Weigh in #1.........???
Well, today was supposed to be my first weigh in. My original goal was 149 (because I didn't have any idea how much I actually weighed). Turns out, I was only 145 11 days ago. So how did I do? Well, I weighed in at 139 today. Only...it doesn't really count. We've had the dang stomach flu at our house today! BLAH!!! So, I'll just keep at it and give an actual and official weight next time! :)

Moment of truth...
So I finally stepped on the scale this morning. It wasn't good but it wasn't as bad as I thought it was. I officially weighed in at 145. I'm still going to keep my timeline and goals the same though because I don't typically lose 2 pounds per week and that gives me a little flexibility. I should still be able to reach 134 by March 15. That is one pound less than my weight I was able to maintain for about a year and a half so this is totally doable for me.
I was thinking the other day about how funny it is that I am panicking at weighing 145. Three years ago, I wouldn't have ever thought I would get THAT low. I don't think that it is so much hitting 145 that worries me though. It is going up and up and up that is freaking me out! I didn't spend a year taking the weight off (and a year and a half keeping it off for that matter) just to put it all back on!

Something's gotta give....
...and I would prefer it not be my pants!
Yeah...things haven't been going so well...AT ALL! I have gained....a LOT. I actually don't even know how much because I don't want to get on the scale. Last time I checked, it was 10 pounds and I'm sure it is more now (that was about a month ago). My clothes are getting awfully snug. I've been avoiding pretty much everything...MFP, this blog...because you know, it you ignore a problem long enough, it will just go away, right?
Well, time to shake myself into reality! I'm always up for a challenge so I am going to challenge myself to match a fellow bloggers weight loss. I need the accountability right now because doing it just to do it isn't working for me at the moment! So Tiffany (yup, I think you're pretty much the only person still reading this blog), I'm going to match you, pound for pound, in your weight loss goals:
Mini Goal Weights:
Jan 15th- 149 lbs
Feb 1st- 145 lbs
Feb 15th- 141 lbs
Mar 1st- 137 lbs
Mar 15th- 134 lbs Final goal
Hope you're okay with that! This is in no way a challenge to you. I just need something to keep ME on track! :)
In reality, I think it will be difficult. I don't typically lose 2 pounds a week. But I'm going to give it a whirl, eat right, and exercise and see what happens! Even if I don't hit goal, down is definitely better than up!
Here's to a healthier 2012!!
