So I decided I need to go public about this weight loss thing. I hate looking stupid or like a failure so figure if I put this out here (to all 3 of you) then it will help. Nothing like a little public humiliation as some motivation. YES, I am fully aware that I'm not obese, but I honestly have such an issue with exercising and eating right. I blame the fact that most of my life I have been able to eat whatever I want and it not affect me. I have a terrible sweet tooth that you would think would have rotted out of my head by now! So, even though I haven't always struggled with my weight this is a struggle for me. I have learned that each person has their ideal body image and that there is no comparing or saying "oh you are fine" if that person is bothered by it then they need to do something.
As of Jan 8th I weighed 152lbs (down 4 lbs from the beginning of December) I have decided to only weigh once a month (I like to see BIG results) and my goal is to just be down from 152lbs. AND I have to post it on here. If I am not down from that number then I should post my lovely BEFORE shot I took back in August! SCARY!!!
Anyone else in with me???

I meet with a dietitian who also is a diabetes educator once a month (and I have been since February 2008). I weigh-in there and then we talk for a few minutes about food and exercise. Anyway, my goal is like yours, just to be down. I have a love a food working against me, plus a side effect of insulin is weight gain. I've made some progress and I definitely eat better overall, but I wish I could drop 10-15 more pounds. I think I'm down about 9 pounds in the past 11 months. Not great, but not terrible.
Anyway ... all of this to say, weighing yourself once a month seems like a good strategy to me because it keeps you accountable without making you obsessive.
OK, that's a long comment ... sorry! :)
We can do this!!!!!
