"I am asking that we stop seeking out the storms and enjoy more fully the sunlight. I am suggesting that as we go through life, we 'accentuate the positive.' I am asking that we look a little deeper for the good. . Look for the sunlight through the clouds" -- President Gordon B. Hinckley ("The Continuing Pursuit of Truth," Ensign, Apr. 1986, 2-4).
So, this morning Clark and I weighed in to see a week’s result of our current weight goal. Well… at least we didn’t gain any more weight. We have remained the same.
So, for me - here is my current goal outline on FitDay.com :
Current Weight
Your weight is 175 lb as of 05/12/2008.Weight Goal
Your goal is to weigh 125 lb by 12/01/2008Goal Progress
You are currently 50 lb above the target weight.The deadline for your goal is 203 days (29 weeks, 0 days) away.
To meet your goal you need to lose about 1.72 lb per week.
It’s really easy to become discouraged, but I truly am grateful that we haven’t gained anything. I have observed my eating pie-charts on FitDay.com and have noticed that more days than not I had more Fat than Protein in my food choices. So this week’s goal is to keep my fat percentage lower than my protein percentage more days than not.
So here we go, week 2! Wish me luck! 
Thank you for helping me do what I love to do and reach my dream of being a full time writer!

Wow, now that’s a coincidence. I stopped by your site, and I’m glad I did. As of today I am beginning my ‘Live Happy, Live Healthy journey. I went to FItDay.com. Thanks for including that here on your site. I am tired. Tired of making excuses for myself to myself about my weight. I am 5′5”. So according to what I learned in the past. 100 pounds for the first 5ft, then 5lbs. for each inch over the 5 ft. –It’s been at least 4 years since I weighed 125. (I thought age played a big part, but that was just a ‘cop-out’ on my part.
So that best to you. May your goals come true.
Peace
Keep at it, keep at it. I joined weight watchers when Kate was a few months old and lost 22lbs in 10weeks, the thing it taught me was portion control, thats my biggest problem area, if we eat rice with dinner I need to measure out my 1/2 or 3/4 cup and not just spoon it on. You’ll succeed, stay positive.
