my 24th birthday.

i LOVE eggs. sometimes i try to eat breakfast. 

started crossfit. post workout tomato face. it's HARD!

i got BANGS :) it's been a good, fun change. 

LA County fair with the niece and nephew.

hanging out with this cute girl :)

beach days and beautiful sunsets. 

So I have been eating HORRIBLE lately...like right before this i ate chili cheese fries and a fosters vanilla ice cream cone bad ;) but i am looking forward to setting goals for myself and hopefully finding some motivation again!!

OCTOBER GOALS

1. limit my eating out to once (lets be realistic here;)) twice a week.
2. crossfit atleast 3 times a week. 
3. write my food down every day. (not even calorie counting. just writing down.)
4. use my new bike one time a week. (it's really weird going from a beach cruiser to road bike)
5. start using a calendar to stay organized. phone or paper? that is the question :)

making the commitment...

Being overweight is HARD! You always have negative feelings and thoughts towards yourself..."You aren't beautiful." "You are never going to be at your goal weight." "Don't try that; you're going to make a fool of yourself because of your size." "I don't even know why i have a crush on him, he could never like me." "Shopping sucks, there are never any cute clothes in my size anyways." and MORE! I know it's not good on me emotionally, and i try to change my mind set to more positive things...but that is way easier said then done!

Why is so much of our world based on what you look like? There are so many wonderful women in this world who think they suck because they don't measure up to the worlds standards of "beautiful" or the perfect woman. I fall in to that ugly trap as well...and it is sad because I know inside I am an amazing woman...I make people happy, I'm a good listener, I have a strong testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ, I care/love for others, I am good with managing my money (silly, but true), and I think overall I am a strong women with a great personality! But sadly, the world does not seem to care as much about that stuff. You really are judged on your appearance...and let's be honest, I catch myself being the same way with others and myself. I just want to feel comfortable and confident in my own skin. I am sick and tired of being FAT!!!

Sometimes i feel so sad and lonely when i think about being fat my whole life. But you know what Taylor, you can do this! You have made other commitments in your life that have made you a better person...and you can commit to getting healthier! Honestly, when I commit myself to something, I stick with it...I just have to truly make the commitment. It wont be easy...but let's be honest, nothing in life is easy! AND, I know I can get help from my family, friends, weight watchers, online stuff and most importantly my Heavenly Father. I have to include Him in this journey! He knows me best and ultimately just wants me to be happy :)

Taylor, today you are making that commitment!

"You are strong, you are beautiful, you are worth it!"

{words I came up with that I will repeat to myself every day...until I truly believe them.}

I can't wait to see how I progress...because I'm going to :)

xoxo.

(p.s. This was a journal entry I wrote to myself. That's how I want my blog to be...journaling/my thoughta)

after our hiatus that lasted far too long, we are back!! so this post will be from me, and i have a semi exciting story to tell all of you. ill tie into weightloss...a little bit. but come on, dont we all love a good story?! ok actually it wont be that great of a story, but thats ok.
So i go to BYU. if any of you dont know, basketball is a huge deal at our school. it was crazy last year becasue we had Jimmer, so everyone was obsessed. and im not using that word lightly. but this year, people still go crazy. and by crazy i mean that people camped out for 6 days outside the marriot center so they could get front row. we live in utah. its beyond freezing at night. it snowed yesterday. yet people still slept in tents outside probably getting hypothermia just to be close to the players. well those of you who dont know me well, i am not a sports fan. in no shape or form. so i have literally never been to a BYU basketball game. well drumroll please...I WENT TO MY FIRST GAME TONIGHT! it was a blast! the energy was so intense you could feel it coursing through your viens. it was crazy right from the beggining. they turned all the lights down, and showed this video on white cloth that hung all the way down from the center scroe baord thing. everyone was screaming, and i knew it was going to be a good game. our team is amazing people, just amazing. i was screaming and cheering right along side of all the crazy fans, and i felt like a part of them. except when things would happen that i had no clue what was going on, which happened quite often, sadly. but after a very intense game WE WON!!! but to be honest since im not a huge sports fan, the most exciting part was our free t shirt (we played plinko to get some apartments advertisment shirts haha) free pack of gum (also from those people) free yogurt land (my favorite place in the whole world, if BYU scored 80 points yogurt land gave everyone free yogurt) and a free pedometer (gave it to us as we were walking out after we won. oh and this is how im tying this story into weightloss hahahahah!) i love me some free stuff :) so then after the game was over we went to get our free yogurt (which is a little healthier than ice cream, so that kinda ties in too right?? haha), which was of course amazing, im obsessed with yogurtland. it was a great night.




