DAY 1.
okay... i want to blame my weight on the box of scalloped potatoes that i ate at 11pm last night... but, i think it's also the billion pierogies that i've eaten over the past 38 years.
anyhoooo... i've been following comedian Rob Cioffi in his weight loss journal "Body For Laughs"... and figured i'd be brave enough to post the video clips of me as well
BMI: 37.2
this is the heaviest i've ever been. any chance that my camera weighs 70 pounds?
*** this was the 3rd attempt at the video clip... why? because my effing BELLY was in the shot for the other two... i was like "what the hell is that? oh sweet jeezuz! it's my stomach!!!"
on a brighter note, my friend The Other Erin and I are going to run (by "run" I mean "walk") the Fool's Run 5k in Manasquan at 11am
**** and yes. i need a new pedicure.
******** and i need to move the scale AWAY from Gigglemom's Oxygen Converter. jeez, that thing is loud as hell

Welcome to the YapFest (9 yapped)
I won't reveal mine - but I am also at my all time heaviest and it's not pretty. And though its not an excuse as to why I'm so over weight - work has been a big part of my stress for the past 6 months and on 4/1/09, that stress was fired.
Just in the past few days I have had more energy to go walking, eat less and the feelings to 'want to work out' instead of 'lets eat another bag of chips on the sofa'. I just need to follow through on it. :) But overall - I just feel damn good again and I haven't felt that way in awhile.
Good luck sweetie! We'll do it - we always do! :)
well, I couldn't see your weight, so it's a secret and I wouldn't tell anyways. I am "obese" by the standards of the height/frame index....though I don't think of myself as obese....there are plenty of much heavier people than I. But, with saying that...I do know that I need to lose at least 30 pounds, at least. I would be most happy with that, no sense in losing 50....it's too far of a reach. I am just trying to be practical. I admit that I don't like to exercise, I smoke as well....so it even makes it harder to do when I do try. I think starting by walking is a good thing and then just cutting out the snacks. I will try! Good Luck with you!
You still there? I got off my butt just a couple of days before you (first workout on 1 April, second one on 3 April) and will head to the gym again today.
(Just in case you could do with some positive reinforcement from a complete stranger.)
