Monday Weigh-In

   I am nervous for tonight's weigh-in. I know I have lost weight since last week, but the anticipation is nerve racking. There is still the "what if I gained weight" question.
   I have been doing a weight-loss challenge, sponsored by Herbalife, for about 4 weeks now. It is an 8 week challenge and the goal is to lose 12% of your beginning body weight by the end of the challenge. I started out at 247lbs. My goal is to lose about 30lbs by September 3rd. I hope I am able to do that for a few reasons: I would most likely win the 1st place price of $700; and I would have reached my end of year goal by September.
   I know that I should be losing weight at a respectable rate, so that all my skin has time to retract/shrink normally. I know that losing too much weight in a month can cause people to gain confidence and lose track of goals and will power may be substituted with uncalled for pride. It has been 6 months now that I have been using Herbalife products. My first goal with Herbalife was to lose 40lbs by the end of the year. I was 278, and now am 234, as of August 6th. I have reached my first goal. My second goal, before the challenge was to be at 230 by the end of July. I didn't reach that goal, but I did fit into smaller shirt sizes, which is a great thing! My last goal, before the challenge, is to be 210-217 by the end of the year, so this weight-loss challenge will help me reach my last goal. Even if I am 225lbs by the end of the challenge, I will be so much closer to the end of year goal!
   I am hoping to have a great weigh-in. I am keeping my fingers crossed. I am confident that my will power is better now, than ever, and I am doing the right thing.
