Spark People

This year I have jumped on the resoultion band-wagon and have resolved to lose weight in 2010. Since having Carson I have been up and down (though never as down as I'd like). With a little inspiration from a friend at work and a strong desire to wear jeans without a muffin top I began eating well on January 4th and working out just this week. In order to not fall off the wagon I am going to apply a little pressure by chronicling my success via our blog (apologies to those who don't want read about this... skip it if you like). The best tool so far has been the website http://www.sparkpeople.com/ where I track my nutrition, excercise, goals and progress. I would highly recommend Spark People even if you don't need to lose any weight.

Two weeks into it = 7lb lost! YAY!

This week I will be traveling on business which equates to business dinners and eating out. It will be challenging, but I'm feeling strong!!!! Stay tuned to see how I do...

What a fitting before picture! Sure, it doesn't show a full body shot, but the double chin and food in hand are enough!

You're my INSPIRATION! I use

Good! I've been doing the same thing, and it's haarrdd. My biggest problem is snacking...all day long. But when I open the pantry and start looking for something to stuff my big fat face with, I think "nothing tastes as good as thin feels." I know it sounds rotten, and superficial, but it's true. Good luck!

Thanks for the comments! I love Spark!

Lia - It IS awful and superficial, but coincidentally, it's been my motto. Every time I crave candy or cookies (my weaknesses) I think "nothing tastes as good as thin feels". We're made from the same mold.
