My fitness pal...

As you can see above, I have a weight loss ticker. It shows that I have a goal of losing 41 lbs...Do I need to lose more than 41 lbs?? Yes, without a doubt, but I'm setting smaller goals in order to not overwhelm myself. I have a habit of doing that!

Ok, so if you haven't heard of myfitnesspal.com, then you should definitely check it out! It is FREE and keeps track of your day to day food intake, exercise, water consumption, etc. It is super cool and did I mention, FREE?? A friend at work told me about it...I've played around with it a little, but now I'm serious about it. When it's cold outside and you have no option other than wearing summer clothes, there's a problem! I am frustrated beyond all belief...And I refuse to go out and buy larger clothes. I know who's in control of my weight...me! It's time to change things. While using my fitness pal to track my progress, I'm also going to start a running program that has proven to be extremely successful for several friends. I am not a runner by any means...if I even attempt to run, I think I'm going to die from lack of oxygen!! Hopefully I will be able to start the program and accomplish my goals before long :o)

Right now I'm fighting a cold...hopefully I'll feel 100% better soon! In the days and weeks to come, I will do posts telling you about my progress so that I can be held accountable to not only myself, but you guys as well!! Wish me luck...I need all the motivation and support I can get :o)

This is great Amanda! Please let me know if I can be any help! Encouragement means so much when you are working on a long road goal. I am really excited to hear about you running! Maybe we can do a race together one day! That would be fun!

Good luck. You can do it! Remember to just keep on keeping on. There will be days that are a lot harder than others, but if you keep going I promise you will see success.
