How funny when I just start talking about myself and trying to lose weight, I go to a blog of a friend of mine and she has stated some of the same. She one-upped me though and really laid it all out there- her stats I mean. I am, for better or worse, going to do the same. It's not so that you all can gasp at the astronomical number of my weight (and you probably will....just don't tell me that you did, and we'll be fine), but so that I can look that number in the eye and say "no more!" No more am I gonna allow that to be a part of my stats. I need to let others know also as a motivator. If I tell people that I'm trying to lose weight, then I better do it. I'm hoping to update these numbers. Hopefully they'll go down (continously) to show that I can do it and to be an encourager to those who also want to lose weight or are thinking about it. I also hope that if you see my struggling, you'll lift me up and keep me going.
So here goes:
Starting weight- 188
final goal weight-130
Goal by end of June- 165
Goal by end of 2009- 130
So I'm giving myself a year to get to my FINAL goal weight. Wish me luck. (And to my friends who are also doing this- I love you and wish you much luck as well)
Girl, I'm glad you did that. It's not so scary when someone else is out there putting it all out. It's scary to be closer to 200 than 100 isn't it? Let's do our best to change that!!
ReplyDeleteYes it is scary....and I'm trying. Bad habits are HARD to break. :\
ReplyDeleteGood for you! I will keep you in my prayers. My son is almost 7 and I am going to try to lose that extra 20 pounds of pregnancy weight this year! Whew! Who knew being an adult would be so hard? I have a blog too and I am going to add yours to mine. Check mine out! It's www.paigebarnes.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteLove yours! It's so cute!
Paige, I've never known you to BE (certainly not LOOK) overweight. I will definitely go check out your blog. Thanks so much for coming here and checking mine out. As mothers, often we need to be there for one another. God Bless!