well if you are reading this post, thanks so much for still being a chubby diaries reader! we promise to be better at posting! have a great week :)

So today was "one of those days"! :/ You know the, have yourself a pitty party kind of day?! ughhh. Those days are no fun...and they come out of no where and you can't control the way you feel! I just felt ugly, fat, and like i couldn't accomplish anything. So i went to my Weight Watchers meeting and decided not to weigh-in (which i ALWAYS do no matter what) because i knew that i gained and i would just be more depressed and mad at myself. But i am so glad i went to the meeting...it kinda got me out of the slump (even though i still didn't feel like being happy and fun with my clients the rest of the day haha) and i got a big hug from my amazing leader :) i KNOW that i can accomplish my goals...it is just going to take hard work and dedication and not just my half butt trying i've been doing lately ;)

So i felt like i needed to start my blog up again. It's going to be kinda boring haha. I am going to post pictures and write what i ate each day with the points + and any good finds i find :) I need something to keep me going and give me that push! So...To read it, or not to read it...that is the question! ;)

Today's menu:

(b) Chocolate pure protein bar [5 p+] it's my go to meal now when i am in a rush, but need to eat something. Surprisingly, they are really good and don't have lots of sugar like many protein bars have.

(l) In-N-Out cheeseburger [13], french fry [11], and 2 diet cokes [0] [24 p+] Yea, like i said, it was one of those days and i just needed this! haha. but i am counting it! :) seeing my niece and nephew and sisters brightened my day up.

(d) 4 oz balsamic glazed chicken breast [6], 1/2 C white rice with chicken broth [3], roasted asparagus [0], 3 pear halfs [0] [9 p+] Thank you marmy for a delicious dinner! i came home from a long day at work with this lovely dinner ready to eat.
Total: 38 p+

I just went over by 1 p+...so i have 48 p+ extras left for the week.

And no exercise for the day :( Tomorrow morning i will get something done!!

5 MILES! ...nbd ;)

This morning we woke up at 6:30 to get ready for our fabulous hike at the "Claremont Wilderness Trail". It's a 5 mile hike with about 3 miles of it up hill. We like it because they post .5 mile markers along the way, the trail is wide and kept up nice, there are lots of friendly people walking by so you feel safe, and the nature/birds chirping are so pretty! We definitely had to stop at several points...but we finished in about 2 hours (and that was even with stopping for about 15 minutes at the look out point and stopping for pictures...hello! gotta take those!) As we were walking up the trail we kept getting multiple groups behind us, because of our slow speed ;). So we just gladly let them pass: 1, because we hate having people behind us and 2, they would have such loud conversations we couldn't hear the pretty background sound of nature. Isn't that the best part of hiking?! Overall it was a great hike and we felt so amazing in the end...with our super sore legs and all!

We are hoping to make this a weekly tradition ((well, atleast while Jonni is home for the summer!))

Here are some pictures for your enjoyment! We also took 2 videos to show our lovely phat chick lovers...but we can't get them to upload! boohoo. So we will post them later if we figure it out :)

Overview of the trail...

Near the end...

at THIS beautiful spot...
the pictures don't do it justice...

look out point...

i'm a strong/powerful lady! haha...

woo hoo! we made it...
at about 1.5 miles...

YELLOW flowers...jonni's fav!...

starting up the hill...we be excited!
Now let us leave you with some inspirational lyrics from Miley! ;) They seem to fit in perfectly with our hiking theme. haha.

"There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb"

I wish i had a creative title :)

...but i don't! and i honestly don't even really have anything to say. BUT i did just happen to go back and look at one of our very first posts with our "before" pictures....and WOW! i feel like i haven't lost very much and changed, but looking at those pictures makes me realize that i have, indeed :) yay...slow and steady does win the race. i can't wait to do another photo shoot with miss J in a few months and compare the 2!

