Rude Awakening

After all of my workouts, I have had a rude awakening. I met with my father today. He has lost over 70 pounds by counting calories. He looks like a different man!! I know that I have talked about him before, but this was different. Diabetes (The Sugar), High-blood Pressure, and Obesity runs in my family. I know this, but I love food. What am I to do? I weighed myself...ugh yet again...I am at 186 pounds. I have been in this range for a long time. I workout and dance like crazy. I am losing inches. I know this because it shows...and people have noticed...but what am I doing wrong? Both of my siblings weigh less than I do, too. This is wonderful for them, but what am I doing wrong? I did the math I am 51 pounds overweight!!!! This is how much my son weigh!!!! Should I be worried? I believe so. So much so, I think that I am going to have to do something dramatic. I'm back to counting calories (grudgingly of course). I'm also increasing my output while decreasing my input. 

Goal(s): 
No fast food this week.
Breakfast everyday...even if it's a smoothie.
24 Hr. Workout schedule: Mon. & Tues. (Hip Hop), Thurs. (NIKE & Turbo), Sat. (Turbo & Zumba)
School Gym (MAC): 3 days (Mon./Wed./Fri.)

I know that this appears extreme, but I need to shock my body! Wish me luck! Or give me advice =-)
