So I have come to the point in my life where I can’t put this off any longer, I need to lose this weight…
Ohhhh nooooo….
On June 3rd my husband and I joined the YMCA when we weighed in the first day I was shocked!! I had let myself get up to 253 lbs and my husband weighed in at 298lbs… We got off to a good start for a few weeks but then went on vacation and our weight loss plan went bye bye. So we are starting again on Monday July 27th, it would be today but I need a few days to prepare mentally and restock my fridge and pantry.
Yo mama’s fat…
I hate being a fat mom!! I have 3 kids who look up to me and I know I am not setting a good example for them. My daughter who is 9 is overweight. Man, I HATE saying that and to tell you the truth it physically hurts to say that out loud. We went school shopping last weekend and like always she has such a hard time finding clothes, boy do I know that feeling! I don’t want that for my daughter! I know she feels different from all the other girls at school and that makes me so sad.
Baby blues…
I want to have another baby so bad. Earlier this year we lost a baby due to miscarriage and I am still dealing with the grief. Aug. 21st will have been my due date, I am not looking forward to that day… But after the loss I made a promise to myself I would not get pregnant again until I lost the weight and I wanted to give myself till the end of the year lose as much as possible.
Our 06/09 starting stats/Never Again : )
My husband is 34, 6’1” and 298lbs. (Took before pics but no measurements yet)
I am 30, 5’9” and 253lbs.
Chest: 50”
Waist: 44”
Hips: 47”
Thighs: 27”
Biceps: 15”
The Action Plan…
Low carbs, low cal., no eating after 7pm and 128oz of water a day.
We have a treadmill at home so at least 2 mile of fast walking a day to start off with.
55 min. step cardio class 2 days a week till school starts and I have more time at the gym.
Questions…
I have no idea how many calories we should eat???? Is 1000 to 1500 to much or to little? Also do we do weights in combination to cardio or stick to cardio?
I am looking forward to this sharing this journey with all of you!

I think she picked up on that and took it down a level for me. We did 30 munities today and I see her again on Friday. Right now my body hurt so badly! It hurts to sit, to get up, my legs, my arms it all just hurts! I know it’s just because it was my first time out doing this kind of work out so I just hope it gets better from here.
