The Storyxxxxxxxxxxxx!xxxxxxxxxxxx

xxxSo it seems like I'm not really any different from anyone else on here but I figure that if I'm starting one of these then maybe I should go all out. I tried to make it pretty. . . I really did, everyone.

Name's Emma. I was born with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (I'd love to chat with someone who's in the same boat by the way), I'm a fan of roleplaying, and I've finally set a goal which I'm dying to reach.

This summer (July, 2011) my aunt is hosting a party as she does every summer. This summer she's planned a talent show and, when this happens, I'm determined to put on a great performance. I've dreamed of singing since I was a little kid and now it turns out my cousin's started to become a known musician (his the same age as me). After I started hearing everyone talk about him I've really started to get fueled about it. I'm singing this summer in front of my family and I'm going to look good doing it.

The goal, I think, will be 20 lbs by July.

I'm taking my first step by keeping this journal to keep me inspired. Any encouragement would be great. n.n

The Goalxxxxxxxxxxxx!xxxxxxxxxxxx

May 3rd: Get down to 165 by May 3rd
x♫x♫I'm determined to reach this goal because I promised myself that if I do I'll buy that guitarulele I've been looking at for months.
July 1st: Get down to 150 by July 1st.
x♫x♫Not sure if I'm going to make this deadline but I have yet to work out anything I'll do if I do reach it.

The Announcementsxxxxxxxxxxxx!xxxxxxxxxxxx

April 3rd, 2011 I'm adding the Weight Watchers Points program to my format now which means for some changes. I don't want to count calories but I figure this is an easy way to keep track of my food and it'll help me more than just trying to eat healthy, right? Hopefully. So my format is now changed!

The Formatxxxxxxxxxxxx!xxxxxxxxxxxx

I'm posting this here for convenience. Not too far out there but if anyone wants to use it I say go ahead . . . but you may want to change the colours.

It seems you're on the right track. Don't be discouraged if your weight loss isn't instant. It's better to have slow weight loss and keep it off than instant that comes back. heart

The Actor Biography

Observations: I'm pretty glad I lost almost a pound since my last weigh in. I actually feel like I'm going to make it which is silly because it's 2 pounds in a month. I should be able to make it. I'm going to have to get up early more and more if I want to keep going down though. I'm starting to not mind anymore. Makes for a good day. Can't wait until I can actually take my dogs for a run in the morning though. That'll have to wait til the weather warms up though. . .

If you're getting up earlier, go to bed earlier too. Getting enough sleep is crucial to weight maintenance.
