Me at the beginning of my journey...273 pounds solid....haha!!! This is back in May 2010.

This is me after an intense Zumba workout, a month later.....about 10 pounds lighter....don;t look at the "bye bye" hands....

Granola cereal...

I weighed myself this morning and my weight was 246 lbs....not bad....for someone who had begun her journey at 273 pounds....I really need to motivate myself and exercise religiously, this is what I had done to lose the initial weight I had been lugging around.  I am not sure at this point what to do to get motivated one thing I know is I am going to keep eating healthy at least  get that part covered.


Breakfast:
There is nothing as heavenly as a bowl of granola in the morning, there I was sitting, enjoying my granola savoring every mouthful when my eyes fell to the calorie section on the box... five hundred and ninety eight....FIVE HUNDRED AND NINETY EIGHT!!!!!!! Yikes!!!!   Needless to say each guilt ridden spoonful did not taste as wonderful as it had been before.


Lunch: 
Since I had overindulged for breakfast and I only have about 1000 calories remaining to chomp on...I had a Swedish Meatballs Smartones and it was actually pretty good, with a little bit of Tabasco....yum....at least yum enough for diet food.


We'll see what to do tonight and I will let you know how dinner will go....see you omorrow!

I really wanted to exercise but...

I woke up and really had all the intentions of getting on the elliptical machine that is right by my bed, I had even gone to the extent of putting my exercise gear on it last night but each time the alarm rang...I kept on snoozing and as usual had to rush out of bed get my son up and rush through the morning in order to get him to school on time.  Wow..c'est la vie...that's life...I promise for the sake of my cottage cheese thighs and new resolutions, I will do something tomorrow even though for just 5 minutes, baby steps....That's what I say....Go Girlfriend!

New beginnings...

I have been overweight since I became a mother. It seems that my hormones were shot and I gained weight just by looking at food. I would like you to follow me through my weightloss journey.  I have tried so many diets, Nutrisystem, Weightwatchers, LA Weightloss, you name it I have tried.  Finally I gave up and let myself go till I stepped on a scale and found out that I had become a whopping 273 pounds.  Standing at 5'7", I didn't have enough height to spread all this weight and I HATED the way I looked and especially the way I felt. Then a close friend advised me to start my own weightloss blog and track my progress.  I am determined to make this work, join me on my journey and lets share and encourage one another, because I know that together we can lose weight and regain our sexy selves back.
