Second start stats

OK, finally got around to taking my measurements. I am so full of determination to lose weight, I can't explain the positive feelings that I have going on right now, and I really haven't lost much weight, just feel skinnier. So here are my latest stats:
Weight: 209
neck: 16.5
L. arm: 13.5
Bust: 46.5
Waist: 44
Gut: 44.5
Hip: 43
L. thigh: 23
L. calf: 15.75
L. ankle: 9.25

My perfect imperfections

So excited! I just uploaded my first Youtube video on a thrift outfit and what I like/don't like about myself. I would be too embarrassed to put a full body shot, but you can see in my face that I am obese(blah!) I hope to use these types of videos to record my weight loss. So in this video I weigh 209, gained some over Christmas break.

update on my beginning

I've been pedaling on my exercise bike for the past three weeks. Started the first week with 10 minutes. I'm now up to 20 minutes and can work up a decent sweat. My stomach sometimes seems smaller, in fact my daughter Bri said when she hugged me she felt boobies instead of belly, so maybe I am losing.

Haven't weighed myself or done "official" measurements. My oldest daughter was visiting and we compared hip measurements: I'm only 2 inches bigger than her, it's just my belly! Definitely an apple shape.

I've been inspired lately by some amazing women on Youtube who share beauty, hair, and style, especially thrift store style hauls. I really like MsPinkFabulous and thehipchickonline. Watching their videos make me want to do better in my life.

Two goals I have now are to add some toning to my exercise and to play more with my and Ainsley's hairstyles. Merry Christmas!

If at first you don't succeed, try, try, AGAIN.

Almost a year has gone by. I'm probably still the same physically and mentally as last February. I lack commitment to myself. So here we go again, I'm trying to lose weight on my own, not join Weight Watchers or any other weight loss program. I'll get some pics, might even wear the same clothes and my current stats. Pray for me to succeed this time.
