a little slow (and round’s a shape, right?)

Ok, so Los has pimped me. Now I will return the favor, as well as get on board with his “Fat Ragamuffin” club. Los has lost like 30 pounds, probably more…doing Weight Watchers but most importantly, he has gotten healthy. Seeing his before and after pictures and videos, you can see that even a lazy worship leader can lose weight. (I am kidding on the lazy part, the guy is a crazy mad-man).
So I too, join hands with the Fat Ragamuffins. Although I wouldn’t consider myself obese, I am going to publicly display my lowest, wedding day, highest, current, and goal weights here - and what I am doing to get there. As a female - this is scary! But I want to be healthy and FEEL healthy too. I DARE YOU to do the same. Yup, that’s a dare.
- Lowest = 128 in 2002. This was NOT healthy for me. I am almost 5′6″, and athletic (well, was). I was really bony and this was during a stressful time in my life. I was not eating properly at all.
- Wedding Day = 140 in 2003. This was and is my ideal weight. I felt great, looked great. Then we were married and made brownies every week…that led to…
- Highest = 167 in 2006. This was right before Scotland in September. YIKES. I was not feeling good, my gallbladder was acting up, and I certainly was not eating healthy.
- Current = 154
- Healthy & Goal = 140-145. Weight fluctuates you know.
I lost some of the weight after having my gallbladder surgery - not eating very much for a couple of weeks helps. But once my appetite came back, and then the holidays, I gained 8 pounds BACK (thank you stupid snowman cookies), putting me around 162 for New Years.
So, I started this “water diet” - which isn’t much of a diet at all. You drink a full glass of water before, during, and after each meal and supposedly the weight comes off. I have changed my eating habits and have started exercising too, so in the last few weeks I am 8 pounds lighter and back down to 154. I figure a couple pounds a week and in a few months I’ll be back down at 140-145ish. I haven’t seen a number in the 140’s in over a year!
I’ll post updates every Tuesday.
Do you wanna join in?

I too have some weight to lose, but have a greater distance to travel. I need to lose at least 150 lbs. I’ve tried in my own power for years, only to fail time and time again. This time, I’m employing God as my accountability and trying to work on changing from “The Inside Out”. You can check in on my daily “walk” as I blog about it.
Good luck to all!!

Bold. I was just thinking this morning about posting all my weight issues. Congrats on getting down so far. Keep it up. From talking to Los about all the skinny koreans and fat americans my eyes have opened up to how most of us are overweight. Sucks.
My heaviest 265, High School and playing Varsity Volleyball: 215. Started meeting with nutritionist in September 259, currently, 238. almost there!

I’m sure you will make your goal.
Los does look remarkable, I must say.
It’s hard to believe he actually went to weight watcher’s meeting. But hey, it worked.
Keep your chin up.

OK. You are featured in the Fat Ragamuffin Video. Proud that you took the step to call yourself a Fat Ragamuffin. It is so ugly sounding huh?

Cool. I can brag losing weight (55 pounds) but then I would have to confess to having gained that weight, too. Go girl!

Wow, Anne. That is awesome. Congrats for targeting a healthy weight!! I have gained 24 lbs so far with this pregnancy (and I hear you really start packing them on in the last month or two), and after Brayden is born I’m so in for your challenge. But for now, I must keep fattening up :) Josh calls me “jolly” when I laugh :)
