May 2008 - Start 275 lbs
Goal - 199 Pounds

My Declaration To Be Slim:
My goal is to lose at least 2 pounds per week until I reach my goal of 199 lbs. It will take me 34 weeks to reach my goal weight. I will lose the weight by exercising at least 5 times per week for 30 minutes each. Faithfully follow a diet plan system and by getting plenty of rest, water and vitamins. I will stay active as much as possible throughout each day. When I am depressed or slip, I will pick myself up by reading magazines or listening to motivational tapes, cd’s or podcasts.

Rewards:

1. Live a longer healthier life
2. Higher Self esteem
3. Attract a mate
4. Be a better role model for my children
5. Earn a higher income

Weight Loss Tips To Self:

Below are a few guidelines that I am successfully using to lose weight. Try to incorporate some or all of them for weight loss. I will add more as time goes on - actually as I learn more of what works. Remember 3500 calories equals 1 pound. Cutting 500 calories, exercising or a combination of both per day can result in a 52 lb weight loss in one year.* Cut your calories (min. 500 calories per day) and fat

1. * Get at least 7-8 hours sleep per night
2. * Exercise with increased heart rate for 30 minutes per day
3. * Exercise at least 4-5 days per week
4. * Take a multi-vitamin daily
5. * Limit sodas to diet soda and drink more water
6. * Increase natural food intake, reduce processed foods
7. * Avoid fad diets for permanent weight loss
8. * Keep a food diary so you can access trouble spots
9. * Eat breakfast early so I won’t binge eat as much at night
10. * Make a list of reasons why you want to lose weight - review daily
