How I Will Be Tracking

good Morning all :) .. So yesterday being my first day on plan I was playing around with which online and phone tracking app I was going to use. My plan had been to use Sparks People for my Itouch, Ipad and my Blackberry,but it seems that Sparks has not made a Blackberry app for the 6.0 OS system yet so I can not have it on my new phone :( super bummed because I had it on my last one. So I have decided to use Fat Secret http://www.fatsecret.com/   
They have a Blackberry app, Itouch and Ipad plus online for my computer :) So this is how I will be tracking my food intake, water, walking and gym time. So at the  end of every day I will do a screen shot of my food log so you can see what I am eating and my calorie intake .. I am super excited to be doing this and failure is not a option for me at all! oh I almost forgot . I had my Superman take my body measurements. So here we go. 

My weight in yesterday was 172.8 
My Bust is 44 inches
My Arms are 11 3/4
My waist is 40 Inches
My hips are 43 1/2
My thighs are both 25 inches.. 

There is the ugly truth :) I will try and take pictures tomorrow of my self also . If you have a favorite app for you blackberry for weight loss and tracking let me know please.  Robin

Happy New Year all!! Well its almost 4pm and I have done really well on plan. I had 2 cups of black coffee this morning, then I had a cup of yogurt for breakfast . For lunch I had 2oz of turkey breast and for dinner I will have 2 cups of black eyed peas and 1 cup brown rice. I have had water to drink all day too..

All My Ducks in a Row...

Well, I got a jump on the new plan today. I joined ww online first thing this morning and even stepped on the scale. Eeek! Not good, but thats about to change =) I have been on and off Dotties for a few weeks, just not sure how well I'll keep up with that. So I have the online stuff and the iphone app for ww. I plan on tracking my food on paper and here as well as ww online. Probably overkill, but I really need to get this done and the best way to do that is to put all my time and energy into weightloss. My blog is up and running again and I will be updating it tomorrow with the right weight and measurements, etc. and I started working on my workout calendar for January and bought some cute stickers to decorate with.

So now I'm thinking goals, just not sure what yet..besides losing and then losing some more.

The Day Is Almost Here

So Tomorrow will start my Weight Watchers journey ;) I am pretty excited and can't what to see how I do with it. 
Yesterday I played around with my Webcam on my laptop and did a couple of short Videos and finally got the sound working right. The lighting is pretty poor in my craft room, so I may have to move around the house to find the best spot. I set up a YouTube Channel but I have not had time to do anything with it yet, I created it last night right before I went to work. I will work on it today and let you know tomorrow all the details. I have decided I prob need to do a daily video log to keep me honest with my self and to keep this up. I am so very sick of being over weight and I don't want to let my self down this year. Here is what I have decided I will start out using as weight loss tools
1. I will be using the Momentium Weight watchers books.
2. Dotties weight loss zone for support and chat.
3. Dotties Itouch and Ipad app for restaurants
4. To track my food I will use one of these 3 apps on my Itouch and Ipad, not sure which ones better yet.. Sparkspeople, Lose it and MyNetDiary. 
5. I will prob try and keep and paper journal of my food intake as well.  
6. This blog and YouTube.. 

Since I wont be doing WW meetings or online I have to find a way to do this on my own and really stick with it. I want a life change, not just a diet.. I will taking body measurements and my weight tomorrow :) Talk to you then, Robin.
