Ok to start this post off I have to vent (which I think I'm good at not doing). So I have been wanting to lose weight for the longest time, starting back when it was only like 5lbs needing to go, but it hasn't happened. I have actually gained and way to much!! But I hate that when I mention it I get shot down by those saying no you don't I'm the one needing to lose weight... Or where would you lose it from. Well let me tell you I know what my scale read two years ago and I know what it read this morning. I know that my pants size has gone up and my muscle definition gone down. I also know what I look like in the mirror...so trust me I know I need to lose weight. (if you don't believe me keep reading)
Any how back to venting. I have always supported you in your weight loss efforts so please support me in mine. I have never doubted you and only encouraged you so please do the same for me. Don't question me cause I know I need to lose weight.
My goal to lose weight is not just a vanity thing, though I'll admit that is part of it. I have a family history of diabetes and colon cancer. So those are a big part of my driving forces to maintaining a healthy weight for me and my body.
That's right a healthy weight for my body. Things I have noticed health wise that are spurring this vent and real need to lose weight.
1) I have IBS and it is way out of control right now. I have noticed I have been way sick and it gets worse as I put on more and more weight. Wether that's the weight gain or diet or both it's a reality. I'm sick of being sick to my stomach. And I'm worried about what damage I might be causing long term.
2) My hernia sight has been so irritating me and this past week has reached the level of needing pain drugs. Everything I have read is weight gain can lead to re-herniating. And no way am I going through that surgery again over something I could have prevented.
3) I'm sick of the way getting out of top shape and weight gain has made me feel!
But enough with my whining the real point is to say I know how I gained weight now it's time for s change. So I'm going public with this goal. Once a week I plan to post my progress, exercise and food log. So you can all hold me accountable!
Starting weight: 137 :(
Goal weight 125 (I weighed 122 2 years ago so it's doable)
This weeks exercise goal: 5 days of 30 min exercise
This week diet goal: no sugary treats :(
(this means waking up at 430 again...that's right friends when i was way in shape I worked out before work...it was a sacrifice)

I know what you mean about no one understanding! I'm not overweight, but I have ZERO muscles (aside from my baby-lifting arms :)) SO, we will motivate eachother! I feel like I need to get muscles and feel like you need to lose weight :) GOOD LUCK TO BOTH OF US!!!
Ha ha ! i just re-read what i said and i'm glad i did! it was supposed to say "and YOU feel like you need to lose weight" ...the way i wrote it made it sound like i think you need to lose weight, sorry!
Melissa you make me laugh...I never thought you were trying to tell me to lose weight!!! But I do appreciate the support.
Good for you!!! If anyone can reach a goal, it's you!
