I need to lose weight.
There. I did it. That wasn't that bad, actually.
I've decided that I'm going to post my progress on here. The last time I was really successful in a weight-loss effort was when we were having a biggest loser contest at school. It wasn't the competition that motivated me - it was the accountability, so I'm hoping that by posting my weigh in results here that it will provide that same accountability this time. (BTW, I totally won that contest. And then gained most of the weight back. Hence the need to lose now. I want to fit back into those new clothes I bought after the contest!)
I'm going to start with a mini goal. One month from today I am attending a friend's wedding, and I need to buy a new dress anyway. Why not make it one size smaller??? I would like to lose 8 pounds this month. That's 2 pounds a week. Totally safe and do-able.
I'm going to achieve this by counting my calories here and rejoining Jillian with a little bit of the Shred.
Wish me luck! Hopefully I'll have good news to report next week!
I've been doing Jillian and I can definitely tell a difference. I'm taking this week off and sticking to the elliptical machine and pilates so my routine doesn't get stale. If you have an iPhone, you should get this free app called Lose It!. You enter your weight, your goal weight and how many pounds you want to lose per week and it make counting calories so simple. I cancelled my Weight Watchers account bc this is so much easier (for me anyway). Good luck!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck with the weight loss...feel free to link up with me on Mondays too! Doesn't matter what day you choose to post, just hoping to get a few people together to support each other regardless of what programs they are using!
