About Us
Hello World!
Meet 2 buddies weight
watchen! Baggy Pants (a.k.a. Amy) is on the left and Jello (a.k.a. Michelle) is on the right. We have been watchen the weight go “bye-bye” for 8 weeks now and have found so much info and fun in this community! We are both working moms and we each have 2 kids, a husband and a dog. We live in the great Mountains of Utah and are so excited to head down the weight loss trail!
More about Amy
I have been married for 9 years and have two wonderful kids, Girl 4.5 years, boy 11 months. After my son was born, a week later we found out he had a rare Fatty Oxidation Disorder which requires him to be on low-fat diet for the rest of his life. I since have decided that I really needed to get myself and my family used to a better lifestyle and eating habits. This also gives me a lot more motivation to stick with the program and succeed. I have been working at a University for 9 years and enjoy it most of the time. These are the things I enjoy doing but don’t get to do them much with the two little kidlets; scrapbooking, reading, camping, and now exercising and eating healthy. My best friend and co-worker, Jello or Michelle, are either bad influences or good influences on each other. We used to spend every lunch eating out and now we spend it either exercising or finding new good foods. We don’t attend meetings but weigh-in weekly in front of each other. We are in this together for the long haul and can’t wait for the new me’s.
Our Nicknames
For Amy (Baggy Pants) the inches just seem to be melting off and by week 6 all of her clothes were wayyy baggy. So I would sing “baggy pants” to her every morning to the tune of “Lollipop”
For Michelle (Jello -me) One morning I was running while delivering papers with my husband. When I got back to the car my dear husband simply stated “I’m craving Jello” I thought that was a rather odd craving for a man to have but then I realized it was in reference to the wiggling and jiggling when I ran. I could have cried but really, it just makes me laugh. I know he meant it in a loving yummy way =)
About Michelle
So here’ s the weight history
- 140 High School
- 160 Age 24 and married
- 140 Age 25 and Divorced
- 160 Hooked up with Hubby
- 180 within one year (YIKES!)
- 215 Age 32 (last year) and freaked out!
Luckily our home needed alot of TLC and I started doing home improvements and before I knew it (I really didn’t know it) I had dropped 15 pounds. My husband and I joined ww’s last year and I went down another 10 pounds. Then we went on vacation to Disney World (Love Disney!). I consciously chose not to be “op” during our vacation but then it turned into not being “op” at all and I gained 15 pounds back. It has taken me the last 10 weeks to get them back off again and I have been mad at myself at times because I’ve had to lose those 10 pounds twice instead of losing 10 more but it has made me more determined to make this a long-term change this time.
Thanks so much to Roni and this community!
