    It's October 1st...and we're off....

    Got on the scale this morning and this body was 195 pounds (BOOM!!!). So yeah I lost another pound and only have 14 more to go. :)

    What do I want to change? I would like to fit into a size 14 pants by the time I hit 181 pounds. Not sure but I think that's possible...I guess I'll find out. I'm 5'5" tall. I haven't been that weight in 15 years so I can't remember what sizes I wore at which weights.

    If you haven't yet, tell us WHY you are here and what you hope to accomplish more than losing the weight. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO CHANGE?

    Do not underestimate the effect these CHANGES will and do have on your whole person. I believe most of our battles with weight loss is in our minds. And the changing of our mindset is key to our successes. Think about the way you talk about yourself! Have your words been uplifting or downgrading? Whether you have 5, 50, or 150 lbs to lose, begin speaking positive words over yourself! When THINK positive and move forward in this process we will BE positive and begin to see significant changes happen from the inside out!

    I want to change my overall health. I'd love to go up stairs without getting winded.

    I want to change my wardrobe. For years I've told my boyfriend that I don't like this dress, or that pair of pants, or that shirt not because I actually dislike the clothes, but because they didn't look good on me. I want to wear a swimsuit without wanting to cover my stomach and thighs.

    I want to change my mindset. I want to know that if I don't have the piece of cake today, that doesn't mean I will never have cake again! I can wait to eat all my favorite foods, switching between foods, and eating in moderation.

    I want to change my attitude towards losing weight. It's not a bad thing, and I don't have to settle for being overweight!

    Well I didn't get any exercise in today, but I ate great!! My challenge will be to stay in my calorie goal, I do tend to go over.

    Actually my fitbit charge HR is awarding me extra calories from when I'm driving. My heart rate is up during these times but I don't really feel that I should be getting anything extra from it...will have to fix that.

    Today I said "no, thanks!" when a very sweet coworker offered me a slice of german chocolate cake in the break room! I lied and said I was full from breakfast....better than lying to myself by pretending I'm hungry, when I really just want to taste a delicious slab of cake! >:)
