Introduction and Goals

My name is Jackilyn, I am 23 years old and this is my weight loss journey. I decided to start a blog to help hold myself accountable. Starting tomorrow, once a week I will post a video blog, but everyday there will be an update on my progress. Some days this will read like a journal, other days it will read like a report. This is something that is very hard for me because I am extremely self conscious, so please bear with me and try to keep your comments constructive but not mean.I would appreciate that. I will try to do my video blogs without makeup or hair done so that you can really see my progress. I am going to start by posting my goals and some starting information.

Progress so far

On February 16th, a week after my miscarriage, I weighed 294 lbs (Admitting that is NOT something that came easily for me). On Saturday, March 16th I weighed 276.5 lbs. Yesterday, March 19th I weighed 271.8 :) This is with minimal exercise and I just began my "diet" on Saturday,so I am hoping that once I increase my exercise I will see even better results than I already have! 

I'll have to update my inches tomorrow because I am at the hospital with my grandparents and no measuring tape. :)

This is it for update number one!
