D-Day: We're Joining J-Simps!

Alrighty, the day is here. The day of humiliation. And we are, truly, humiliated. Apparently the holiday season took more of a toll on us than we thought.... So we'll take a large humbling breath and tell you our starting points.  I'll also have you know that I didn't want to share my weight. I was just going to let you know how much I lost (or didn't lose) each weigh-in, get to my goal weight, and let all of you do some math to find out my starting weight....But Patrick said I couldn't. SO HERE YA GO:

Margaret
Starting Weight: 160.8 
Chest: 36DD
Waist: 36 inches 
Hips: 39.5

Patrick
Starting Weight: 220.6
Chest: 41"
Waist: 39.5"
Hips: 40"
Neck: 16.25" 

Sorry we're not taking half naked pictures. Maybe when we're so fit and thin we can hardly stand it. I don't think anyone should see our partially-clothed bodies.

For those of you who don't know how Weight Watchers works, here's how:
Based on our weights, Patrick and I have a certain amount of points to use each day. Each food has an allotted amount of points with fruits and vegetables being 0 points. In all unfairness of unfairness, Patrick gets 47 points a day while I get 27.
We also get 49 weekly points to spread throughout the week as we want. These are supposed to be used for "special occasions" when you might be eating a little more or something.
Activity points help us, as well. The more we work out, the more activity points we can trade in for food. For example, if I run for 30 minutes, I can earn 6 activity points.
Weight Watchers doesn't want us to get too ahead of ourselves, we've set "do-able" goals for now. My first goal is to lose 15 lbs and Patrick's first goal is to lose 20 lbs.

For today, I'm having an egg white scramble with some black beans, fat free sour cream, and salsa. For lunch, Patrick made the WW beef stew recipe. When I get home from work at 11, I'm usually hungry, So my "dinner" is some yogurt and fruit when I get home. I also have fruit, cottage cheese and other snacks for throughout the day.

Well, we're on our way! We'll be weighing in weekly and sharing some recipes and some of the stuff we like and don't like. Our woos and our woes, if you will.

Happy New Year!
