Weight:231 lbs (BMI 40.94, Wii FIt Age29)
Activities:EA Sports Active for 25 minutes or so, burned 217.9 calories
Food: Big fail. Thundercloud Club Sandwich, 3 packages of 100 Calorie almonds, 2 diet Dr. Peppers, too much Popeye's fried chicken and 2 biscuits, and a Pepsi. So far...but it's already 8:30, so I think after a Crystal Light popsicle and a few glasses of water, I'm going to bed anyway.
So, this EA Sports thing is gonna kick my ass. I'm looking forward to that. I'm honestly surprised the leg thing fit around my fat thigh. I'm feeling good, despite gaining back everything I walked off the other day.
I feel like I'm making progress, even if it's not evident on the scale...yet. On a personal, kind of gross, and inquisitive note, I'm wondering how, when you burn fat, it leaves your body. More bluntly, will my poops be different if I'm losing weight?
That's gross to think about, but I'm curious. Anyway, I'm off to drink water.

Do Sundays count?
Weight: 229.5 lbs. (BMI 40.66, Wii Fit Age 27)
Activities: 17 minutes on Wii Fit, all balance games
Food: fail...leftovers from Texas Roadhouse (2 rolls with butter, 1/4 piece of chicken fried chicken with a little white gravy, 8-10 loaded french fries with bacon and cheese a few dipped in ranch dressing) and I'm about to go out to eat dinner with my brother.
My weight might be a fluke because I may have counted my clothes as too heavy. But, seeing progress is good, so I'll take it.
I'm feeling good, and I'm working on staying positive. It's hard to stay focused on the good food choices thing because I'm going to Disney World in a few days, and it's completely out the window then. On the plus side, I'll be walking the parks a whole lot, so hopefully it will even out.
I'm sure some people (the boy) are getting tired of me talking about this all the time. But, it's important to me, so it needs to be important to those around me, or they don't need to be around me anymore. I think once I've got some solid habits formed, I won't need to talk about it as much, but for the time being, I need to be at least a little obsessed so that I can stay on top of making healthy choices.
Ultimately, I'm glad I am watching what I eat and trying to be more active. I may never get the figure that I want, but I need to be more healthy, and this is the way to do it.
So far, I'm way behind on my 5 lbs. per month goal, but with the right amount of work and proper food choices, I may still reach 60 lbs. by the end of the year. Truthfully, though, as long as I end the year lighter than I started, I'm calling it a win. If I can be <200 even better. If I really do lose 60 lbs, that just leaves 40 to lose the next year. If I could be my goal weight (125ish) by the time I'm 30, that would be amazing. I'd like to start my 30s less like Bridget Jones and more like...someone who isn't a mess. :)

Weight: 230.6 lbs (BMI 40.86, Wii Fit Age 25)
Activities: 31 min. on Wii Fit (mostly aerobics, then yoga, some strength training and balance games, but that included 2 complete "workouts" where I combined exercises like it recommended)
Food: TGI Fridays (fail) Potato skins (no onion or sour cream) and 2 Jack Sliders things. 1 glass of Coke, Diet Dr. Pepper

I'm realizing that if I have to explain my workout that much, I'm overcompensating for under-working out.
But, some is better than none, so that's my day today. On the plus side, I'm down 1.5 lbs from my last weigh-in. I think it was the park walking. And, aside from the TGI Friday's, I've been waaaay more careful about what I eat.
I'm feeling good anyway. I was trying on clothes yesterday and realized I no longer have knees. I just have clumps of flesh where my legs used to be. I'm working on that for sure too.
Oh, also, my Wii Fit called me Amber today, claiming it forgot my name because I haven't been on it in 18 days. Lame sauce, for real.

Scared to death (of death)
Weight: 235? (haven't weighed yet...I'll update when I do)
Activities: walked 5 miles around Town Lake
Food: tilapia with butter and herbs (the box says 80 calories), 1/2 roma tomato sliced with sea salt, 2 white cheddar rice cakes (super good!!), diet dr. pepper

So, today, I walked 5 miles with my friends, and by the end, my extremities were totally numb. From my wrists to my fingertips, I was totally swollen. In fact, part of the time I walked, my fingertips were purple. The 3 outside toes on each foot went numb along with my cheeks, lips, and nose. Ultimately, I finished my walk and now I'm back to normal, but I have to say, I was scared.
I really didn't realize I was that out of shape. So, I need to really do all the things I've been planning to do for so long. I'm going to make better food choices, and I'm going to be more active. If not, this will eventually kill me. I'm not going out like that.
