first OFFICIAL weigh in

I've been at it for a week (relatively speaking), but today was the FIRST official weigh in! A starting point - not a weigh in to compare to last week's numbers. Of course I'm ashamed of my numbers, and before ya'll* swamp me with comments asking me to share them (because as you can see, my posts have thus far been flooding with comments - HA!) -- here they are:

Week One:
weight - 157.8
body fat % - 36.9* (gross)
BMI - 25.5

Consider this: I was only 17% body fat in high school, and I weigh only 8 pounds more than I did. That's how much muscle I lost, which was then replaced by a heck of a lot of fat (...as we all know, muscle weighs much more).

Maybe, just maybe, my lovely competitors will grant me permission to post their numbers. I'd love to let you see the comparison!

*Ya'll: A shout out to my boyfriend, Chris, who is temporarily living in Virginia, but is not at all southern.
*36.9: A slightly inaccurate measurement. There's no way that nearly half of my body is pure fat. The inaccuracy doesn't really matter though, the three of us have the same scales. Considering we're going by percentage LOST, it's all relative!