Anyways, i know that we totally neglect this blog...and i am not going to promise that i will start posting faithfully anytime soon :) but a girl can try! i have been trying to make healthier food choices because, heck, i want to win that $300 for our Biggest Loser competition! but it is soooo hard! does anyone have any favorite healthy recipes they would like to share with me?! maybe i will try one of them and take pictures and make a post about it. OH! and i use to always say that i hated fish, but i was brave and gave it another shot and surprisingly i really enjoy it! it has become a staple meal in the clark household.

ok, this is a very scattered post. hope you are all doing well!! maaaaybe you will be lucky and see me back here this week :) but don't hold your breathe (you may just die haha)

ta ta...TAY!

mind over matter

if you were a part of our family at the moment, you would be in a weight loss frenzy. Taylor and I had an amazing idea to do a family biggest loser this year. now, we have tried this many years and we have never actually stuck to it. in fact, if my memory serves me right, we have never even gotten so far as to actually put the money into the winner pot. but this year, the 2 phat chicks were super dedicated!!! at first, it was going to be just me, Taylor, our 2 sisters Ally and Lauren, and our mom. we were each going to put in 20 dollars, which made the winning prize be 80 dollars! that was pretty exciting to me, being a poor college student. but after my mom posted something on my facebook wall, one of my cousins saw and wanted to join...lets just say that 15 people later our prize is now $380!!!!!!!!!!! needless to say, everyone is now super motivated and at least personally the only thing on my mind is how i can lose more weight. we are all very excited and cant wait till the first weigh in, to check out all the competition ;] it is going to last 6 months, with our final weigh in being june 14. while i know its a long time, i have full confidence in everyone, and i know that by the end of this everyone will be very happy with the results!

for me, i want to lose weight so badly, but it has never worked out for me. i have slowly lost some weight as the months pass, but nothing big and barely noticeable. but whenever i really try, i can never seem to stick with it, or never seem to see results. so if i wanted to lose weight this time, i had to look deep inside myself and really ask myself why i never could before, and think of a way to change that. as i was walking to the gym i was having an internal conversation, just like i always do haha, and i was thinking about the end results of the competition and thinking about working out. and i thought to myself, i cant really do this, i will never be able to actually lose weight, ill always be that chubby girl who is not confident and self conscious. it was then that i realized why it has never worked for before, i never truly thought i could lose weight. but something like that is really hard to just change in a second. but i knew the only way i could change it was through the help of my Heavenly Father. when i'm not confident, when i look at myself in the mirror and hate the body i see, He is thinking the exact opposite. He loves me no matter what i look like, and he knows everything i can accomplish if actually try. when i look at my body as something i hate, i'm sure He is disappointed. My body is something divine, and given to me by God and when i don't see it like that, i am not achieving my full potential. i have not been taking care of this wonderful gift i have been given, and i need to change that. so in stead of thinking i could never achieve my goals, i started saying a little prayer. it went something like this "Heavenly Father, please, i need your help. i cant do this by myself, and i feel like i never will be able to. i want to love my body and see it as gift from you. please help me to be grateful for everything i can do, and the things i take for advantage, and please let me see my body as the divine thing it is". when i went to the gym and got on the elliptical machine, i looked down at my legs, and saw the way they moved without effort, and thought of the muscles that pulled them. then i looked at my arms and the way they pushed and pulled through the air. and then i thought of all the amazing things bodies do, the way our hearts pump blood through our body, and lungs breath in and out. i felt my body warm as i worked out, and realized how my body was reacting to the work. and i became instantly grateful for this body that can move and take me places, and think, and function so wonderfully, all without my thought. that night as i can home, i looked in the mirror and i loved what i saw. my body didn't change in one night, and while i still saw how much i have to loose, i looked at the beauty of it and was completely happy with my self. now, there is no doubt in my mind that i can do it, i WILL loose weight. i WILL eat healthy. i WILL exercise and get better. it may be a slow process, but i am ready for it. i will no longer treat this body like crap, and will treat it like the gift it really is.

HAPPY 2011!

so i told yall that i would sumarize my WW meeting topic...so here is what i got out of it :)

the topic was "PointsPlus 2011...A Second Honeymoon!" it was all about how we can be starting over, in a good way! :) and how to set achievable goals this year. my leaders name is JoJo and i absolutely LOVE her! she is by far one of the best leaders i have ever had at WW (remember, this is like my 4th time coming back!) but anyways, she started off with a quote that said, "An optimist stays up until midnight to see the New Year in. A pessimist stays up until midnight to make sure the old year leaves." -American Author Bill Vaughn. I need to be that optimist! :) I am excited for the new year to be here and to make those changes that will last! And i am going to take with me the stuff i have learned from in 2010.

