What's Your Weight?

170 lbs.

I have been on a mission for the past two years to better my life in every aspect.  Sometimes two steps forward really does mean ten steps back, and sometimes it means two steps forward.  This life alteration has been incredibly difficult.  What I have discovered through this journey is I am a strong woman.  I recently quit smoking after 18 years.  I have been smoke free for almost 11 weeks.  One of my goals has been to lose weight.  Since J was born I kept gaining and now I am 30 lbs overweight. My goal is to lose 48lbs.  The reason I am putting this info out there is because I am going to do something about it.  As many of you know  I have been making huge changes to benefit J and myself.  I want to be a healthier and happier mom for my child.  He needs me.  Okay okay, back to why I am putting it out there.  I am embarrassed by my weight.  If I tell people how much I weigh I will have that extra push to lose it.  I also want to inspire people to take the journey with me.  Let's help each other with tips.  Like:  recipes, hair,  make up ,exercises, weight loss goals, what keeps you motivated, etc.  Here is my challenge.  If you want to participate to better your life post  a comment.  Why do you want to lose weight?

My first piece of advice is to wear make up

You feel better about yourself when you look good.  It will help keep you motivated to keep going.

Another thing do not weigh yourself everyday,  Your weight does fluctuate,  You may get discouraged.  Weigh yourself once a week or less.

I hope you are up for the challenge with me!
