weigh-in wednesday: week 2 results!

Not gunna lie...T didn't have the best week on weight watchers this week. No writing food/points down...and seester, Ally, was down visiting for J's high school graduation {eek!} that i kinda just ate whatever i wanted :/ although i did try to be good for the last few days and i was still good about my workouts. {gotta find the positive in things i guess} So i still went to my meeting yesterday [[expecting to gain]] and i was pleasantly surprised!!

a LOSS of 1.2 lbs!
for a total of 4.8 lbs lost.
{SHOUT FOR JOY!}

I love my ww leader...and he told me that next week we are definitely going to be celebrating my 5 pounds! Honestly i don't care how fast i lose this weight...as long as i make lifestyle changes and stick to them!! :)

National Running Day- take 2!

T and J are proud to announce that they actually followed through and went running! :) well sorta...they ran for 5 minutes total...and even that little amount made them sweaty and out of breath. But atleast they did it! Now all the 2 phat chicks have to do is make it a habit!! and don't you fret...it will happen!! :)

Here is T and J's 'National Running Day" collage. And dang...doesn't J look like a SKINNY chick ;)

p.s. this is what T cooked up for breakfast and it was mighty d-e-l-i-s-h-! 2 scrambled eggs with hot sauce, seasoning, bell pepper, green onions, spinach and lots of yummy ooey-gooey cheese!!...all topped on a whole wheat sandwhich thin :P {{8 WW points}}

weigh-in-wednesday, week 1 results...

Weight loss has been an on-going battle with me in my life. I think i have been chubby since the third grade and ever since then have never really felt good about myself. Sometimes i feel like i have confidence, (i think more so when i am around people i am comfortable with) but i know that if i lost weight and became healthy i would feel SO much better about myself. I mean image really is a big deal...you can't say that people aren't judged by the way they look...everyone does it, it is human nature. So i am so excited to say that i have taken the step in the right direction and joined Weight Watchers and have been making healthier choices in every day life!! (and it feels good!) woo hoo :) and it showed this week on the scale! (which is also a hard thing for me because i am so use to weighing on my scale at home pretty much every single day. but i told myself that i would wait until tuesdays to be excited, or sad, about the number i see since your weight really does fluctuate from day to day)

SO...

week 1: loss of 3.6 lbs

Total WL: 3.6 lbs

i am definitely happy with that number on the scale! :) i can't wait to go to my meeting next week and see what the results are!

National Running Day!


T was seen running 5 minutes today at the gym, in 1-minute increments...slowly but surely she will get there! and she just might go running around her neighborhood later tonight with J!

so...

WILL YOU BE RUNNING TODAY?! :)

hello again!

so lets just begin by saying...THE 2 PHAT CHICKS ARE THE WORST BLOGGERS EVER! it has been a more than appropriate length of time from our last blog. and we are so sorry! we fully understand that this journey of weight loss is incredibally hard, and since our last post we havent done much more in losing weight. So now, T has decided to go to Weight Watchers meetings and will be doing it right along side her, just not attendig the meeting.So we have a renewed vigor to lose weight and be good again :] From this point forward, we will be doing weigh-in-wednesdays and possibly favorite-fridays with our favorite recipies, snacks, websites, songs, etc. so look forward to our new found journey faithful chubby readers!

{sorry i didn't take any pictures of my own...and this one looks much prettier than mine! haha}

So last night I decided to try out this recipe: Lemon Herb Zucchini Fettuccine [click the link to get the recipe and make it yourself!] from "Our Best Bites". It was DELISH!!! I will definately be having the leftovers for lunch today! :o)

I went on the Livestrong today and put the recipe in the recipe builder. I found out there was about 589 calories per serving, which was a 1/4 of the batch. Not too bad! and if you added more cheese it would be a little more, but still not a ton! Then just add a few slices of french bread to menu and you have yourself a nice, healthy dinner! {or so i think}

So do our fellow readers have any recipes that they think The 2 Phat Chicks need to try?! Please tell! :o)

Where's T and J?!?!

{YES THEY HAVE BEEN MISSING ON HERE FOR A WHILE!}


What is with The 2 Phat Chicks...they have these great ideas and goals and just can't seem to find the motivation to stick with them. They aren't doing AWFUL by any means, just not being the best they could be right now. {what a shame!} So this week both T and J's mini goal is going to be:

COUNT CALORIES!!

Even if they mess up a little...write everything down and keep track of their intake. Sounds like a good goal to me! :o)

and tonight T is going to try a new recipe! woo hoo! look forward to Lemon Herb Zucchini Fettuccine. Mmmm...sounds quite delish, right?!

Hope all our 'phat chick lovers' have a splended day! :o)


*p.s. currently listening to QUIETDRIVE...love them right now!
