Dropping 50

Weigh In

I finally broke downa and bought a new scale. Weighing in wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be, it wasn’t as good as I was hoping for either. I am weighing in at 230 now, so I have dropped 5 pounds since I started this blog. I have heard that it is best to slowly lose the weight by changing your lifestyle. That is what I am trying to do and hopefully I will see better results in the long run. I have done the quick weight loss diets and they never seem to work. I lose a bunch of weight real quick and then once I am at my desired weight I ease up on what I was doing and before I realize what is going on, I am 50 pounds overweight again. SO it has been a slow process, but I am seeing results and I feel better. The scale we had before was so old it was probably inaccurate. All of my clothes are feeling better and I can tell I have lost weight in my face and torso, so I think I was heavier than I originally thought I was.

I will be able to keep you updated better on my weight loss now that I have a scale, it is even a fancy scale that will give me my body fat %. That was a shocker, I couldn’t believe how high my body fat % was! When I was in high school, albeit with a better metabolism, I had a body fat percentage of 8%. My body fat right now is at 30%, which is really unhealthy and makes me determined to lose the weight!
