In the past month I decided that Londyn was too old for me to still be carrying my "baby" weight around. I decided that tight clothes on this body was not cute. I decided that I needed a life style change. A healthier me.
That's when my journey begin with My Fitness Pal. Now I would be lying if I said that this is my first try at this program. I tried it about 4 months ago when Londyn was turning 1 and I knew that she could no longer be my excuse. Truth is though, I dropped out after 5 days of doing it and no change in weighed. After hearing friends talk about the beginning of their success on this journey I wanted to take a second shot.
This is not always an easy journey, but a journey that I am quickly realizing is well worth it. My first week was a struggle to stay under my calorie goal and work off the calories that were over. Week two I could tell a difference in my appetite. Last week I found that I was eating too few calories by the end of the day, but yet it was too late to add calories.
Confession moment for me is ugly but here it is:
Starting weight: 173
Goal weight: 127
Weight as of 7/20/2011: 163
My first goal is to be at 140 the first week of September. I would like to be at my final goal by next Spring. I am giving myself more time because I know that this journey is going to get harder.
I have talked to a few people and would love to get a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly meeting and weigh-in started soon. Girls, you all know we work better as a team when it comes to the biggest battle out there. Why not do it together. I'm thinking this meeting could, not limited to, consist of weighing in, sharing success stories, sharing healthy recipes, and possible a work out session. I am really interested to know who all would want to join me in this journey.
When you walk into the store what department is ALWAYS grouped with Health? That's right beauty! I love my new life style! I love feeling good! I love knowing that I am making a healthier me! With the healthier me brings a sense of beauty. I want both to run hand in hand in my life.
With the way that I have been losing my weight thus far, I have this fear that I am going to wake up any minute and realize that I was dreaming. I don't want to dream about it, I want to make it happen. I want to be the Biggest Loser!

Hi Kimber - Count me in. I am not doing the same thing that you and Lisa are doing, but the end result is the same. So if that doesn't matter, please let me know if you end up starting somehting with a group of ladies, because I would definitely be interested in joining. The weight loss journey, no matter which route you take, is always a tough one and I agree with you - it is much easier having others around who support you and encourage you. So, please let me know. And great job so far - 10 lbs is awesome. You are well on your way to your goal!!
Gloria, I will definitely let you know!!!!
