Why is it so hard to do this?  I don’t get it.  I mean, I know that it’s hard to lose, it’s hard to get motivated to exercise and I get that… but I want it so badly some days.  I was going to go to Weight Watchers meetings for the extra support.  I have been to a few and it’s just too expensive for me.  I can’t really afford to keep going…. so a friend of mine had done the “LEARN” program at the local hospital.  She was telling me how she lost something like 30 pounds in the class.  That was pretty awesome.  It was by writing down EVERYTHING that went into her mouth on a piece of paper, then averaging out the calories that she had for the week and not going over a certain average for each day. 

Well, I went on the site (from the book that she used to count her calories), Calorie King and looked around.  I purchased a book (which should be on it’s way soon) and have signed up for the program.  It’s a lot more affordable for me and there is an online journal, calorie counterfood database and much more… You can look up a food using the Calorie Counter that I put on this site from Calorie King.

I have even found a weight loss simulator that you can sign up for and see what you will look like at your desired weight.  I am going to print out my desired body and put it on my fridge.  That should be a good conversation starter LOL
