virtual weight loss

My weight might come as a shock to some of you, but I am not ashamed of myself or what I have become. I do, however, want to be healthier and lose my baby weight. My goal weight is 170 lbs. I know to some of you that is still huge, but that is less than what I weighted when I got married (I weighted 172 lbs). I have always had a hard time loosing weight, even though I know how to do it and have done it many times before. So, this time I have decided to do a virtual weight loss and the family can be my personal weight watchers, literally. I am going to be posting my weight every Monday (I know today is Tuesday, but I want to get started today) and letting everyone know my nutrition and exercise goals for the week. If you would like to join me, great! If not, that's fine too. What I don't want is anyone to judge me or comment on how fat I am. If I gain a little weight too, keep your comments to yourself. I need to be accoutable to someone and there is no better person than everyone (because the world can view this blog and it's somewhat embarrasing).
So, my starting weight is 217.0 (I just want to point out that when I got home from my mission and started weight watchers I weighted 231, I was chubby).
My nutrition goal this week: drink 8 glasses of water a day.
My exercise goal this week: 3 times a week for 30 minutes each time
I will be letting you know how my goals go and posting my weight again next Monday............

I'm in Renee, I gained 10 lbs. while in Guam and need to loose it. I will join you in all your goals--so I will also drink 8 glasses of water and exercise. The hardest part for me is not to eat cheese--I love cheese. Thanks for the inspiration!! MOM

Well I for one am super proud of you! I think it is a worthy effort. Also I think it is funny that you asked none of us to tell you that you are fat...like any of us would do that; how rude. I would like to say that I will join you in putting my weight online, but I'm not; I am just not that humble. Good luck and know that we are ALL routing for your success!!!! I think you can do it and you will do GREAT!!!!!

Yes, nice pedicure! And, okay, I am in...Emily's way...without posting weight. I hate those numbers. They are so inaccurate - changing if I inhale, or potty, or wear socks. How about if I just tell you when my skinniest dress fits like it should and my favorite jeans don't create major muffin-top?? So, I will drink 8 glasses of liquid and exercise the 30 minutes 3x/week (does hours of keeping this house clean work?). Nicely done Nee! Thanks for the motivation! See you in a couple of weeks...
