Ok, so this is it, huh? Day 1, I suppose I had to start at some point. I am going to loose 100 pounds in 365 days. I would like to loose more but one step at a time. I want to do it the right way and not yo-yo anymore. I am determined to do this and I hope you come along with me on this journey.
So I have battled with my weight for nearly all of my life. I was a chubby little girl and I was plump in grade school. I luckily lost weight before starting high school and I stayed at a decent weight thru high school and I began loosing weight again after high school.
I met a boy and fell in love and poof! I became pregnant at an early age and my daughter was born when I was 19 years old. I began loosing my pregnancy weight and I was close to being back to my pre-pregnancy weight and baby girl number two came along. Yes, my girls are 13 months apart and no, I am not completely nuts (just slightly). Well I gained nearly 70 pounds with my next pregnancy and the weight just kept piling on. It's amazing how quickly things can spin out of control.
Here I am, a woman at 5'6 and I was about 140-145 pounds and now I am at 285. Yes, there it is....aside from my physician/nurse I have never written that anywhere else or told anyone else that and I am now publishing it on the web! I do know that I am going to change things around. I am going to explore a new healthy lifestyle and change some bad habits. I will not continue the same cycle I have been following for these many years.
So here I am, day 1, 365 days to go and 100 pounds to loose!
megan, this is so awesome! i have no doubt it'll be hard, but you can totally do this!
ReplyDeletedo you have a plan/trainer in place? as my husband likes to remind me whenever i try to tackle something new, "if you fail to plan, you plan to fail."
please don't take that the wrong way!!! by no means do i think that's going to happen to you, just that if you haven't already, i encourage you to plan this all the way through so that you will *definitely* be successful!
this is the first step, and it looks like you're heading in the absolute best direction. love you, girly!!!! :D
What a great idea to have this blog! I'm right there with you all the way... Keep your confidence up even when the scale isn't cooperating with you.. keep it enjoyable - try different things - Boxing, rope undulation, yoga, MMA and never, ever, ever call it a WORKOUT - refer to it as a FUNOUT.
ReplyDeleteI wish you all the success you are striving for and am happy to swap stories of both our weight loss adventures! The best part about losing weight? Buying all new clothes and actually enjoying it!
I am supporting you 100% all the way. If you ever need help or advice on anything let me know. I have been on a weight loss journey as well and have learned a lot.
ReplyDeleteStick with it and keep on trucking along:)
Love ya girl!!!
Megan! Hey there. :) I am friends with Lindsay in your office and she forwarded me your new blog. I am all about blogs and will add you to my list. You can totally do this...just stay strong because it isn't easy to lose weight. My advice: Write out your goals and put them somewhere for you to look at everyday. And track your food!! Weight loss is 80% diet...10% activity...10% your parent's fault :) Rachel
