Making Memories

Scott & Kimm

Occupation
Location
Interests
We are a husband & Wife team who have been married for almost 25 years, and have known each other from the 6th grade on. Our son, Christopher, is going into the Police Acadamy, and will be a Law Enforcement Officer. Our Daughter, Shawna, and her husband, Michael, have been married for 4.5 years and just gave us our first Grandson, Austin. We have been through a lot over the past year and have now started to get everything back in order. One area we need to work on is our weight. We both weigh more than we ever have and need to get this area under control by taking off some pounds. Scott's goal is to loose 25 pounds. Kimm's goal is to loose 75 pounds. Our total combined weight loss goals are to loose 100 pounds. See Biggest looser Blog below for our Biggest Looser essay.

Biggest Loser Million Pound Match-Up Story

Biggest Loser Million Pound Match-Up Challenge! We entered the million pound match-up because we need to lose weight. We felt that being a part of something as big as the Biggest Loser would help us to succeed in our weight loss efforts. We wanted to have something to work for and someone to account to...who better then the Biggest Loser Team. Our life has been a bit of a roller coaster. Four years ago life was good. We had everything most people could ask for. We were financially set. We owned three homes, two new cars, RV, and farmland. We bought a business that needs some attention thinking we could re-vamp and get it back on its feet. Little did we know it would cost us everything we owned, after two years of business we were financially forced to give it up. We were left with no money but had our family, friends, and our health (we thought) to start over. One year later we found ourselves starting over, we now rent a home, drive older cars, and live pay check to pay check. We have now found we need to work on our health. We are both over weight and need to do something about it. We started watching the Biggest Loser on TV. We found ourselves drawn to the show and begin to think...if these people can lose weight so can we. We knew it would not be easy but would take a lot of hard work. Our plan to succeed will include right eating, exercise, and support of each other. We know that everyone feels they should win this challenge but we think it means more to us. Five years ago we were planning a 25th wedding Anniversary...we were going to go somewhere special. Now that we have started over we no longer are able to fulfill our dream of a special trip. When we heard that the winners of this challenge would get a trip to LA for the season final we thought...that could be our special trip and for us to be healthy and thinner would be the icing on the cake...well fat free icing.

It's been a long time

WOW it's been a long time sense our last blog. We have been good about putting up our wieght loss numbers.  We have been having housing problems so we've been scrambling  to find some were a little cheaper to leave.  We found a nice condo it's a littel smaller than what were use to but we are paying our bills.  We live in town now it's diffrent having neighbors.  But not a problem we will adjust, it's Elivs that's having the problem he is use to going out side when ever he whant's (he'll live).  As the wieght loss goes we are getting back on track moving dosen't help with the on eating out thing. Just a coulpe more days and we will be all settled in.

What's happenning

Well lets see our grandson came to visit and mom came with him dad showed up later in the week she forgot her walking shoe's so she could go no any walks with us in beautiful wine country of Paso robles.  Well the weigh in was not all that great Kimm lost zero Lbs. were I lost only 1 Lbs. that's  better than putting a puond on.  Our walking time has been getting better.  We took a friend on one of our walks and she got tired it was a 4 mile walk with a few hills that made Kimm fill verey good because she doesn't need to diet, maybe a little cardeo. wouldn't hurt

what's happening in are world

Today I was off so like I said I went on a good long walk 5 miles in 1 hour is not a bad walk after that we took the grandson to the beach. what a great day.

Loooong Week

I'ts been a long week sense our last blog so in a nut shell, superbowl weekend was a bust for the lossing weigt thing. We went to see old friends and the famliy and WOW, Let's just say the week we spent  prior in the gym was consumed by wine, chilly chesse dip and pizza. At least the Giants won not that I'm a Giants fan I just don't like the Patirots. I started off the week with a nice 3 mile brisk walk with a big hill and started wathing my calories better.

Oh my gosh

Today Kimm and I started are gym marathon, started off with a 5 mile bike ride but sense we realy didn't go any were I should say we road a bicycle with no wheels for 20 minuts then off to the weights. I haven't done this in year that's were the "Oh my gosh" came from.  I'm sure I'll fill better in the morning I hope.

Todays Doings

I'ts been a couple of days and living in wine country while trying to lose wieght is not, easy the calories in wine is high and hanging out with winemaker the last couple of nights is not good for dieting. Our food intake has been good and we've gone on walks the last two morings, wet and cold on Friday but we survived.  
January 24

Todays Doings

well just like I thought a bad weigh in, Kimm lost .5lbs and  I was trying to vote off the black team I guess I gained 1lbs. We came up with an idea to work out in a gym for free there are three gym's in our small town and we found out that they all give out a free one week trial so we are going to get at lest three weeks in the gym. I told Kimm that when we do this we are going to hit it hard. So look out world hear comes the new Team Manley.

Todays Doings

Oh boy ... I don't look forward to the wiegh in tomarrow the both of us. The last week was a roller coaster rider I normaly like them but not this one. I'm not one to make any excusses so I'm not going to. Today it rianed all stinken day, It's my day off and we were realy wanting to go on a hike down the coast line buy insted we did nothing but talk about The Biggest Losser I guesse we're just big lossers or just lazy. Will see tomarrow.
