How Do I Even Begin To Lose Weight?!?!

That's the part that scares me the most. How do I lose weight? Can I commit to it and actually see results? In the past year alone I have gone on THREE "diets" and at the most I have lost 5 pounds. I lost more weight when I got a stomach virus last October and couldn't eat or drink anything except for water for a week and a half, but instantly gained it all back when I felt better and could eat again. Right now I am 206 pounds although the scale says a different weight (two to three pounds higher or lower) every time that I weigh myself. I have been between 200 and 205 pounds for the past year. I am thankful that my weight hasn't gone up anymore, but I am no longer okay with being this weight, not only is it not healthy, but I don't feel very good about myself anymore. At my healthiest and happiest weight I was 150. I remember thinking I was fat at the time. I don't know why, but as I gained weight I realized that I had been very healthy and I just didn't notice it. I have two pictures one of me right out of high school when I was 150 pounds and one at my current weight that was taken this past Mother's Day.

When I started college and stopped working I began to have later nights with less sleep, more junk food and lounging around. I wasn't moving and I wasn't eating healthy and it really changed my metabolism and my weight. Today I am making a promise to myself that I will lose 50 pounds by July or sooner by eating healthy and exercising at least 4 to 5 days a week. I will do daily posts saying what I ate and what my workout routine was, I will also post inspirational videos and quotes. I plan to create a great workout playlist that I will link to on 8tracks so that if you are trying to lose weight and get healthy you can listen to it too (or if you just want to listen to some awesome music :D). I will also have weekly weigh-ins so that we can easily track our progress from day to day. It is 11:18 on Sunday so I will begin tomorrow. I look forward to getting healthy and feeling better. Thank you in advance to everyone that supports me. It means a lot!
