Back during the last week of March I decided that I was going to make a lifestyle change. I've been extremely overweight my entire life, and I had simply had enough! I joined weight watchers with a couple of girls from work, joined a local gym, and committed myself to having a healthy lifestyle. Before even attending my first meeting, I decided that the first mini-goal I was going to set for myself was to lose 70lbs. It was 7 months until my wedding, so I decided that I would shoot for 10lbs. a month up until my wedding.
Now, I know many of you will say that this is too high of a goal and that I should not lose weight this quickly. I must add that I weighed A LOT (see below), and weight comes off much quicker the more overweight you are. Having a weekly weight loss goal of 2.5lbs. really isn't unheard of for someone of my weight. I have not starved myself or done anything unhealthy. I eat all of my pointsplus every day, and work out 6 days a week. On average, I even use around 10 of my weekly PP as well.
Anyway, today I surpassed my mini goal weight and have lost a total of 72.2lbs! I never imagined that I would lose that much weight in such a short amount of time. I've never before made it this far while trying to lose weight. I have a totally different relationship with food and exercise, and I've never felt better. While I still have a long road ahead of me, I'm so excited to take a moment to celebrate meeting this mini goal!
As some of you might know, I've not before been comfortable sharing my starting weight on this board. In fact, there are only 2 people out there that know my starting weight: my fiance and my doctor. Today, I feel ready to share and to truely hold myself accountable with you ladies!
