Wow, so I haven't blogged in a whole month! I really thought I would be one of those people who would blog like 50x a day. I created a secret FB group of all my friends I know who want to lose weight and so I update how things are going there. After I wrote my frustrated post on Oct 2, I pondered "doing something" for a few more days and then jumped in slowly to following my Weight Watchers points, something that I had a membership too for months but never used. The wake up call came when the scale said 285 for the first time in my life. The first time ever. I weighed 281 before giving birth to Chloe, but lost it immediately after having her. I started following Weight loss FB pages and felt more and more and more empowered!
I have been following Weight Watcher points and using Myfitnesspal to track calories for 4 weeks now and the scale read 275.8 today and yesterday! I have to bask in this, not because I am overly excited, but because I have stuck to something and lost weight! I was down in the 250s in Jan-March, but gave up very easily. I find myself looking back and wishing I had only stuck with it. I could have very easily been 200 pounds by then and smaller than I have been in over 5 years! But I can't think about that now. For now, I am happy that I am losing and that I have found awesome support on Facebook. My next goal is to consistently exercise, something that i haven't yet done. I need to find something I love and something that keeps me going and motivated! I have lots of different things like workout DVD's, Wii games, and I could of course walk! I think once I start moving more I will get even more motivated! I would like to be down a dress size by Christmas, if not 2.
