Well, my insulin results came back "too normal". *sigh* So, I didn't get into the JCDS. poo.
But! I'm committed to losing weight! So, I managed to haul myself to a local Weight Watchers meeting. I've never been to one before. The last time I tried WW, I did the "At Home" program. Which worked well for me for a while... but then I stopped doing it. I think that if I'm going to the meetings, maybe I'll show a little more accountability and stick with it.

First Hurdle Jumped
Well, this morning was my new appointment for the Jenny Craig Diet Study (JCDS). I arrived at 8:40, and did my paperwork. Maureen wasn't there, so I saw Susan - one of the other Dieticians.
Anyway, she weighed me... and! YAY!!! I'd managed to lose 7 pounds in the 4 weeks since my failed attempt to get into the JCDS. I'm now in their 30-40 BMI range!
So, I got my blood pressure taken (116/84) three times and had my first blood draw. They're testing my insulin levels. No clue what levels they're looking for, but she said that as long as I'm in the range, I'm in for the JCDS. I was told that if I don't hear from them in the next two days, then I'm golden. They'll only call if I'm out of the range. *fingers crossed*
My next appointment to see the Dr & have a Lipid panel done is the 12th. (The same day I fly out to Alaska for 5 days!)
I haven't really done any exercising the past week. It's been too bloody hot here, and I can't afford a gym membership right now. But, I've been VERY careful with my diet. Maybe a little too careful, like not nearly enough calories... and it'll probably catch up to me. But, I desperately want to get into this diet study!

Getting Started
Okay.
I'm a 34 year old female. Married. No kids.
I'm fat. Not fluffy.
However, this blog is a part of my journey to be neither!
I hope that it will help keep me honest in my endeavour, and maybe inspire others.
I currently weight 275 lbs. That is 126 kilos.
I am currently 70" tall. That is approximately 178 cm.
I used to be 5'11"... but I seem to have shrunk an inch. Probably due to my weight.
I have actually managed to lose 7 lbs in the past 2 weeks, which is nice. But it's been difficult.
The really hopeful news is that I'm scheduled to test into a "Diet Study" at our local university. It's a Jenny Craig study, in which they pay for all of the JC food. That would be awesome. I really I hope I get into it. I think it would give me a really good 6 month jump start!
