The 2Js

Million pound match up

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Today I will not give up on myself or others in this fight against obisity

OUR STATEMENT

Hi everyone, We are Jim 51, and Jodi 47. I’m not sure when it happened that we got so old, but here we are. Jim’s 6’6 and weighs 248. I’m 5’5 weighing 328. I just caught the show by happenstance one day clicking through, and coming across a marathon of BL. It was mesmerizing. I wasn’t seeing before and after photos, I was watching it happen. People larger then me, actually doing it. The ups and downs of it all, concluded with a TADA moment. I thought OMG maybe there’s hope after all. I too can have hope to be a real person, maybe feel like a feminine woman again. You see I had lost all hope that I could ever be in a healthy size body again. When Jim came home we finished the marathon. His eyes mirrored my hope. He’s always shared my pain of not being able to participate in life, eventually putting weight on himself. We decided to do it with the new season. Then you announced the MPM. We are so lucky to be part of the BL. We can find hope and share in the struggles through the show, and with the people on-line. We aren’t sure we will win. What we are sure of is that with healthy eating, and a lot of hard work we too can succeed. We can share in the lessons people are learning on the show and incorporate them in our lives. We can push past our comfort zone to strive for the life we both deserve. With all of this going for us we dare to envision our hearts dream to have a TADA moment, when I can run and jump in to Jims arms and he catches me as I kiss his face.

I feel good

I can't believe we are 8 weeks in and I am still here. Even after I had to stop working out for 2 weeks. I started something new this week. I am doing the 1 minute cardio with heart rate 95%, rest to 65% and do it again 5 times routine. Boy you have to stay focused!!! We are still here. Good luck everyone. I am looking forward to a good weigh in this week.

weigh in

Ugh.....I am glad to be working out again. I didn't have all of my food several days last week and didn't get in workouts do to the boot. Boy it showed. This week it is back to working out. I was able to do upper body work out and 20 minutes on the SM before my foot started bothering me. I'm back!!!!
February 17

weigh-in

After a week trying to recover it was good to see 3.4 lbs lost. I am under 300!!! My foot is still painful, but i am hoping to get out of this boot soon. I can't wait to start excercising again!!! Who said that? Was it me? We are still eating healthy and perticipating after 6 weeks. Go US!!! I can't remember the last time I ate healthy for 6 weeks.

learning to be patient

I am ding of boredom!! I can't even play with my clay much. Sigh. I just keep thinking 1 more week. I left the boot off yesterday for awhile to let it stretch. What a mistake. It felt like day one of the injury. I notice I am thinking of food more these days. It is the boredom. Sitting at the comp isn't an option cause it isn't elevated. So I am going to take care of this thing the right way!!! I just need to learn to be patient.

Help trainer needed

Well what do you call a woman in her mid 40s who excercises heavily at 328 with out a trainer??? Injured. I have been to the doc and it is tendonitis. I now realize what an important gift MPM is offering. To be able to have a trainer now to tell me what I can and can't do would be a unsurmountable gift. To have had one before I injured myself would have also been fabulous. I know my number won't be great this week. Now is when I have to say do I talk the talk or walk the walk. I have been to many sites of people who had a low number and let them know I was routing for them. Telling them that this is just 1 week and to keep going. I am routing for myself also. My food is good. I am stopping the urge to cut down, to compensate. I can do this. My doc said sure go ahead and do cardio...just don't remove the boot. Well after a few minutes my hip was killing me. The boot makes my right leg much higher then my left. Was he crazy? I am lucky my DH has been giving my leg lengthy messages through out the tendon. I think I'll keep him!!! I am still here and still doing it. I will not give up on myself.
 

J's on their way

Occupation
Location
Interests
We have been together for over 8 years, and we still love to hold hands, sit on the same side in a resteraunt, lay in each others arms, spoon each other to sleep, and best of all spend every moment we can together. We are so lucky God has blessed us with each other. We both have a warped sense of humor, and are confident in our relationship. So when 1 of us gives the other a hard time, the other can easily come back with "I used to love you sooo much", and we both laugh. We support each other in everything we do. This is just 1 more tier in our journey together

MPM WEIGH IN
