Weight Loss Wednesday


This is my sister, Sara, and her new fiance, John. Why do I start this post with their picture? Look how skinny they are...they don't need "Weight Loss Wednesday"... Well, they just got engaged (a huge CONGRATULATIONS to them!) and will be getting married on New Year's Eve. Yep, in about 3 and a half months, I will have to squeeze into a bridesmaid's dress. So, my kinda-trying-to-lose-weight-but-still-eating-oreos diet plan has got to shift into hyper-drive.

Last week I posted about the Couch to 5K beginning running program (see it here). A big part of why I have stuck with it is the Facebook group I created and posting my runs on Facebook so that my friends can keep me accountable and encourage me.

With that thought in mind, Robbie and I will be creating and participating in a Weight Loss Wednesday check in here on the Compton Corner. Each week we will post weight loss updates, our struggles and successes, and any tips we've learned during the week (I reserve the right to change this check in as needed).

If you are trying to lose weight, I'd love to include you in our check ins! Just weigh today (or tomorrow morning) and starting next week, let me know your goal, how much you lost and your struggles and successes, etc. If you have any ideas on how we can make this check in better, please let me know! I'm open to suggestions.

By the way, I weighed myself this morning for the first time in over 2 years...probably closer to 3 years. Yikes. (Nun'ya bizness) I'll post how much I lose but I hope no one ever finds out where I started.

Check In
Martha:
