Black is Slimming

That's what they say and that's the rule I have lived by for about 10 years or so. Except I have always been too young for black and now I just want, strike that NEED color!

Except color on this fat girl just makes me look fatter. So I have been seriously trying to do something about that. I joined SparkPeople and have been focusing on getting at least 60 minutes a day of cardio exercise and limiting my calories and increasing my water intake. I have stopped drinking soda and started drinking milk. I enter my food intake, every ingredient so I have to account for a tsp. of butter to a TBSP of mayonaise. I have switch some thing to fat free but have yet to partake in sugar free. My head can't stand the sugar substitutes so I figure it's just better to go without.

I made a Spark Page and I have joined some groups who are made up of people with similar goals. My favorite group is Done With Being THE Fat Girl. I also belong to Shutterbugs and another group that has more than 50lbs to lose. I have made some friendships already and we encourage each other to stay motivated. It's all free!
