I have a confession to make. I have been weight loss blogging... at blogger.com. I know, I know, I'm cheating on SparkPeople. But I can't deny that I love the support group I have made over there, and I like the layout better... not so cluttered. I am trying to make my way back here though, because I really like the options to track exercise and weight loss.

So I have been officially working on eating healthier, exercising, and losing weight since September 29th, 2009. I have struggled with it all my life, and tried many different things, and after reading the book "Half-Assed" by Jeanette Fulda, something in me changed. And I had a passion like I have never have to become a better version of myself.

Since the end of September, I've lost 20.9 pounds. I have done it by keeping track of my calories, trying not to eat when I'm not hungry, and regular exercise. Mostly I just go for walks in the park in the morning. But now I have also added to the mix Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred. I did it for the first time today. I feel shredded, a little bit. I am sure I will feel it more tomorrow.

If I think of it, I will try to start copying over my blogs to SP. Then I can have two support groups! Anyway, I'm glad to be back, and to start trying to get the hang of SP again... after all these months. =)
