Time to remotivate

A few years ago, I weighed 200 lbs and lost about 60. Over the last few years, I have let about 30 lbs or so, creep back on.

In a few months, I will be the ripe old age of 30 and as a present to myself, I am going to get the weight back off.

Before, I did weight watchers with great success. Unfortunately, I didn't keep all the lessons going - hence the weight came back on
This time, I have using weight watchers as well as a book "Never Say Diet" by Chantel Hobbs.

I have spent the last couple of months getting the habit of excercise developed. Now is the time to get going with food and accountability.

In an effort to be accountable,I will periodically post pictures for the world to see as I get through this struggle. Thanks to all those who will be cheering for me. Especially John, who will have to live with me!

August 2, 2009 Weight 170.2 lbs - Let's get started!
