Week three weight in

I weighed in again on Saturday but instead of immediately getting to the point, let's chat. I started this blog when I read that making your weight loss public was a helpful and easy way to stay on track with your goals. Obviously I followed the advice but The Biggest Loser gave me another helpful, yet very public way to stay on track. Last week a gentleman wrote 349 on his arm with a sharpie. When people would ask him what it stood for, he would say he wants to weight in at 349 on the next weight in. With this as an inspiration I wrote 189 on my arm. You probably don't remember but I weighed 193 last week so aiming for such a large loss was not ideal but I weighed myself Friday morning and saw 191 on the scale. In order to not blow the weight loss I had already lost I wrote 189 to stay motivated. I knew I wouldn't loss that much but it kept me motivated. On Saturday morning I kept the 191.8 on the scale and was down 1.6. The lesson I learned is that people ask why you write things on your hands. We are nosy. So if you need that extra reminder to do something whether it be to call someone or to not eat pizza, write it on your hand. It's a great conversation starter and you become your own reminder. I can't help but dare someone to write "ask me out" on their hand to see if he/she can get a date out of this. Try it!
