In the begining.

So this summer I took on a huge challenge, to lose some weight. From July 1st to the end of August I lost and amazing 20 lbs. Slowly over the month of September I began to gain some weight back, but only about 8 pounds. So here I start again with the weight loss Journey.

So as a new month starts, I once again start my weight loss journey, with the hope of being successful this time around. In a effort to support this goal I have purchased a NordicTrack elliptical from Costco, and even though I have to convince myself daily to get on the elliptical, it has well been worth the investment. I get all sweaty and feel great after my workouts. I am also measuring, weighing and tracking my calories through www.bodybugg.com and have been using the program online to calculate the number of calories I burn throughout the day as well as the total number of calories I consume. This allows me to have measurable results each day and also holds me accountable for what I choose to each and how active I am throughout the day.

My starting weight on July 1st, 2009 was 273lbs (wholy cow, literally) then I gained a couple back and started over again in October.
My starting weight on October 1st, 2009 was 258lbs (yikes)
My short term goal is to lose 25 lbs by December 24th, 2009
My long term goal is to lose 90 lbs by next spring hopefully May 2010, so that I can have a baby and get fat all over again.

Wish me luck, for I will surely need it, along with any will power you are willing to donate to me.

Thank you all for your support on this difficult journey.
