Weigh In Thursday

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.....!
