First weigh-in for the new year...

Start weight: 117kg (April 2006)
Last week: 94.9kg
This week: 93.6kg
Loss to date: 23.4kg
First goal: 80kg
New year, new program, it would seem.
WW are now doing "Super Start". Not exactly sure what it entails, as I couldn't stay for the meeting, but have a book to read up on.
This is also my first crack into the 93's. Hopefully not getting too comfy, and heading into the 92's next week. Planning to be an 80's chick by Mia's first birthday!

New year, new me...

"Failure is success if we learn from it"



Yeah yeah, you know the old saying, "new year, new you"...

This year, it's my turn.


Last year I managed to shed 24kg. This year I plan to shed another 25kg+.

I wish I could just pop a pill and get the same success others seem to have, but what would I learn doing it that way? What I have learnt along the way I don't think I would've if I was to rely on something other than myself and my willpower. Hopefully I will have more success because I've done it the hard way, the "real" way, not the easy way.

Well, I guess I should put up a before picture. I have one in mind. It's when Darcy was 12 weeks old, so September 2003. All I have to do is find it. It truely is hideous, but oh well, you get that ROFL! It was me at my heaviest, 128kg!!

It's funny though, when I weighed that much, I never saw myself as being that big, that is until now, being 93kg, and looking back. I was one HUGE mofo haha!!

I know I'm still overweight, but geez, it feels SOOOO good to weigh 93kg!! I don't remember the last time I weighed under 100kg. I can go into Target, grab a size 18 off the shelf, and it will fit! Sometimes the 18 is too big!I know I was 116kg when I got pregnant with Cooper, and 106kg when I got pregnant with Mia. My absolute highest was when I went into labour with Darcy - 138kg! Mia's labour was 126kg - not cool.

Guess I better go dig out that picture ...

*exhales deeply*
