Weight loss plan
My first step in losing weight is to keep track of my weight on a calendar. My plan is to weigh myself first thing in the morning and right before I go to bed. I am hoping this will help me get an idea of how much I am gaining on a daily basis or if I am actually losing any weight. At the end of the week I will look at my calendar and determine if I lost or gained weight that week. Then depending on how I did I can change my diet and workout routine to help achieve the weight loss goal I have given myself of 15 pounds. I am going home for Thanksgiving. It is the first time I will see my best friends from back home and my in-laws. It is also the first time my husband’s sister will see my daughter. She is 6 months already. I really want to fit into my pre pregnancy jeans, without having to suck in my belly all day long. I have been stuck at the same weight for over a month now and I have decided that this is it. I have to get on a set schedule with working out and watching what I eat if I plan on losing that kind of weight in a month. This means no more late night cravings for ice cream. Instead I am replacing any sweet craving, which I mainly get at night, with a glass of milk. Instead of sitting on the couch watching TV, if none of my shows are on, I am going to be working on the computer or scrapbooking, or doing sit-ups.

It sounds as though you’re ready to make a lifestyle change. I applaud you! I experienced the same weight plateau after my daughter was born. My suggestion to you is instead of weighing yourself everyday, try it once a week. You won’t want to do it daily because water retention could result in a false reading. Our bodies tend to hold more water toward the evening. Believe me, I know from lots of experience, lol! Stay with your plan and add more protein, veggies, water, and fruit to your diet and you’ll be well on your way to losing the weight you want. Good luck and take care!

Hi fellow scrapbooker. Good luck to you in your weight loss goals. Stay away from the scale. You’ll know if your losing by how your clothes fit. I would suggest drinking at least four big glasses or bottles of water per day and see if that helps. Please check out my new blog at http://scrapgirl.today.com.