Then she went on to tell us how to set our goals. And here is what a WINNING OUTCOME should look like:

• positive


• specific


• within your control


• a good fit with your life

i like it! :) so for my weight loss new years resolution i am going to say NO SODA (including diet) ! positive, because it will help me be healthier (check) specific (check) within my control, i've done it before for a whole year :) (check) and a good fit for my life (check)

and for my personal i haven't quote decided. i am either going to do 365 Days of Pictures or write in a journal every day. and i think both of those would pass the winning outcome check list :)

I am just excited for the new year! i know i am still not going to be perfect, but it gives me a chance to start fresh and to try and make positive changes in my life :)

the only think i am worried about is tonight new years eve party with the familia and friends :/ i know there is going to be LOTS of yummy food and it is going to be a struggle to try an eat healthy. but for my appetizer i am bringing fruit with a fruit dip and fruit is free on WW. yay for trying to be healthy :) haha. and i am not going to have the mentality i had last year of "eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we DIET!" :) haha. i need to change that way of thinking...because "starting tomorrow" on my diet has never worked for me and i need to make the changes TODAY!

anyways, i hope you all have a goal in mind for the NEW YEAR! Let's give ourselves a chalenge and something to work at and accomplish!

and i will leave with the quote i left with at WW.

"The greatest thing you have is the 24 hours in front of you. The past is gone, the future is distant. Today you can succeed! Set a goal you can achieve within the next 24 hours." -Joann Pillifant, WW Leader

*my 24 hours goal is going to be: write everything i put in my mouth down. because then that will help me visualize how much i have ate so i don't overeat at the party*

Dear Bed,

You are so warm and cozy and i, of course, LOVE YOU...but you make it really hard for me to want to get out of bed at 6 in the morning and go the the gym...especially on a rainy, cold day! But i did...just 20 minutes later ;) So thanks for pushing me out.

Love,
Tay Tay

*walked for an hour on the treadmill and accomplished 3.28 miles*

So yesterday wasn't a completely successful day, but it also wasn't a complete failure :) always a plus. One of my goals is to track everything i eat...which has been a real struggle for me. And actually i am suppose to even find the PointsPlus values for Weight Watchers, which i never do. (yea, i act like i don't even know what the program is. hehe) but yesterday i tracked!!! woohoo. didn't figure out the points (and i know for certain i would have gone way over), but i wrote everything down! GO ME! here is what my day looked liked:

(B) orange

(L) leftover turkey soup
12 saltine crackers
salad
croutons
light balsamic vinegarette

(S) 4 pumkin cookies
1 chocolate dipped pretzal
(YIKES!)

(D) 3 chicken roll-up's
scoop cream of chicken
1/2 C white rice w/ some butter

(S) TOO MANY peanut butter M&M's (my downfall)
popcorn with butter and salt
[[me, the marmy and seesters watched "Eat, Pray, Love"...which i actually liked! but involved too many treats]]


So i am proud that i actually tracked. Today, maybe i can track and figure out atleast a few of the points that i ate. i am taking baby steps here :)

oh and on another plus...i lost 1 pound yesterday at my weigh-in! woohoo! i was pretty shocked to see that number since i ate AWFUL that week during Christmas vacay. (i was actually expecting to be depressed again and gain some more) but the previous week aunt flow gave me a visit and i had gained a whopping 3.6 lbs...so i think it balanced out. the topic at WW yesterday was on new years goals and how we are going to make this year different than our previous...so i will do another post on that :)

anywhooooo...time to get ready for work! i will check in later.

It's beginning to look alot like...

NEW YEARS! :) which is that wonderful time of the year to reevaluate our lives and set new goals. We are so pumped and excited to actually achieve our goals this year...and we don't want anyone telling us we can't. this year we are banning CAN'T from our vocabulary! There have been many different things that have forced us to take action and we each have different motivators to help us along. Like Taylor's desire to go on a cruise/find a HOT boyfriend (wink wink) or Jonni's plan to move to Hawaii next year and be seen in a bathing suit...by everyone!

Now, let's just say for the past 3 years we have been "planning" a family Biggest Loser...but it's actually going to happen this year! :) The money is going in to the pot and we are weighing/taking measurements. woot woot...here comes the new and improved skinny clark family!!

