I must say..

In trying to keep positive with this weight loss gig.

I have reached my first goal!  I wanted to break 200.  And I did!  199.8  That's 43 pounds I have lost since my little cupcake was born.  I've almost reach the halfway mark of my ultimate goal.  I've been pretty steadily losing about a pound a week.  I actually haven't began a work out routine.  That is my next task.  I've never really worked out before so this is all new to me.  I know to achieve my goal, it is absolutely necessary.  So I am going to start small.  One week.  I will work out for one week.  From there, hopefully I'll be able to push myself to do another. 

I've found myfitnesspal to be very helpful in keeping track of everything.
