I can’t stand keeping track of weight loss. It sucks! Actually, it goes against my advice. Really. I don’t think people should weigh. If you feel you must keep track, then measuring inches is better. I prefer looking in the mirror. Call me old fashioned, but when I was losing weight before, I threw my scale in the trash. Honestly! I was working so hard and at the end of one week I got on the scale and gained 2 pounds. Are you freakin’ kidding me? It just isn’t accurate for week to week keeping track. However, since you are following this blog to find out my weight loss, I am going to weigh every 2 weeks for now. I will measure weekly.
Beginning weight as of November 28th, 2007 is 235 pounds.
I will be weighing on my grandparents scale (like I said, I don’t own one). They have one of those scales like you see in gyms or doctors’ offices where you move the bar over and you have to keep going and going. So embarrassing!
Beginning Measurements are as follows: (added Saturday November 30th)
-Neck: 13.25 inches
-Left Arm: 12.75 inches
-Right Arm: just under 13 inches
-Bust: 43 inches
-Waist: 36.5 inches
-Abdomen: 48 inches
-Hips: 51.5 inches
-Left Thigh: 27 inches
-Right Thigh: 27 inches
-Left Calf: 16 inches
-Right Calf: 16 inches
Total Inches: 304!!!!!
That should cover it.
Uuugghhhh!

I am getting skinny and you get to watch me do it. That’s the gist of it. The whole story is this: I weighed 295 when I became pregnant with my first child, 265 when I conceived my second child and then worked my butt of (literally) to be 204 when I found out I was pregnant with my third who is now only 7 weeks old. I was going to go into detail on how I lost the weight then, but it dawned on me this morning that’s not why you’ll come here. That’s over and done with. I am now 235 lbs and while I lost 95 lbs in the past, that means diddly squat now. What does matter is watching me do it AGAIN!
I have so many before and after pictures from different times. I’ll have to dig those up. For now,I will post current "before pictures." So, that’s what I’m posting…a picture of me at 235 lbs and 7 weeks postpartum. I’ll post other pics later from previous times for fun.
So, here it is. The skinny on January. You get to see me transform into a skinny chick! I’ll post what I’m eating, what I’m not, my thoughts and emotions through it all. I’ll also post about my exercising and info on health and nutrition in general.
My wonderful husband, Brandon is here to help! He’s in charge of the website and posting about things related to a lifestyle change like the one you’re about to watch. Brandon is a wealth of info when it comes to health, not to mention a damn machine. He can just eat for fuel and exercise, while always sticking to it, but that’s another post in itself!
So, sit back, watch me get skinny and join me if you dare!
