Weight Loss Challenge!!

I decided I now need to take drastic measures!! Next week Valerie will be turning 6 months old and I am still hanging on to a TON of baby weight. I am getting to the point that "I just had a baby" is no longer an excuse for being overweight. I have noticed that the weight is coming off, but very slowly!! My problem thus far has been that I will get really motivated and eat good food and go walking everyday for like a week and then after that I give up and eat junk food and watch TV. Then I see a picture of myself and think "who is that fatty?" When I realize it's me I start to do good for another week and then get lazy and the cycle continues! I have decided to start a separate blog dedicated completely to weight loss. I will track my progress and post weight loss tips. The only way to get serious about this is to make myself accountable for my actions, and if I have to share it with the whole world it will definitely make me think twice before eating a Twinkie. I would like to open this blog up to anyone interested in weight loss or maintaining a healthy lifestyle through eating right and exercise. If you would like to join me and contribute to my blog please let me know. (You will also be contributing to the blog and tracking your progress on it). We will have the support system that we need to keep motivated and make a difference in our lives. The only thing I ask is that if you accept this challenge you will take it seriously because I mean business and we are going to loose weight together!!!

Hey Alisha, I know you don't know me, but I have just started my own weight challenge and it's working for me. My husband and I are wanting to start having kids and I wanna get down a few pounds so it's easier to get them off after. So, I'd love to tell everyone how I've done it.

You bet! I'm probably not any more knowledgable than you about blogging, but I have tons of people that look at ours so the word would get out. Just email me what you want the name of the blog to be and give me your email and others' emails that wanna contribute to the blog and we'll have a great time getting skinny for that bikini season!

For sure count me in! I have been doing P90X for almost two months, so that has helped some, but I really like the idea. Plus since our babies were born the same day a little competition might make it interesting...JUST KIDDING! I am sick of counting calories all day so I definitely want to see what other people have been doing.
