Well, I did it… after months, or should I say years, of trying to lose weight on my own I finally made the decision that I needed help. I signed up for a program that I believe will not only get me to my goal weight, but will also help me keep the weight off in the future. I also believe in the science behind it. Meaning it’s going to take a lot of work and effort from me and isn’t just a “quick fix”. They also focus on other habits of health so I’ll be taught new habits one step at a time in order to learn how to eat smaller portion sizes, drink enough water, sleep enough at night, and my “favorite” get enough movement in a day.

Honestly, I think that first step of making up my mind that I will do this and stick to this new plan is the hardest. Now that I have made up my mind to do it I know that I can accomplish this goal. My first step consists of me starting this blog to talk about my journey and hopefully encourage others to take that first step as well. I guess I should post my before picture as well.

I’m actually looking forward to starting.  What are you doing today to keep you moving in the right direction?
