Alright...*deep breath*...my starting out weight is:
264.8 lbs.
I knew it was going to be around that, I half expected it to be 270 because that's what the scale said last time I got on it in my bathroom a week ago. My first mini goal is to lose 5% which works out to be 13 lbs.
According to the book they gave us, for my height (5'9") my healthy weight ranges are:
Minimum joining weight is 140 lbs (this is saying that in order to qualify to join WW you have to need to lose at least 5 lbs so if I weighed 135lbs then I couldn't join)
Minimum weight: 135
Maximum weight: 169
When I was in high school I fluctuated from 170-175 and still felt fat so I'm hoping to be somewhere around 160 but Josh (my hubby) thinks I'll look gross that small. BUT, that's coming from the guy that likes some meat on a girls bones! :O) I honestly could care less what the scale said (except I want desperately to be under 200 lbs) , as long as I like what I see and I feel good.
So there we have it...my starting out point!!! I'm armed with the tools & support I need and I'm ready to get going!
My daily POINTS target is 34 (whoa, that seems like a lot) and I get 35 allowance points a week. I'll update this weekly (at least) to show my progress (or lack of...hope not) and pass on what I'm learning about the program and myself! Thanks for riding along with me! :)
Now I need to go take a "before" picture and someday I'll post it on here....maybe once I've reached my 10% goal so we can do a picture to compare!

ReplyDeleteGreat goal! Off you go, yay!
ReplyDeleteChristina,
ReplyDeleteI want to encourage you soooo much on your goal of losing weight, so proud of you!!
I am also a Chrsitian, we have that in common. I also attended WW and to my knowledge I am the youngest person to go through WW, I was only seven years old. That was many years ago and now I think you must be ten years old. I struggled with my weight as a child and I still have to watch my weight. I no longer have a weight problem and I give most of the credit to WW, they are wonderful. They taught me many, many years ago how to watch portions, it is all about protion control and I hate to admit it but they must be small portions. I will be following your blog and I cannot wait to see the picture of you when you have reached your goals....your are a beautiful girl from the photo and you should be healthy....so go, go, go! You can do it. I will be praying too. Big hugs to you:):):):)
enjoy *~*
