Okay, well since I've spent most of my morning trying to get this blog up I'll make this post short & sweet. Hopefully I'll have time to add more links & figure out the margins later tonight.
So I'm also a couple of days late on this. I'm sorry, but I took the entire weekend to eat like a complete pig, which only means everyone else has a couple of days up on me. So this morning I stepped on the scale.
Since I don't just want to focus on dieting, but more on fitness & clean eating I calculated my BMI, which is at 25.3 for my height of 5'6". My goal weight is based upon being right in the "normal range" on the BMI chart. So my goal weight is 125, which is just a bit over 30 pounds to lose. I am also big on my actual body measurements. I'll get those posted tonight. I realize that since I'm not that overweight I'll probably see more inches lost than pounds lost, especially since my plan includes quite a bit of strength training.
I lost some weight back in Sept-Oct, but once Nov got here I just chucked the whole plan. I have learned that for me it is more about portion control. So I will be planning my daily meals based upon weight watchers points. I know that my daily point allowance is 20-21 and if I have a heavy workout day I can go up to 23. That worked really well for me before so I think I'll keep on that plan.
Hopefully in the next few days I can post the sites I'm using to help keep me focused as well as some great sites for recipes.

Good luck with it! You're lucky you know the weight watchers point system!
How did you calculate your BMI? I am afraid to do that, but I need to.
I'll be here cheering you on!
theothermommy - here is the link. here is the link. http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/ You just enter your height & weight & then click the button. The chart for normal & overweight BMI ranges is to the left of it.
If you have a goal weight then type that into the calculator and see where your BMI falls then. That helped me set my goal weight.
ps - I would email you directly, but you have the no-reply thingy on so I can't see your email.
the bmi chart sounds like a good tool...i'll head over there and use it.
