Weight Loss Journey

Last week I felt the need to be completely honest with  you about my weight loss goals and I showed you my before pictures and even my measurements....Just so you know I struggle with eating healthy, like all the time. I love soda, Starbucks lattes, Cheese Danish, chips, cake....pretty much if its bad for you I want it. I am addicted to caffeine and me and sugar are like BFF's. I'm telling you I will sit and watch the Biggest Looser while drinking a Dr. Pepper and eating Cheetos. I end up eating half the bag, regret it, and do it again. What in the world is wrong with me? I guess I have no self discipline or self control, or perhaps I just didn't choose to do better. But today I am starting over and plan to keep starting over if I fail, I guess it takes time to make a full life style change. I also know old habits die hard...but I just want to have more control over those bad habits. Losing weight will not happen if I don't make better choices and if I don't start to exercise.   I started looking at pictures of myself, starting looking at how clothes are fitting and I am not happy with what I see. Don't get me wrong I love myself and I think I'm beautiful (not in a conceited kind of way), but I am also a realist.  Since I had the guts to put my weight and measurements out there I figure I may as well go ahead and calculate my weight-to-hip ratio, and my Body Mass Index (BMI). I am soooo hoping that by putting all this out there I will not fall off the wagon and if I do I hope you guys can encourage me to get back on....

Current WTH (Waist to Hip) ratio: 0.84 (apparently I'm an "avocado," moderate health risk)
Visit this website to learn more about the importance of this number. It explains it pretty well!
If you want to calculate your own WTH ratio, go HERE.

Current BMI: 25.3 (overweight)
I used this website to calculate my own BMI. I am at the very beginning of the scale for the "overweight" category, but looking at this flab I know I am.

Goal weight: 140

 Based on my previous weights this seems like a good number for me. I went to this website after googling what my weight should be given my height and age.

One of my worse habits is either skipping breakfast or eating a pastry and Grande Starbucks Latte. So today I started with a healthy morning shake. Visalus shake mix and 8oz of Mango Peach V-8 Juice.
Very yummy and filling.

and I started counting calories through this ap on my iphone

Next step add in some water and find a gym. Perhaps if I buy me a new pair of Nike's I will get to the gym.....Nothing like a little shopping trip to motivate me.
