just one in twentytwelve.

i'm back here again ... about to sound like a broken record.  why?  well, do you remember this post from last year?  yep.  i've got the same resolution as i did last year.

i want to lose weight.  no joke.

i need to pick up from where i lost my way.  in june of last year, i celebrated turning 30 and also losing 30 pounds in six months.  i don't know if that seems like a lot or not, but when you have been struggling with the scale basically going up for years, it is like a freaking miracle.  so, i celebrated my birthday and gave myself a cheat weekend with food and booze.  that cheat weekend turned into a cheat week, month, and eventually six months later, i'm still at the same weight i was when i turned 30.  damn. 

i mean, holy frick.  i shared THIS last july and you think that would have motivated me to keep me on track.  but no.  i just kept floating around being kind of happy where i was and allowing myself to slack when it came to tracking what i ate and getting some exercise in too.

i think i got to my 'new normal' as some people call it.  but now that i've been here awhile, i'm not loving it anymore.  i'm seeing myself not as a lighter version of my old self, but as a different chubby me.  does that make sense?  i'm still overweight.  i can still be losing.  i still have work to do. 

so, i'm hosting a weight loss challenge ... THE POUND CHALLENGE.  it is basically the same as the one i did last year (that i talked about in previous posts).  i use a lot of the same rules.  it is going to kick off the end of this week.  if you are interested in coming along for the ride, you can comment here or email me and i can send you the rules.  i'm pretty excited about it.  i hope it gives me the kick in the rear that i need.

another thing i am pumped about is that weight watchers has kind of revamped things a bit.  one HUGE bonus is that they now have a bar code scanner that i have installed on my phone that will tell me the pointsplus value of anything right in the store.  LOVE.  i'm always in a rush so anything that saves me time and helps me out ... is my bestie forever.

oh, and the biggest loser ... dude, love that show.  so motivated by it and i am PUMPED a new one starts this week.  i know i'm not going to drop a baker's dozen in a week, but frick ... it makes me want to try!  haha!

anyways, you heard it here first.  the same resoultion.  a new year.  i'm ready.

Am I too late to join in? I'd love to be a part & could definitely use the support & encouragement.

so RIGHT.THERE.WITH.YOU. like exactly. i lost for the first 6 month of 2011 to go on a Caribbean vacay, got back from vacay (and eating a crapload) to find a lot of excuses to not get back on the program. I started WW point counting again today. Didn't know about the revamped program - may need to find time for the meetings again in my schedule... anyways - good luck! we can do it! :)
