So I was asked if I had a weight loss blog. I did a while back, but it got deleted from inactivity. It was called 21stones, as that was how much I weighed at the time. A stone is a British measurement, 1 Stone = 14 Pounds or 1 Pound = 0.07142857142857142 Stones. Saying I was 21 stones seemed better than saying I was 302 pounds! That was my highest weight ever. That is when I started to take action.
21stones has been taken on this site. 20stones was not available either. So that is why this is named 19stones. I will get there & keep going.
Originally I liked the stone measurement because it seemed more manageable & wasn't as embarrassing. I took the stone metaphor & painted rocks with milesSTONES on them & gave them away. I did some digging & found this website, it was me 7 years ago. This makes me sad. I've only lost 2 pounds in SEVEN YEARS?? Well I guess it could be worse, I could have gained a lot more. That has always been my problem, I don't tend to gain weight, I just don't tend to get rid of it.
So in past years I had excuses, valid ones, but excuses none the less. In 2010, I graduated with my Bachelors Degree, I got dental implants with a great new smile & I got a new car. Lots of good stuff & accomplishments. 2011 will be my year I finally get rid of this weight. This blog will help. My goal is to post EVERYDAY. I also intend to make this blog more public. I have/had other blogs but only a few close friends know about it & they don't even comment anymore. I think I need the support.
