I know it's been awhile since I did this. I knew I was not eating well over the Holidays- which happens- and didn't dare to weigh myself.
I finally did and found myself at 194. Time to get back to it...
At work I saw an ad for "10 weeks to a New U" and something about weekly weigh-ins. I signed up, got a pamphlet on how to change some eating patterns and was told I would be weighed on Tuesday and that they have a short support meeting on Wednesdays @ 3. (when I am already in working)
We were told to choose a goal of how much we want to lose in 10 weeks. One pound a week being good, two great but to keep expectations reasonable.
I was thinking 10- one pound a week. Then I thought maybe I could lose two a week a couple times and figured 12. Then since 13 is my birthday number, I decided on a 13 pound weight loss for the 10 week period ending on March 20.
Tuesday morning I weighed myself at home knowing I would be weighed in at work later. I weighed 190. Yeah!
At work with my work clothes on I weighed in at 192.1. That seems right. Clothes are said to weigh a couple pounds right?
So, 13 pounds will be 179 on March 20. That means I will have 3 weeks and a few days to loose that final 4 pounds to reach my goal of 175 by my birthday!
I have to say, letting you all know how much I weigh is one thing, but there is definitely something about a public weigh-in that motivates you to make sure that number is less the next week!
If this program does nothing else than that for me, it will be enough! Here we go.....!
Well, I for one while be rooting and cheering for you and will NOT ge sending you any dark chocolates for Valentines Day like I usually do. How about some dark celery sticks instead. I'm so proud of your attempt to get in better shape and health.
