I can't believe that I haven't blogged yet about my weight loss progress. Let me go back and start from the beginning. In July I began working with an amazingly motivated team teacher Anita. She began talking to me about a local gym and I became very interested.
August 2nd, 2010 I walked into MMA Catch Wrestling Gym. I have to admit that I was TERRIFIED because I had put on weight and wasn't sure how much I could really do. I was surprised at how nice and friendly everyone was and how no one really did pay attention that this big girl was huffing & puffing and sweating like a man. Later in the month I began attending Weight Watchers meetings. Through working out almost every day and WW, I was able to lose 15 pounds and almost 12 inches all over my body.
In January I had a routine visit with my OBGYN, where I was excited to announce that the hubby and I were ready to start a family. My OBGYN informed me that being overweight and pregnant increased my odds of many difficult issues and could even be fatal to an unborn child or myself. With this news I knew I had to kick the weight loss into a new stage. I have been working out, but not like I was and not like I need to be. I did apply for the Biggest Loser (yes - the TV version) and I wasn't a candidate because I wasn't heavy enough. So Billy with the MMA Academy in Smiths Grove has agreed to take on the challenge and write me a Biggest Loser inspired plan for the next 3 months. I'm actually pretty excited about it because I am lucky to have a support family and friends. I know I won't stay this way, but hopefully this blog will help me stay committed.
So, tomorrow I start my 12 week weight loss plan ...... 12 weeks to lose 30 pounds. After much thought I will be blogging through my journey (posting actual weight & measurements weekly & monthly)...Stay Tuned!
