Well, things are going slow but I'm ok with that. I am still trying to work on the whole water thing, but it will work itself out. My first week of giving up soda went pretty good... I ended up losing 0.5 pounds. So, I am happy to have a loss.
I joined sparkpeople.com in order to get a little nutrition/fitness advice. So far I seem to like it. It's free, so that makes it even better!! Today was the first day of counting my calories. I am eating 1500-1800 calories a day. If was hard for me to get 1500 in today. I've decided I see that as a sign that I can actually do this. I have it figured out that if I am able to lose 2 pounds per week, I can lose the 91 pounds I want to lose by January 1st 2012.
I have also decided on 3 weight loss goals that will keep me working hard to accomplish them.
Goal #1: lose 5% before April 1st.
Goal #2: lose 10% by May 5th.
Goal #3: -35 pounds by June 18th (my 6 year wedding anniversary)!
You can do it, I have faith in you. I have a goal of losing 15 pounds by July 23rd. I lost 2 pounds last week, so now I just need to stick to it.
