Journey to Weight Loss

In 2008 I started my Weight Loss journey. At that time I weighed 230 pounds, which was awful due to my short height of 5'2. My Husband deployed to Iraq in March of 07 and my Goal was to be under 200 before he returned. The deployment only lasted 4 months but I managed to lose 30 pounds with diet and exercise. He then went back to Iraq in November of 2008 and at that time my goal was to get down to 130. By the time he returned in December of 2008 I had gotten down to 136.
However lift happens, we got out of the army,I started working and diet and exercising went out the window. Since he returned 2 years ago I have managed to gain 60+ pounds back. I have never been a big gym person and managed to lose most of my weight by walking.
Last Year I received the Wii for Christmas with the goal of losing weight however that did not happen and the wii has been collecting dust. This year I received the EA personal trainer for Christmas. This program is awesome so because of this I have set a new weight lose goal. I want to be down to 150 by June 1st.
In order for me to do this I am following a strict workout plan on the wii with my trainer. I work out every other night for 30 minutes, take Wednesdays off and the other nights I only do 15 minutes. Right now my first 9 week program is set to be finished
February 26.
My Goal for the first 9 week program is to be down by 18 pounds.

I had my first weigh in Sunday when I weighed 199 :(
This week I have stuck very close to all my eating goals have worked out on schedule and have been cutting caffeine. My weigh in will be posted weekly but I will be updating through out the week with any issues or good things that happen.


Can't wait to see what happens in 2011
