****Why am I gaining??****

Okay so I took note and made some changes from the last time I blogged.  I am now eating only 2300 calories a day.  Mostly whole grain foods, dairy, and some meats, all good foods.

I work out everyday since the 1st of the year for about 1 hour each time using both cardio and weights.  Yet I can’t seem to lose more than one or two pounds this whole month.  And this morning I actually gained 3 pounds.  I’m really not happy about this.

This weekend I did really great too.  I only had one desert on sunday night and skipped saturday desert.  On saturday I counted my calories at 2200 and sunday 2100, what is going on, I’m doing everything just right, right?

Help and motivation needed!

My 20th time at the gym so far this new year….

So far so good.  I’ve managed to hit the gym 20 times so far this new year and still going strong.

I did my second weigh in this morning and I’m very happy.  I lost 2 pounds since Jan. 1st. 
Although i was hoping to lose more since I workout alot.  I have lowered my calorie intake to 2400 calories a day.  I might need to hit the gym a little more often.   I have replaced all my diet soda with juice and cookies with muffins instead.  This was my goal for this week.  So far so good.

Hope you all stay positive and have a great weekend.

Hello, New here!

I’ve been reading blogs for a few days now and I’m ready to start my own. 

I’m fat and ready to make a change.  So far this year I went to the gym 10 times.  That is ten times from Jan. 1st!  I’m happy about that.  I don’t know if i lost weight yet since I’m only weighing in once a month.

I would love supportive buddies.  Only positive ones please, I will return the favor!

Happy Friday.

Is it really healthy or smart to lose weight for $$$, I ask what would you do???

I read a blog by someone here saying that they are in a contest with a family member to lose weight for a HUGE jackpot of $1,000. 

I guess I’m wondering if this is really a smart thing to do.  I feel not.  She is doing it for the wrong reasons.  She need to do it for herself and her life.   Not to mention that the “jackpot” is coming from her father.  Now that I would never execpt!!  My parents are too important to me to accept money from them, they need to worry about retirement not my fat butt!  I wonder if she thinks about her father’s financial responsiblities?  I think not, otherwise she wouldn’t be so excited to participate in this contest.

Just my thoughts.
