I cannot believe it has been nine weeks since I began my weight loss plan, but it has. During these nine weeks, I have cut soda completely from my diet and I have been watching my food intake, staying away from fried and fatty foods, and getting some exercising in as well.
Since I have begun my weight loss journey, I have lost 19.5 lbs total. I would like to lose another 20 lbs and think I can successfully do it by the end of June.
Below is a photo of me taken yesterday before my Tweet-Up brunch. Most of the weight loss has been in my stomach area. I am still waiting for my face to slim down but I am happy so far with my results.
During the next few weeks, I am going to to keep up with my eating plan and increase my water intake. I also want to begin a more steady workout regimen with perhaps yoga or dancing, something I think I will enjoy.
Is there anyone else out their changing their eating habits or losing weight? Would anyone like to give me additional advice to help me in my weight loss endeavors? Use the comment section below and let me know! Let’s share ideas!

Congratulations! That's great!
I am also on a weight loss/healthy living quest! I just created a personal "boot camp" challenge for myself that I started at the beginning of the month. It includes no soda (which I stared March 1), no red meat (started March 1), no bread, pasta, rice or junk food. Exercising twice a day and only drinking water.
So far it's been going well…I am surprised that I am not craving the foods as much as I thought I would and I am forced to make healthier choices and really think about what I am eating.

Best of luck!
