Getting Started

I felt as if I needed to have a place to put all my thoughts as I go on this adventure of losing weight. I have joined a weight loss website where I can have others help motivate me and I can keep track of my calorie intake each day. I know myself though, and I ALWAYS start out ready to kick my bodies ass and get into weight loss gear and after about 2 weeks I slow down and eventually stop worrying about it. Well it is gotten too far now. I am officially the heaviest that I have been since I was pregnant with my son, which was 8 years ago, so I cant blame baby weight. After I had him I actually got back down to looking great, but in the last few years I have packed on the pounds and now been able to motivate myself to try to get them all off. I even got married this April and I did not even have enough motivation to loose weight for that!!! I mean come on...my wedding!!! Anyway, I had gotten very frustrated and was talking to my best friend about not being able to motivate myself to get back into shape. We decided to have a contest. Granted, she is already a skinny bitch, but she feels that she could loose a few pounds too. We have also gathered up a few friends to join in our competition. We are all going to see who can loose the biggest percentage of their current body weight by August 4th. The winner will get treated to dinner by the losers on that last day. We all called and gave our starting weight and have the entire summer to do what ever we choose to do to get the pounds off.
I have decided to workout 6 days a week and only take in 1300 cal. per day. I hope this works. I am very tired of my body and would like to look like I did 4 years ago or even like I did the day I met my husband 2 years ago. Anything is better than I am now.

That is why I have created this blog. To write about my plan and how it is going each day. What did I eat? Did I stay under or go over my cals? Did I go to the gym? How do I feel? Am I loosing any weight? Did I reach a roadblock?

All of these will be things that I will write about in my posts each day. Yesterday I started my new adventure at a weight of 144. Let's see how well I can do!!!!
