healthy train | week 17.

Bobbi, you look amazing, seriously, amazing. Miss you guys! I will definitely be seeing you sometime this fall for the new arrival to the family. Oh and it’s another boy!!!

I can totally see a difference in your face….looks more slender. *hugs*

Hi Bobba Lou!!

I can definitely see a difference, just look at that face. I love you!!!!!

Ok I’m totally posting (for the first time I might add) at work (Oh the shame!!) but I had to chime in and tell you how great you look!!! I can tell a big difference in your middle!! I bet you’ve got a 6 pack under that new black t-shirt. And I know you’ve heard it before, but muscle weighs more than fat. You’re doing great!! Go Bobbi go!!!

I agree with what everyone says – it’s not the number on the scale, it is the way your clothes fit. Muscle weighs more than fat – and while you will overall lose weight – muscle burns more calories at rest than fat does. So do not get discouraged – I can tell a difference between picture 1 and 2! You look absolutely fabulous dahling!

Muscle weighs more than fat. Your working out a lot. Keep that in mind. Plus, you look GREAT!

not necessary to be bummed.
at least you’re sticking to it!!!
and btw… you look HOT!!!!!
keep at it.. it will all pay off in the end.
loves.

Just lurking and thought I would make a note. Just always look at your belt. You can really tell you’re losing b/c the little hangy-out part to the right of the buckle is longer!

Bobbi you look FABULOUS! Look at you!! Seriously……you should be so very proud.

I only lost 1lb last week…bleh…BUT I did hit my goal of loosing 25lbs by WPPI so that makes me happy.

Heres to hoping we both have a better weight loss week

Ok:

a) You are beautiful.
b) Your hair color is AH-MAZING.
c) You have a killlllller smile.
d) You are crazy talented.

Don’t sweat the small weight gain…you are perfect!

Your face looks so thin! and I love the hair color! Keep up the good work!

You look great honey! I can tell the difference on your face and waist!
Maybe is muscle weight!

I know all of us are most hard on ourselves…but really…there is a difference in your pictures. You have made progress – the proof is in those beautiful pictures. Don’t think about those numbers…just look at the way your clothes are fiitting…look at your skinny face!!! You are doing amazing!!!!!

I can totally tell a difference. You’re doing so well. Keep up the good work. YOU CAN DO IT! Hair is awesome too by the way.

Let’s get
Together and
Pump some iron. I have
15 to lose so I can fit back into my expensive clothes and cardio is great
But I know lifting and toning is what will really do the trick….

Bobbi you are such an inspiration, and there is a DEFINITE difference in your face. It’s also fun to see what happens with your hair. Remember it’s inches that matter SO much more than lbs. I love following this journey of yours. Don’t be bummed, you’ve made so much progress.

Bobbi- your pics are awesome!!! I can totally see a difference and I love the new hair!! I had a rough week with everything too, lots of emotions come up when losing weight. We tend to forget about the little things like looser clothes, thinner faced, and the ability to walk up & down stairs without being totally winded! We need to totally embrace those triumphs!
I was off my exercise plan a bit this week because I have a bum foot, but I did manage to lose 3 lbs. Bringing my total to 28!!

We can do this people!!

I see a HUGE difference! You look GREAT!! I’ve maintained for a week and a half! I’m bummed also. Maybe next week:)

you look good Chica! i noticed the belt too… LOL.. still gorgeous though. Keep it up! keep it up!!! *hugs*

What are you talking about, you look AMAZING!!! You can notice a difference, you’re doing a great job. I’m trying to board the weight loss train but can’t seem to run fast enough to catch it, you’re an inspiration! Love your blog, I stalk it every day but rarely comment, I promise to do that more often! P.S. Only the cool kids wear their belt crooked

You don’t see a difference!!? Among you face looking nice and fresh the…ahem…girls are looking quite perky. I’m sorry but I just couldn’t NOT say anything:) Keep the hard work up and don’t be so hard on yourself AND I completely agree with Mike about the .8 pounds;)

I was just at Betsy’s telling her how amazing you look. What I think is the best is #1 Watching the tail of your belt get longer and #2 Looking at your hair and how stinkin’ fast it grows. Great job! Way to stick with it.

Just a blog-stalker here, but I wanted to point out your belt!!! Did you notice how many holes over you are from picture one to picture three!?!?! Now that is some measurable progress!!!

Sorry, i’m chiming in so late and saying the same thing everybody is doing but I too SOOOO see a big difference in your face (down by your chin, missy!) arms and legs! Wooo hoo!!

Lookin’ good, and keep your head up!

Just a quick note from a long time lurker and VERY rare comment-er. . . . You can see the difference in your upper arms. . . and definitely in the face. . .

And I really like the new hair. . .

You look great- it’s a very rough thing to stay motivated, and you are doing exceptionally well at plowing through the rough spots.

