The Journey Begins

I don't know how many times I've said it,
"I need to lose weight!".
I've also lost track of how many times I've said,
"I'm going on a diet!".
Well, add this to the list,
"I need to lose weight and
I'm going on a diet!".


I'm SO SICK of seeing pictures like this one!
I'll be 38 next month, I'm 198 pounds and I need to make a change! Instead of hiding from the camera, I've decided to use it to help keep me accountable to my weight loss journey. Even if no one else sees it, I'm going to journal my efforts here and hopefully see results.

My first two weeks, I'm going to work on changing my eatting habbits. I'll be following the Weight Watchers program. Week Three I will incorporate some exercise. I will "weigh-in" once a week and post a picture.

Well, here we go kids! Wish me luck!
Hope I'm a BIG loser!!

xoxo,
Julie

  6. I'm 39 and right there with you weight-wise. It's starting to affect my health & my attitude. Just today, I decided to do it. I don't want to be fat & forty. I've got till November to do it. A few years ago, I lost 30 pounds on WW Online. I'll recommit with you too. Have you ever see the Our Lady of Weight Loss website and/or books? They are great fun!
