I am going to attempt something big. This will require the support of my friends and family. I would like to weigh 150 pounds by my 32nd birthday. If I start seriously on February 1st that will give me 213 days to reach my target weight.
I need to lose roughly 25 pounds. That is doable... right?
25 pounds in 213 days.
That is a one pound loss every 8 1/2 days. I will just say one pound a week to make it easier. If I really lost one pound a week, that would be about 30 pounds! I will say a pound a week to give myself a little room to play with a pound or two.
I have not been 150 pounds since I was in high school, so it will be HUGE for me! I have not really been under 160 pounds since having children. This CAN happen and this WILL happen! I cannot do it on my own though and I know it. I need support. Can you help with that???
Starting this Monday, I am going to begin exercising. Hopefully this will jump start my loss. I NEED to MOVE more!
I have NOT been very diligent about staying active. The running thing did not work out. I always found excuses. This time WILL be different. I am ready to feel better and LIVE better.
Wish me luck!

Good Luck, Beth! I like reading your blog, it encourages me during my weight loss efforts. So, if you need anything let me know. One tool I have found helpful is "My Fitness Pal", you can do it online or there is a free app. You can enter all your information in and track food and exercise. I love it, because it is on my phone and I have it with me wherever I am. It has helped me lose 20 lbs since November. I am not at my target weight yet, but getting closer. Maybe it will be helpful.
That is great, Karey! I use a calorie counting site (caloriecount.about.com). I think it is real similar to My Fitness Pal. It is very helpful! I have noticed your loss. You look great! Thank you for the encouragement!
I just wanted to wish you luck on your journey. I teach a nutrition program and I just want to commend you on your positive attitude and your approach. Bless you for using your blog space to inspire others. The world can use more people like that ;)
