Second Weigh In

Our week one weigh-ins:

Chris: 254.4

Jack: 234.4

My Weight Goals

So, obviously, whenever someone wants to lose weight, they have goals. I have a lot of smaller goals:

1: I want to get to the weight I was when I got pregnant. (230)

2: I want to get to the weight I was when I met Chris. (215)

3. I want to hit 200 lbs.

At this point, I will be really excited about hitting goal number 3. I do have some long term goals though. In the end, I would like to be at 170. I know that might still be considered slightly overweight, but that will be such a huge step forward from where I have been in my life.

First Weigh-in

We are moved in, and that means we are moving on to a new lifestyle! I have to say that today has been filled with cravings. I haven't eaten the healthiest, but I have cut down how much I have eaten. Once we fill our fridge, I will be eating a lot healthier.

This week, we are focusing on cutting down our portion sizes and limiting our salt and sugar intake. We are also focusing on taking our daily vitamins and herbs.

We will have to add pictures because we haven't gotten to that point yet, but here are our starting weights:

Chris: 255.8

Jack: 242.8

Publishing these numbers are really difficult for us. We are overweight, and we know that. That is why we are working towards fixing it. We are completely in love, and we want to spend as much time with each other, and our son, as possible! I love my husband more than the best chocolate around, so I will be trying very hard for this to work!

I will post our goals a little later! Here's to a good week!

Something to keep in mind

I really think this picture/quote is quite inspirational. I have tabbed this on my computer and will also probably print it out for us. 12 weeks seems like a long time....but 12 weeks from now, if we continue to live the way we currently live, I would be wishing I started now. So, now it is! Let's see how far we can get in 12 weeks.

Who are we?

My name is Jackquelyn and I am married to Chris. We have let ourselves go and are tired of it. So, starting when we move into our new apartment (Jan. 4th) we are changing our lifestyle. We want to drop the weight and get healthy.

We LOVE food and it HATES us :) We want to change that. We are going to be changing what we eat and incorporating exercise into our daily lives. Each week, we will take pictures of where we are at, and post our weight (ugh...). I am not happy about that, weight is never something I want anyone to know about me. I know that the more I put out there though, the more motivated I will be for that number to go down. I mean, it is one thing for you to be able to say, "Yes, I did weigh that!" instead of "Yes, I do weigh that." So, we are going to change!

So, we move in the 4th, and we will be taking pictures of us with starting stats on Sunday. I hope that we can provide some inspiration to others through our journey.
