Day One

Weight: 148 lbs
Body fat percentage: 34%

Too much for my 5'4" frame. To lose weight I am going to cut out one "bad" food per week. This week is potato and corn chips. Last week was sweets, including chocolate, donuts, cookies, candy, cake, muffins, cinnamon rolls, icecream... not including frozen yogurt though, I need something to help me make it through the summer.

Also, my best friend is going on weight watchers, and I want to make sure that I am also documenting my "progress" like she is.
