Weight - 312.8
So, I spent this weekend binging, but it doesn't seem to have caught up with me yet. I ate so much crap that wasn't good for me, and I barely ate a meal, instead spending the entire time grazing.
Fortunately, it hasn't caught up with me yet, and I'm hoping it doesn't.
It was entirely stress eating since my Blackberry died this weekend, and my grandma died last Monday, and my mom's been stressed out.
I also haven't really worked out since Wednesday because of the pain caused by Zumba and how busy I've been.
Keep your fingers crossed!
BTW, the new weekly goal is 8.9. I'm not expecting to reach it, but I'm not going to change my goal. I might have to change my weekly goal during the second set, but I'm not going to change my goal until November 1.

Day 3 - Bikinis? And beaters?
Current stats:
Weight:314.5
Pant size: 24
So, the bikini thing. Some people might say that 200 lbs is still too fat for a bikini. And some of those people might be right. But they also need to understand that people carry weight differently. I am 2 pant sizes bigger at 200 lbs than my mother was at 200 lbs, and she's 4 inches taller than I am. She is currently 160 lbs and a size 12/14. So, she lost 50 lbs and 6 sizes, which is about 2 inches per 10 lbs.
Last summer, I lost 20 lbs, which was about 1.5 inches per 10 lbs. By that logic, losing 100 lbs would result in a 15 inch decrease, or 7 sizes, bringing me down to a size 10. Thought I doubt I'll be a size 10 at 200 lbs, I'd be willing to bet that I could get down to a curvy size 16, allowing me to feel very comfortable in a bikini.
As for the "beaters" part, that came from my boyfriend. We're both rather overweight (him moreso than me), but we shared our weight loss goals with each other a few days ago and while I want to be in a bikini next summer, he wants to be in a beater. It's a weird way to express our goals to each other, but they make sense to both of us.
He's a more private person than I am, so he won't be sharing how he's doing it, but hopefully we'll both reach our goals by next summer.

Day 2 - The Plan
Current Stats:
Weight: 315.7
Pant size: 24
The Plans:
The Plan 1: September - November
Breakfast: Slimfast shake.
Lunch: Salad or SMALL amount of cafeteria food (when it's really good like the Mac and Cheese. I didn't get fat eating salad!)
Dinner: One plate of whatever is being served for dinner, measured with calorie intake figured BEFORE eating, and however many vegetables and salads I want. NO DESSERTS!
Exercise: Run on elliptical 3 days/week for 1 hour.
Zumba class 1 day/week
Exercise video (I have 2 dancing with the stars videos) 2 days/week
Weight lifting plan 1 3 days/week (I still don't know what that plan is)
The Plan 3: November - May
Breakfast: Slimfast or some slightly more lenient breakast.
Lunch: Salad or SMALL amount of cafeteria food
Dinner: One plate of whatever is being served for dinner, measured with calorie intake figured BEFORE eating, and however many vegetables and salads I want. Dessert once a week.
Exercise: Run on elliptical 3 days/week for 1 hour.
Zumba class 1 day/week
Exercise video (such as Hip-Hop Abs, Flirty Girl Fitness, etc.) or toning plan 2 days/week
Weight lifting plan 2 6 days/week
Over the course of the next few weeks, I'll be figuring out my weight lifting plans and sharing them here.
By the way, I still have NO intention of walking to class. My exercise will take place in a climate controlled area in NO relation to the weather outside. When it's hot, I'll take the bus. When it's cold, I'll take the bus. On a beautiful day, guess what? Taking the bus. My campus is uphill both ways (not a joke) and I live a mile and a half away from the building where all of my classes take place.
On my second day of exercise, after Zumba, I decided that part of my workout plan involves 2 ibuprofen about an hour before I work out. This is because I was only able to run for 20 minutes on Tuesday and Zumba HURTS.

Day 1 - for real this time
Current Stats:
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 317.3
Pant size: 24
The Goals:
Goal 1: Weigh 250 lbs by my birthday (November 1)
I want to need new clothes by my birthday. Not a weird want, except I'm not buying any clothes until then. This includes shoes.
So, that's 8.1 lbs/week starting today.
I'll recalculate my weekly goal and adjust my eating and exercise as I go.
My weekly goal will probably shift upwards until the weight starts melting off, but if history is any guide, after about a week, I start dropping weight like crazy
Goal 2: 200 lbs by May 1
Here's where the bikini comes in. It's a smaller goal at 2 lbs/week for 25 weeks, but Christmas and Thanksgiving are included in this goal, and I love to cook.
I will also be gradually increasing the weights that I lift in this time in order to tone certain parts of my body.
More than anything, I want to wear a bikini next summer.
So, there are my (lofty) goals. How do I plan on achieving them? See the next post with "The Plan"...
