So here I am, trying yet another tool to help me lose the weight I've been dragging around for years. I've been too big for too long, and I'm tired of it! I'm a rennie,a nd have a fabulous group of fiends, I mean friends. They love me just as I am, but I'm afraid I don't anymore. I'm tired of being "the funny one". My good personality only gets me so far, I want my looks back, and I'm going to get there if I have to drag myself kicking and screaming!
The bodices that I wear at faire do a great job of highlighting some of my more positive assets, but I can look better. And I'd like to be known for more than just my "girls".
I'm doing weight watchers with some cardio and weight training, and I'm considering adding Alli to the mix. Hey, there's a coupon, what can I say? It can't hurt to try... I'll be sure to track my progress, tribulations and triumphs here.
So feel free to leave your comments and help keep me in line. If I discover the magic potion that transforms me overnight, I'll be sure to share it!

There's nothing like having people here to be accountable to each and every day!! And when you're feeling down, or unmotivated, it's great to just read through some other blogs. Let me know when you need a "pickmeup" and I'll turn you on to a couple of blogs to read that will inspire you!!
And girl, we have GOT to get together at Bristol this year!!
