OK, so I'm back in this thread. GODDAMMIT!

I think I remember posting in here several months ago that I needed to lose weight, and I did my best to try. But it just wasn't going to happen. Not entirely an excuse, but between March and August, I think we had maybe 4 weekends where we weren't out and about doing something with my daughter's softball team. Mostly spending 12-14 hours a day at tournaments, which means not eating on a schedule and eating out, usually fast food. It was difficult. And will be again next summer, especially since our little one is getting in on the summer travel ball fun.

But until then, I've got about 4-5 months to get back into shape. I've decided to go with weight watchers, which seems to me to be about as close to eating normal but watching what you eat as anything I could try to do on my own. I can track points on mobile apps and on their website. I started last week.

My beginning weight was 203.2. So from my absolute lowest point about 3 years ago, I've gained back about 50 pounds. But I was probably too skinny then (which was driven home when my 12 year old daughter came back from her yearly check-up at 154 lbs. - she'd weigh more than me if I was still at my lowest). I want to get back down to around 165ish.

Anyway, one week in and I'm down to 198.6. I've been hovering around 195-200 for a number of months, so I'll be happy to head under 190 in the next several weeks. In addition to WW, I'll be running 2-3 times a week on our treadmill at home and doing some crunches. I also want to do some weights, but I've got issues with my right arm (I'm pretty sure I've got some sort of rotator cuff/labrum damage that I've put off going to the Dr. about), so I'll probably not do too much with that begin with. I don't want to hurt myself more, or go to the dr. and have them recommend something that's going to slow down my momentum to lose weight.

So... I'll be checking in from time to time. I really hope this is the last time I have to do this. I'm definitely one of those people who is great at gaining and losing weight, but absolutely cannot maintain to save my life. I have to be in a constant state of flux - either going up or down.
