Weight loss success

So far I have lost a total of 9 pounds! Yay! I lost 2 the first week and 7 the second week! I am so proud of myself. I'm almost half way to my goal for the weight loss challenge. The more I think about it, the more ocnfident I am that I will be able to loose all of this weight!

20/20 Step 4

Step 4 is about portions and measuring. This morning I decided to measure how much 1c of milk was and gosh! It's not very much. I'm definitely going to have to measure everything. Ashlee also posted 2 tasty looking recipes.

20/20 Step 2

I love Ashlee's idea she used to track her weight loss!! I'm totally jacking her idea, down to the stickers (because apparently I'm a child too because I think stickers are the bomb). So, today when I go to Walmart, I'm picking up a poster and some pretty stickers! YAY!

20/20 Challenge

So, step one in the challenge is to make a plan and set your goal.

My Plan: To lose 20 lbs. in 20 weeks
My Goal: To reach -175 lbs. (not during this challenge)

Here's Where It Starts...

I have decided I am sick and tired of being the person that has taken me over. I want to be me again. I used to like to walk around for hours and hours at the mall. I didn't run out of breath running short distances. I didn't have so much problem finding clothes I liked that fit right. I used to like to dress up. I didn't always worry if people were staring at me, what they said, what they thought. I want to go back to that, and today's the day. I have let my weight get the best of me and I want to alter my life, take control, and become the real me!

I have got up to (oh, this is so embarrassing) 320 lbs. UGH! I can't believe I just said that. My husband doesn't even know that. But, I want to get down the 115-154 lb weight range, which is the healthy weight range for my height.

I love reading Ash's blog. She's such an inspiration. She's starting a 20lbs in 20 weeks challenge, in which I've decided to participate. So, starting Friday, I am changing my life. Change is going to be good.
