Weekly Weigh In

I mentioned a few days ago that the husband and I are losing weight this year. We are watching our calories and focusing on healthy food choices and plan to exercise together. Each Saturday I will update this ticker to display my weight loss to date. I will also post my husband's weight loss information, we are calling it "project husband." Next week I hope to post pictures of both of us as a visual reminder of our weight loss journey.

For the sake of my not being mortified, I will not be displaying my weight but rather my goal weight loss. So as of right now (my starting point), I am setting the goal at 70 pounds. It is quite daunting to see that number and know that I have to lose that much to put my BMI into the healthy range. It took me 7 years to put on the weight, so I will just have to be patient as I lose it. I hope to lose 1 to 2 pounds per week, so hopefully by next year I will be at my goal or darn close!
