Welcome-Weight Loss

Welcome to my first blog post. My name is Nikki Phillips and I am a 23 yr old housewife. So to jump in I am pretty new to this blogging thing, but this is a personal blog to keep up with my weight loss/goals and a few other things. Right now I am currently 249. I've been struggling with weight loss for a long time (since I was around 13) and my journey has been up and down. I weighed myself about a month and a half ago and I was 264. I have been heavier and I have been less than what I am currently. But this is where I am starting to keep track. So, right now 249. My diet is a simple one, usually 1 or 2 meals a day, mostly consisting of ramen noodles. Oh, the poor peoples diet. No ones friend, but never the less it is what I have. But I do plan on eating healthier foods including tons of fruits, veggies, and protein. I am not the type of girl that as soon as I decide to go on a diet goes out and buys a ton of FAT FREE or diet crap. Sorry, thats not me. I refuse to substitute real Ranch dressing for fat free dressing that DOES NOT taste the same and is more expensive. I think that portion control is crucial in weight loss. Everything is ok in moderation. The only thing that I do get that is considered "diet food" is crystal light, because I am unfortunately a diabetic and I think this is a more healthy alternative to kool-aid. The less sugar I consume the better. Hopefully once my fridge is restored to it's maximum capacity I will be able to update weekly/daily meals, and weekly weigh-ins.
