Fat Secret

Kayleen told me about the site Fat Secret.  I just joined now....I'm going to try to figure it out...
Looks like another tool to track and stay motivated :) Thanks!

The first step is the hardest.....

Hi girls! I started this blog so that we can all keep track of ourselves and motivate each other on our 900000th journey of losing weight :)  I was thinking we could post links to good WW sites, recipe, fitness tips, questions... and anytime that we just need to complain or some help with motivation this can be a tool.  We will also be weighing in through here as well.   I know that some people will not want to put your weight and that is fine, you can just put if it was a loss/gain or stayed the same each week.  

I want to start weighing in on Mondays b/c that will hold me more accountable on the weekends (which is where I have zero self control).  

This morning I weighed 163.2
Long term goal: lose 20 pounds
Short term goal: lose 10 by Thanksgiving
This week's goal: To count and measure along with exercising at least 3 days for 30 mins each
