i AM a loser!!!

That is a confession by the way. In this post the word 'loser' refers to losing weight. I have been stuck around 145 forever it seems but lately, I've put on a couple of pounds and I VOW to NEVER have to change the scale over to the 150 again (on old-timey scales like we have at the gym and dr. office)which means I better take control QUICK! I'm probably only a pound or two away from 150 right now so it's back on the losing track for me. I figure I've got another couple of months before I have to start wearing jeans so that gives me just enough time to lose 15 pounds so they'll fit nicely. 2 months=8 weeks so @ 2 lbs./week = 16 pounds!!! Who wants to do it with me? Just think by October 20th, you could be SIXTEEN pounds lighter! It will be so much easier if I can get a group of my friends to do this with me and we can all encourage each other and hold one another accountable!! Each night, I will try to post my calorie count for the day and my exercise log so you can see what I am doing. There is no doubt I can do this and I have no doubt that you can too. It's just two months worth of dedication and will be WAYYYYYY worth it! So come on! Leave me a comment if you're gonna join me, okay!? I am getting excited already just thinking about it.
By the way, here is my plan: I am going to limit myself to no more than 1200 calories/day and exercise at least some every day. My goal is to walk on my treadmill, mow the yard or go to aerobics every day (one of the 3). I will also start doing 30 push ups/day, 100 crunches on my exercise ball/day and a few other stationary exercises. I will also up my water intake as much as possible although I am NOT a big drinker but it really helps to fill me up. If nothing else, I will try to make myself drink a whole glass of water before each meal to take up some room. I will not weigh myself more than once a week (even though it's tempting to do it every day--its depressing when you don't see the numbers go down right away---and they won't. But, after a week, you should see something.)
So, that's it. I hope you'll join me and be 15 pounds lighter in 2 months. What have you got to lose?
