There are times when I'm happy with how I look and in turn become complacent with what I eat. Sure, these times are usually after a really great workout session with Anthony, my personal trainer, but they're detrimental to my weight loss goals.

I believe the reason I haven't been as committed as I could be to reaching my goal weight is because I'm having a hard time facing the fact that I am in actuality overweight and as a result am putting a strain on my heart and general health. I realize that it's hard going it alone so I decided to join a community. Today I joined http://weight-loss.fitness.com.

I'm committed to the following:

1. Keeping a food diary. *edit: I'll just be keeping the information on my fitday.com account.

2. Sticking to my diet that includes the following items:
a. 100g of protein per day (Approximately 33g per meal or a 4 oz skinless chicken breast).
b. 25g of fiber per day ( Approximately 8g per meal or a Thomas's light english muffin).
c. 7 servings of fruits and vegetables (Approximately 2 servings of veggies per meal and a fruit snack or a salad before a meal and a fruit dessert after).
d. 2.2 liters of water per day.

3. At least 1 hour of exercise per day. Ideally a training run.

4. Posting daily on the weight loss forum.
