Ok...So I am 21 and live in the Twin Cities. For years I have struggled with my weight. I have always just excepted it. Although, recent family events have turned my feelings towards my weight. Both sides of my family have histories of heart disease, cancer, high blood preasure, and diabetes. Not only am I concerned but my family is as well.
I was told that journaling about my emotions, thoughts, and weekly activities will help me get through the roughest of times. So why not. The date to start is February 1, 2010. My goal is to lose 100 lbs in 1 year. That comes to 1.9 lbs per week. I believe that it is a healthy rate to lose at. I will weigh in once per week. I will then post on the blog my thoughts and concerns. This is a very large hurdle but I know with the help of the online community, friends, and family it is possible. Please, please, please if anyone has suggestions or concerns on the pace as being unhealthy please leave a comment. Thanks for reading and wish me luck.
The posts will get longer. This is sort of an introduction. Please excuse me poor blogging abilities. This is my first time ever blogging. Thanks all.
I'm really excited for you. I've been going strong for more than 100 days now. I've really started changing my life which is the best part about it. I feel better in the morning because of the decisions that I am making throughout the day. It is an amazing feeling. I can't wait to watch you!! Having the support of people from this place is incredible. It really keeps you going at times.
