Tales from The Scale ~ I'm starting Nutrisystem

I have absolutely had it with being unhappy with the way I look. I am so tired of looking at pictures of me and my son, or me and my friends, or me and my hubby, or me and (well you get the point), and thinking - "WOW I really look heavy here." OR "Man, I didn't realize I was this fat."

I have done other programs and lost weight, only to have it come back on as soon as I get to a good point and go it on my own. I am ready to re-train my body what is a healthy portion, and how to eat to satisfaction without over doing it.

So, I am joining Nutrisystem. For the next 5 months I will be blogging about my journey with Nutrisystem and my journey to being happy in my own skin again. I know I can do this, and I know that using the Nutrisystem program combined with exercise (which I have already been doing) I will be able to reach my goal.


My goals:
To get to a weight that is healthy for my height. I am 5'9 and currently (I can't believe I am sharing this, deep breath!) 19fat, I mean 195 lbs. I am hoping to lose 35-40 lbs.

To be in better shape for my next pregnancy. I truly think a lot of my pregnancy issues may not have been so bad if I was healthier before I got pregnant. (I had sciatica so severe that I had to crawl to the bathroom on occasion. I also has SPD which cause grinding of my pelvic bones and was pretty darn painful)

To re-teach myself portion control, and eating to satisfaction and not stuffed. To re-learn when my body is hungry, and when I am eating out of emotion. (Which I have done a lot of since Squishy was born, and through the two deployments my husband has been on.)

To overall be happier with me.

Wish me luck, I am going to need the support. You have no idea how hard it is to put out my stats for many to see. If you know me at all, you know that the idea alone makes me extremely anxious. But I am ready to change, so this is me changing.

This is My Before Picture:

I weigh 195 lbs (160-155)
Waist: 37 (30)
Chest: 40 (36)
Hips: 43 (36)
Thighs: 23.5 (19)

My goals are bolded. I know they are kind of ambitious but I feel like in 5 months with the support of Nutrisystem, I can do this!

Nutrisystem has many different programs for everyone, and they just announced a family program!
