....I was over weight, unmotivated, unfit and inspired. Yep, you guessed it. Yet another blog about a fat chick's personal journey into thindom. At least I hope that's what this will turn out to be. It's a blog about my personal journey somewhere, and Lord willing it will be down the scale not up!

So, I will post all vital stats later - prolly tomorrow - but for now let's estimate my big number at 280, an all time high for me, and go from there.

I was inspired to do this because of Pasta Queen's blog. If she can lose half of who she was, I can do it too! My goal weight is 150, and I'm quite certain that is a doable number because as recently as 15 years ago (is that really recent? eh, no matter, that's when it was) I weighed 155. My favorite compliment when I was that thin? My dad giving me a hug and complaining there wasn't anything there to hug! I still have the size 10 jeans that I wore during this period of my life. Three years ago my father said he didn't think I could ever lose enough to fit in them again. Those are the goal jeans. Hmm, maybe I should post a pic of them, too. Not a bad idea. I will be going hog wild with the camera tonight. Not a bad thing, will keep me from going hog wild on the food!

How do I propose to make this dramatic change in my life? I'm taking a multi-front attach mentality here. Water, water, water, controlled portion sizes, less junk food, and MOVEMENT! I sit at a desk 8-9 hours a day, and I look like it!

So, today is the first day of the rest of my life, my January first, or whatever other cliche you care to use, But I'm doing it this time! Right? Anyone? Please let me know you're out there and going to hold me accountable! :)
