20 LBS TO GO!!!

Today I am going to practice what I preach and make an investment in myself.
---
Today I begin my goal to lose 20 lbs! I don't know how long it will take me but I hope to have it accomplished in 10-12 weeks. That averages out to about 1.5-2 lbs per week, which is healthy.
---
I am posting this for accountability, and because I think that this will be a great way to log my progress.
---
My plan is plain and simple: To put in less calories than I burn in a day.
---
Doctors agree that no matter what plan, personal trainer, book, or DVD you follow, this is the underlying goal of all of them. Some ways are healthier than others and that is why I have chosen to follow the Weight Watchers model. I have been on the WW program before and lost weight. I found that it was a great program that was easy to follow. I will be attending meetings in the near future but to start I will begin using some of my material from before.
---
Every Monday I will post my progress beginning with how many pounds I have left.
---
If there is anyone out there that would like to do this with me, let me know.
We can link to each other's posts and be a great support system for one another!
---
Here's to a healthier me!
Wish me luck!!
