Biggest Loser

In keeping with my New Years resolutions, my school is having a biggest loser contest, and I am participating. I had been weighing myself at the gym on Mondays, but since the weigh in for the Biggest Loser is at school on Fridays, I'm going to use those weigh ins instead. It's a better time anyway, I think - since over the weekend I'm not as stringent as I am during the week. I wear jeans every Friday, so granted - they are heavier than the work out capris I would have on at the gym, but I'm focusing on the difference in weight, so as long as I'm wearing the same thing - it will be fine. Last Friday we had our first official "weigh in." One of the school police officers weighs us in the nurse's office. Yesterday was the end of the first week, and I lost 2 pounds! I had the biggest weight loss of the ladies for week 1! The final day is the last day of school. I would like to lose about 10-15 more pounds, I think. I'm down 5 pounds from Jan 1st, but about 4 of those pounds were holiday gain, so I think losing 14 more pounds from what I'm at now is my goal. We will see though. In the end, it's only a number. I'm using livestrong.com to track what I eat, and it really helps me keep myself in check. I'm not perfect everyday, and I don't track on Saturdays - but it definitely helps.
