Hello everyone! Today is my very first entry. My starting weight was 161lbs last week. Today I am 159.2lbs (2lbs woo hoo). I have been battling with my weight for my entire life. I have never been able to commit to a very healthy lifestyle consistently, but I have decided that there is no better time than today. I have set a goal to lose 10 lbs by May 22nd 2015. I hope that I will have everyone's support during this journey. Thank you!

Way to go!!! When I first started I had no idea that I really had the power to make the scale move in the opposite direction... I thought it was something only other people could do. Every step in the right direction is a major accomplishment, and I suggest looking up how much a pound of fat really is!!! Cause it's a lot more than I thought and makes me feel super pumped even when I "only" loose one pound at a time.

that is great!! what is your plan, or what are you doing differently than your usual lifestyle? I am eating better (less processed foods) eating less (counting calories) and upping my workouts. It helps so much to come to 3FC and read what others say and add your thoughts. Best wishes!

Thanks for the positive comments. I am pretty active and have a sensible diet already. My problem is being consistent in my everyday life. I have stopped eating extra junk food (chocolate, pizza etc) and am working out more regularly. I just need that constant motivation or to be answerable to someone other than myself to keep me focused. I hope that this will help me with that.
