Happy 3-day weekend!
Started the 'lifestyle change' yesterday. I did pretty good. I am trying to stick to about 2000 calories a day. Yesterday I think I did around 1800 calories and today I've done a little over 1700. And today I didn't do ANYTHING. I literally laid around in bed all day. Got online, paid for a book, checked my Facebook, email, etc. I love lazy days. I didn't feel too bad when Jeremy Jolola tweeted in the afternoon that he was still in his PJs and I was too.
Yesterday and today have not been as hard as I thought they would be, but I think in part that I am really ready for a change. I have that 'baby' pouch and I want to get rid of it soooo bad. And I've had four kids so you can imagine what it looks like. One of my best friends is a DJ at a bar and she needs to lose some weight too so we are going to support each other. She was telling about this website (something like weight loss wars or something like that), where we would be able to sign up and keep track of each others progress. And either join a group or start our own and then we can challenge each other and stuff. It sounded pretty cool. I need to get the website address from her and check it out.
I've set a couple of 'mini' goals.
1. Lose 5 lbs by my birthday. (September 23rd)
2. Lose 20 pounds by Christmas.
3. Be down to 200 by Valentine's Day.
Ok, there it is. Now you can hold me accountable when I fall off the wagon!
Well, off to watch kids. We are babysitting my niece and nephews. I've known my friend Heather for, like, 17 years and our daughters are 4 months apart and it is SCARY how much they are like us. And I know what we were like in high school and I'm scared.

Good luck to you. One thing that I found helpful -- I used the same approach as you did a couple of years ago and lost 30 pounds pretty quickly (then regained 10 when I went to Lithuania last February - and while I have not gained any more than that back, I think I need to go back to my old plan to lose those 10) -- was to keep a daily Excel sheet which calculated my calories for me. I entered the information on the sheet after each meal (or snack) and could quickly tell when I was nearing the limit. Maybe that will help you, too.
