This is me Day one with all my rolls and bumps. I am doing my best to get healthier and to my goal weight of 150 lbs. I have to lose around 70 lbs. How long will it take who knows but I am determined to be happy in my skin. I am tired of looking in the mirror and being disappointed in what I have done to myself. Yes myself no one is the blame but me. I have watched all these weight loss programs and wish I could go on one but why I said when you can do it too right in the comfort of your home. Yes I did this once I lost 50 lbs in 2010 but gained some back but not all. I  like others got bored and craved my favorite foods that I was depriving myself of and yes stopped exercising. So now I am starting again this time with a great support system on sparkpeople and facebook. I know my friends will keep me accountable and I will do the same for them. That is one good tool to have a good support system. I also have some goal clothes in my closet that I am determined to get into and hopefully will get past them too. Why did I quit you ask? I joined a group at the Y and they were fantastic but life got crazy with my mother's death and my husband being in the hospital at the same time. I would weigh in every week and would gain or maintain. I was doing the same thing before exercising and eating right but stress can  have an affect on your weight loss. So now here we go again I will be doing it again and I hope you will enjoy my journey and hope it will help motivate others to get healthy. I will do my best to post blogs along with pictures with my meals and my exercising.
