Saturday, Mar 20 2010 - Weigh in #12
View PRNCSSGRL's food & exercise for this day
It's been a great week. Not just physically but emotionally. I signed up for my first 5k, I'm coming to an end in c25k (2 weeks left), I had a eye opening therapy session, I found some new muscles, two of my friends are moving more, my husband is losing weight. I've been conscious about the food going into my mouth and the exercise coming off of my body...
12 weeks ago I started posting my weigh ins. It was a hard decision to make them public but I just can't hide this weight and what it's doing to me physically and mentally any longer. I make these numbers public here, on my 263andcounting webpage and on Facebook. So far it's done exactly what I hoped it would do...
Create a loss.
-3.2 this week.
Here are the numbers:
Week 0 = 263.5 (-0.0)
Week 1 = 257.4 (-6.1)
Week 2 = 255.0 (-2.4)
Week 3 = 254.6 (-.4)
Week 4 = 253.8 (-.8) *I started c25k
Week 5 = 248.2 (-5.6)
Week 6 = 247.2 (-1.0)
Week 7 = 246.2 (-1.0)
Week 8 = 244.4 (-1.8)
Week 9 = 241.0 (-3.4)
Week 10 = 240.6 (-.4)
Week 11 = 238.0 (-2.6)
Week 12 = 234.8 (-3.2)
With the exception of week 10 (-.4 and making the realization of exactly what sodium retention looks like) I'm seeing some great numbers this month. If I had to pin point the reasons I would say the c25k program is probably the biggest factor. I'm in the part of the program where it's just about running and pushing your body past that limit of "I just can't possibly do this". I'm no longer thinking about the minutes but rather what can I do to improve on those minutes.
I'm still obese (my bmi is 36 and I still have 75 pounds to lose) but what I do know is that I don't weigh 263 today. With hard work, determination, eating less and moving more I won't weigh 234 next week either!

For the longest time I never would tell anyone what my weight was. If someone guessed what it was I would simply agree with them because their guess was always lower, and some times I would just flat out lie about it to people. Very embarrassed by that number.
Everyone could see I was fat, but yet in my mind if I didn't reveal the number, then that some how made it seem less. In January when I finally decided I was going to lose this weight I came to terms with that fear and faced it head on. I confessed in my facebook that I was going to lose weight and chronicle my success by what the scale reported. That meant making my weight PUBLIC!!!!
I was scared as he|| to do that, but I did it. I made my post telling all of my friends that at my highest weight I was 455 lbs last year, and outlined how I was 425 when I started all of this in January. Now that everyone in my friends list, and pretty much all of my co-workers know what my weight is, I don't have any apprehension telling them.
Most of the time people will come up to me and ask how I'm doing and I use that number as a badge of honor. I can now tell them that I'm 394 Lbs! And you might think that's crazy, but now to me that number isn't EVIL or DIRTY. It's awesome because everyone knows I "was" 455 lbs! So saying 394 is awesome, and I'm getting positive feedback from it.
Same thing happened when I came here, I was real nervous about making my weight public, but I decided that if I was going to succeed at this, I needed to be OPEN and HONEST. And that's what I've done, and found that everyone here is very understanding and it sure makes it easier to talk about issues when you aren't trying to be deceptive about that stupid number on the scale.
With all of that being said, GREAT JOB you're doing Tara! I wish I only had 75 lbs to go. You keep up the good work because you're doing it!

Wholly crap mama. You be disappearing before our eyes.
I like it when you call me big poppa. I've always wanted to meet someone who lived up to the name.
So glad you're week is ending on a high note. Just don't roll those notes to get high.
