Weight Loss 101

OK guys (meaning Whitney and Kevin!), tomorrow is Day 1 of the diet plan. I am keeping my calories at 1400 or less and am going to get my podometer set up tomorrow so that I can make sure to walk 10,000 steps each day. I will keep my daily food written here as well as my weight and walking progress, and will record my weight once each week on Wednesday of each week - and hope you guys will do the same! Tomorrow morning I will record my starting weight and at the end of each day I will record what I've eaten that day and the calorie count of each item, so that we can all be held accountable. I will also record how I'm feeling that day, etc. It will make it much easier to lose the weight I think. My goal is to lose 1-2 lbs a week, so by the end of August 2011, I should have lost 38 lbs (that is on average 2 lbs a week). I should then reach my optimal weight (goal weight) by mid-December. I would love to go into this holiday season as a much thinner (and healthier) person!

I will write more tomorrow!!!!
