This was orginally going to be my weight loss blog but I realized I shouldn't only be focused on losing weight but also being healthy! There are so many ways of losing weight that are unhealthy and won't help you in the long run. While weight loss is a big part of my goal, I also want to be fit and in good overall health with good habits.
About 2 1/2 years ago, after the birth of my first daughter, I started Weight Watchers Online. I lost about 50lbs before getting pregnant with my 2nd daughter. Unfortunately, I gained it all back during that pregnancy. I have lost about 45lbs (from my ending pregnancy weight) in the past 11 months but have pretty much stopped in the last 2 months. I'm still at a very unhealthy weight and really need to get going again. I'd like to try to conceive our 3rd child next Fall and will not do it until I'm at my goal weight and healthy.
Another reason I want to make more of an effort to create a healthy lifestyle is because my husband is a newly diagnosed diabetic (as well as has bad cholesterol). I do all of the food shopping and meal prep in this family and my choices have a direct effect on Jason's health (not to mention my kids'!). We want to have him around for a long time and in order to keep him healthy, we need to change our lifestyle!
This blog will keep track of our eating, exercise and goals. I'm hoping this will enable us to be more accountable and keep us going on the right track!

I LOVE that you started your healthy blog!! I'll add you to my favorites right now! I do my own templates actually :) I find an image I like that's at least 760 pixels wide and create my template from there. I'm more than willing to help you with yours if you like!
Ok, what kind of theme do you want for this blog? Like a fitness image, yoga, fruit, diet, scale, etc? You can always go to google images and look for something that you like :) As long as the image is 760 or more wide, I can use it. To find out the size of an image, right click it and view properties :)
