It’s here! Day 1 of the Weight Loss Challenge.
I have to say that I’m excited. I feel prepared and ready to rock-n-roll. I know it’s not going to be easy…that there will be bumps along the way, but this is truly the beginning of a major change in my life. I can feel it! It’s going to be different this time. I WILL lose this weight once and for all and so will YOU my friend.
Let’s do it – virtual High-5! 😉
Ok…so the scale – back to the scale. I bought a little digital number from Walmart a few days ago. I figure it will be good to see the fractions of a pound. Hey, there are days where 1/2 lb lost is cause for celebration, right?
Drum roll….(I’m hearing the annoying woman from The Biggest Loser’s voice in my head) 😉
My starting weight as of January 1, 2007 is exactly 278 lbs.
Errrrr…gulp. Yeah, that’s a pretty big number, isn’t it? I’m not going to dwell on this today – today is a GREAT day – a NEW day…there will be time later to ponder the fact that I have let myself get this heavy…this out of control with my weight. There will be time later to reflect from an emotional place of strength. Today I am moving into a new healthy way of living. This is my goal….to be healthy and fit!
No pressure, but please do feel free to post your starting weight here as well. I really do want us to help support one another in this process and tho we will be starting our journey from different places (weights), our process will be similar and we can not have too many cheerleaders to give us the encouragement that we will need.
So, are you with me?
🙂
