The Brooding Woman: Wednesday Weekly Weigh-In (on a Thursday)

Well really this is Week #4, even though it is my second weigh-in - so hopefully I can continue from here with actually weekly updates.

1. Reiterate my goal and where I stand in reference to this goal.

Starting weight: 303.0
Last Week's Weight: over the past few weeks I saw 301 and 302 on the scale

Current Weight: 304.2
Goal Weight : 288

My first goal is 5% of my starting weight. I like breaking down a large goal into smaller, manageable pieces.

Starting BMI: 44.74
Last Week's BMI: 44.74

Current BMI: 44.92 (morbidly obese)
Goal BMI: 35 to 39.99 Obesity (Class 2)

(from this website http://www.bmi-calculator.net)

Again, one step at a time. My first BMI goal will be to get down to the next level. This will happen at around 270 pounds. So I will focus on my weight goals first.

2. Discuss what I am going to do to achieve my goals.

A. 30 min of activity everyday
- go to the gym after work on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday
- walk at lunch on Tuesday and Thursday
- play Wii exercise games on Saturday and Sunday

My ankle is finally completely healed - well the bone - but the muscles/tendons are weak and sore. So I think I am going to adjust my goals to go for a walk everyday and build up the strength. I am also starting physio.

B. Eat less/better
- count Weight Watchers points, right now I get 50 per day
- drink 1L of water and 2 glasses of milk a day
- 3 servings of milk products (see above plus yogurt) everyday
- 5 servings of fruit and vegetables

3. Post a (reasonably healthy) recipe that I've tried, a cooking tip, a new idea for working out for people to try, a photo update of my weight loss, or anything else I feel like sharing.

I am going to focus on my Eat less/better goals this week. Especially keeping a food diary and counting WW points. As well as drinking lots of water.

I also want to take some before pictures and monthly measurements.
