Well, I have decided to start MyDiary in hopes of staying motivated to lose weight. I am 32 and currently at 161 lbs. I am striving for a goal weight of 135 lbs. I have been at my current weight (give or take a few pounds) for 2 years now .. since my daughter's birth. I just hadn't been able to get myself in the right mindset for losing weight and kept finding excuses .. 'too tired', 'not enough time'.
Well, a few months ago I read the Abs Diet book and began to follow it for several weeks. I really felt good on the Abs Diet .. I was losing inches .. eating several times a day (which rev'd up my metabolism) and was exercising quite regularly. I did really well for about 6 weeks .. then I went on a mini vacation. Since then, it seemed to be one thing after another and I let myself slip back to where I was when I started. The holidays came .. but really, I know there's no excuse .. I did great for 6 weeks .. I could have survived the holidays, but kept telling myself 'tomorrow I'll get back on track' .. but I didn't ever seem to get to 'tomorrow'.
So, I told myself that I would definitely strive to lose weight in 2010, and keep it off! I've been keeping a food/exercise journal since Sunday and so far, so good. I'm on Day 4. For the last three days, I've tracked my food .. and exercised each day. I am definitely proud of myself .. taking small steps .. but at least they're steps in the right direction. I'm defintely motivated .. I hope keeping this diary will help.

I think I'm going to set myself a weight loss goal of -2 lbs by next week.
