9 Week Challenge

Blah blah holidays blah gained blah blah. You didn't want to hear about any of that anyway did you? No. You want to hear about how I am going to move forward and lose more weight.

My maintenance class is hosting a nine week challenge. Today, we were all weighed and our measurements were taken. There is a competition over the next nine weeks to lose the most weight or inches. The classes are competing as a group against each other. Individuals are also competing. Everything is counted as percentage lost. Just like the Biggest Loser competition.

So today:

Weight: 225.5
Arm: 16.5 inches
Thigh: 27.25 inches
Waist: 45 inches
Hips: 49.5 inches

These measurements were all taken by a nurse (and I was fully clothed). The same nurse will come back in nine weeks and measure us again.

The challenge for this week is to journal everything I eat. I'm also supposed to wear a pedometer and journal how many steps I take each day. They are easing us into the weekly challenges with an easy one.

Wish me luck. Better yet, wish me determination!
