Hello world! I’ve started and stopped this journal several times already, so I won’t restart it with a big huge background on me. I’m sure I’ll blabber on enough about my past as time goes on. What I really just wanted to do this evning was “put pen to paper” and get this blog-party started.
I am Coley and I’m 27 years old. I’ve got over 100 lbs to lose! (Actually my documented number is 129) I joined Slim 4 Life last week and after going to my orientation class on Friday, I started yesteday, Saturday. Right now, I’m on the evening of day two.
And I’m hungry.
But to be honest, it isn’t so bad. It’s a strange thing, really. The day I signed up, I cried. Not only because I was saying goodbye to a lot of money. (Yes, it’s one of those plans) But to be honest, right now, I don’t regret a thing. Of course, it IS only day two. But, I don’t feel deprived and this is the first program I’ve been on where I’m really forced to make healthy choices! Well, I did do South Beach for a few weeks before and I ate really healthy on that, but I ate a bit too much and the first few weeks made me MOODY. AS. ALL. GETOUT!
So far, so good on S4L. I have a list of foods that I can eat, and that is that. I also have a little sheet that tells me how much of what I’m supposed to eat. It may sound incredibly restricting (and also the reason i cried upon sign up) but it’s been really amazing for me. I NEED that restriction and I NEED to be told. I’ve gotten through both days with only some hints of hunger, but nothing so uncontrollable that I worried about whether I’d last on the program. Also, because of the very low amounts of sugar (but we do eat limited carbs) I have also maintained a very even energy leverl which is um… yeah.. HUGE for me! I was always on an UP or a DOWN and it’s been horrible, for years! I can’t wait to continue and mostly I can’t wait to weigh in and see where my discipline is taking me.
So, I’ll just leave you with the stats, please spare me the insults. Yeah, I’m fat. And if you’ve got anything bad to say about it, also realize that you’ve got a booger sticking out of your nose.
Start day: 03.28.09

I’m going to write a list of non-number goals here soon, which should be fun to “check” them off when I accomplish them. But for now, I’ll leave you with general number goals. The biggies!
I guess I could say like 279 as it’s been a while since I’ve been under 280. I could even say the same for 269 and 259 but those weights are really all just a blur.
My biggest first goal is just getting under 250.
1. 249
Next, my wedding day weight. (I wore a blue suit, in a court room. Maybe one day I’ll have a real wedding and I’ll fit in my dream dress to make it all perfect)
2. 245
Next, the weight I was when I met my husband.
3. 235
My high school grad weight. I was quite the hottie at this size!! Woohoo! And at 5’11″, about a size 14/16
4. 215
ONEDERLAND!!
5. 199
The lowest weight I EVER remember being! I was 17 and I worked out hard for 2.5 months to get there
6. 185 (It was very, very short lived)
My GOAL weight
7. 174.
To be honest, maybe I’ll be happy, comfortable and fit at 185, or maybe I might realize that I’ll find those things at 165, we’ll see. But that’s my general, healthy goal!
All my “special number” goals. Of course, every 5 lb increment is gonna be something to celebrate and oh trust me, I will!
