Day One on the weight loss jounery

Hi I am Halie!

I am working on losing weight. Like I said in the video I am doing it for my health, for a dress for a friend's wedding, for my own self image of myself. I am 248 depending on the time of day. (has gone up and down 5 pounds though the day. I weighed myself at 2pm ish)

Now, I have reduced my calories, started to do some excercises. And want to get into shape. I kinda have to break habits of sitting on my bed eating chocolate doing swagbucks.com and such. I have to get into a work out routine. So if you have suggestions on what work outs I can do, please let me know.

I also don't eat any meat besides poultry. I can't touch mint of any kind but if you know anything healthy for me to eat, I would love to know about it. Fruit is expensive and I so wish to get it. why is it expensive?

I am a size 20 in pants now. I want to be down to a size 16 for the wedding at least so I can fit into a nice bridesmaid dress for my friend's wedding (saw awesome ones on amazon.com)

I plan on joining a gym soon. I just need to find the right gym for me, location and all that gym stuff. And I got to get over my phobia of being seen working out. As a huge reason I don't work out is due to the fact I always feel like people are staring at me working out. (that also means, no work out videos from me. Haha)

So yeah I ask of you all to help me in losing weight. Encourage me, Give me ideas, join swagbucks.com using my swagname (Halie2004) to help me get up points to earn free gift cards so I can buy healthy foods easier, and/or buy stuff from me Trahe Creations to help fund me and my attempts to lose weight and better my life.

Thank you. Whatever you do I will appericate!
