The reason I am starting this blog is so that I can journal my progress with my weight loss. I want to be around for a long time so that means changing my life style. I have been struggling to lose this weight for quite some time. This is basically for me but any comments and words of encouragment is welcomed. My favorite show is the biggest loser and is most defientely my inspiration. This is going to be the year I conquer my weight problem. Hence, A Happy New Year... A Happy New Me.

week 2

Week 2 and another 3 lbs lost making it a total of 10.4. I am so happy that I am out of the 230' s and now in the 220's. I will never go back to that again. I am on my way to onederland. This is my time to shine. I know it will be awhile to get where I want to be but I have alot of support and determination behind me. My ultimate goal right now is that when I go back to my cardiologist in November, he will be so impressed on my weight loss. Will report again next Monday.

a good week

I am very happy with my results from my first week on eating healthy. I have gone from 238.8 to 231.4 in my first week. That is 7.4 lbs lost. One more week off carbs then I can add some back slowly. Staying away from carbs hasn't been that hard for me. I am sure I will want a cheeseburger one day with bread and not just on a plate and that day will come. I am really excited to finally find somrthing that is working for me. Along with eating right and exercising I should beable to lose this weight within the year. I am truly looking forward to getting out of the plus sizes. I am on my way to onederland. That will be a real exciting day when I am 199. A real mile stone for me since I have been in the 200's forever. Here's to another good week. I will check in next Monday to let you know how I am doing.
