Introduction

I have been on numerous diets trying to shed the pounds and have succeeded a couple of times just to have the weight come back on. I just had my sweet little boy Kyson almost a year ago and have decided that I truly want to be healthy for him, my husband and all of my future children! I also want to lose weight for myself. I miss how good I felt when I was at a good weight and hate how I feel now. I am losing weight along with my husband Brock and were doing it together! We are eating healthier and exercising. My doctor once told me that the best way to lose weight is to eat half of what I would normally eat. He said never to eliminate foods from your diet, but to eat smaller portions. That is what Brock and I are doing. We are watching what we are eating and watching are portions. Along with exercise I feel that Brock and I will succeed in our goals. My ultimate goal is to weigh 150 a year from now. I feel though that rather then focusing on that goal, I need to make little goals which is what I will do. As of right now I weigh 216, my first goal is to weigh 206. I hope to accomplish this goal by July 15. I feel that by accomplishing the small goals and enjoying the small successes, I will eventually make it to my ultimate goal. So, here we go!!
