First day

Today starts a new day and new page in my life. I have struggled with being heavy all my life. I have gone up and down in weight like crazy. I want to be healthy for myself and my children. I am currently going to school to better myself financially with a career. But sick of how judgmental so many people are now a days. I feel it is because of them that I am the way I am. With out respect, consideration, support and encouragement I will not and can not succeed. So I have set my mind to it. I am going to work out and watch what I eat. I am going to cut down on all junk foods, fast foods and soda's. All and all I am excited. The best thing is I have the support from my BEST friend in the world. Together she and I have gone through so much and will fight this battle together as well. We have decided we are going to start a weight loss plan. We have a personal goal to try lose 5 pounds every 2 weeks (healthy is 3 pounds a week) but we have a team goal of 15 pounds combined in a month. If we do more AWESOME. If we do less, oh well its a start. So good luck to my bestie and lets get this diet started!
