So, it's the first day of January 2008 ... the first day of a new year. And here I am...probably at my heaviest weight ever in my life.
In the last year I have been diagnosed with high blood pressure, diabetes, a few other minor things and a major back problem.
Most of these things are able to be controled simply by my very own self choosing a healthy lifestyle. That lifestyle would enclude low fat, low sugar types of foods and daily exercise.
Yet, here I sit on my rather large backside, talking about it. I have been talking about it for months...maybe ever a whole year and a half now.
So, this is my year. I have decided that I am going to work my rather large butt off...with exercise and healthy choices. I am going to use weight watchers again, because that has worked for me in the past, and by the end of this year, I am gonna be sixty pounds lighter than I am now.
I know that if I stick with it and do my very best I will have results. Those results will allow me to be a better wife and mother, sister and friend.
Happy NEW YEAR, NEW YOU!

Good Luck!
I think that by winning the mental battle you are half of the way there. By deciding to change your life (not just your body!) you are taking the first steps step to reaching your goal. I'm just beginning as well, and this isn't the first first time that I've battled the bulge either, but I'm feeling pretty good about 2008 also, good luck with your journey!
I am so glad you are back! Don't even worry about what the number on the scale says, just start doing a little bit to change it.. and even if it gets hard try to stay with us.. April and I missed you! Neither I nor April have done perfect in the last year, but in 2008 we are going to do our best just to get the scale doing down. We are not having set expectations, because we know that those dont always work out.. so we are just trying to be lighter by this time next year.... so glad you are ready to do this with us
