weight loss

So, I have to brag for a minute. A few months ago, I went to the doctor and literally CRIED when I stepped onto the scale. I couldn't believe how much I'd gained. It didn't seem as if I'd changed anything in my eating habits, but something was definitely off. For about a month, I tried to keep an eye on what I was eating/drinking, but it didn't seem to be making much of a difference. Anyone who knows me, knows that I HATE exercise so I was really hoping to do it w/just a diet change. So about two months ago, I started back using sparkpeople I'd used it before, but not very religiously. This time I was bound and determined I was going to make it work. But after less than a month, I was at a stand still. I'd lost 5lbs but that was it. My goal was a whopping 22lbs which still seems a little unobtainable. So for Christmas, I broke down, bought a Wii, and w/the Wii active my mom got me, started working out! Yes, I still can't believe it myself. I can't believe that I'm up to working out 4days a week, or that I've stuck w/it so long. The results are what keep me going though bc in 2mos, I've lost a grand total of 11pounds! I'm half way to my goal and just had to brag :)
