Staying accountable

Posted on March 30, 2018

OK so I am seriously not a blogger, but here it goes. So far all my life I have gone up and down in weight.

My heighest weight was Dec 1st 2016 at 235lbs and I had to do something. I hired a personal trainer for 3 months and everything worked until he quit for good reasons mind you. Then I was on my own and I had gotten myself down to around 210lbs. Then I fell off the gym and food logging wagon until recently. My current weight is 217.1 and my goal weight is ultimately 170lbs. I have not weighed 170 since I was a teen.

Joining these challenges is going to keep me accountable. I will be going to Bonaire for the 5th time for a 2 week scuba diving vacation on May 7th and i would love to be down to 200lbs by then, but I know that is pushing it.

I wish you the best in reaching your goals. Bonaire sounds amazing. Below 200’s is where I want to be and stay... I refer to it as “one”- der land (wonderland)!

Bonaire! How exciting! If you work really consistently I bet you can do it. You'll feel so much better having just a few pounds off. I hear ya on the up and down with weight. I've lost 60-90 pounds THREE times. It's so embarrassing to gain it back. But I decided this time that I wasn't going to be a quitter when I had a bad day or week or even month. I have to always keep going with my good habits even if it gets really tough. The alternative is staying where I am, and I'm miserable right now. You can do it!! I'd love to see 170 with ya! (I'm at 230 right now...)

So true. I know all about the yo-yo effect. I’ve been caught in that trap too. Consistency and commitment with our goals planned out ahead. We will make our goals and help each other along the way.

Your vacation sounds amazing!! I hope your games provide some of the extra motivation you have been seeking to crush those goals!
