This will be yet another one of my new series. I'm going to start a two month weightloss challenge! I am so unfit and overweight, that it's bringing me down whenever I go to shopping for new clothes. I always have to find the largest size in a store that sells smaller clothes. It's intimidiating. So, in order to become healthier, I've decided to do this!
So this is what the plan consists of. It basicaly consists of posting stuff as I continue on a healthy lifestyle and a regime of exercising daily.
