The Biggest Loser.....Hopefully

Ok, as most of you know I've been sick since Thanksgiving. Well I went to the doctor in December and got some rather startling news. No, I don't have some rare desease, although I don't think these bozo's could diagnose it even if I did. Actually it was my weight that was so startling. I haven't had my weight taken in at least a year. I was 309 lb. That is the highest I've ever been or ever will be, because I decided that I needed to make some major changes. I set my mind to lose the weight. My goal is to be below 180 lb by next February/March. To help me get a good start I joined the Discovery National Body Challenge, and so far so good. This month I've lost 21 lb! I'm really happy about it, but I've got a long way to go. The Challenge is 8 weeks long and I'd like to lose 30 lb during the challenge. Kari has also joined me and is doing really well too, but I'll let her tell you about that. I've tried losing weight before but this time something is different. Before I've dieted, but this time it's about changing the way I live, eat and think. Maybe it's just me getting older, but I'm actually enjoying it. Although I really miss pizza!

later...
