AW: Down 7 lbs!

in Alabama Babies

DH and I started a Scale Back Alabama team at the hospital and our first weigh in was 1/25.  Today we weighed in again and I am down 7 lbs! Even if it's mostly water weight, I've lost some at least :)  That's exactly what I needed to stay motivated through the weekend!

If you don't know what SBA is...basically it's a statewide challenge to lose 10 lbs in 10 weeks--Jan 23rd-April 10.  There are state and also hospital prizes at stake.  Wish me luck to keep it up! I'm going to need it!

(My ultimate goal is to lose more than 10, but it's a start)

    That is great! I am also doing scale back, but I have been terrible about what I eat/how much I work out. I don't think I'm going to do well at my weigh in next week!

    That's usually me, but it seems I "feel" it this time.  I need to step it up on exercising though, I've only truly exercised once...other times I count the many trips up and down the stairs at work and walking around Target, ha.

    Congrats!

    We have SBA at my hospital and I did it last year.  I probably lost only 3 lbs the whole time.  Unfortunately my team wasn't very motivating, so I opted out of it this year.

    Siggy coming soon....

    Congrats!!!  That's great progress! I'm the coordinator for SBA at my office and everyone is really getting into it this year.  Our office has already lost 179.3 lbs (68 participants).  I can't wait to be on a team next year!
