Hey Everyone-
I have been lurking this board since the summer time and finally decided to jump in. I have always been a big girl - just not this big!
I was diagnosed with Hypothyroid this past sping. I was seeing my doctor and he was telling me that now my thyroid would have nothing to do with my trying to loose weight...everything I was doing to loose weight was going to start working now...next time he saw me I would have lost so much weight. I didn't have the nerve to tell him I wasn't doing anything to loose weight. I was just this fat. He really did give me a great little pep talk though and I am greatfull to him. For one time in my life I am not going on a diet. I am learning to do things that I have made part of my life.
I started this journey on the day school started - July 28, 2007. I looked around and found a personal trainer that I see on Mon, Wed, Fri. He really keeps me motivated. It is great knowing he is at the gym waiting for me - that way I have to go. I plan on continuing to see him through March. 2 weeks ago I met with a dietician. She set me up on a program that I can actually do. She is teaching me to do excahnges so that I am sure to get all the food groups I need. She told me to quit over thinking this... i really needed that. She reminded me that if I constantly make myself do without I would not be able to do this forever. Now I make better choices and fit what ever I want into my food plan.
Whelp, that is all about me. I hope keeping this journal will help me track everything I am going through.
How much weight do you want to lose? 103 pounds is my first goal.
What is the timeframe for reaching your target weight? By July 4th 2008
How do you want to accomplish your goal (what methods do you want to use)? I am going to work out at least 3 times a week and stick to my meal plan
Who or what can support you in reaching your goal? Input form others is great! I am not a good cook so I am always looking for ideas others use.
How realistic is your goal? it is almost a years time.
When will you start? Already Did!!!!!

I hurt my knee at the gym. I went out with a friend for her birtday and ate pizza...needless to say my day was crap. I know the whole you did not gain it in a month so you can't take it off in a month. But to gain 3 pounds! As my pawpaw would say.. that is just plain horse shit!
