We're a best friend team doing the Biggest Loser Million Pound Match-Up together from two different states! We are committed to helping each other reach our personal fitness goals, regardless of distance. Currently Ashley weighs 173 lbs and Molly weighs 201 lbs. We would each like to lose 20 lbs, for a combined weight loss of 40 lbs. Our ultimate goal is to not only become healthier, but also train for a fall marathon benefiting Leukemia and Lymphoma research. We feel that being a part of this challenge will help us stay on track with our weight loss and marathon goals. We both get bored very easily, so we are going to try a combination of weight loss and conditioning methods including Tae-Bo, Dance Dance Revolution, Yoga Booty Ballet, dog walks, running, hiking in the field through work and current research projects, and other outdoor activities. We should win this contest because we are committed to our own health goals, being good role models for young women, and raising awareness for cancer research.

OMG 100 POUNDS IS AWESOME-I also love Kickboxing and Dance Dance Revolution. I decided to buy a charm bracelet and a charm for every 20 pounds I lose. I have to lose 140-3 more til I get my first charm. Kelley

Half-marathon!!

We ran our half-marathon October 11th, in beautiful fall weather in Ashland, WI. We did great. I really owe Ashley for pushing me so hard. I never would have had a time like that without her. It was so much fun. Hopefully in the next month I can refresh our goals, our pics and spice up the page a little!

From Ashley

So its been a crazy long time since I've written anything on here, but I just got back from doing research down in Texas and am ready to get back into the swing of things.  I'm not sure exactly how much I weighed before I left, but after a summer of walking a ridiculous amount in the desert every day all summer long, I am down to 143 as of this morning...so 110 lbs down all together over the past year and a half!  Now the trick will be to hold onto that weight loss as the fall progresses (and I have to sit around in my office for hours on end) but I think that my eating habits are on track and with the training for the half marathon that Molly has been talking about, I totally think that its doable.  The one thing that I have been struggling with is how to be satisfied with the accomplishments.  I am the type of person that really needs to be working towards a goal, so I think the body fat analyzer that Molly has been talking about may be a good next step for me, so I can have something to focus on other than the scale.  Other than that nothing new is up here....but I cant wait for the race, and I totally feel like its going to feel like a huge accomplishment for both Molly and I after all of the hard work we've put in.  Good luck everyone else on your weight loss goals!  You can do it!

from molly

Today I got an Omron Body Fat Monitor to set a new goal based on my body fat percentage. For the next few weeks I'll watch it to see how much it'll move every few days, probably end up taking a reading every week. I didn't take the reading at the right time according to the manual today, but I doubt it's very far off. It said 24% body fat, which I think is pretty close, so I'll aim for maybe 15 percent. I'm sure that'll take me quite a while to accomplish. Nothing official yet. Plus, we're running a half-marathon in October, so eight weeks away. My newest plan for the next 8 weeks I plan on working my way up to begin the hundred push-up challenge, begin the hundred push-up challenge, and work up my running endurance. I'm excited about getting ready. I hope the next few weeks go fast and then the trip to Ashland for the half-marathon goes super slow, because I won't want it to end!!!

from Molly, lots to tell & little time to tell it

So, this morning I hit an important goal mark- 153 pounds even, which officially puts me in the 'normal weight range' according to my BMI. That's 47 pounds lost, and is a great new starting place for continuing, and the result of almost exactly 7 months of hard work. In addition to that, Ashley and I, barring catastrophe, are participating in a half-marathon in Ashland, WI in October and I feel it is our victory lap. We may not be able to run the whole thing, but I think it's completion will  exemplify our will to fight the weight we've had and our dedication to being healthy beautiful ladies! I'm just absolutely thrilled. I am so happy about hitting my weight goal that I'm a little paralyzed. This is where it is first reported to anyone besides my boyfriend, and I want to tell the world, but I don't even know where to start. I wish I knew everyone read this, but I don't think many people do.
Anyways, I'm super proud of myself, and I hope everyone has a chance to reach this kind of benchmark for themselves, weight-related or not!

10k run, from molly

I did a 10k run this morning. whew. I can't quite run a 5k yet, but I thought I'd get 2 5ks for the price of one. my left foot i think is going to have a decent blister on the heel, but i feel good. I'm one pound shy of losing 40 since we started this in January. that's been slow, but for the most part i think i'm pretty patient, as long as the overall trend over the next few months is a downward one. hope everyone who is still out there working out is going strong!
