For the new year I resolved to lose weight, 30 lbs. to be exact.  I did my first weigh in on Jan 5 and was 217 lbs.  Today marks 3 weeks since I started my diet and I am now at 204 lbs.  A tidy 13 lbs off.  I can already feel and see the difference.

In conjunction with my personal new year’s resolution, I encouraged my readers to start using a budget.  I was curious to know if anyone tried getting a budget started or if anyone had questions about budgeting?  If you haven’t started a budget this year, now is the time.  I tried to be pretty comprehensive in my explanations of how to budget so check out my budget category if you are new or want to start budgeting today.
