How bout some introductions?
I am Susan and am 31 years old wife to Brad(5/2002) and mother to Jonathan(3/2004). I like to read, scrapbook,sew and shop. I work as a Driver Supervisor for a trucking company. Obviously I like to eat otherwise I wouldn't be starting a Blog to track my weight loss journey.
My starting weight is:
*gulp* 308 lbs.
There it is in black and white. Its awful.
1st weigh in photo 9/23/2010
Goal weight is: 165 lbs. So I have over 140lbs. to lose or so.
I am an avid fan of the t.v. show " The Biggest Loser". Tuesday night when this season premiered, I sat there and everyone did their "starting weight" weigh in and I was like "Holy smokes! I weigh more than some of these people". Some by a good 60 or so lbs. Its time. I have made so many excuses and tried Weight Watchers twice in the past with moderate success. This time I am trying an App on my i-Touch that counts calories. Its called "Nutrition Menu". I'm not all that keen on seeing the calories as a whole as it can be a little daunting. With WW I had a certain amount of points each day. When eating it was like "'Oh this is ONLY 6 points" well when you ONLY get like 30 points a day and you just blew threw 6 in one item its kind of disappointing. Plus you got the extra 35 points a week so you could splurge. It worked for a while but it got old. I never really did exercise much either of those 2 times I tried it. I am hoping to incorporate exercise in with watching what I eat. You only get so far just eating right.
Well I rambled on more than I intended to do. I would like who ever is out there reading this to keep me encouraged and motivated. If you have your own journey you are on or success story or even helpful hints. I would like very much for you share them with me. No one can do this alone.
Please check back to see how I am doing. I think I will make my official weigh in day be Thursdays.
Susan
