First Week Weigh-In

Today was my first week to weigh-in. Well, we weighed-in last week, but that was our initial weight. This is our first week to see if we lost any weight. The results are in...
-------------------------------------
Starting Weight: 165.5

Week 1 Weigh In: 158

Pounds lost: 7.5

Pounds left to go til goal weight: 28
-------------------------------------

AHH 7.5 lbs lost!?!?! I am so excited!! I didnt even exercise this week either. I just ate healthier and cut portion sizes down. I guess it worked. Im relieved...I was really worried I wouldn't do well. I dont feel any different. I cant wait to start exercising again. I used to all the time but now with 2 jobs I dont have the time. Now Im going to try and fit it in somewhere. I NEED to in order to become healthier. Ok, on to Week 2. Wish me luck!!

Ok, NOW I started

So I was originally suppose to weigh in last Monday, but no one remembered to bring a scale. So we pushed it back to Friday, November 30th. As of right now, we have 8 or 9 people participating in this "Biggest Loser" competition. We need to get it together a little more, we are kind of slacking. Stacey is taking charge and keeping track of everything. This weekend she is printing up a contract and trying to work things out. We decided we needed a contract in case people dont stick with it, because it wont be fair to the others who do stick with it. So friday we all put $10 in to begin. We will weigh in every Friday for 6 months. For every pound we gain, we have to add another $1 to the pot. If we maintain or lose weight, we are safe. If someone decides they arent going to stick through it the whole 6 months, they are to pay $5 per month for the remainder of the time. Should be interesting.

I still need to take my measurements but here are my stats so far as of Friday, November 30th:

Height: 5'3
Weight: 165.5

Soon we will figure out our measurements and percentage of body fat.

I'm going to periodically post pictures of my progress. This is a big step for me....as I would NEVER let anyone see these pictures. Im hoping it will give me motivation though so I wont look like this anymore. Here it goes....










So there are my awful pictures. That's ok though....I just keep telling myself that I wont look like that in 6 months. I'm on the road to a healthier me!! :-)
