks for keeping me motivated and holding me accountable… I PROMISE to do better next week… PROMISE!!!!!!!!
Now it's YOUR turn to tell me how YOU did.
LOVE TO YOU!!!!!
~bobbi ❗
PS. as always, you can join anytime… just let me know in the comment section 😉
I lost a big fat 0lbs this week but I didn’t gain! I’ve maintained…. Even through Thanksgiving. CHYEAH! I’m so jealous of your space. I’ve always loved Roman Shades. You will probably need something thick or dark to avoid issues with your screen but who knows…
Here’s my suggestion 😛 http://www3.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6.aspx?ItemID=11615d7&ItemTyp=G&GrpTyp=STY&ShowMenu=T&ShopBy=0&SearchString=roman+shades&RefPage=SearchDepartment.aspx&s4PageSize=15&CmCatId=searchresults&Search1Prod=True
-1.3 kilos!!!!
Google says…
1.3 kilograms = 2.86600941 pounds
SO YAY!!!!
Way to stay positive Bobbi! Thanksgiving is definitely a tough week…especially with all the yummy leftoevers!
I am loving your veiwing room! The vibrant colors and graphic style of it is like a peek into your creative brain! 🙂 Now about these window treatments…do you want something to block out the light for veiwing or just provide privacy? If you just want privacy then you could etch the glass or if that is too much, they now have window clings to make the glass look etched. If you are looking to eliminate the light, I bet you could find a fabric you like and have custom drapes made for cheaper than you think. 🙂
I did it!! I dieted all week after Thanksgiving and lost 1.4 pounds this week!!!!!
YAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!! 🙂
P.S. LOVE Your studio.
I didn’t lose anything either this week. But I did work out 3 times, and I have personal training tonight! Woooo!
I did it too! YAY! I didn’t eat ANY deserts and although it sucked, I felt better about it later so for me … a total of 1.5 pounds!!!
Also, being a professional interior designer/photographer … I love it when you do drapes and hang it directly under the ceiling so it hangs REALLY far down. If you have to have custom fabric, it shouldn’t be too bad if you just hem up the ends and sides…. it will illuminate that your windows are HUGE and will really make the space feel much larger! And make sure you do a darker fabric so it blocks out alot of light! Or sow a plain white fabric to the back that is very thick to block that sun so you can see the screen good! … I’m thinkin’ BLACK!
K there is my two cents for what it’s worth! Who knows tho there are so many options out there! Fill us in tho on what you decide later on your blog! Love ya!
I’ve been thinking about getting invisalign too….I like your honesty about it.
I loooove your studio! So bright and pretty!! Whoot! Later chickedoodle!!
I feel so much better after reading your post. I was feeling bad about having yet another week without any weight loss. Yep, another 0. I only have 5 more lbs to lose. Not much, but it has been tough for me to get over that hump. Good luck on the invisaligns. I don’t have any suggestions on the windows, but I have to say that your studio is gorgeous!
I always wanted to gag when I had my teeth whitened. Plastic things in my mouth for just a couple hours a day for a couple of weeks, yuck, hated it! But well worth it 🙂
I love your studio! definitely seeing some long dramatic drapes on those windows!
minus 2lbs for me!!
Although I did indulge at our holiday party last night! Bad Melissa!
Bobbi – it’s looking beautiful! I’m so jealous. I want to move to Indy and come and work for you!
Ahh Bobbi, don’t be hard on yourself….I have been “watching” you go bust your ass all week at the gym. You are doing awesome AWESOME.
About those windows, I was going to say exactly what Leah said. Your room is gorgeous, and you can accentuate those windows so beautifully with some LOOONNNG fun funky curtains. I am all about doing things on the frugal side, and I think you can get it done reasonably cheap. If you are coming down here to see me and Ikea 🙂 they have some AWESOME fabrics you can buy by the yard for CHEAPO….we can whip up some curtains in no time flat!!
I don’t know if this is fair or not but i lost 6 lbs…..i was sick all last night so it seems like anything that has gone into my body in the past 2 weeks is now out of my body….sorry if TMI. I’m still sick but for grins and giggles i weighed myselfl this morning and was down 6. I’m sure that was all from last night though.
I LOVE the studio! The colors are amazing, I want my house to look like that!
we’ve been sick sick sick :(… for 2 weeks so unfortunately bupkis on losing anything :(.. boo. on a happier note your studio looks AWESALICIOUSICAL!!! yep that’s a word 😉
Bobbi,
Hang in there with the braces — I had the metal kind my frosh year in college and I lost 10 pounds because I couldn’t eat anything (the Freshman 15 worked for me in reverse!) And the pain does get better as your mouth adjusts to them!
