OK, this space will be for documenting my weight loss journey as well as generally posting things I've learned. Maybe it can help someone along the way. I've been on this weight loss journey for some time and then more or less just gave up. I came to the startling conclusion today that I weigh the same as I did a year ago O_O, meaning that I've gain back some 30lbs in the last 6 months or so. I have to say I'm not all that surprised though, I knew I was gaining weight but at the time I just didn't care. If you've tried and failed losing weight you probably know what I mean.
Luckily for me I'm a huge fan of tech. Of course right now you're probably thinking "what the heck does that have to do with anything?". Well, when I lost weight the last time I got a ton of gadgets to help me along the way most noticeably the Bodymedia (link) armband and the Withings Wifi Scale. These two items chronicalized my previous journey perfectly and now I can go back and see exactly where everything started going downhill (...or up hill in this case). I still have both devices and still swear by them (but I'll get more into that later)
Ok so here is the deal...not only will I be posting fitness tips here but I'll also compare how I'm doing this time to myself this time last year. With the Bodymedia data that I have I'll be able to see what influenced my past as it helps me shape my future. Hope you'll stick with me!!
