Number One

My name is Jessie. This is my first blog and I'm not sure how everything works yet. But I have been reading other weight loss blogs for a few months and they have been so very helpful. I decided to join the community.
I started losing weight in august. My highest weight was 314 and today my scale told me I am 260. It feels great and I want to keep going. I am hoping this blog helps. I joined the gym in august (love it) and I have been eating healthy but every little bit helps.
My long term goal is to get under 200 maybe 180. I haven't been at that weight since junior high, lol maybe middle school. I have always been the biggest girl in the room or at least it feels that way.
My short term is to lose 40 pounds in 21 weeks. I started this last week. The week this ends I am going on vaca with my family and I want to look awesome. This is two pounds a week and I would be 221 by the end of July. I can do it. This week I lost three pounds and it feels awesome.
I am pretty shy and very body conscious....something I am also working on. Tonight I tried something new. I went to a zumba class!!!!!! I am so proud of myself and suprise suprise!!! I had fun.....let me say that again. I HAD FUN!!!! I felt clumsy and couldnt get some of the steps right but who cares I kept moving, knowing that I was burning calories. I hope I make it back next thursday.
Wow that is a lot of info for one day. I think I leave it at that. Good night.
