Gone to the Dr's....

I went to my Dr's appt on Thursday. I had questions about the Meridia he gave me. I have been doing research (google of course) on it and its getting mixed reviews. I have friends who I have talked to who have all said not to try it. I think I am at that age and point in my life where I just want the weight to be gone and almost ready to try anything. I have the prescription filled, but have yet to take it. I guess part of me really wants to do this the right way. I have been doing "better" but still have my moments of weakness.

I have been using the wii fit alot in order to try and loose weight. Part of me actually starts to wonder how something "fun" could help and hopefully all this time I am "playing" on it is doing something. No weight loss yet, but will see how it goes. Perhaps its time to break out the work out DVD's.

Why does losing weight have to be so much work? It would be so nice if it was gaining wieght that was hard and losing it was fun and easy!

Getting started

Well if you have located this blog, then you have found my interest in trying to loose some weight. I figured should I keep a record of my journey that it will help keep me more motivated and get rid of this excess way. Perhaps it will keep more more responsible for my food choices and my amount of excersising.

I have about 40lbs to loose before I am comfortable with what I weigh. I was given a prescription of Meridia from my Dr in order to help with the weight loss, but the more I have looked into it, the more the stuff freaks me out and makes sure that I am not going to take it.

I think that my weakness is "junk". I have little snacks in the house that are not horrible to have on its own, but it piles up. Sometimes I just feel really hungry even though I have just eaten.

I know I can do this.. I have done it before, and really just need to stay on board, so here goes the 40lbs! This is just the start!
