85 to go. Sheesh, that really seems like a lot. I weighed myself on Christmas while at my Grandma's house because she just so happened to have a scale. The last time I weighed myself was a few months after I had Logan, so it had been awhile. At that time I weighed 223, which was somewhat good as that is what I weighed before I had Logan, so at least the baby weight was gone. I have been battling my weight ever since I packed on the pounds in my early 20's. The past year and a half have been the worst though. I am extremely self conscious, always look down when I am in public and never socialize with people other than my friends. Not the best way to meet new people. I even tend to stay at home because I don't feel comfortable going out. As you can understand, this does not help my weight or how I feel about myself. So, going back to Christmas, I step on the scale and....I weigh 260! I seriously felt like Crying. The week I had Logan I weighed 270. How in the world did I let myself gain that much weight, and what the hell was I eating?
Time for a change....
I started counting my calories and eating healthier. If you are looking for an awesome fitness tool check out Myfitnesspal.com. They gave me a goal calorie count and I entered in my weight and how much I want to lose and all that. I have been tracking since Christmas and have lost 15 pounds thus far. It sucks to lose weight and not be able to tell, but as of last night I weighed 244.6. It is an improvement for sure. I feel better just knowing that I have finally made a change. I haven't told to many people about it as I figure it will be more fun for them to witness it themselves, or see pictures of the final result if they don't live nearby.
