Thanks for the welcoming! I think I will "fit" right in here ( pun intended)

My starting weight is 250 fully clothed.( which is a lot for my 5ft 1 in frame)
My goal weight for this challenge is unlimited..
If I put a number down and don't reach t I get all depressed, and EAT!!! So I am taking a new approach..

By the way I just read a fantasic book titled " will I ever be good enough? " written by a dr Karyl Mcbride PhD, it's about being a daughter of a narcissistic mother..(It was very healing to me, I did grieve the mom I didn't have and grieve the mom I wish I had) To her I am a failure cause I am fat, she is a size 2 , Really!
Dr Mcbride helped me understand my mom values me for what I DO, not WHO I am.. It helped me grieve, forgive and move on now to my weight issue.
So quess who I am visiting 2 weeks in Fla?? This time I am in control...

STARTING WEIGHT 250.0

Week one (ends Feb 18): weight is....255.5 ( lost 4.5 pounds!)
Week two (ends Feb 25):
Week three (ends March 4):
Week four (ends March 11):

Congrats Palomino and chickiboom.

Palomino your doing great with the gym. Keep it up!
Chickiboom a running group sounds so cool. I hope when I get down to a good weight where I can run I can find a group. That must be some great support.

I'm happy the scale is moving more for me. I'm trying not to think about the numbers all the time, but my feelings and why I want to eat more when I shouldn't. I'm doing a weight loss challenge with my sis, mom, and niece too so that helps. Even though they live in other states we facebook and skype and talk all the time about why we do the things we do. It's awesome.
So I hope everyone has a great week!!

Everyone is doing great! off to a good start this challenge!!!

I finally upgraded to an I Phone and love the app LOSE IT! I log in my daily weight ( after setting up my current weight , what I wanna lose each week -2 lbs is the highest on this app, it gives you calories you need to take in and it automatically deducts ) I log in my food each meal and snacks, and the amounts. wow it keeps me on track!

I didn't realize all my "nibbles" added pounds to my thighs!! what an eye opener!

Have a great 2nd week everyone!
