The Starting Line

Where do I begin....I wanted to start this blog as a way to help track my progress and my set backs in my venture to lose weight and be healthier in time for my sisters wedding.  My goal is to be 115lb.  Is this a realistic goal I am not sure but it is the goal. Right now as I weigh myself this morning I am (I hate to say) 154.7lb. I do not know why it is so hard to look down at the scale.  You know that the number is not going to change and somehow as I get on and off the scale multiple times this morning in my mind, I think that maybe it will.  Maybe the scale was off and this constant getting on and off the scale will miraculously change the number ..But shocker it does not. Then I start thinking to myself maybe this scale is broken, that I need to put it on my list of things to get this week, a scale, because this one has to be broken. So my goal this morning is to go to work and weight myself and prove that I need a new scale. I know that all this sounds crazy but these are the things that go on in my head. 
So I am sure that it is no surprise I go to work this morning step on the scale and you guessed it I weighted 154.7. So I guess that is it.  That is my weight and I have to move forward from here. 
So here we go...the challenge is for me to lose 39.7 pounds in 143 days and to blog each day on what I did or did not do to achieve this goal.  So wish me luck not sure how this one is going to turn out..but here is trying :)

  3. Wow, you did a great thing. You went public with you goal and set up a system that not only keeps you disciplined but also accountable. Dana I am an awe you not only went on the scale, but you had the courage to publish it for all to see. As a women, that lady is having "cajones" to fight the good fight. I have no doubt you will succeed. you motivated me to cut my veggies for the day
