Starting round 2

I had been debating on this for a while..would I do another round after the 6 week weight or see what I could do on my own. Round 1 was hard but manageable. I also do not like that I did not lose any weight..well, like 5 lbs..in the 6 weeks. BUT I've proven to myself that I am not ready to do this on my own. I fell into some old habits and started eating out. I have been making smartER choices but still not the best choices. There are a couple other reasons for this decision. Who couldn't take up an offer to be almost guaranteed a weight loss of 30 pounds in 30 days with little effort exercise wise? I am really hoping to take a trip mid-July and it would be great to be 30 lbs lighter.

Another reason for this decision comes after a conversation with my husband. My husband has always been bigger than me. Not just taller, but larger as well. I've taken comfort in this..maybe too much comfort in this. He is doing the Atkin's diet and is doing great! While I've been waiting out my 6 weeks of next to zero weight loss, he's continued to lose. He is now almost under the big 3 which puts him almost 50 pounds away from me. I knew when we started our weight loss journey's together that he would lose weight faster. It's just the law of physics..men lose faster. BUT I have to admit I was REALLY upset thinking he was going to surpass me. Like crying over it upset. He's always been bigger than me..always. Don't get me wrong..I am THRILLED he has taken to losing weight as well. I can't wait for us to be healthier but he also admitted he is not stopping until he hits 200 lbs. I haven't looked up what a man his height should weigh but I've said all along I would be happy with getting back under 200. Realisticly, I should be around 160 but after having 2 kids and having a mom's body, I would be content with 180-190. But with me being 5'8-9" and my husband being 6'3"..I should be more than 10-20 pounds under him. I guess we'll just have to see where we are when we get to those weights. After round 2, I should be where I was when I got pregnant with Braedon...about 215. I still could've lost 30 or so pounds but I was a lot healthier than I am now.

So tomorrow, I will start the injections with the 3 day gourging phase :) I will post starting weight tomorrow. Chris helped me measure myself tonight and everything is where it was when I ended or close to it. It's hard to know if I'm in the exact spot where the previous measurements were taken.
