This Is My Year!

This Is My Year!
I plan to shed 125 lbs. in the next 56 weeks. This is my journey...

End of 12th Week, Getting Over Strep Throat

So today marks the end of 12 weeks, 3 months into my journey.  It's the second week of Body For Life and I have a late start.  I am only one more day away from finishing my antibiotics from having a bad case of strep throat. I think I caught it at the gym.  I didn't clean off the equipment BEFORE using it and so.....I caught strep and have had a 10 day lay-off to get well.  I hit the gym hard tomorrow, though.

Here are my pic comparisons, the first was at 275 lbs. when I started, the next is today at 253 1/2 lbs.  Over the week, I shed 2 lbs.


My measurements for the week compared to last week:
neck:  14 1/2" (no change)
upper arm:  14 1/2" (no change)
chest:  42 1/4" (down 1/4")
waist:  34 1/2" (down 1/4")
hips:  50 3/4" (down 1/4")
thigh:  32" (down 1/4")
calf:  18 1/2" (no change)

Now, I like to do this occasionally...compare my very first measurements from Feb. 9, 2011, to now, April 17, 2011:

neck:  15"   now:  14 1/2"  (down 1/2")
upper arm:  15"  now:  14 1/2"  (down 1/2")
chest:  45 1/2"  now:  42 1/4"  (down 3 1/4")
waist:  37"  now:  34 1/2"  (down 2 1/2")
hips:  53 1/2"  now:  50 3/4"  (down 2 3/4")
thigh:  34"  now: 32"  (down 2")
calf:  19  now:  18 1/4"  (down 3/4")

So, if you add up all the inches dropped, it equals 12 1/4"...now that's what I call progress.

About Me

My photo
I have fluctuated over the years with my weight. Every time I have had a baby, I gained a lot of weight.

I have three wonderful boys to show for it!

Each time, I hit the gym and shed most of it.

This time I cannot blame pregnancy.

I am a stress and comfort eater and I admit it. Through two divorces (to and with the same man), I have finally come out on the good end of things.

I am blessed to be re-married to the first boy I ever had a crush on.

Now, we have a 1 year old baby and I have never been heavier.

I am starting this journey at 5'9" and 275 lbs. and 46.7% body fat.
