Amber is in!

Starting weight: 216 (ahhhh!)
Current weight: 204
Goal weight: 170 ish?



Hello girls..I've spent the last hour catching up on all the posts, and trying to figure out this whole blog thing...I'm pretty good on the computer, but still get frustrated when I have to do something new. I think I can get used to it, though, because I really need some people to help keep me accountable, and share in this part of my life I'm so focused on right now.

I've been living my 'new' lifestyle since March 4, and I've been doing really well. I feel like something just clicked, and I'm not the same person anymore...it's just not okay for me to eat like a pig and be lazy. Seems strange that it ever was okay. I'm not doing anything drastic, just keeping my house full of healthy foods, and working out about 3-4 times a week. I've been dropping about a pound every other day, which is awesome, but I know that won't last much longer with out more effort.

I love Tae Bo...Billy is not the most skilled tv personality, but I love that about him...he's a real person! And I feel like that Tae Bo really does produce results. Even though I've only lost 12 pounds, people are really noticing....I love that feeling!! When someone asks "Are you losing weight?" I live for that right now...it's like wow...yes...I sure am!

I really like the idea of a weekly weigh in...Monday sounds good to me.

So nice to meet you ladies...stay in touch!
Amber

Congrats on losing 12 so far - I'm in the same place. It IS a great feeling when people who don't know you're trying to lose weight start to notice it!

Keep up the great work!

Amber says "Even though I've only lost 12 pounds" - ONLY???? You've ONLY lost 12 lbs?? You need to be jumping up and down yelling "i've already lost 12 lbs"!!

I'm doing it for you now!!! And I still have to get on the scale this morning....

Keep it up!!!
