Well here it goes. I tried this yesterday and it didn't post, so I'll try it again. Just in case it doesn't work I'm going to save it.

I am here because I'm trying to lose weight.

I am 20 years old, weigh 147 pounds and I'm 5'2".

I have been trying to lose weight for the past 2 years. I started at 180, and although I've had a few fall backs I've been doing okay.

I want to get down to 115 if I can, I have a bigger bone structure.

I would like to lose it all by summer but I'm not sure if that's realistic for me or not. I've been averaging losing a pound a week since the New Year began, and if that continues I will make it by summer.

I belong to Weight Watchers. I've been there since last August. It works well for me as long as I write everything down. I also exercise a lot. I belong to a gym and I try to make it there at least 5 times a week. I love running, biking, raquetball, swimming, you name it I probably enjoy it. So, my weight loss program is kind of my own because I do a little bit of everything.

I have always had a lot of support in losing weight. Probably the biggest support I need is myself. I have a very supportive family, most of whom go to the same gym I belong to. My mom goes with me to Weight Watchers and my boyfriend is probably my biggest supporter.

My main problem with losing weight is that if I crave something I have to have it, and sometimes I have to much of it. I love chocolate, so that definitely is a challenge. I have found as long as I write everything down I do just fine.

I haven't just started, it's been ongoing for the past 2 years. But since I've joined the gym the beginning of this month it's been a really serious thing. And it's been working.

My boyfriend has his own forum that he loves so I thought I'd find one too, and so far I love it. It's hard to stay away, there's just so much to talk about.

I have Weight Watchers and Water Aerobics tonight so I will post my food/exercise portion of this journal later. Wish me luck...I'm very excited!
 
Welcome, Sarah. I'm looking forward to reading along as you lose the weight.
Kudos to you for developing a healthy habit of going to the gym and recording your intake. And wow, you've already lost quite a bit! Keep up the good work.

Today has been pretty good so far.

Breakfast :
1 1/3 cups of Kix with 1/2 cup of Skim Milk

Snack:
Oatmeal Raisin Weight Watchers Bar

Lunch:
Lean Cuisine Rigatoni
2 slices of Light Wheat Bread

I did find myself snacking on some candy but, I made it to the gym. I ran a mile and walked a mile and worked off 250 calories on the eliptical. So far, so good except for the candy, but I didn't go overboard and I did write it down.

I'll finish the rest of my day later, Let's hope it goes well :cool:
 
You have done really well,..and weight that comes off gradually is more apt to stay off...excellent job
 
The rest of the day has gone well. This afternoon I went outside, even though it was below 0, and played in the snow. Ha I sound like a little kid. I went out with my boyfriend and we made an igloo, which was a lot of work and went sledding for about 1/2 an hour. It's hard to walk up that hill over and over again. But it was fun!

Afternoon snack - apple

Dinner - Roast Beef on a Kaiser Roll

And I haven't had my night time snack yet, but it will be veggies ( carrots, yellow pepper, and light ranch dip )

Today went well...hopefully tomorrow will be the same...See you then!
 
This morning I made it to the gym for an hour session of Water Aerobics.

Breakfast - 18 Frosted Mini Wheats & 1 Banana

Snack - Dannon Lit n Fit Yogurt Vanilla

Lunch - Salad with Fat Free Rasberry Viniagrette
Lean Pockets Ultra Ham & Cheese


Doing good so far, I wish I could get out though...we're getting pounded with that snow storm. Oh well...there's always tomorrow. I'll be back later to finish off today's diary.
 
Here's the rest of today's entry:

Afternoon snack - 1 cup of grapes

Dinner - 1/2 cup of white turkey meat, no skin
1/2 cup of potatoes
1 cup of butternut squash
1 cup of carrots

Dessert - 1/12th of an Angel Food Cake with a spoonful of light cool whip

I was able to get outside today, I shoveled snow (we got about 10" so far) for around a half an hour, maybe a little longer.

I'm going to go do my abs workout now....Oh and I also drank plenty of water, around 80 ounces today.
 
Sunday:

Breakfast : 1 egg
1 Weight Watchers English Muffin
1 Slice of Fat Free American Cheese
1 medium apple

Lunch: 1 cup of Healthy Request Tomato Soup
5 Whole Wheat Ritz Crackers

Snack: 1 serving of Sugar Free Hot Cocoa


Haven't exercised yet today. I feel so lazy. I wish I could have gotten to the gym but oh well, guess I'll have to get there tomorrow. Maybe I'll do an exercise video. It's just so cold and windy out today that I feel so tired and don't want to do anything. At least it's Sunday I guess. I'll be back later for the rest of today's diary.
 
I didn't get back on last night because I was so exhausted and I knew I had to wake up early today. So I will finish off yesterdays entries and then start todays (maybe)....

Dinner - 6" Subway Club Sub on Wheat, with provolone cheese, no dressing

Snack - 3 pretzel rods

I didn't get any exercise in yesterday so I'm kinda mad at myself for that. I just couldn't seem to motivate myself to put in an exercise tape. ALright, back on track today!

Breakfast - 1/2 cup instant oatmeal with 1 T. brown sugar, 1/8 cup of raisins and a splash of milk.....And all my vitamins (haven't been taking them lately so I'm starting that today)

I'll be gone most of the day today so I won't be able to get the rest of this in until much later, if at all, but I'll be back tomorrow morning if I run out of time. Have a wonderful day everyone :D
 
Okay here we go. Gotta finish off yesterday....

Lunch - 1 cup of Tomato Parmesan Soup from Tim Hortons (not bad)
1 donut from Tim Hortons (REALLY bad)....

Snack - Carrots with Fat Free Ranch Dip

Dinner - 1/2 cup of Turkey
1/2 cup of boiled potatoes
1/2 cup of corn


Then, because of the horrible donut that made me eat it earlier in the day I made myself go to the gym for 2 hours. I jogged for 20 minutes and then did the elliptical for 20 minutes, then it was 50 minutes of water aerobics, followed by 15 minutes in the hot tub.

I was so tired after the exercise and so hungry! I had a serving of trail mix (I make it myself)....so it's very healthy. And then I came home and crashed because I was so tired. Today I'm not going to have any donuts, no matter what they say to me! I'll do today's entry later because I'll have time. See you then ...
