First Post of 2008!

I know I'm not overly faithful about writing, but I wanted to post my picture from New Year's Eve. The photo will show 69.6 lbs lost and 49 inches lost. My one year Jenny Craig anniversary total is 74lbs. It could be more, but I'm really happy that I took control this year. I am ready to recommit to myself in 2008.

Last year at this time I was 318 lbs, scared and sedentary.
Today, I am 244 lbs, getting more fearless by the day and considered active thanks to 5 days of exercise a week. What a difference a year makes...

Under 250!!

I can't believe I've finally gotten under 250. The big block on the doctor's scale can move down. I have really wanted this to happen but it gives me mixed feelings. I know it is wonderful and I'm proud of what I have accomplished. I'm also really sad that I let myself get so out of control that I've needed to lose this much. I didn't realize that this weight loss journey would require quite so much soul searching and thinking. Definitely an involved process...

19 August 2007 - First Blog Ever!

Hi there - this is my very first blog ever!

I thought it would be fun to "journal" my weight loss efforts - and some of the rest of my life. Since I'm new to this everyone will need to be patient. I'll try to keep it interesting :-)

Let's start with my BEFORE picture. This is from 5 January 2007. I weighed 318 lbs.

Now for the most recent photo. This one is from 5 August 2007. I weighed 255.4 lbs. I have lost 39" overall.
Now for the good stuff. I wore a red dress, size 18/20 to a formal event this week. It is wonderful to be in smaller sizes and wearing red was a real step out for me. I think it looked really good.
