My husband is a huge Cavs (and Lebron) fan and he told me about it. I started a healthy diet and exercise plan faithfully a little over a month ago. I bought a scale, started keeping a food and exercise diary, and I have my husband measure me once a week. Every morning, I step on the scale to see my progress. It is exciting to see the pounds just drop off! To lose the weight, I work out everyday - sometimes just walking my dog for a mile or two, sometimes working out to Fit TV, and sometimes walking 2-3 miles to go to the library or the local video store - it saves gas and it gives me GREAT exercise! I try to eat at least 4 servings of fruits and vegetables a day and I strive for upwards of 25 grams of fiber a day as well. In just a little over a month, I have lost 17 pounds and a pant size. I wish I would have done this a long time ago.
I don't eat past 7:00 p.m., and if I do, I eat a serving of fruit or a sugar-free chocolate pudding. My weight loss goal is to lose 100 pounds total - to weigh 140. I keep a spreadsheet that tracks my inches lost, I keep a food diary into which I write EVERYTHING that I eat as well as my weight that day, and I also write my weight on a calendar everyday so that I can see my progress more clearly. I was motivated to join the challenge and to start losing weight because I was tired of not being able to shop at the cute, trendy stores because they don't carry a size 18W. My goal is to be a single digit clothing size, whether it is an 8 or a 2, whichever is my healthy size. I know I can do it!!!
