The goal: -40lbs by December 30, 2011 then -40 lbs by December 11, 2012, 80 lbs in all.
So instead of boring you with long paragraphs...I will give you some quick facts about me, my fat, my weight loss and where I want to be!:
-This the 3rd time in my life, I've been focused on weight loss.
-I'm doing it on a budget. I can't afford trainers, weight loss programs, new expensive equipment, gym memberships...none of that. Just some good ol' research is what's going to get me through. My goal is to prove I didnt have to go even broker than I am to lose weight.
-On December 30, 2010, I weighed 239 lbs.
-My goal is 80lbs in two years, that will put me at the weight I was after I had my children.
-I weigh in on Thursdays. So stand by for the weight lost post on that day
- I bought my first scale ever own December 31, 2010.
-I'm a emotional eater. My life as whole in the last six years is how I got here.
-I'm inspired my Natural hair journey ( now 1 yr and two months).. if I can do this with my hair and can lose the weight too!
Weigh Loss Diaries Timeline:

1/20/11-230 lbs
1/27/11-228 lbs
Down 11 lbs in less than 30 days...and can't turn back now!!! No ma'am!!! LOL!!
I will try to explain what I'm doing that's helping. Its not complex. I just sat down and wrote all the things that I know are trouble foods for me....and I avoid them. lol!
I also keep a Food Journal. I write down everything last thing I eat.
I plan my meals for the day. I cook almost everything I eat, due to the fact I can't afford to eat out. *shrugs*
Working out...I hate working out. So I do the absolutely minimum....I'll share that later.
So now I will post some before kids and now pictures. I dont blame my kids on my weight gain. Matter fact, I didnt gain a pound pregnant. I lost 25lbs pregnant with the twins. I was sick and high risk. The weight came after them and it came fast.
Stay tuned for the Thursday's weight in post and anything else I can think of.:)

You can do it jamie! when you get an extra 13.77 go to walmart and get a kettlebell it's a good workout without all that jumping around!
Rooting for you sista! I'm down albs since new year putting me @ 207lbs. We can do it. Share your recipes!
You can do it! Just remember if you feel like your not loosing any weight at a certain point don't give up! I know when loosing weight at one point your body tends to reject it and thats the hardest point for people.
I wish you the best!
El_ bougie Sis- Thank you!! I see those kettlebells I might need to invest.
M- I'm proud of you!! We are in it to win it! I'm eating super basic but I will share what I can, I promise!
Nail Designs- Thanks! I've heard that point. I thought I hit last week with that one pound loss. Thank you for that inspiration. I'm going to write it down in my journal to remember it:).
Very inspiring. I admire the fact that you're doing it on your own with no fancy gym membership, trainer, or programs. You'll feel so good when you get to your goal and can say that YOU did it on your own terms!
I know what Nail Designs is talking about, I was told it's called a "plateau". You're doing fine for awhile when suddenly you can't lose weight no matter what you do or how little you eat. It was also explained to me that it's your body's survival mechanism. Your body wants to hang on to some fat 'just in case', like it's expecting there to be a famine and you'll need the calories from that fat to survive the famine. lol
When that happens you can't get discouraged, you gotta just keep on keeping on, eventually you will start to lose weight again. Just remember it's a battle between your body and your willpower, make sure your willpower wins! It can take several weeks, but keep on keeping on!
