Update on my parents....

Just wanted to give a quick update on my folks. They weighed in yesterday before their free day and seemed to be a little disappointed as they each lost 1 lb. LOL Well, then my mom decided to get the tape measure and just see if it was her imagination that her shirt seemed to fit better. What she found was, she has lost 3.5 inches off both her waist and her hips and 0.5 inches off her thighs in 2 weeks! Purely amazing!! We didn't measure her arms before they started (wish we would have) but now she's measured and written that down. I hope this keeps them going. My dad lost 3 inches off his tummy too!

I have 3 weeks left until the cruise. Yesterday was my LAST free day until I leave. I will do a slight carb load on Thursday night and Friday night before the race on Saturday, but other than that....strictly following plan. I've tried increasing my weights and I hope there will be some popping abs by then end. I'll take some photos at that point. YAY, go me!!!!

That's amazing that she has lost that much. Tell her we are proud of her. She needs to get a profile to keep track of it on te computer.

Wow! Sounds like your mom is really taking off with this! Hope your practice run goes well. Don't worry about the 4 week challenge. I think I'm about the same place I started, so we will just consider this thing a tie! lol

Oh and Lori, my mom will NOT be posting pictures or keeping track online. She has been keeping track on fitday and doing well with that.

Oh, I think I misread your post below...I thought Melissa was joining you for your practice run on Friday! lol. See how lost I am? Don't worry..I got it now. And your chocolate will be coming just as soon as I'm able to pay the kids off from their report cards! lol

Jen, I only get chocolate basket *IF* I make it in 2 hours or less. Otherwise, we'll call it a tie!

Ok..I'd better start saving my money, so if you are thinking of chocolate the whole time, you're gonna kick ass! lol
