Week 1, Day 1 - Looking for the Old Me!


Starting Weight: 169.4 lbs.
Current Weight: 169.4 lbs.
Current Week: +/- 0.0 lbs.
Total Weight Loss: 0.0 lbs.


I named this blog "Brand New Amy" but truly I should have named it "Find the Old Amy"! I am not looking to turn myself into someone new, I'm actually trying to find the old me. Once upon a time, I was a more "normal" sized person. Over time, I've gotten away from who I used to be and now I'm trying to get back to who I was. This morning, I joined Weight Watchers for what is "hopefully" the final time. I've tried in the past and more recently I've tried online. Unfortunately something hasn't clicked, until now. I am going to work this program EXACTLY as it is supposed to be worked and I'm going to do it for me. Yes, I want my family to be proud of me. Yes, I want my family to see what healthy looks like, but for once, I'm going to put me first. I deserve it!

This next part scares me. I'm going to post my "before" photos that I had my daughter take...today. I am afraid of who I am. However, it is me so there isn't much I can do but face myself and change me. Ugh...

WW...still and again!

Here we go...again. I've tried WW (formerly known as Weight Watchers) over and over and over again. July 28, 2018 I committed to starting again and taking it seriously. By January 1, 2019, I was down 15 lbs. from July and 20 lbs. over all. I made it through the holidays but unfortunately, I didn't make it through the new year. My will came crashing down and the weight is slowly going back on. Well, I've decided to take to blogging again hoping to find my will and motivation and get back up again. Here I go!!!

Dusting this thing off and trying again!

I’m honestly not sure what the draw is to blogging for me. It definitely isn’t the “money” as I pretty much don’t have any followers (and if I do, I thank you!) and literally have ZERO sponsors but I think for me it is a form of journaling and that may be the draw. Last night as I was winding down from the day, I decided to give WW another try. I’d been paying for their services for awhile and when I “work the program” I have a lot of success. However, I’ve been avoiding the program for about an month and have had no success...go figure. My goal is to give WW one more month, follow it as best as I can, and reevaluate my situation then. I’m choosing to do the Purple Plan because I feel like that is the best one for me, at the moment. Right now I need more zero point options and this plan has the most. I preplanned breakfast and lunch, both zero points, which leaves me with 16 points for dinner. My goal is to only use 12 so that 4 will carry over giving me a little bumper for my upcoming...

Weight Loss Chart

So, I decided to create a chart of my weight loss. Not sure how often I will update it but it is nice to look at from time-to-time! I started my journey in January of 2012 and re-started in January of 2014. I originally lost about 20 lbs. and managed to keep 10 off over the course of two years so I should be pretty excited. I am, sort of. But I also wonder where I'd be today had I continued the journey. Really hoping I can keep it up this time around! Date Weight Change Total 1/22/2012 169.4 0.00 0.00 1/4/2014 159.2 -10.20 -10.20 1/11/2014 155.6 -3.60 -13.80 1/18/2014 155.2 -0.40 -14.20 1/25/2014 154.2 -1.00 -15.20 2/1/2014 153.8 -0.40 -15.60 2/8/2014 155.4 1.60 -14.00 2/15/2014 150.6 -4.80 -18.80 2/22/2014 149.6 -1.00 -19.80 3/1/2014 150.6 1.00 -18.80 3/8/2014 149.8 -0.80 -19.60 3/15/2014 148.8 -1.00 -20.60
