OBESE class 1

I weigh 195.5 pounds.



Yes, really. I haven't seen some of you in a while so it may come as a surprise...or not.

Here is a picture taken of me at Daphne's birthday party last Friday.




To be honest, I'm nervous and embarassed and a tiny bit humiliated about this post. I'm not much of a finisher. I have boxes of unfinished projects and I've started to lose weight more times than I care to admit.

I've decided that maybe a dose of humiliation and brutal honesty is what I need to finally be accountable for my actions. It sucks, but at the same time I'm hopeful of the outcome.

Now, the title is correct. I checked my BMI last night and I am technically obese. I gained weight when I was pregnant with Baby Boy and his delivery was much harder than Baby Girl's which translates to slower movements and at least 10 pounds that I have yet to lose 4 months later.

So back to the humiliating part. I'm going to blog my weight loss every Sunday. This scares me because I suck at posting updates, and I suck at losing weight.

I'm not saying this because I'm fishing for complements or affirmation that I'm a good person or whatever. I'm doing this because I don't want to be obese when I enter my thirties next may.

So - Here are my stats:

Height: 5'8"
Weight: 195.5
Chest: 41"
Waist: 36"
Hips: 46"

Wish me luck!!

Good Luck! You are a brave woman to post these stats. Maybe I should be do the same thing to motivate me. I guess I will think about it a little longer.

I'm pulling for you!! After a few of us mentioned that we weren't too pleased with our latest family pictures, mom reminded us that we had two years until the next set. Have I done anything about it yet? Of course not. Maybe I need to start a blog, huh? Good luck!!!

Rae we are all pulling for you and I hope the motivation works. I will be in about the same boat come october when #4 comes and I will join you in posting stats. On Steven's 29th he decided to get in shape before his 30th and he lost 30 pounds. It is hard work but we know you can do it.
