week one of the weight loss challenge

I lost 5.7 lbs in the last week. I was shocked. I am unsure of whether or not its just Im not eating my exercise points, maybe once or twice a week ill go over my allocated 1900 calories, but I havent been in the red since the first week I joined here. but Im not hungry at all during the day, sometimes at night my tummy grumbles, but Ive never been one for eating at night.

So I doubt I will loose that much each week, would be nice, theres money up for grabs in one of the weight loss challenges Im doing, the other one has a life time memebership to a gym. 

on the same note, I know I wont be losing that much weight each week. but I think I'll continue on as I have been, eating when I'm hungry and watching my portion sizes. the last 5 days has been gorgous weather. so that has helped.

The challenge is on

this is me 110.5 kgs (243 lbs)



I was weighed on friday for the weight loss challenge through creche. their scales made me 8 lbs heavier than my own at home (tho in retrospect I was wearing clothing) so I probably am about this weight fully dressed. either way this comp is running until just before christmas.  lets hope we see those numbers drop and the pictures improve!

biggest loser creche style

I've just joined the biggest loser though my son's creche. I think it goes for 12 weeks. and I get weighed every Thursday (well first weigh in tomorrow then thursdays)  the deal is, if you gain, you pay $1 per 100 lbs. so if I gain 1 kg, theres $20. if you lose you dont pay anything. the person who loses the most at the end of the 12 weeks wins most of the money from the kitty, and the 2nd and 3rd get a cut. sounds jpretty straighforward. hmm... and could be the kick in the butt I need

Where to start?

Starting here. in the middle. This is my weightloss journey.   I started to lose weight about a year ago. I had maintained a weight of 260 for about 5 years after the birth of my 5th child. He turns five in Decemeber and over the past year I have managed with help from lose it (which I joined a month ago) to shed about 35 lbs. So I'm on my way, from misery to happiness... ok.. I can't say I was miserable. life is actually pretty good. just have a few (a.k.a. 50) pounds that is nudging me in the side.

So you ask? where's the witty lines, the whimsicle words that will bring others back to read my woes of weight loss?

I dunno... but I hope update on my journey