LOVE the funky viewing room. Someone already mentioned IKEA (could I marry a store?) and I love all their window treatments — these ones are cool and kind of go with that lamp in the room!

We each gained a pound too. >.< STUPID THANKSGIVING!!! The studio looks beautiful. I hope we can stop by and see it sometime. 🙂
Today I’m at 161.5 – so I might have lost like half a pound?
I started counting carbs 2-3 weeks ago and I GAINED WEIGHT. So now I’m changing tactics and hopefully that will make a difference. AND on 12/21 I’m moving to an apartment that has a 24 hour workout center (and it’s only 1 building awya! YAY) so there is light in my tunnell!
Also, Bobbi and Mike, thanks for your advice about my first wedding (Mike is the one who responded) – my blog http://www.craysor.com/blog has pics from that first wedding. THANK YOU!!!!!
Love the studio Bobbi! The holidays are tough, but you are lookin HOT so hang in there!
Well.. .i gained 1lb last week 🙁 and i cant even blame that on thanksgiving coz we dont have it in the UK…but…i weighed this morning and im the same so even though i havent lost i havent gained and thats all that matters.
I really need to get my ass into gear thou if im gonna loose this weight by xmas and more importantly by my cousins wedding…i found the cutest dress that i must have!
Elle x
I gained one last week… 🙁 I can blame Thanksgiving. And I wil. 🙂
I love what your studio is turning into. Can we arrange a phone date please? I miss you both!
Are you planning on mounting the TV/projector screen between these two windows? If so, you will most likely need thick curtains to block out the light. Maybe with a sheer when you want light in when not viewing the screen. The backlight will really make it hard to see the tv.
Are you using an LCD, plasma or projector? LCD’s are best for brighter environments.
And if possible, if you have to close the curtains for viewing, centering the screen in the middle would seem to be important. You mentioned mounting it to the right of the pillar, is that the one in between the windows?
Maybe mount it on the pillar and use a flexible mounting arm to move it right/left, etc.
Nice colors/contrast in the room. Very “you.”
down 2…yay!
Oh I’m so glad I’m not the only one who gained over the past 2 weeks….I didn’t weigh myself either the day after Thanksgiving (but you knew that hah) so I dunno if I’ve actually lost since last week, but since the last weigh in I gained .6 pounds. 🙁 Boo!
Oh well; what’s in the past is done and on to this coming week!
I lost 3 pounds!!!
yeah, thanksgiving did not help AT ALL when it came to losing weight 🙁 so, i gained 3 pounds over the break, and lost 1 so far, yay! hopefully i can reach my goal 🙂
well son a B – not only was Thanksgiving week my Birthday week – i did a little partying to say the least – pretty much everyday…,..so i gained 2 lbs – i actually thought i was gonna be over 987987 lbs – so i’m not too terribly upset – and thats with drinking and eating TERRIBLY and not working out for over a week – so i bet i get back down next week!!
nice viewing space!! i’m done a total of 6.1lbs. but just splurged and had thai food for lunch. will walk this weekend. 🙂
Yay Bobbi for your smile!
I have lost one pound this week.
I’ve been working at it for about a month before I joined ClubBobbiFitness, and have gone down five pounds total!
I’m BobbiLicious (so delicious)
My body stay vicious
I be up in the gym just working on my fitness
She’s my witness (oooh, wee)
I put yo’ boy on rock, rock
And they be lining down the block just to watch what I got
Yay, I am down another 2 pounds! and we got a Wii (santas bringing me Wii Fit) so I am hoping for a boost with that!!
0 pounds lost, 0 pounds gained. Considering I had gained the two weigh ins prior, I’m very happy with this.
And I didn’t know you had a studio, but it is GORGEOUS. Love the bright, cheery colors and the oppenness of the room.
Alright Bobbi, I am BACK. I do have finals left next week, but the worst part of school is over and my head is clearing, and I am ready to get back in the game. We got a Wii Fit so I am going to use it as a motivator. As of this AM I am +2 lbs from my last accomplishment, so it could be worse.. 🙂 I will be ready with some SUCCESS next week! WOOHOOO!!
Love the room btw, that blue is delicious.
