Today's the day....

I've finally worked up the motivation. I stepped on the scale and wanted to throw up.

I'm starting the 30 Day Shred tonight. Please wish me luck. I'm gonna need it. I would like to lose at LEAST 50lbs... but 70-80lbs would be better. No one believes me when I tell them how much I weigh. I guess I carry my weight pretty good.

Anyways, please wish me luck!

Good luck! You can do it.

You can do this mama. If u get off track don't er discouraged and jump back on the train.

Be prepared not to lose it all in one month. 1-2 pounds a week is a good, healthy goal. Focus on inches, not weight, since muscle weighs more than fat.

Good luck.

Good luck! I'm in a similar situation. I don't tell people i know IRL how much I weigh, but I've posted pics on here before with my weight and hear the same as you do. I have the same goal weight loss, at least 50 but preferably 70.

Maybe we can do check ins with each other

That would be GREAT! I need a fitness pal. I know I won't be able to do this if I don't have some encouragement. My SO is no help. He tells me I don't need to lose any. I'm like um... yeah, you like that big saggy belly hanging down to my knees? Ok, it might not be THAT bad but you know.. lol

lol yeah. Bless my DH's heart.. he tries to be encouraging and then also tries to assure me that he still thinks I'm hot, but it just makes him sound crazy lol

My main focus right now it portion control. I've been working on it for about 2 weeks now and I'm making some progress! I've been sick for a few days, but I have a gym membership so hopefully I can get started in there soon. Its a crappy gym though lol. I hate it

Thank you ladies. I'm gonna take my measurements tonight. By this summer, I hope to have lost at LEAST 20lbs. Or at least a lot of inches off my tummy and thighs. I never wear shorts or tank tops in the summer because I feel so huge. I'm hoping this summer will be different.

lol Aw! They're sweet for saying it though. I'm like stop lying to me! Tell me I'm fat! haha

Portion control is going to be my big thing. We live with SO's parents right now while I'm trying to find work so I kinda have to eat what they bring into the house. But I am going to cut out sweets and junk food. Soda is going to be my problem. I need to stop drinking soda. I'm so addicted to Mountain Dew. That smurf is like crack to me! haha

I just put in what I've ate so far today and it seems carbs is my big problem. I'm already way over on my carbs and I haven't even had supper yet. =/

Well, I started 30 DS tonight instead of yesterday. I couldn't even make it through one of the reps. I'm sweating so much and my chest is ON FIRE. Gonna try again tomorrow. I won't give up.
