Weight Loss Goals:
At least lose 15 lbs per month for the first 3 months.
At least lose 10 lbs per month for the next 3 months.
At least lose 5 lbs per month for the next 3 months.
How I am going to reach my goals:
Absolutely no soda. This should put my daily fat content way down as I usually drink a soda or two a day. I may choose to eventually go to only at restaurants once my weight is more manageable and my diet is better.
Absolutely no fast food. I think this is more out of convenience than anything. I simply need to get out of the habit as I don't expect to miss it much. It usually makes me feel sick afterward anyway.
Exercise for at least 30 minutes per day for 5 days a week. The other two days do at least something to get my heart rate going like a longer walk with the dogs. Our labs will like that.
No TV until exercise and to input my other goal, or until scriptures are read each night. This will help in giving me incentive to get things done as I usually like watching a show or two each night before sleeping. DVR's definitely help.
No eating after 8pm. This is a bad habit where I snack or eat more sugary things before bed. If anything drink more water during this time.
Blog what I eat each day. This will help me visualize everything I put into my body. Sometimes it shames me to think about what I have eaten. This may help me think more about what I am doing when I get a soda and some other fatty thing.
Eat smaller portions. Then if I need to eat a healthier snack later, do it.
Anyway, everyone pray for me as I don't have the strongest will in the world. But I know I can do this as it is a good thing for my life.

Let's do it! Everyone in our family! (Well after I eat a cupcake.)
There is NO fat in soda! Only sugar (carbs) and lots of that. I am so proud of you to set these goals, but I'm worried at what you ate. Eat a more substantial breakfast. Drinking water is great -- 8 to 10 glasses per day. However, you will always need to be close to a bathroom. :)
Sorry...I'm a food science major and I just have to comment. Moderation is the key! Don't starve yourself, don't eliminate foods (it just makes you want them more, try filling up on vegetables or fruits and eating a little of your favorite foods when you're already almost full), and DON'T skip breakfast. Just remember that everything can fit in and that any diet that sounds too good to be true IS. Try mypyramid.gov for good useful advice. And I'm so sorry for being some random person commenting on your blog!
