I have to be honest and admit that I weigh myself everyday. I’m kind of obsessed. I fluctuate a lot throughout the week, and even from morning to evening. So I’ve picked one day a week to be my weigh-in day, thus Weigh-in-Wednesday (it has a ring to it, right?) Check back every week to see my progress. And feel free to leave me a comment of encouragement 🙂
Current weight – 153#
Goal weight – 128#
Weight lost – 5#
Weight still to lose – 25#
My weight loss goal is to lose 1.5# per week, and I’m hoping that having a weekly update will give me a good idea as to whether I’m on track with that or not.
I also have mini goals, which are basically focusing on 10# at a time. It can get really discouraging to think about the 25# I still have to lose. I remember when I broke 160#, I was SO excited. Now I’m focusing on getting under 150#. It makes the bigger goal feel a lot more achievable if you focus on a little bit at a time.

5 lbs the first week?! That is great, Ashleigh! I’m just finishing up my weight loss journey so I know how hard it is and how much work it is. So if you ever want to talk or want to work out together or something let me know!!

Thanks Cami! The 5lbs is actually from July 25th -now. Sorry I didn’t make that very clear 🙂 I’d love to talk/work out together sometime!

5 lbs in that time is still great – you’re 1/6 of the way there!! Yes, we should definitely get together and workout. I’m trying to like running since I know it’s good for me. I don’t love it but I do it.
