Yup, I've let myself become a statistic, lose weight to gain it all back.
Well, I haven't gained it all back, that's a small consolation. I'd be horrified if I had hit 300 pounds again. That being said, I'm upset that I've let myself t back to 262 pounds. That's the heaviest I've been in a long time.
A group of us have decided for Lent to do a "Biggest Loser" challenge, and put in $10.00 a piece. On the Monday after Easter, we'll weigh in and see who has lost the biggest percentage of their body weight. First weigh in was yesterday morning. I have an extra incentive, as one of the people I work for has offered to pay me $1.00 for each pound I lose during Lent.
Everyone is doing their own diet/exercise routine, we're not reporting in for that, just the first and last weigh in. I've opted to do the "SlimFast" diet.....a shake for breakfast, a shake for lunch, and then a sensible dinner, light snacks in between. Of course, if I knew what was sensible I wouldn't be back up to 262.
Yesterday was the first day on the diet, and I was pretty surprised that I wasn't hungry all day long. I also exercised twice yesterday, and today will be between 3 - 4 times.
According to my scale at home, as well as the one here on the job we all weighed in on, I've lost 5 pounds.
