Day One

So how is today going? Well starting weight 198.8. That means I have gained 4 lbs back of what I had lost. I guess it could be worse, but really
should be better.
Today's breakfast consisted of:
Dannon Frusion Smoothie (180 Calories).
Captain Crunch (100 Calories)
1 nilla wafer (18 calories)
Lunch consisted of:
Chicken and Dumpling Soup (360 Calories)
16 oz Sprite (188 calories) - yes I know bad bad bad
Dinner was:
Hamburger Helper(350 calories)
Cheddar Cheese (90 Calories)
Tostadas (140 calories)
Cookies (200 calories)

Total :1,626

According to Live Strong I can Have 1,944 calories a day. (In order to lose 2lbs a day) So I think I did pretty good for the first day; my biggest flaw is that I did not work out, I made lots of excuses and in the end just did not do it.

How it started

So I was asked by a few how to explain how I lost the first 33lbs. Well to be honest I had lost 40lbs but gained some of my weight back over the holidays. My journey began in March when I just decided buying larger clothes was not an option. Something had to be done. So I began looking on line and for a few months attempted to count points. It was my own adapted version of Weight Watchers because I was not paying for the program. After a while I ran in to the web site Livestrong.com, they have a great program that lets you search through food and count calories. This was when my weight loss really started because I was able to see I was really eating to many calories and not burning enough. So I started walking. After a while I decided to start adding some jogging to the mix to keep things a little difficult.
It's amazing how easy weight loss is if you just watch what you eat and get of your @$$. But there in also lays the problem. Some time around thanksgiving I stopped. The lady I was walking with gave up on her weight loss journey and I just stopped walking. After a while I stopped logging my food. I'm not sure why accountability to someone else meant so much, but it turns out it did. So that's why I have decided to start this blog. Maybe some of my friends, and some strangers who stumble in will help me on my journey.

Goals

So I was just informed by a friend that if I make it to Valentines day on my plan I am more likely to stick to it. She heard it on the news so it must be true right! hehehe But I must set a goal to reach by then. So, I hope to lose 2 lbs a week and there are about 7 weeks between now and then. I am going to be realistic and give my self some lee way. (plus this week is about over)

By February 14, 2008. I will lose 12lbs.

Trying to figure this all out

Well its new years eve! Another year is about to go by and I still have "baby" fat to lose. Mind you this is not from having my babies, its simply fat that I have acquired since I was a baby. So after thinking long and hard I really found that I tend to give up on my weight loss because I don't feel I have a support system. I had some success the last few months of this year with a weight loss partner... but she fell off the wagon. So being left alone I thought I would seek out support on this vast world wide web.
This is my first time trying this so please be patient and suggestions , tips and advice on weight loss and creating a blog are more than welcome!

So here we begin
