Where I've been

Well, here it goes. I've been wanting to start a blog about my weight loss journey since it started, but it's taken me forever to get to this point. So much happening which doesn't belong in this blog.

I have attempted Weight Watcher's several times on my own to never have lost any weight. In March 2008 I started WW online, never stopped paying for it and by January 2009 had put on about 20 lbs. In December 2008 I said I was going to start attending WW meetings. Finally got my nerve up to go to the 1st meeting on January 24, 2009 at my top weight of 273.8.

Since my first WW meeting, I've consistently lost weight:

  • 1/31 - 270.4 - down 3.4
  • 2/7 - 267.6 - down 2.8 ** hit my first 5 lbs
  • 2/14 - 265.6 - down 2
  • 2/21 - 264.6 - down 1
  • 2/28 - 261.6 - down 3 ** hit my first 10 lbs!
  • 3/7 - 261.6 - even
  • 3/14 - 259.4 - down 2.2 - hit my 5% goal!!!
  • 3/21 - 258.4 - down 1- hit my first 15 lbs!
  • 3/28 - 256.2 - down 2.2 - got 2 bravo stickers at my WW meeting for making good choices!
  • 4/4 - 254.6 - down 1.6
  • 4/11 - 253.4 - down 1.2 - hit 20 lbs!
  • 4/18 - 252.8 - down .6
  • 4/25 - 251.6 - down 1.2
  • 5/2 - 249.4 - down 2.2
  • 5/9 - 249.2 - down .2
  • 5/16 - 250 - up .8 * this was my first gain, I knew it would happen eventually and I'm glad it was not a whole lb
  • 5/23 - 246.6 - down 3.4 - hit my 10%, hit 25 lbs - very very very exciting day!
  • 5/30 - 246 - down .6 for a total of 27.8
  • 6/6 - 245 - down 1 for a total of 28.8
  • 6/13 - 245.4 - up .4 bad week, could have honestly been worse
  • 6/20 - no weigh in, was out of town
  • 6/27 - down .2 - really really shocked that I didn't gain more than a pound, I was thrilled with the loss
I have not been following the plan as I should lately. Feel like I needed some motivation. Found out that there is a Biggest Loser compitition at work and I am ready to use that as my motivation.

There will be no official weigh in this coming week because of 4th of July being on Saturday, but I will hopefully have a good weigh in next Saturday. Been eating badly the last 2 days, but I've walked more this week than I did all of last week, so that's a plus!
