I've decided...
 

So I keep jumping from one diet to another. I'm getting fed up and discouraged. SO! I've decided on trying this. I'm going to make this a project of some sort hehe. I'm going to keep track of what I eat for 2 weeks. I'm going to find out what my daily average is from those two weeks. Once I get a number, I'm going to subtract an amount of calories from that. I'm going to weigh in once a week and going to keep a diary of my food & exercise and see where I can improve. I don't want to cut food from my life, I love it too much. I'm tired of being hard on myself to follow strict diets and I'm just going to go easy and steady. I'm using MyfitnessPal on my cell. I started tracking my food this morning although I forgot to weigh in this morning, I will do so tomorrow.

So yeah! I'm going to make this MY diet and MY fitness plan. :) Eventually, I'd like to help other people lose weight too so I'm going to learn what I can from all this.

I have 2 major goals to look forward to. I'm getting married in 2016 and I might be going on a resort in February 2015. Great motivation to get in shape.

Congratulations on the 10lbs lost so far...keep strong and keep going!;)

Unfortunately, that ticker is outdated :o
The last time I weighed, I was 194. But thank you! :)

That is a smart plan. We all need to figure out what works for us. I've had several attempts and have tried various things and I finally found what works for me. It's. OT what works for my husband, my mother in law or maybe you, but it's how I can maintain a long term weight loss and probably lifelong eating.

Thanks Melissa :)
I'm not sure I know what OT is?

I think that's the best plan, one tailored specifically to YOU! Good luck!
