I have been putting off losing the weight I've gained since I moved to FL for years. And this year I am turning 21 and I want to look the best I can. I am really looking forward to going out and having fun! It is January. My birthday is May 2nd. I would love to lose aprox 30 lbs before my birthday, that would be awesome. Currently I weigh 210lbs so losing 30lbs would bring me to 280.
Ugh I didn't know it would be so hard saying how much I weigh out loud... I guess thats a sure sign that I'm not happy with my body. When I actually typed out how much I weigh, I think my stomach jumped into my throat...=/.
I started working out 2 days ago now? I think. Its really hard to stay motivated. In my household I am currently the only one working to lose weight. There are 5 people in my house including myself. My family is not a fan of eating healthy, just because of how expensive it is. Something we have done is we use turkey meat instead of ground beef. We use the turkey meat for everything you would normally eat ground beef with. Meatloaf, Spaghetti, Burgers. Other than that, We don't keep very many healthy foods in the house.
I think its hard because I don't have anyone to support me. I'm afraid of the scale at the moment. I would love to see like 5lbs gone by next week, but I know that would be difficult. I will def keep my fingers crossed though.
Oh I just thought... I'd love to lose the weight by APRIL because I have some people coming down from WI. Its my 1/2 brothers mom Eileene her husband and her kids. I have never met them EVER in my life, and I'm so excited and nervous. I want to look good!! They're coming down to go to Disney, and we're going up there to meet and spend time with them, and get to know them.
I guess my weight loss journey will be the topic of some of my blogs and also including more about my life and everyday stuff.

Got to run!! TTFN<3
As a woman whose weight has yo-yoed her whole life, I can tell you the things that have helped me the most are controlling my portion size and getting off my ass. Also, my battles with food are lost or won at the grocery store. If I buy it, I'm gonna eat it. So I don't buy any junk food...most of the time.