So, you will be hearing back from us soon. no more weigh-in's...but just our every day to day life and challenges. be prepared for our wonderful words of wisdom ;)

love you all...

Question...

Sooooo...if i started over with this silly thing...would anyone even read it?! i just need something that might motivate me again. i need a real goal to work towards...because i am slaking major over here! :/

i'm so excited, and i just can't hide it!

...and it's because me and jonni are starting this so called "journey" over again together!! :) last night i told jonni that i was sick of being chubby and i wanted to look HOT! ((and let's be honest...it's kinda for a guy! hahaha)) so jonni said that we are going to do this together. seriously, losing weight and sticking to any goals is so much easier when you have a partner in crime to do it with! :) so we told eachother that we are going to eat healthy and exercise and then every day we are going to call eachother and spill the beans as to what we did and what we accomplished! woohoo...we are going to do this! we are gunna be two hot mamas!!! ;) haha.

and this morning we have already been texting eachother and giving eachother encouragement. i told her that i was too tired to wake up at 6 and go to the gym since i had a late night and she just reassured me that i had tonight and the whole day to still get some exercise in :) i love her! and we made it a goal today to write everything down we eat so we can call and tell eachother. yay.

and let's just leave this post with this adorable boy!! ;) ((i can't get enough of him lately! i want his CD))

Why hello there...

...do you remember me?! oh yesh, it is T! :) haha. I know, i know...i am a major slacker with the blog and i WANT to be good. i will try a little harder :) hehe.

anyways...on to my 3 week (?) update! it's been a while. But things are going good over in T's world :) well for the past week they have been. i have to be honest, i was slacking off major the 2 weeks before and at 2 of my WW weigh-in's i gained 1 lb one week and 1.2 another. i felt really crummy and knew that i had to get my butt in gear...and that my friends is exactly what i did! :) it was like i had a new mindset and willpower to do this awful thing we call losing weight!! ;) i was really sad because my partner in crime, whom you all know, J left that day for college. {{p.s. i am trying to get her to still be a part of the blog. don't you think it would be fun to see the perspective of a college student and her journey of not gaining the 'freshman 15'? yea, i think so too! persuade her to do so :) }} But i want to be a skinny 'bi' when she comes home for Christmas! haha. and i know that i can do it :)

So here are my stats for the last 3 weeks:
week 12- 251.4 lbs (+1.2)
week 13- 252.4 lbs (+1)
week 14- 247.8 lbs (-4.6!!!)

can i get a HECK YES?!!? i was sooo excited to see that -4.6 lbs!!!! i had a good week and i think it was well deserved. actually, that was one of my first big numbers i lost while doing WW for 14 weeks. i couldn't stop smiling. one, that puts me in the 40's! and two, i lost 5%! woohoo. My next weight loss goal is 10% of my body weight, which is another 13 lbs. i can do that! 5 lbs at a time :)

this week at my weight watchers meeting {{which by the way i LOVE ww. i think it is an amazing program! each week truly gets me through to the next}} it was about moving more and being more active. i actually do love working out. i feel so much better and seem to have more energy throughout the day. they were talking about how exercise doesn't have to mean GYM, but i personally love the gym. i think having a gym membership pushes me to go and gives me that time by myself to just think about what i really want. it gives me confidence...because when i first started i felt SO stupid at the gym. i felt like everyone was looking at me and judging me. but now i could give a rats butt. haha. i wear what i want, i do what i want, and i don't feel embarrassed! :)

Here i am after just going to the gym this morning. yes, i look like a tomato {{and that was even after about 5 minutes haha}}
i am also so excited because i am following the c25k program with my friend camilla!!! :)well, she is in utah, and i am in cali but we text eachother after each workout and see how it went. i love having a buddy because it makes me more accountable. like this morning i wanted to turn my alarm off, but i knew that i needed to do it and i knew that camilla would be texting me :) hehe. so i went and i did it! i thought i was going to die today, but i pushed through and finished! you really do feel so good after you accomplish something you didn't think you could do. i love the c25k program because it is just 3 days a week for 9 weeks. they say within 9 weeks you should be able to run a 5k. woohoo!! i need to find a date for a race and sign up for it :) right now i am on week 2 day 2....which is a warm up walk for 5 minutes, 90 seconds of jogging and 2 minutes of walking for 20 minutes. it's not too bad, just for some reason today i felt like dying! but i didn't! and to me that shows that we are capable of doing SO much more than we think we can!!!

