New Goal Week One

For those of you who read this blog, I am asking for a request. There is an important goal I would like to reach and I know that I am going to need all the encouragement and praise I can get in order to reach it. I am going for 48 weeks. This is a long goal, broken down into shorter, weekly goals, which I will be posting on our blog. This is something that many of you may have previously spent time with me to help me on, and yes I still struggle with it. My weight. It has gotten worse recently and I am currently the heaviest I have been in my entire life. Weighing in now at 303 pounds, my health is seriously declining.
    I understand and have been taught the HOW part and think I have sufficient information on what to do to lose weight. I don't need anymore advice on that end. I just need to implement it now. JUST DO IT.
   So, what I am asking you wonderful friends is for you to check in occasionally on my posts/pictures make encouraging comments, remark on how I am doing, and don't judge. I really need to believe I can do this. I have tried at lower weights to lose weight and ultimately was never able to reach my goals. Now, at this weight it seems nearly impossible. Yet, I know that God can help me to my part and make up for what I lack. I need to do this for my health, and I can't wait any longer.
   So, if you have a little time every now and then, please help me out with words of encouragement. That helps me so much to know others are rooting for me and believe in me. I will be posting on Sundays. Thank you to those who have previously helped and thank you to those who will take the time to help now. You are so important to me.

  2. Gosh Tanya, I know how hard it is. I started losing weight a year ago in May. I was able to lose 50 pounds. I have gained back 20 pounds. I feel horrible. It is so hard. I just don't know why. I'm rooting for you. You can do it and so can I . I love you :)

  4. Hey Tanya!!! I remember YOU motivating me to work out back in the college days...TaeBo!! I also struggle with my weight still. I think some of us are just "blessed" with this trial as part of our daily life. I know you can do anything you set your mind to! IF you are interested, I started implementing the "3 day diet" into my weekly menus/food part of my weight loss process. You will hear good and bad about it, but what I like about it is that it only took one cycle of 3 days and I was mostly rid of my sugar/chocolate cravings. I have lost 16 lbs in 2 months doing this off and on, as well as eating healthier and smaller portions throughout my "normal days". I walk around the neighborhood with my 4 year old everyday and try whatever brief workouts i can fit in my day...(rarely) I know you just asked for motivation and encouragement but I just thought I'd put it out there! Good Luck girly!!!
