YUCK!!

So this ought to be motivation enough! Here's my starting picture....

I gained no weight yesterday, nor lost any... Okay, I'm lying... I gained .2... So now my starting weight is 200.8 Probably due to eating most of the rest of Brian's birthday cake. You'd think that breaking our expensive knife while cutting it would have been a clue! Onward I go - I had a fiber bar this morning and will try to stay healthy today! I've got to, I mean......

Ugh, I still look 6 months pregnant, only lumpier! The next pictures will be better- I promise!

Starting Stats...

Okay, so it's painful to post your weight on the web for all to see - but that will be the motivation! So months from now we can all look back and laugh at the number you see....
200.6... That's right, you heard (read) me correctly. I don't have a great starting picture- I'll have my husband take one tonight.
Goal - 150. I'd like to lose 10 lbs a month. A little optimistic maybe, but I can do it. Maybe I should just start one month at a time...
My goal for January - 10 lbs. There. It's done. Only down from here!

Introduction...

So, I'd say it's all baby-weight... But really, it's not. It's french fries, and ice cream... and mostly cheese! But, I did just have a baby (4 months ago) and so it seems it's somewhat socially acceptable that I'm still fat. But, I'm disgusted with myself, so it's time to move on.
Rather than joining one of the weight loss programs I have in the past, this time I want to focus on the journaling. They say that writing down what you eat is part of the "magic" of Weight Watchers. I loved Weight Watchers and was really successful on it (until baby number 2 took over my body.) This time, I don't have the money or time to go - so here's my solution.
I'm not going to publicly send this blog out to everyone I know, but if you find it, feel free to follow my journey.
My name is Katie and I have 50.6 lbs to lose. I would like to weigh 150 and I know it might take awhile, but it needs to happen. I want my two boys to grow up with a healthy mom who can run and play with them, and a mom who sets good eating examples. My Wii Fit says I'm obese, so it's time to get serious. I'm unhealthy and I'm ready to move on.
If nothing else, I'll post my food choices, and my weight each day. Well, maybe not each day, but regularly. I can post my thoughts, feelings, and frustrations, and maybe just maybe, it'll help me get my butt moving!
