I have to lose about 100 pounds but I'm doing it in 2 parts. I've got a health goal of 199 pounds (I'm 5'10" and very large-framed so this would be my official non-obese weight) and then my vanity goal which is 165. I'm about a size 8 or 10 at that weight and look hot.
14. Least Favorite Household Chore?
Dishes
15. How did you find Calorie Count?
I really really wanted to diet and everyone at my old job wanted me to go out places with them. I was trying to find something I could eat at McDonald's or Burger King that wouldn't blow everything.
16. Anything Else You'd Like To Share?
At current, I'm going through some pretty hard times in my life. My 19 month old nephew recently died of leukemia so everyone on my husband's side (and some sympathetics on my side) are completely heartbroken about it. My father also recently died of a heartattack. That's my main motivation for this. While I'm nowhere near his 350 pounds, I'm afraid if I don't do something NOW I'll end up like him.
I'm really looking forward to joining this community. Message boards become an easy obsession for me so I thought a message board about weight loss would enable me to become more obsessed with weight loss which is what I really need to be.
My blog is here. I write in it daily. It's a great tool for me to cope with all the stuff that I'm going through this year. Learning to cope in ways other than eating is definitely one of the things I need to do for success at this time.
