This is a blog to start my weight loss challenge.
I am currently 163lbs. I know that doesn't sound like a lot, but from the time that I started college I have gained 40lbs. I do not want to be 123lbs again, but I would like to eventually be 130-135lbs again. This is not going to be without its challenges. I live in a house with several people who can eat whatever they want without gaining a pound. Also, one of them happens to be a pastry chef who makes all sorts of yummy desserts you almost can't get away from. There is always junk food in the house, and with the holidays coming up this is going to be much harder than any other time of the year.
Right now my obtainable goal has been set by the gym I have started to attend. A healthy weight right now for me would be 147lbs. My goal is to get there by January first, and this is what I have planned out for myself. I have come up with reasonable goals for myself over the next two months.
November 1-6: lose 2lbs
November 7-13: lose 2lbs
November 14-20: lose 3 lbs
November 21-27: lose 1lb (This is due to Thanksgiving being this week)
Total Weight loss For November: 8lbs. This would bring me down to 155lbs.
November 28-December 4: lose 2lbs
December 5-11: Lose 2lbs
December 12-18: Lose 3lbs
December 19-25: Lose 1lb (This is due to Christmas being this week)
December 26- January 1: Lose 1-3lbs (Optional/catch-up week)
Total Weight loss For December: 8-11lbs. This would bring me down to between 147-144lbs.
I go to the gym and soon I will get my mother-in-law to come with me :-) That will help!! Now my plan is to keep you updated on what I do to get to my goal. I am going to try not to weigh myself until the end of the week. We'll see how that goes :-P
