Over the course of the coming months [I am sure]… I will be posting password protected blogs that will share my journey from transforming myself. From Flabulous to Fabulous. I will be tracking my progress by my weight, exercise, measurements[?], photos, and my diet[?]. I will not just include information on my *positive* days. Feel free to leave comments, suggestions, etc while partaking in this journey with me! Let me know if you decide to do this as well. Buddy systems are always fun.
I have decided to do this, because I am just starting to feel horrible and yucky about the way that I look. I wouldn’t say that I am morbidly obese. However, I am DEFINITELY overweight [and if *not* DEFINITELY... it still shows on this 5'0 frame of mine that it wouldn't hurt if I lost any weight], and DEFINITELY out of shape. I’m not really looking for a number, just fitness/toneness [example: having the ability to climb up the stairs at my son's school without getting unbelievably out of breath]. Regardless of having TWO kids – I am supposed to have an amazing body, because at this age [24] I have the ability to maintain an amazing body-so I think I should!! I want to control my weight and level of fitness before it controls me. Plus, diabetes runs in my family -and that is NOT something I want to personally deal with myself. Everyone says that I look good – but I want to look better! I don’t want to just do good for my body/health – I want to do better!
Even after I get to what I would consider to be Fabulous -I will still keep track of my weight and diet and photos – just for my own kicks and for proof that I CAN maintain it.. [plus any other reason/way that someone else could benefit from it].
If you want the password just email me. You don’t have to leave a comment letting the whole world [ha] know that you are following/encouraging me/inspiring yourself/etc that specific set of blogs on this blog. [my email is:notmadewithcheese at gmail dot com]

I think this is an amazing idea. I am 25 and really struggling with losing my baby weight. My self esteem is low as it concerns my body image, but the most important thing is definitely my desire to be able to keep up with my three boys and their impossibly in shape dad.
Great idea and I hope it generates lots of support!
