Desire to succeed

I am back on track. This time I chose to wait until I had been on track for a week to post. :)
I have been following a 1200 or less calorie diet and going to the gym Monday through Friday for an hour workout. So far the diet has been going real well and the workout is phenomenal. I love the gym due to its accessibility to so much equipment. I was hesitant to join a gym before due to past experiences where I would join and never go but this time the motivation is there along with the desire to succeed.  
I weighed in at 174 this morning. I did not do any measurements as of yet. I plan to make it a monthly thing this time and I will measure and post them when I feel I'm in the right frame of mind to not get depressed by the results.
My goal this time is simple. I just want to be the best me I can be. If I am healthy and happy with myself then all is good.
