This is my FIRST weigh in since getting back on track after being off track for about a year! I was supposed to weigh in at the 2 week mark, which would have been 2.9.16... but my scale went wonky on me and I had to purchase a new one. It arrived on 2.11.16 and I weighed in the morning of 2.12.16. I weight 326.1 on 1.26.`16 and I've lost 5.4 lbs. in 17 days. I'm pretty happy with that... but I know I could have done better... I didn't strictly adhere to my 40g per meal, 20g per snack lowered carb. diet. I'll see you again in 2 weeks (2.26.16) for my next weigh in! Thanks for checking in and your support! :) 


HISTORY: 
I've fallen off course for quite some time now... in the past year, I've gained 31.7 lbs... that's 42.1 lbs up from my lowest weight which was on 8/22/14. My last weigh in on 12/26/14 was 302.4. A year ago, on 1/13/15, on my last recorded weigh in I weighed 294.4 lbs. I weighed in today and I weigh in at 326.1 lbs. I have a lot of work to do and feel that sharing my ups and downs with you will give me accountability and help me stay on track and maybe help others out there too. 

I initially lost 75 lbs.! 86 lbs if you base it on the highest weight of 370 lbs. I'm currently wearing a size 24 jean and 3x top. I can wear a 2x, but prefer the loose comfort of a size 3x. I was wearing a size 30/32 jean and 4x top. 


Here were my initial goals, written on 12/24/13:

By the end of 2014, I want to reach the following goals:
1. Bike ride frequently with my 7 y/o son Jayden. (He's 8 now)
2. Have a BMI of less than 30%. (currently 46.7%) (today: 43.2%)
3. Be able to walk up and down stairs, foot over foot, again.
4. Continue my weight loss and hopefully rid myself of Diabetes.
5. Strengthen my legs and body so the fear of falling when walking is reduced/gone.

My NEW Weight Loss Goals written today: 1/26/16:
By the end of summer of 2016, I want to reach these goals:
1. Fit back in normal stadium seats. (It was amazing when I reached that goal the first time and now, I don't fit.) 
2. Be able to walk up and down stairs, foot over foot, again. (I was able to do that, but have lost that ability with the weight gain.)
3. Continue my weight loss and hopefully rid myself of Diabetes.
4. Be able to be more active with my son Jayden, who is now 9.5 years old. (I want to play basketball with him and I'd love to ice skate with him next winter.)
5. Strengthen my legs and body so the fear of falling when walking is reduced/gone. (The gain has me unsteady again and suffering from a lot of pain in my feet, knees and back when I stand or walk for more than 30 minutes to an hour.)

Back Story: My weight loss journey started with my Type 2 Diabetes diagnosis on Aug. 22, 2013. I weighed in at 350 lbs. on that day. When I started noticing symptoms a week before the appt., I was weighing 359 lbs. I lost the first 9 lbs. because I was afraid to eat. When my BS was around 180, I would get really bad headaches... along with the other symptoms. My highest weight was 370 lbs., but that was back in 2005 and a bit beyond that date. I set my first goal for 220 lbs. as I felt that was the 20 lbs lighter than the last time I remember being really active... like running and playing full court basketball with my husband... so that is my goal. Once I hit 220, and I will hit it, I will evaluate myself, my health and set my new goals!
