Day 1

So, today I begin my weight loss journey. After being inspired by my awesome friend Nichole (www.nmscalia.blogspot.com), I've decided to start this blog to keep track of my successes and struggles. I'm also hoping that if I know a few people I care about are reading, it will hold be accountable for my actions. I've taken some steps to move towards a healthier Becca and these include taking alli (as suggested by my dr), joining Weight Watchers again, and buying a wii fit. I will be tracking my weight here each week, and reporting in. My ultimate goal is to lose 48 pounds. But, I have another goal that I'm working towards, one that I'm very excited about and is extremely motivating. I want to get my body in shape so that I'm ready to get pregnant. I'd love to hear from you guys, so any advice or kind words would be greatly appreciated. Here I go!

  5. Darling Becca, as always you seem to have found a unique way of doing things: a method of journaling....publicly...about weight loss, (well almost publicly)! Who would have thought to put your personal weight loss on a blog so as to gain support from a group of family and friends! Way to go! It just shows your commitment to getting healthy and ready for parenting! God knows you will need to be in shape once a "babe" arrives. Love your Step-Dad Dave

  7. What a wonderful adventure you are beginning! I respect that you are taking 100% responsibility for your experience in the world. The thought of you and Justin preparing to bring another soul into out world gives me goose bumps! Go team McSweeney!

    I have the greatest respect for your work here on this blog. Others will learn from your writing journaling...including your children that may someday find this blog and learn how much respect you have for yourself and for them. You rock!



    Big hugs to you and Justin, Dad.

  8. Yay Becca! What a fun and interesting blog. I hope Wii Fit is treating you well. I know what an emotional roller coaster putting on weight and getting it back off again is, and I know with your determination you will be just fine. This blog shows how much support you have behind you! I'll be your cheerleader if you don't mind how a pregnant chick looks in one of those hot outfits. :)
    Love you!
    Diane
