Wednesday Weigh In

First I want to thank Erin for helping me with my banner. I was missing the "upload it to something like photobucket" part. Thanks so much, friend, for helping me have a full sized banner, finally! You rock, Erin!

Second, this Wednesday Weigh In will be a (hopefully) weekly thing. I started with LA Weight Loss last week and I need support from my family and friends to not fall off the wagon while I am losing my weight. So with your support, LA, and the gym, I am hoping to lose quite a bit of weight and keep it off this time. We won't be having anymore babies so there won't be that for an excuse anymore. I think it's just time.

So I went to the local LA center and signed up for help with eating the right foods. I love the program because you eat your own food. They teach you how to use your food to help you lose weight. I also started going to the gym regularly this week. It is becoming a routine that we (me and the kiddos) all enjoy.

My goal is to lose between 50 and 60 lbs. My goal date is the beginning of September (according to LA). My goal is the beginning of August. At half way, I will include a before and after picture. I also will let you know how many inches are coming off when they measure me (I think that is on a monthly basis).

My total weight lost for this week is 4.6 lbs. Not bad for my first week! So there is my weigh in for this week. Check in next week to see how much more I've lost! Thanks for your support.

Way to go, Megan. I'm so proud of you for taking care of your health, and also for having the courage to put it out there publicly. I know you can do it!

The banner looks great...I'm glad I could help!

Also, I'm excited for your new weight loss journey. I remember how dedicated you were to it in Ohio and I always admired you for that. It was amazing to see those pounds melt away with all your hard work. I can't wait to see that happen again for you! We're cheering you on here in Alabama!

Megan... I'll jump on the bandwagon to keep you accountable. I began last week at Weight Watchers. I, too, weight in every Wednesday! That third kid is a kicker, isn't it? You can do it!!!
