I have been trying to lose weight since January and not having any luck.  I’m so unmotivated and I LOVE to eat…especially snacks.  Chocolate and ice-cream are my two biggest weaknesses.  I just have no will power.  So this week, I decided enough is enough and I must get on the ball!  I injured my knee in high school during a rugby match (the day before prom would you believe!) and it has been really bothering me.  I’m hoping if i can lose 20lbs, it may help.  It doesn’t sound like much, but it would make me extremely happy.  So I am going to plot my progress over the next two months.  Hopefully it will help me be more accountable.  This week I have made the following changes:

  • no snacking after 7:30 pm
  • drink more water throughout the day
  • eating between 1500-1700 calories per day

I am hoping to lose 2lbs per week which I think is reasonable.  My current weight is 165lbs and I would like to be 145lbs by the end of October.  By setting deadlines, I’m hoping it will help me accomplish my goal.  WISH ME LUCK!!!

P.S.   if anyone can find a site that lists calories of various foods, please send me the link…thanks!

Good luck Kelly! Here’s site that looks pretty cool for calorie counting http://www.thecaloriecounter.com/

I’d like to start a challenge myself too. I’ve not been very active lately and need to get my butt in gear. Just because someone is thin, does not mean they are fit! I fall into this category sadly!
