Hey everybody! I just recently joined this website.. May 6th, 2009. I am hoping to record my calorie intake daily.. and hopefully.. lose some weight.. or atleast keep it under the 2000 limit that I have been given. Hoping to lose 100lbs. However, small steps are great.. working on the 1st 20lbs right now. :) Encourgement?, ya.. it helps!! :)

update: June 13th, 2009 - I have lost 25lbs so far. :) My next personal goal will be reached in another 15lbs. wow... im really excited!

update: June 27th, 2009 - I have lost 33.5lbs so far. :) I am really excited! I have only another 6.5lbs to lose until I reach my next personal mini goal.. which also will mark a 40lbs weight loss for me. :) Woo Hoo!

update: July 8th, 2009 - I have not been on the scale in a few days, but on the 4th of July the scale announced that I now have 40lbs lost! Which makes me quite excited! I will be doing another weigh in later this week, and then will not be doing anymore weigh ins until Thursday night, July 16th. While I am very happy with my success so far, I still have a long way to go. The next goal is 50lbs... only 10 more lbs to go. Let you know when I get there... :)

update: July 30th, 2009 - As of July 23rd, I had lost 52lbs. I am very excited. I haven't seemed to lose any weight however in a full week since this. Going to shake it up a bit. Besides all of my walking, I am now going to be doing my Tae Bo 8 Minute workout, daily. Hopefully this helps! My next goal is to loss 60lbs... 8 more lbs to go! Hoping to get there soon. ;)

update: August 30th, 2009 - As of today, I have lost 62lbs. I am really proud of myself. I have been on vacation for the last 2 weeks - still managing to lose 5lbs while on vacation. While I am very happy with all of my success, I still wish to soon meet my next personal weight loss goal. That goal will be met in another 13lbs.. causing me to have lost 75lbs.. wow, i can't wait!
