Biggest Loser Weeks to a New Life

okay, I know it has been forever since I have done anything on here.  We have had a ton of medical issues this past year and I have lost sight of myself and my goal of being a healthier, skinnier self.  I weighed in the other morning and I am at 270 lbs ... I have never weighed this much in my life. I am disgusted with myself and upset.  Randy's aunt signed a bunch of us up for a Biggest Loser healthier lifestyle challenge.  Each week we get a list of guidelines to follow and we get points for every goal we accomplish that week.  This isn't a challenge to lose weight, it is to help build healthier habits to help you lose weight and be healthier about doing it.  So I decided each week I will post the guidelines for that week and if any of you would like to try this lifestyle change with us you can follow along.
Week 1
- Drink 8 (8 oz) glasses of water ..... 5 points per day
- Stop eating at a set cut-off time (usually 2-3 hours before you go to bed, I chose 7 pm) ..... 5 points per day
- Walk 6000 steps in a day ...... (1000-2000 is 1 pt, 2001-4000 is 2 pts, 4001-5999 is 3 pts, 6000 + is 5pts)
Total points possible for this week is 105 ... Good Luck and I would like to hear how everyone does at the end of the week

Late : Wednesday Weigh In

Sorry I missed yesterday morning, my mind was working well, since we were at the ER until 2:00 am, so I didn't register it was Wednesday until later that night. So I weighed this morning instead. Today I am at 265.6 lbs, so we are down a bit from last week. Hopefully we can continue in that direction.

Wednesday Weigh In

Not good, I weighed in at 267 ... right back to where I started. Guess it is time to get serious and start all over again.

Wednesday Weight In

Another not so good week ... Hopefully now that a lot of the medical stress is over, maybe I can keep focused and see the results I want. I weighed in at 263.6 lbs this morning.

Wednesday Weigh-In

This week wasn't a good one. Stress is not good for me. I gained 0.4 lbs. I weighed in at 263 lbs this morning.

Wednesday Weigh In #1

Okay, this week I haven't been my best on eating. We ate lots of munchies at the track this weekend instead of real meals. I have also been sleeping a lot because my jaw is swollen and very sore. But even with all my excuses, I weighed in at 262.6 lbs this morning, that is 4.4 lbs lost this week. I am hoping to keep on this path and continue to go in the downward direction. Good Luck to all of you, I hope you all are also going in the right direction.

Rock It - June 1, 2012

A friend of mine, Bree Gowers, has started a weight loss journey on her blog (http://gowersfam.blogspot.com/) called Wearing (weighing) Less. She is going to work the next 6 months to try and lose as much as possible and then on June 1, 2012 post a picture of herself in a swimsuit. She is looking for others to join her on this weight loss quest, so I thought I would share it here.

I am wanting to get my but in gear again. I am furiated to think a little over a year ago I weighed less than 200 lbs and now I weighed in this morning at 267 lbs. This is the most I have ever weighed. I am going to start being serious again, now that the medical issues are hopefully behind us. I will weigh in every wednesday on here, to help keep me on tract. If you would like to join me, please feel free to follow and add your weigh ins and things that you have found to help you lose the weight. If you are not an author on this site please leave a message and I will send you an invite, so that we can all work together on this journey.
