Weight Loss Journey Entry - Beginning Week 2

For the past week and a half, I used www.thedailyplate.com, I've been tracking everything I eat, everything down to even a little candy that I pick up, and I stick to the amount of calories I'm allowed for each day. I've cut back on how much I eat to fit within the calories. Since doing this I have lost eight pounds in a week and a half. Technically, I'm only supposed to be losing 2 pounds a week but I have managed to lose 3 the first half of a week and then another 5 lbs over the next week.

The only thing I am doing is sticking to the serving size on what I'm eating. Plus walking every day for 30 mins or at least trying. If I can not manage a full 30 mins one day I don't beat myself up over it I just try harder the next day.

Each time I update that website with my weight it cuts my calories back more so I guess its is its own way of helping you stick to your goal of losing 2 lbs per week. I am really finding it easy to stick to. And am not feeling like I'm cheating myself out of what I like I jsut cut back on the quantity. One the other hand everytime I update it withe an activity I did it gives me calories back LOL. tonight I washed the car and it took me like an hour and half to do that and I worked hard on the car it took 754 calories off for me now how cool is that LOL.

I am making a weightloss goal.

I found this site called www.thedailyplate.com and I'm going to start tracking everything I eat. But my goal is to lose 50 lbs before my trip to New York to visit some family this summer. Which I'm going June 21st, so my goal is to drop the 1st 50 lbs of weight I need to lose by June 21st. After that I need to work on another 50 lbs LOL but for now I need to lose this first 50 to get back to who I was after I had my son who is going to be 5 in July.

SO help encourage me, if your part of a group invite me :)
