The Last "20" Pounds...

I don't know if all of you have seen the show "The Last 10 pound Boot Camp", well I've watched it a lot and I'm titling this post the last 20 lbs because that is all I have left to lose. I've been trying to lose 50 lbs since Sept 2006, I've managed to lose 30 lbs in that time, I have lost more than that but that is for another post. I hope that this year I can achieve my goal of 50 lbs gone. I hope that I will have the willpower to do it. These past few years gaining and losing has been very frustrating. I work very hard to lose the weight and then take a few months off and the weight comes back on. I don't know how many times this will happen to me until I finally realize that this is for life. I have to eat well and exercise for LIFE!!! I'm hoping that this year I will be motivated enough to update you all about my journey to lose these last 20 lbs. My goal is to update this at least once a week, whether good or bad, which is a very hard thing to do especially when the week hasn't been so good. I've changed my weight loss ticker to reflect my current weight, even though I have already managed to lose 30 lbs. My sister-in-law told me that weight loss is about 80% what you eat and 20% exercise, the hardest most days for me is what I put in my mouth!!! But I know what I need to do & this is the year to do it FINALLY!!! Happy New Year!!
