Hello my name is Jennifer. I am a single mom along with being a full-time Elementary Education student at Florida State University Panama City campus. I am 41 years old, which is one reason why losing weight is hard for me. This is a real struggle.

I have learned that I have an addiction to food. It is my comfort when I am stressed or bored. If I simply ate when I was hungry, and stopped when I was full, I would have no problem being skinny and staying that way. This is a daily fight for me, and one that I usually do not win.

I go to the gym 3 times a week, and give it a good work out every time. However, things in life happen and going to the gym may fall to only 1 or 2 times a week. I have learned with my body that it takes 3 times a week or more of vigorous workouts to get this fat burned off of my body. The fat is VERY attached to me, lol

I was a member of Weight Watchers for 5 months. I lost 15 lbs during that time, which is nice. However, I still have 35 lbs more to go. I can no longer afford Weight Watchers, so I am hoping that blogging will be helpful to me, and others out there that are also struggling with losing weight. Accountability is a big help to me. I would recommend Weight Watchers online to anybody who can afford it. It helps you learn how to eat healthy, and there are many people on there you can become friends with that will be your support group.

So here are my goals for this week: I am going to eat healthy every day this week. I will not eat out this week at all; no exceptions. I will lose either 2 lbs this week OR see a change in my measurements. I will go to the gym 3 times this week, along with being active every other day of the weeks also (this is a very weak area for me). I will post at the end of each day how I did. Knowing I am going to tell y'all how I did will help me behave myself throughout the day.

Anybody want to join me, feel free. I am all about helping each other  :)

Thanks for listening!

Jennifer
