The beginning of my journey

I am embarking on another weight loss journey. This is probably the millionth time I have tired to lose weight. Some of those times I have been successful, others I have failed miserably.

Let me start from the beginning....

I was always a chubby kid and the chub followed me into high school. During my 10Th grade year, I am not exactly sure what happen, either the lack of eating or my metabolism started working and I lost a major amount of weight, about 60 pounds . I keep the weight off until my sophomore year of college, that is when I met my Beloved. By the end of my sophomore year I gain a lot of weight, not that it was my Beloved fault, I just got comfortable. I lost weight and gained weight on and off through the final two years of college. Once I married in 2001 I was 140 pounds, since I had two children and my weight topped over 210 when I was pregnant with my first child. Now I sit here with a 8 week old little girl and a beautiful 2 1/2 year old son and weighing 177 pounds.

And now....

I am starting another weight loss journey-hopefully my last. I am planning on a 20 week weight lost plan and hope to drop 35-40 pounds. My short term goal is 20 pounds by April 30Th. By the end of this, I hope I have learned to eat healthier and take care of myself. I want to do this but I do lack the will power so as a little incentive my Beloved and me have entered into a competition, the person with the least amount of weight loss each week gets stuck doing the household chores. And to make it even more fun we have challenged my sister and brother-in-law. At the end of 10 weeks the couple with the most weight loss(%) gets a dinner of their choice on the others cost.

So let the games beginning...and I plan to document everything so see hope I have progressed.
