My Motivation

Losing weight is never easy. I am so lucky to have a wonderful family and friends who have offered their support over the past couple of weeks. I know they will continue to support me throughout this long process. A week ago my daughter decided to join my on this journey and I could not be more proud of her!

We have decided that our big reward to ourselves for meeting our goal will be a trip for just us. We have a long time to figure it out, but right now we are considering going to the Grand Canyon, Florida, or Washington DC.


She and I are both using the LoseIt app because it allows us to track our calories as well as our workouts. We have both set very realistic goals that we hope to achieve by the end of June. We have talked about how this is all about permanent changes in lifestyle and making healthy choices most of the time. We are not dieting. We have both eating and exercising like we plan on doing for the rest of our lives. We are both on the right track as well. I have lost over 9 pounds over the last 15 days and my daughter has lost 2 pounds this last week.
