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.
