First Post-Getting Started

Well, I think it is about time  way overdue that I make the first entry in this blog.  I've only had it since, ohh April.  Its now July; pretty pathetic.  I've just been reading about other people's challenges and success, but now I am going to try to start posting about my own journey.

So I started Weight Watchers on March 24 of this year.  I've only managed to lose a total of 9.4 lbs since then.  I either do really well, or I do terribly.  I haven't counted points in so long.  I think I've missed 2 or 3 meetings since March.  I really need to get my butt in gear.  

These are the incentives people I love have given me to help me lose weight:

• After I reach the first 20 lbs of weight loss, my future Mother-in-law is going to give me $200 towards my wedding dress.
• My aunt is going to give me $100 for every 20 lbs I lose.  If I lose 100 lbs, she will give me $1000.00
• I've always held on to clothes in my closet forever, saying I'll wear it again when I lose weight.  In an effort to get me to get rid of them, my mom told me she will buy me all new clothes when I lose the weight.

Seriously...if those aren't enough motivation for me then I don't know what will be!

This past February, I went to Chicago to audition for The Biggest Loser season 12.  I also made a video.  I didn't get a call back.  I was planning on auditioning again for season 13, which is in Detroit at the end of this month, but I found out filming would take place starting in around October and probably last somewhere around 14-20 weeks.  I wouldn't even be able to go on the show because I have my last semester of nursing school starting at the very end of August and going through December when I graduate.  I may still attend the audition because it was a lot of fun even though I froze my ass off in Chicago!  Wouldn't it suck though if I got picked for the season I couldn't even do it???
