  • 249: Weigh - In

    Yes, I had another week hiatus.  Why?  Because, I'm sick.  Again.  Jesus Christ, what is with me this year?  I haven't been this sick, ever.  I don't know what's going on and I don't rightly care for it.  It's one cold right after the other.  However, I'm at the tale end of this cold so, that's good.  I imagine that in a day or two I'll be 100%.  

    Well, let's get to the weigh-in. 

    Starting Weight: 350

    Previous Weight: 290.2

    Current Weight: 286.4

    Loss: 3.8

    Total Loss: 63.6

    I have to tell you, I'm pretty amazed.  Granted, I haven't weighed in since the Sunday before Christmas.  So, it's been two weeks.  However, I literally haven't worked out in a week and I wasn't super strict about my calories this week because I've been sick and I have a hard time being good when I feel so bad.  But, it's a loss and I'm going to take it and I'm going to move on from there.  Pretty soon, each weigh-in is going to be a new low for me.  I'm pretty sure when I graduated high school I was around 275.  So, really, my adult weight has always been in these high numbers.  I haven't weighed 285 since 2008.  I'm pretty pumped for these all new lows.  I'm really excited to see what my body looks like as I start to lose this weight.  I don't have pictures, really.  I just don't know.  I'm going to photograph my body more and more in these coming months so that I never forget what I looked like at these weights so that I never come back here again.  

    Anyway, if you remember (which you probably don't) my goal was to be 287 by January 14th.  Well, I kind of surpassed that already so I need new goals.  By February 4th, I want to be 278.4.  That's with a 2 pound loss every week.  In the calendar on my phone, I've gone in a put in my goal weight for the next 4 weigh-ins, when that day comes I'm going to put the actual weight in as well.  I got the calendar idea from @needtolose115 and just added my own little twist on it so that it's motivating for me.  It's also a way for me to carry around my progress with me so that I know where I'm at all times.  I can look back and see where I've been and how much I've tackled without having to rummage through my Xanga or MFP or Jillian Michaels.  Yes, I track this on 3 different places--I'm insane.  

    Here's to healthy choices!
