Yesterday was my first weigh in. And I have lost 4 pounds in week 1! And I am super thrilled.
I am already feeling more energetic and charged.
My excess weight has led to many problems though I was never ready to admit them! Some of those are listed below:
1. Left knee in a bad shape. Find it difficult to climb stairs.
2. Last year I fractured my right ankle and the Doctor told me one of the causes was my excess weight. Ankle still hurts.
3. Am out of breath after climbing a couple of flights of stairs.
4. Find it difficult to sit on the floor and get up.
5. Unable to stand for a very long time etc etc...
I hope I will be able to overcome some of these issues by losing weight...
Need to keep myself motivated.
On my way!

So here I am
So here I am at 235 pounds having made a promise to myself to sincerely do what needs to be done. But I have a confession to make. I still have fears that I will fail yet another time. My attempts always start with a Bang but slowly over time I lose the will.
And that is why I'm here- hoping to find support with the people who know what it's like and how tough it is!
I've been reading lots of weight loss blogs and it's given me a tremendous boost. So if u've come across my blog do drop in a word. It helps tremendously!

My one billion and oneth attempt to lose weight
Well, that title must have told you how unsuccessful I've been at losing it. One time though, I did manage to lose about 50 pounds but gained it all back in a year and then some. After that it was pretty much lose a few, gain a lot...and finally I just gave up. Which is where I was at, up until four days ago when I received another wake up call..
Of late my left knee had been giving me a lot of trouble. I was having difficulty climbing stairs, getting up from low seaters etc. I was unable to climb stairs without holding onto railings as that would give me some support. Otherwise my knee would hurt a lot and I would end up climbing the stairs like little children..one stair at a time with the good leg going first on each staircase.
But even that wasnt enough to nudge me to take the plunge again!
Last Thursday my knee had been hurting pretty bad so I lay down on the down on bed and suddenly I had a very sharp shooting pain in my thigh which seemed to be going till my knee. I was unable to move, turn or get up from the bed! I was almost screaming with every attempt at movement of any sort.
And as I lay there, in that moment, I honestly thought that I had brought some sort of permanent debilitating injury onto myself due to my carelessness. And I begged God for forgiveness and one for more chance...to set things right.
