My weight loss journey!

I just finished reading 2 (supposedly) food blogs but with some incredible weight loss journeys of their own! I am now motivated to write down every bite thats going in to my mouth so I can keep a better track of my journey.
I was never thin to begin with. As long as my memory goes, I was always the fat kid but on certain occassions I tend to practice severe diets and loose huge amounts of weight to look good. But after a few years and 2 kids, my weight dangerously creeped up!
I am ashamed to admit that I weighed a whopping 234 pounds at my endocronologist appointment last month. To be precise, on the 22nd of May. I started walking at least 2 miles on the 23rd of May, great way to start another year in my life, 23rd May being my birthday and all, :-)
I started south beach diet tailored to my vegetarian needs on the 1st of June but both actions did not yield any results. Then on the 16th of June, I started a more rigorous mostly liquid high protein diet with Ragi malt, fat free milk (coz I was lactating at the time).
But I cannot sacrifice my daily fix of coffee and tea. So, I am having 2 to 3 cups of coffee with splenda and 1 cup of tea. Along with my 4 big glasses of ragi malt.
But then I was on the strict phase for about a week, I started nibbling the veggie sides my family is gobbling down at times. Now, for the past week, I find myself munching on roasted peanuts, steamed corn, a little more than allowed limits I put for myself.

Now, this morning I weighed 219.6 pounds. So, I am down close to 15 pounds and wish to loose 15 more by July 31st. If I stay as long on this, as an incentive, I will allow myself to sample the festive spread my mom will make on the varalakshmi vratham assosciation.
So, bear with me blogger and help me on this 20 day weight loss journey of mine that will begin on the 11th of July 2009.

Stay Tuned...
