I've struggled with keeping weight off pretty much ever since after high school. That's been about 11 years. I have done the Weight Watchers program on and off for about 10 of those years, so I figure I'll still use that program. About 3 weeks ago I started getting up in the mornings to exercise using the Kinect.
Today while watching The Biggest Loser, I decided that my new goal would be 30 before 30. I've already lost 4 lbs from when I started going back to Weight Watchers, in October. (This has been too long of a period of time with barely any results, so blogging for accountability-YAY!) Well anyway I have 26.2 lbs to lose. I weighed myself yesterday and I was 140.2. Since I started this blog in the middle of this dreary day, we'll just go with yesterday's weight and I'll make Fridays my weigh-in day.
I think my biggest problem is lack of motivation and laziness. Oh & I love food. I should have more motivation since my clothes do not fit and I do not want to buy anymore. (And I have some pretty cute clothes from when I was smaller that I really want to get into.) The laziness has hopefully passed since I have been getting up in the mornings to exercise. And my love for food... well, I just need to make healthier choices and find some healthier recipes. Hopefully posting my weight to the world every week will keep me motivated! Thanks for reading.=)

I am so proud of you!!! I can't wait to join you after Hux comes I am going to lose 30 before 30 too!
Way to go Amber! Looking forward to reading your blog. We'll keep you motivated. ;-o
Thanks so much!
Gee...maybe I need to jump on the band wagon!LOL This is what America needs, to be accountable to each other and get in shape. It helps to have a buddy system in this endeavor. But you need someone that will lift you up and not bring you down. You know...like someone says, "hey, let's have a cheat day". There is no cheating when it comes to serious weight loss. There are no quick fixes either. Like they say, "It didn't take you one day to put it all on so it's going to take longer to take it off." I'll be praying for you and watching to see how it goes. When I get the courage I'll post my numbers. Since I've been in New York I've gained at least 10 lbs. and so far I've lost 2. But that's starting from last week. I'm not doing so well because if I could go walking it would drop so much faster. And Amber...I know you can do it. I love you!
Thank you so much for the encouraging words! Now I'm about to exercise! =)
You can do it! Friday is my weigh day too! I'm trying to lose 50lbs. I've lost about 14 so far. I do the whole work out twice a day thing. Do some weight training- even f its just small weights - that's the best way to continuously burn calories. But don't deprive yourself - I'm sure you want to keep the weight off so make choices you will be able to continue forever. You can do it though!
