So, I have set a goal. 30 pounds. I am going to try to lose it by my 30th birthday in August, but if I can lose it faster- even better! Here is my attack...
- get a complete physical...bloodwork, etc
- Treadmill 5 times a week for 30 minutes
-30 weight watcher points a day
-Only weighing myself on the 30th of each month (except Feb 28th)
I am going to to say this is NOT only for vanity reasons (which I will admit...it is a part of this!)...it is just as important for me to get healthy. My Dad died of heart disease/hypertension at 54, my Grandma and my Aunt had a stroke, and I had pre eclampsia with Hypertension while pregnant with Wes (which puts me at a high risk for hypertension at a later age).
Ok....and drum roll please....I am currently 163 pounds... I won't post my weight again until Jan 30th! I promise to be honest...hold me accountable!!
**** Added**** I got a few emails from friends asking why I decided to only weigh myself once a month. It's because in the past I have weighed myself each week, and it doesn't go down as much as I thought it would, and I get discouraged and give up. If I weigh myself at the end of the month and lose 4 pounds- I'll be thrilled! I am trying to do this the healthiest way possible! I am not looking for a fad diet or anything like that....a whole life style make over!!!

Good luck! You can do it! I need to only weight once a week or two weeks. I use the wii fit and i think it hurts my self confidence when it wants you to weight every day and suddenly i gain 2 pounds.
