0.07%

Here are the immediate goals that I have for myself.  I have already signed up and paid for my first ever 5K so I don't chicken out, but now I have to be able to actually do it!  I tried unsuccessfully the first week of couch to 5K and had to stop half way through it.  I will re-try it on Friday!

1. Weigh 299 pounds!!
2. Successfully finish W1D1 of C25K
3. Complete C25K
4. Finish a 5K (April 20, 2013)
5. Weigh 275.

I am really worried right now that I will fail.  I am so tired of failing at weight loss. Through this journey, I am quickly learning that I have no willpower or endurance. I will end this on a positive note, though.  Today hubby and I weighed in on our first weekly weight loss competition...and I beat him by 0.07%!!!  Ha ha. Now he has the full responsibility of taking care of the animals until next weigh in Wednesday.

Attempt 3

So I totally feel completely off the bandwagon. Hubby and I got back on yesterday. I weighed in at 332.4 and he in at 356. We are following as best as we can to Bob Harper's skinny rules. I am also following some of the former Biggest Loser contestants to see what all they eat and how they workout for inspiration. I also admire Amanda Tyson. Love her!!

Tonight I did the 1st half of C25K because it was all I could muster. We then ended the night with Biggest Loser on the Kinnect.

My goal is still to be 299 by New Year's Eve. I do not want to go into a new year weighing in the 300s!!!!!!!!

Next up--> detailed goals!

Turtle power!

I'm still trucking along on my weight loss journey. I've reaches 24 successive days of eating healthy. I haven't went over my calorie limit more than once. I'm still losing weight, but only at half pound increments weekly. It feels like this will take a lifetime to reach my ultimate weight loss goal! I did make mini goals to reach throughout my journey with my first goal being 330 by August 1. I would have had to lost 9 pounds in a month and at first it seemed very attainable, but with only losing 2.5 this month I will not reach that goal:( I will reevaluate my goals on August 1, but until then, I'm going to kick up my exercise routine. Slow & steady wins the race, right?

Cheater cheater

I haven't fallen off the bandwagon yet! I've stuck to my diet and have lost 10.5 pounds in two weeks. I didn't lose nearly as much this week as I did last week and that's okay!

Tonight I'm having my full on cheat meal and I'm completely enjoying without regret. I had a big Mac and a large fry with a diet coke! For snack right now I'm have popcorn and semi sweet Choco chips! Yum!

Plateau maybe?

I'm not sure what's going on with my body currently, but I'm tired of eating right, exercising, & watching my weight go up!! I'm not going to stress about it too much right now, but for next week I will adjust my food a little to see what changes happen then.

On a positive note: I turned down brownies tonight at church!! Huge accomplishment for me!

8.6

It's been 6 days since I've started this diet and I have stuck to it perfectly with the exception of Wednesday night's dinner. It has paid off too! I am down 8.6 pounds as I weighed in this morning at 339. I am well on my way to being 330 by August 1!

Hubby and I sat down last night to set our goals for weight loss. It will take me a whole 2 years and 2 months to reach my goal weight of 150lbs. It will take hubby 1 year 2 months to reach his goal of 210.

4th @ 1st

I hope everyone had a safe and happy Independence Day. I was at my church today from 9am-3pm working at our community outreach, 4th at 1st. It was a 106 degrees and even with sunblock, I'm burnt badly. I ate in moderation and drunk over 100ozs of water and still feel sick. I hope to feel better tomorrow and be back to my diet.
