Hi there! My name is Brooke and along with my best friend Brandi, we are blogging our weight loss journey's! We feel this will help hold us accountable for everything we DO or DON'T do!  Before I go too in depth, let me tell you all a little bit about myself!

I am a wife to my husband John of 10 years...and we have 3 beautiful children ages 9, 7 and 4. Ever since I had my first child, I have been in a constant battle with my weight and self image. It's not a fun battle...with my second it was worse and the third you can only imagine ;) I just turned 30 about 2 weeks ago, and although over the last year I have dropped 60 pounds, I stepped on the scale this morning to reveal that I have put 16 pounds back ON since JANUARY...oh yikes! So here is my game plan...

I weighed in this morning at 196.0...pretty sad considering I was at 169 in OCTOBER...oops...yuck! I plan on weighing in every Tuesday morning. I really DON'T have a goal weight since I don't like to emphisize too much on my weight, so I will go MORE by my measurements...If I HAD to pick a weight, I would say 140-150 would be a good weight for me.  I also took measurements of my body this morning ...I will also measure every week also and post those results!As of this morning my measurements are as follows:

Right arm: 14.25 inches
Chest: 42.75 inches
Waist: 38.75 inches
Hips: 44.75
Right Thigh: 28 inches around
Right Calf: 17.5 inches around.

So there you have THAT...it's ALL out there for you to see! haha.

My plan of action is eating right using the app Fitness Pal on my droid to help with food....and I am using the INTENSITY workout program starting today. It is a very intense program that cost me $120 PLUS shipping! haha....It is at LEAST 1 hour a day of the meanest, sweatiest cardio and torture you can endure... I'm expecting big results ....the proof is in the pudding folks, you just have to eat it (hahaha). What I mean is, it's all here in front of me...so if I use the tools I'm given, when I'm supposed to...there is no reason NOT to succeed. On this blog journey, you will see us slip up, get angry with ourselves, maybe even see us at our lowest where we feel there is no light at the end of the tunnel...but mostly we hope you see us SUCCEED and give YOU hope that you can do the same!! We are ALL worth it!

OH Before I forget! Here is my uploads of my before pictures! They were taken yesterday but who cares...still the same size today! Lets start this!!!



OH DAY 1~ How many times have we all started this day?

Hi all!

Well....here we go for about the 10 millionth time......Day 1. It always goes GREAT! Day 1 is the start of the rest of our lives right?! Well lets see how I feel on day 3.....LMAO!

So my BFF & I are starting htis blog to hold ourselves accountable. She will be posting too. We are both doing out own thing, we live over an hour away from each other & we both have tried to do this.....god....way to many times to count!  Hopefully this time it works.....it HAS to work this time! I am at my heaviest weighing in today at 236.5lbs!!!!!! AAAAHHHHHHHH!

So today it starts! This blog is going to be the ups & downs, highs & lows of our journey. 90 DAY challenge!!!!! My goal.......150lbs. No holding back! Its my one shot before I turn 30 to drop this burden that has haunted me most of my life! As I'm sure many of you have this same problem.

I will try to figure out how to upload before pics and just BFF pics :) But maybe my Chubby Buddy will have to do it lol......shes a little more tech savvy than I am.

LETS DO THIS SHIT!!!
