It is so exciting to see all of you talking and sharing motivations, inspirations and successes! Each week I will be posting an "official" weigh in thread ask you to share something about yourself and a challenge. Then each week you can update us on how you did with your challenge.
Please give your official weight to start 2016. Then give us your motivation.
This week's challenge is simple - LOG EVERYTHING!!!
Good, bad or ugly just the act of logging everything, will make you think twice about shoving that snickers bar in your face! I am truly looking forward to this journey with all of you!

SW: Aug. 2015 was 258, got down to 232 just before Thanksgiving. (Holidays were a little rough, sooo glad to have this to come back to!) Looking forward to getting back to that low and then beyond...
Motivation: My family and feeling healthy
2016 goals... To make lasting changes that affect myself and my family (esp. my 3 girls) in our health (physical), spiritual, and mental bodies. Physical= for them to enjoy some of my daily exercises and for me to enjoy playing "sports" or whatever active activity they are interested in pursuing. Spiritual= read through the psalms together and journal our thoughts. Mental= for me to be faithful in their education, not lazy.
(homeschooling through a charter school).
I mention all of these goals in an attempt to share a little about myself and how my days are spent. Looking forward to hearing more about all of you!0 -

Starting weight : 254.2 gained a few pounds this week.
My motivation is to never allow myself to feel belittled or like I don't belong in a mall, eatery, or at a social gathering. I never want to have to feel tears in the dressing room bc nothing fits or they don't make my size. I never want to feel tired for the most basic things. I want to run and play with my toddler. I want to love being intimate with H bc I feel good about myself! I want to honor the body God has given me. I want to stop punishing myself with overeating... My motivation is me!0 -