Awwww Bobbi,dont b down…you’ve done brilliantly,we all have our off weeks…or several in my case
I can totally tell that you’ve lost weight…look at your waist…looking super hot. Im loving your new hair color by the way and holy wow does ur hair grow fast..i love it!
I managed to loose 1 1/2lbs this week…an im putting my punchbag up this weekend..so im gonna b rockin the cardio…fingers crossed for next week!!

AYKM?!??! You can totally tell! Just look at your waist and jaw line! You are looking good!! Keep at it. Some weeks are just more tough than others. Try not to be bummed.

okay.. to steal your words… AYKM!?!?!? YOU CAN’T SEE A DIFFERENCE??!?! Look at your shoulders, the shadow on your neck! There’s a BIG difference there. Your neck looks slimmer, yours shoulders smoother, etc. You’re lookin’ good. Don’t get down on yourself cuz you sure work harder at this than anyone I know and you should be rewarding and praising yourself for keeping so hard-core about it. We’re joining a gym soon because of your attitude so I don’t want to hear it. YOU ROCK!

Bobbi…
Just a fellow blog stalker (you both are *A*M*A*Z*I*N*G and should be so proud of your work)….anyways, I just had to chime in on this post and tell you that you look fabulous!!! And I think what you are doing is amazing. And I think it is great you are photo documenting it so you can really see the transformation!! Congrats! You look amazing girl!!

Bobbi, you look at yourself everyday, so of course it’s hard to see a difference, but like everyone else has said above, I can totally see a difference! You look great!

Bobbi, You look amazing! I can see the difference in those pictures! I go through the same thing – losing a few pounds here without really trying too hard, then gaining a few stinking .8lbs when you feel like you’ve worked out longer and harder than the previous week, that’s how it is, but you’ve stayed on that healthy train CHOO CHOO! And I think your husband is right, it’s in your longer hair!
Seriously, keep it up, girl!
p.s. did you you ever have any of those “Get In Shape Girl!” sweatbands or hoola hoops growing up? I had the hoola hoop and some headband. I should see if they are still in the basement at my parents’ house!

ps: i wear my belts to the side too :).

I can so see a difference in the pics!! Especially in the face and the waist!! The extra weight probably just is muscle!! I need to take some lessons from you because I have no will power at all!

You look awesome Bobby, I bet your gain was MUSCLE.

I’m still having trouble understanding last week….I lost exactly one pound this week but because of that stupid gain last week, that means I’ve only lost a little over 5 pounds in 17 weeks, so don’t beat yourself up too bad.

Bobbi!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dont stress so much! You look freakin amazing! Look at your face and your torso! So so much skinnier! You look HOT girlie!
I totally understand what you mean when you say you are so frustrated since you have been working so hard, but I guess you cant expect your body to be constantly loosing weight all the time! But your working out is def showing!!!

You look so much thinner and toned! I know you are getting tons of suggestions…but I’m going to add my two cents as well… allow your self one (in moderation ) cheat day. This way your body isn’t expecting the same thing day after day. It might shock your body and get it to start burning lots of fat again. Even on biggest loser, they have a cheat day after their weigh in.
Keep up the amazing work!

Are you kidding me, you look fabulous! I can totally see a difference! Keep up the good work and remember, muscle weighs more. That .8 gain is probably just that, or water. LOL!

Awww Bobbi, you’re still a hottie! Look seriously…if you want to do more pics, you’re gonna need a side profile shot too…just because you can’t see it in the front doesn’t mean you’re not shrinking anyway. (and muscle weighs more than fat!)

Looking at the pics, you can totally see it! Your pants look like you’re swimming in them (get some skinny jeans, you’ll see the difference!!!) and your face is showing more definition too….should we even get into the ‘girls’ appearance?? (I hated it seemed like they were the first thing to go! LOL)

PLUS Look at all of the background you can see between your arms and body.

don’t beat yourself up…you’re doing great!!

I’m stuck still at 165. Glad I’m not going up (and pms water weight is around the corner…) Ahh well. I just ordered a better scale. Afraid what it’s going to tell me.

seriously- i think you need to be a LOT nicer to yourself. photo1- hot bobbi. photo 3- SMOKIN’ HOT BOBBI.
You LOOK fantastic. Please FEEL as fantastic as you look k? xoxo

holy guacamole you look friggin fabuloso!!! this is so inspiring and promising!!! have an awesome weekend!! hope to see you at wppi!

WOW WOW WOW!!! You are such an inspiration. I’m sure the gain is pure rockin’ muscle from all that working out. You look great!

I personally think the .8 pounds is her longer hair

I’ve run 17 miles since Firday and haven’t lost a pound. I guess we are maintaining? At least my clothes fit nicely!

Dude… DON’T be so bummed out! You’re doing GREAT and these are natural things that our bodies do… They don’t always listen to us! So keep on rockin, b!