SO…I’ve visited your site enough times now that I’ve finally added you to my short blogroll over at http://www.ourrehoboth.blogspot.com so that I don’t have to remember the URL. Stop over and see yourself!
love
amy
(karen eglen’s big sister and new mother of FIVE!)
your room is hot! MAKE your own curtains. duh. i made some badass panels WITH a lining for under a hundred bucks. that way you find the exact pattern you want..match your colors. come on bobbi…i know you can sew. 🙂 if you dont have a sewing machine, I KNOW you can work it with safety pins. lol.
well, last week i lost 4 lbs, but that was only because i had the flu and couldn’t keep anything down. once i got better, i gained it back. so, no loss, and no gain. boo!! i hope i can still make my xmas goal!!
idea for your windows: if you are a do-it-yourselfer, you could make a valance pretty inexpensively with wood (screw 3 pieces together to make a 3-sided box) wrapped in batting and covered in fabric. then find some killer fabric and turn it into drapes.
try IKEA.. they have really cheap window treatments. I would love to see a floor to ceiling drape idea. It will help elongate your walls and create a more dramatic effect. IKEA has especially long fabric to do this.. a friend of mine did this in her house and it looks fabulous!
p.s. i love your blog & portfolio! 🙂
LOVE the studio and I particularly really really REALLY like the lamp shade chilling in the corner. SO hot right now!
Love the colors of your viewing room…looks like such a happy and inviting place!! Love it!
L.O.V.E. the studio space … you need to have a major grand opening/open house when it’s finished … checkmark!!
The studio space is AWESOME!!!
First, I love your studio space!! It’s crisp and modern but still warm with the bright pop of color and big comfy sofas. For the windows simple is best especially when some canvases go up. Maybe a sheer white that goes to the floor, I know you can pick some great ones up at the same place you got that fabulous lamp shade to the left at:o) Second, I am so very jealous of you already starting Invisalign, I had to do a new set of impressions because of all the dental work I had done and some complications, the dentist had to re-sculpt my bite which was causing little headaches in my bottom teeth. And this brings me to the third, 1.5 pounds but I contributing that to the pain my teeth have giving me:( not working out super hard or skipping that second piece of pumpkin pie.
What about roman shades in those windows? They’d probably be good at blocking the light when you have the flat screen on that wall too!
And do you remember the name of the paint color on the wall? I just recently painted our office Valspar’s Fresh Basin and your walls kind of remind me of that.
Somebody’s went and got pimped-out by IKEA!! Love it!
p.s. for the windows I’d recommend NO window treatments other than custom cut black foamcore fillers with funky handles from Lowe’s attached. You can pop ’em in the windows for showing pics on a screen on any bright day and throw ’em out of the way the rest of the time. And I’d say you’ll have about $50 into the WHOLE project – that’s all!
i heart the lampshade. (the birdie one).
love the studio!!! there are some cool window treatments at pier 1 that are not that pricey and have thick silver gamuts at the top and hang straight…. their lime-ish green or cream ones would pop on that blue wall and look fabulous! (at least i think so!) 🙂
also…. i’m with you….. unfortunately gained a pound, as well…. even though i had the flu on thanksgiving day and ate nothing but saltines! 🙁 so giddy-up for this week!!!! i need to get back on that horse!
xoxo!
I want in!! 🙂 I just started so I will be hitting you up on Firday with my results! The plan is at least 25lbs before WPPI!!
I love your beautiful blue wall! The only thing I can think of is some drapes. Maybe that wouldn’t go with the vibe of that space though. I don’t know.
I am +5 lbs. So I guess I should just let you know when it goes back down? 😛
I hope your Invisalign is getting better… or more comfortable? I loved your “diet bonus” editing! 😛
First of all – super sexy studio! Secondly, I think some funky color scarf or roman shades would be perfect-o! Make the scarf yourself and save serious $$. You can also make the Roman shades yourself (I’m available for a sewing consult!). Love it!
Bobbi! I did invisalign 4 years ago and it was the BEST thing I ever did for myself! It took 9 months, but looking back on it, it was a blink of an eye. I still keep my snaggle tooth first impressions in my bathroom drawer to remind me what a good investment it was! You’ll get used to it feeling all weird, the gagging thing will go away and after about 2 days with the new trays your teeth won’t be sore. After I got used to it, I always took out my trays for shoots, then popped them right back in. Literally no one knew I had the things in. Best wishes….
Love the color on your studio walls!
Okay, operation Buff Bride officially begins. I’m in! What do you need from me?
So I am finally joining in….started a new regime a month ago and I have lost 12 pounds. I am working with a nutritionist and he has me on a hardcore plan…no pop, no coffee and no flour products of any kind. YIKES!!!
Started exercising this week and waiting on my Wii fit to arrive!!!
wow I”m really late to check in. That’s because I’m not doing to well with the holidays. I”m up a pound 🙁 Plus it’s….you know…one of “those” weeks. I think I’ll change my whole goal to 10lbs total lost by Valentines day.
Love the new studio! Great colors. 🙂
