My name is Erin and I'm starting a project. A weight loss project. More precisely a weight loss blog.
It's probably been done before, but I feel that this could be the best way for me to succeed at what I've been trying to do for years.
First I little information about myself.
This is me:
I'm female.
I'm 26.
I'm 5' 5".
I'm 313.0 lbs (as of 3:13pm CST)
I'm....... wait......... 313 @ 3:13.......... weird.
Anyways...
I'm single.
I live with my sister and her dog.
I'm from a large family. Not large as in I have many siblings, but large as in overweight.
I have a history of cancer in my family.
My grandmother died of cancer that I attribute to Phen-phen, thought everyone tells me I'm wrong. (She didn't have cancer. Took Phen-phen. Lost a bunch of weight. Gained some awesome new CANCER. She died. Tell me where this doesn't correlate...)
I'm veering towards depressing things. So I will now explain what I plan on doing.
1. I'm gonna write everyday, hopefully around the same time.
2. I'm gonna talk about what exercise I've done through the day.
3. I'm gonna talk about the food I've eaten.
4. I'm gonna keep a daily weight record.
Rinse and repeat.
So for today I've................ weighed myself. I haven't eaten anything yet today, so that's on my list and so is some exercise.
It may be better to report on what I did the previous day. (I've really planned ahead.)
So tomorrow's post will have what I did today and I will continue on that track.
Laters,
Erin
If you are looking for something to help you keep track of the things you eat, how much exercise you do and all those other things with numbers that I don't quite understand, Sparkpeople is really good for that.

The Nutrition tracker is a very helpful device, which tells you how many calories is in each thing you eat. Just tell it what you had for breakfast, lunch or dinner and it will tell you how many calories you have consumed, or if you have set up a profile on there (totally free, by the way) it will tell you your daily goal, how close you are to it, etc.
I used to use this with my ex-fiance, we did this for an entire summer and it worked really well, in fact, I dropped a whole pant size in a couple of weeks, I felt pretty good about myself. After we broke up though, I hoped she'd get so fat she'd explode, like that guy, in the movie Seven.
I hope everything goes well for you and you get the results you're looking for.
Hey erin, sounds like an awesome idea, something I know I could certainly take on myself, as I am no feather-weight, the all powerful band-goddess has spoken, and she shall succeed. Much love and hope for success.
