So here it is. I've finally have reached it. The most weight I have ever weighed that is. 10 years ago, before I got married or had kids, I weighed in at 98lbs. For my height of 4"11, that's ideal. I know I will never see that again, and honestly, I really don't want to.
Now, 10 years and 3 beautiful kids later, I am weighing 63lbs more than what I used to. Yup, I am now at 161lbs. I guess I must carry it well since people say I don't look like I weigh that much. Or my clothes cover it well. Either way, I know the fat is there and I am ready to shed it and be rid of it.
I am not doing any special diets or taking any special pills. I am going to try and do it the old fashion way. By drinking lots of water, watching what I eat and exercising. My biggest weaknest is soda. I love Pepsi and Dr. Pepper!!! I haven't had any since Saturday, so thats a start!
My hubby and in laws and I all have a bet going. To see who can lose the most weight. We weighed in on the Sunday January 4th and will weigh in every month on the 4th. Everyone pays in $5 and the winner will receive $20 for the month. Now I'm not really in it for the money, but that is a great incentive! Don't you think? haha
So we will be weighing in on the 4th, but me personally, I will weigh in every week. Probably every Sunday since that is when I weighed in last. I will most likely take pictures too to see if you can tell a difference or not.
With that being said, here is what I used to look like. This was in January/February of 1999 right after I had my first child, weighing in at 115lbs:
And here are my pictures for this week, almost 10 years later, weighing in at 161lbs:
Looking at my pictures, I realize that its really all in my belly. I look like what I looked like when I was pregnant. Sad.
So my ultimate goal is to get down to 125 or 130. So 31-36lbs to lose. I am not setting a date as to when I want to be down to that. I will be setting mini goals to see if I can actually lose any weight at all.
My first mini goal is to lose 11lbs and get down to 150lbs. Lets see how long it takes. I will update this every week with my current weight and a current picture. And anything else I can think of.
Wish me luck!!!!
