Welcome

Welcome to all of you.  I started my weight loss efforts a few weeks ago, but have been thinking about the fact that I have always had problems keeping my motivation up.  However, this time I cannot afford to fail. 

To give you all an idea of who I am: I'm a 24 year old woman that weighed 326 pounds when I started weight loss efforts.  I've never tried any fad diets, with the exceptions of 6WBMO (which works by the way if your willing to stick to it).  My problem with diets has always been that I love food.  I enjoy cooking new and interesting meals and the same old thing for dinner every night drives me crazy.  Plus, I have paying other people to do something I can do myself and therefore all the preportioned meal plans are out.

I don't have a lot of money, in fact my house operates below the poverty line.  I'm starting this blog to keep up my motivation and to show others that it can indeed be done if you simply stick to it, even if you cannot afford all the high priced meal plans.  I will do this without surgery and without a nutritionist or physical trainer (at least for the first 130 pounds or so).  Bottom line is, if I wait untill I can afford their support I will never do it and if they were able to learn the information so can I.

I am starting a lifestyle change.  Feel free to comment, or even join me in your weight loss efforts.  Whether you have 5-10-20 or 200 pounds to lose it can all be done. 

Well, off to work for a couple hours but I will post the details of the last few weeks when I get back.
