Well, it has been a very long time since I have blogged here.  I have to admit that I came across another site that I really liked.  I did think that I should update my progress here though, so everyone knows that I did not give up.  The last time I blogged was in August of 07 and I was about 209 lbs.  Now I am 182.5.  I have kept up with Weight Watchers and the gym.  I have also started doing exercises (cardio, light weight and core exercises) in my home too.

I am hoping to hit the 160's by April of this year.  There is a really great reward waiting for me if I hit that mark on time! (Hell, I might get the reward if I don't hit the mark, but it will make it a lot more special!)  I will update my photos with a picture of me at 256 and one of me now.  I have to say that my DH, family and friends are so proud of my progress (as I am myself!)  I can see my ultimate goal of 140 (or less) in the distance.  I can't believe that back in Nov of '06, I NEVER thought that I would see "One"derland, never mind, being closer to my goal weight then my starting weight. 

I can tell you this, come Hell or high water, I will NEVER be over 200 lbs again!  I was miserable with myself at that weight.  I was always tired, depressed and I hated to even look at myself in the mirror, never mind taking a picture.  I was always hiding behind someone or something so I could camouflage myself a bit.  Now I really do not mind pictures.  Yes, I am still heavy but not like I was.  I have come to love myself again.  I love all the energy that I have for my DD, DH and myself!

I promise to keep a more frequent update here.
