Weight Loss Challenge

So I admit I'm obsessed with the weight loss shows that have been on tv. I watch Biggest Loser, Heavy, and I Used to Be Fat. I sit on my couch sometimes with food watching them, saying "I can do that." Yet, I'm not.  I've lost my motivation. 

I give mad props to everyone on those shows for having the courage to show all of themselves on tv.  So to give me that boost of motivation to get back on track, I have decided to show all of myself on my blog.  I may not be as big as some of them on the shows but I do have a long way to go to reach my goal.  I am so disappointed in myself for just giving up on myself.  I want to change for the better.  So here it is...

My name is Ysa and I weigh 180 pounds.  My ultimate weight loss goal is to lose 50 pounds and get back to the weight I was when I graduated high school.  130 was not only how much I weighed when I graduated but it is also the weight I should be for my height.  As of right now, I am OVERWEIGHT!!!  I know I can do this once I start, I just have to figure ways to keep my motivation going cause I could easily lose it. 

I am not only announcing it but posting some pictures.  My thinking is "if I post pics and announce it, than it would keep me going cause I don't want to just post this and not do anything about it."


here I am at 180 lbs.

from the side, I don't look that bad!

Wish me good luck on my weight loss journey. My journey starts today and I know that I can do it. Baby steps, right?

  1. yay esse! you can do it girl! :) im totally on this challenge with you I have 30lbs to loose before I can get to my before baby weight which is 109. I started my workout when Jun started his leave and thankfully Ive been keeping up,the hardest part is eating,for the most part Ive been doing good but its so hard staying away from what were used to eating ya know but im doing it and jun is a big part of it too,he monitors me when I work out as well as my eating. Its good to have him helping me out on this cause its more motivating. Just yesterday being the first of the month I took one of my journals and started jotting down everything I ate and how many calories as well as how long my workout sesh was and how many calories I burned. Its actually pretty fun to write it all down. The elliptical help a whole lot plus i layer my workout clothes for more sweating.Im really loving it. what are your workout routines,maybe i'll try them :) but you can do it girl,I'll be tuning in.

  2. Thanks Camy! I do journal what I eat, but my thing is I LOVE FOOD. Food is my obsession...which makes it super hard. I'll be doing the elliptical cause I have it at home. I'm also going to slowly get back into running. Man, before all my weight, I loved running. I could run everyday. But sadly, I became content with everything in my life and just let everything go.

  4. You're so brave sister! Not a lot I know that would bare all like you just did, not even myself; you give me some sort of hope, that I too, could do the same. I'm proud of you. You most definitely can do it. You have it in you. It's the start there that's a challenge. Go for it....
