Welcome to Weight Loss Accountability

Welcome to weight loss accountability! Its proven (by experts, but more importantly by me and you) that people do better achieving their weight loss goals if they have to be accountable to someone. SO - here we are.  Me and some of my friends are on a weight loss journey and plan to post our results weekly here, no holes barred. If you did good on meals, your weight and weight loss, your exercise, your failures, and hopefully your successes. 

So, let me start the introductions....

My name is Lori, I'm 28 and my 'trigger' date (when I'll officially start this round of dieting and my starting weight) is Monday, July 20th.... although this past week when I weighed myself I was 158.4 lbs (I was 152.0 before I left on vacation at the beginning of the month).  I'm 5'9", have two cute little girlies (ages 3 yrs and 10 months) and am wanting to lose another 10 lbs... although it seems I always say "another 10 lbs" and then when I get there I don't feel as skinny as I thought I would, so I continue to want to be down another 10. So if I actually DO get down... no, WHEN I actually get down to 148, we'll see if we stop there or not.   No, this is not body dis-morphism.  

A general overview - I have PCOS which makes me borderline insulin resistant and so I have to cut out sugars when I want to lose any weight.  Ahh pasta, I pine for you, but alas, you are no good for me. Take your friends ice cream and chocolate-anythings and leave me forever.  On my diet I eat a lot of veggies, fruits, and lean meats- normally chicken.  Oh, and eggs. Lots of egg whites. I kinda hate these after "changing my lifestyle," AKA dieting, for so long, but I normally choke one down every morning for some protein for breakfast.  Anyway... I have a gym membership that I definitely use - normally 3 - 5 times a week (although I took a hiatus for our HS reunion and then vacation) and rotate doing a cardio class with a low weight/high rep class. 

Please log in and introduce yourself and then later on update us with a new post on your happenings!   We're becoming accountable to each other. I will try to post twice a week, you can decide how frequently you want to update us on you, but please at least once a week! 

Here's to accomplishing our WL goals together - whether they be short or tall, here's to getting our butts small! Cheers!
