Update!!!
Made my goal of 196- shooting down to 176 now- and I made my goal a month early!!! WAHOO WISH IS GREAT!!!
What a great idea! Thanks for getting it started.....
Okay officially my highest weight was 258 (at the birth of my 3rd dear child) She turns 4 tomorrow (4/26) so I'm finally buttoning down the hatches and unloading all the excess me.
When I married I was 135, pregnant with first child 150 up to 206, pregnant with 2nd child started at 190 up to 224- then got pregnant when that sweet baby was about 12 weeks old! and that's where we are now. In college I lost over 90 pounds and kept it off for 8 years- so I've done this before but with three sweet children in tow and the demands of keeping house and homeschooling- it's difficult to keep to a schedule for myself so here goes....
April 1st- started slimfasting- two meals and eat one sensible meal (most the time) I have lost 8 pounds (4/22 weigh in) so far and have added exercise. I walk for 30-45 minutes every weekday morning at 6am. I bike on the weekends and try to hit the nautilus machines at the Y 2x a week- more if I can squeeze it in.
(UPDATE: December 20: I haven't exercised in 4 weeks and it's showing!! The weight loss has slowed so I've been low carbing for 5 days and it's finally going down again- it'll be tight to hit 175 by next week but I'll be close- I was at 179 today!)
My goal is to be under 200 by our Disney trip in September (23-30) then to be at or under 175 by Christmas. I haven't really had any setbacks this month- I avoided the Easter chocolates but I did have a chili dog and chips last night which was not so sensible and I'm feeling yucky today- but I walked for 45 minutes and the water tastes so refreshing after moving a bit!
I hope to encourage all those needing to be a loser and especially those trying to dip below 200- I'm here with you and we can do this!!!
