    Thanks everyone for joining and I am SO excited to see the end results. I am going to try to eat a lot of 'filler' foods. Oatmeal is great because it fills you up and has low calories. (and its good for you) I usually go over on sugar everyday so I am going to try to eat less sugars too :)

    I tried Greek yogurt for the first time this morning. Not too bad with the flavor. The protein will help since I don't eat read meat. We don't have any BBQs or anything this weekend, but I bought salmon burgers and sandwich thins for when my hubby and kids want to grill brats.

    I am going to do fitness and eating tips once in a while so here is the first one :)

    Fitness Tip #1: Find a pool! No matter indoor or out, you can always tread water with or w/out a noodle. Walk back in forth in the water. Do leg lifts against the wall or even swim a couple of laps! At a lot of gyms with pools they have water aerobic classes. My grandma, who used to be over 300 pounds joined a water aerobic class twice a week and lost a TON of weight! Cant wait for the next weigh in!

    Eating Tip #1: If you are eating at a buffet place or a home cooked meal dont take as much as you think you need. Take less and get up if you need more. If you have a lot of food on your plate you tend to eat it all when you dont really need that much food. LETS DO THIS! TIME TO SHED THE POUNDS! :)

    Fitness Tip #2: Bike! If you are a member to a gym or have a stationary bike, or even a normal one, ride it! I have a stationary bike and I ride it and it has helped me build muscle and burn the fat. The best part about it is you can burn a lot of calories in just a little bit of time. Yesterday, when I road the bike I did 5 miles in about 13-20 minutes and burned over 200 calories. I would definitely try it out :) Btw.... I cant wait to see the results of the weigh in tomorrow!!!!!! :)

    Fitness Tip #3:
    Yoga! Yoga is an awesome excersice to do. It builds strength, flexibility, balance, and self awareness. One of the best things about yoga is you can find it anywhere. I am not a member to a gym since I have a lot of gym stuff in my house but I download apps onto my iPhone for yoga. The ones I currently have are Authentic Yoga, Yoga Stretch, and Yoga Trainer. I also know that Lifetime fitness has a variety of yoga classes if you are a member there. LETS SHED EM'
