So I've been reading and doing my homework and decided I need to lose a little weight. These first few months of marriage have been a little too nice to my waistline--(and Craig's) so we've decided to do something about it.
I am currently at my all time high... which is particularly annoying as at the wedding I was at my best in years-- ugh, anyway--
My current BMI is 28.3-- too high, and I would like to get it down to around a 25. I know BMI isn't the most ideal measure of weight but, it will do for this purpose-- I do not have the frame that I should be down near 113lbs (seriously-- some of the tables recommend that for my height--) for me that would be unhealthy, but I need to do some work. So to that end, I need to lose about 15lbs, though I would be happy with 10. Craig has set his own goals, but its up to him if he wants to share or not.
I would like to lose this weight to help improve my health before we start trying to conceive-- plus if I can drop my weight a little I will also help lessen the issues associated with PCOS, and hopefully make it easier to conceive when we get there.
To this end, I am going to try and keep track of this on here... maybe it will help me if I feel accountable (even if it is just to the internet)-- so today is day 0. I weighed myself this morning and it came in at 152-- so down a little from the last time I weighed myself... but I need to keep going!
(**** PS-- I am not unhappy with my weight or anything like that, I just know that if I can do a little better then it will be all the better for the future, I don't look at myself and see "fat" or anything-- but for health, I should be doing better****)

OK, kiddo! My favorite piece of advice is get moving! It stinks. It's annoying. But it works. A walk after dinner, rather than just letting the dog out. Get to the gym. Buy some small weights and build some more muscle. And remember, we love you no matter what size!
That is great to hear that you are supporting each other in being healthy! And I have heard it does really help with the TTC if you have PCOS.
I need to lose 10 lbs. I will work on it with you! When I did sugar busters it worked really really well. It wasn't extreme like atkins, just eating healthier (i.e. brown rice instead of white, whole wheat pasta, and portion control.) I never felt deprived and it totally worked, and its just healthier anyway. So I guess I should go back to that, LOL! It is always easy to tell other people what to do!
You guys can do it I know. And me too, right?
The beef wellington will be delicious, everyone loves it! I will look for that dessert recipe, it was seriously awesome!
