So, I strayed away from my weight loss journey for awhile now. Been having some personal problems and losing weight unfortunately was the least of my concerns. Things seem to be getting better (or I'm at least handling it better), so I am trying to get back on track and lose some of this damn weight! I'm so sick of being fat! Why is it so easy to gain the weight but so very difficult to lose it? Anyway, been keeping record of what I am eating, getting a little exercise in, and staying positive at least for the time being. Last week I lost 2.6 lbs. Not the greatest, but it sure could have been worse, so I'll take it! Anyway, if anyone actually reads this...good luck and take care!
So, I haven't been doing well the last few days. My family and I went to Orlando for one last little get away before I start back to school on Monday. Instead of staying on track and eating right, I regrettably decided to throw caution to the wind and eat like a skinny chick, lol. We went to Magic Kingdom and Blizzard Beach, so I did do some walking, but I def. ate too much crap! Oh well, I won't sit and dwell on it. It wasn't the first time and it sure won't be the last bad decision that I have made, so all I can do now, it get back on track and hopefully stay here awhile. I've stayed in my calorie range today, just haven't eaten very healthy though. I'll make it a point to do better tomorrow! Hope all is well with the rest of you extraPounds peeps. Take care!
I've never written a blog before, so this is all very new. I doubt anyone else will even read this, but I thought "what the heck?"...At least I can look at this later down the road and hopefully see how far I've come. Anyway, My name is Jennifer. I desperately need to lose weight as I am 5'8" and weigh 305lbs. I can't believe that I allowed myself to get this big, but as the weight keeps creeping up, the more discouraging it seems to become. I would like to get down to about 150lbs. I have to lose more than half of my current body weight and it seems almost impossible, but I know that there are people out there who have done it, and I hope to be one of them as well someday. So anyway, let me tell you a little bit about myself. I am 28 years old. I have been married for 7 years and I have 2 daughters ages 11 and 6. They are my world! I am about to start my last semester of nursing school and I can't wait to get it over and done with. It has been so hard and time consuming, but I know that it will definitely be worth it in the end. I was born in Michigan and moved to Florida 4 years ago and I absolutely love it down here! I am a theme park junkie and I love to see and do new things. I hope to one day travel the world and see what our beautiful planet has to offer! I really want/need to lose weight for a million reasons, but most importantly for my health, my family and my soon to be career. I want to be able to enjoy life without my weight restricting my ability or making me too self conscious that I don't feel comfortable participating in the things that I love. I am hoping that this site, the support groups and reading other people's blogs will give me the motivation and inspiration that I need to be successful in my weight loss journey. Good luck to all!
