Heidi Week 1

Hey Everyone, I think the consensus was not to have a reward. So, Shaneen, I will be sending back your $20.

Basically we are just trying to get into shape and lose weight over the next 12 weeks and help each other as much as we can. If you want you can post your starting weight and then let us know each week how you are doing. Or, you can just come here and read about how everyone else is doing and get motivated. Losing weight is one of the hardest things to do, so anyway we can help each other is great.

It also helps to see that someone else is going through the same struggles as you.

So here is my information. I will probably respond each week as to where I am at. It helps me to know that I am going to be held accountable. It makes me stay focused. Don't feel that you have to post your information.

Starting 1/23/10 167 lbs
Week 1 1/30/10 164 lbs.
Goal Weight 4/24/10 145 lbs.

This week I really focused on my cardio. I made it to the gym 5 times. Each time I did 30 minutes on the treadmill followed up by 15 to 20 minutes on the elliptical. Next week I hope to do the same thing but add in weights twice a week.

I did REALLY bad on my calories. I have a hard time not just eating anything that sounds good. Especially if its chocolate. I really need to work on that.

So feel free to post I emailed you all the information to sign in and make your own posts. Let us know your goals, where you are at, what you are struggling with, or what worked best for you. Let's help eachother and have a blast.