anyways, i am excited for this week and to see the amount i lose next week {{yay for positive thinking haha}}

Do any of you have exciting news you want to share with us?! please share in the comments :)

i hope all you lovely phat chick lovers have a fabulous week!!!!!! :)

weigh-in wednesday: week 10 & 11

{{or should i say "friday". hehe.}}

I know, i know...didn't we just commit to writing like every single day just a few weeks ago and the very next day we failed?! haha. I have been slackin...MAJOR. But i came back to give you an update on my weekly weigh-in's. And ehhh is all i have to say! haha. I don't know what it is, but i just have not had motivation these past 2 weeks. and i was so excited to get in the 40's. I wasn't working out regularly and i was eating awful! BUT this last week in my WW meeting the topic was on Progress vs. Perfection. And you know what...i have made progress from when i first started WW and especially looking back, from when i first came back home from utah 2 years ago (i've lost about 20-25 lbs) Here is a picture to prove it. New Years Eve 2009. yikes!

i know that this is not going to be an easy journey...but i know that i have to make it a LIFELONG one! i am honestly going to stay with WW and go the the meetings for the rest of my life. {i've commited to it} i know that if i don't the weight will just creep right back on! So why not embrace this journey and enjoy the slow changes that i am making :o) i know that i will get my 100 pounds that i want to loose...when is just the question! ...and i am fine with however many years or months that is going to take...as long as it is sometime! :o)

So here are my stats for the last 2 weeks:

SW: 260.8 lbs

CW: 250.4 & 250.2 lbs (i lost .2 lbs each week)

TWL: 10.6 lbs

And to be honest...the start of this week hasn't been too great either. I have already gone over my weekly 35 extra points. But my goal is to write down all of my mini goals and big goals for my future! i think it's a very important thing to do and i have yet to do it :o)

So here's a happy 'week 12' to all of my beautiful phat chick lovers!!

weigh-in wednesday: week 9 results

yay...i followed through with my goal last week, which was to do one hour of cardio each day [[minus sunday]]....and i did just that! :o) Somedays i went to the gym and did an hour of walking on the treadmill {which totally gets tiring!}...one day i did a 5K race and walked that...and one day i walked a mile long trail, which was totally hard! {{pictures to come of those events}} I am also trying to hit 10, 000 steps in a day and the days that i wore my bodybugg i exceeded that goal! It felt good! So all of my hard work paid off. Although i know if i would have written/tracked my food down better i could have lost even more, oh well!! So next week i hope to finally break the 50's and get down to the 40's!!! But this week i lost 2.6 lbs!

Here are my stats for the week-

SW: 260.8 lbs
CW: 250.6 lbs
TWL: 10.2 lbs [about a lb. a week]

And i am not sure what i want my goal for this week to be. I will come up with one and post it later on :o)

Have a fabulous week everyone!!

weigh-in wednesday: week 8 results

wow...this past week was not a good one. i didn't follow through with my weekly goal of tracking everything that i ate. but somehow i lost an undeserving 1 pound! haha. i'll take it...but i know that i have to do better this week! because i want to feel good and deserving of my weight loss...and make healthier lifestyle choices overall!

Last night me, lauren, matt, jonni and our friend cameron went to a Dodger game. It was really fun and we actually got alot of walking in :o)


and then this morning i went to the gym and walked on the treadmill for an hour at a brisk pace. it felt GREAT! :o) i wanted to start wearing my bodybugg again today because i am going to try and walk 10,000 steps in a day [[and i want to see how many calories i am burning]], but it was dead from not wearing it for so long...so at this moment it is being re-charged. so hopefully that will get me moving a little more too!

so here are T's stats for the week-

SW: 260.8 lbs
CW: 253.0 lbs
TWL: 7.8 lbs

My goal for this week is to get 1 hour of cardio in a day [[minus sunday]] totally achievable!

what is your goal for the week?! :o)

Determination is key

...like J's new necklace. You must always keep it close to your heart and never forget it...or else you will be locked out of your house. OR in this simile, fat forever!! hahaha.

So, we are DETERMINED to lose weight for good! :) To help us lose this weight we are determined to blog every day, and keep weight loss in our minds. We are determined to accomplish our short/long term goals! (post on that coming soon) We are determined to exercise more. We are determined to help motivate eachother. And we are determined to look goooood...and get those hot boys we are dreamin' about! ;)
