I joined a group on Facebook to help me lose weight. It's a group of my friends and other people that each of them know, and we're doing a biggest loser competition. We're going to have challenges and exercises each week, and I'm pretty excited about it. Hopefully that can help me in the weight loss area as well as keep me accountable and excited about it. However, I've been going a month strong so I think I'm on the right track.

Daily Thoughts:

I've almost been doing this for a month! I'm at 147 this morning on the scale, but I'm trying not to get too caught up in it. That's still 5lbs, besides--my pants are fitting a little better. I wear my little belt thing when I workout now, and I can really tell that it's trimming my waistline. My pants feel a little more comfortable today and that's what it's all about. Regardless of a number, it's about feeling good.

Daily Thoughts:
I weighed in at 145 last night. I'm sure it won't last, but still! Also, I read an article about sodas that scared me to death and made me not want to drink many. Yesterday I only had two diet cokes (which says a lot for how I normally am!). Hopefully I can curb my drinking habits. I have 2 more 12 packs at home of Diet Coke, and after that, I hope to quit.
