Holding myself accountable . . . I figured that making a weight ticker would be a good way to see my progress because I am not seeing the progress from day-to-day, but when I gain weight I notice, a lot!

So I made this and will make another for a short term goal. I really need to stick with the ten pounds a month weight loss plan. That will make me happy and I will see progress that way. I need to structure my meals more and get my butt to the gym more than twice a week.

I just did the math, too, and 36 pounds is 25% weightloss from where I was at my highest to where I am now. That's good remeber that.

Okay so here is my small goal . . .

Currently 240, 25% more of the weight I want to lose is 35 more pounds, for a total of 71 pounds lost. Let's try to get under 200 pounds. Lose 40 more pounds to be at 198. Get there by Anthony's Birthday, September 18th. That is a really ambitious goal and is twice what you can lose each month, but even if you don't get there the progress will be awesome.

So it is Thursday, I have lost 4 pounds as of yesterday, and this morning i'm a pound heavier. NO MORE ICE CREAM! Remember to eat only what you can not as much as you want. Stick with the smaller portion. you haven't been hungry in a long time. Eat a banana for dessert instead of ice cream, and figure out how you can be happy with less on your plate. Use a smaller plate, that worked before, it will work again, just stick with it.

Do you like strawberries? I cut up some, put a packet of splenda and let it sit. When I have sweet tooth later, I have this ready to go.
