Since this is the first post of the new year (bad me), I am taking this blog in a new direction. Sure, I will still post recipes of things I eat from time to time, but I also want to focus on my weight loss journey.
In September of 2005, I got married. I weighed about 142. I wasn't thin, still had boobs, but I was pretty much where I was comfy in my skin.
Fast forward to December, 2005. Just three months later, I was pregnant, and by the time I gave birth in August of 2006, I was almost 190 lbs. Yikes.
For the next three years, I hovered at about 160. This was unacceptable to me, but because I knew I would be getting pregnant again eventually, I never tried very hard to get the weight off. Lo and behold, in 2009, I became pregnant again, and was almost at the 200 lb mark when I gave birth in October.
Double yikes.
So, I enlisted a group of online girlfriends to begin a Biggest Loser competition. I have lost 24 lbs so far, and have another 30 I'd love to burn off. It's a daily struggle, which I will now share with you. Following is my current weight.
And following THIS, is my goal. Once I put it out there, I can't take it back. I can only work hard to make it happen.
Here it is: My goal is to lose 30 lbs in 23 weeks. That's about 1.3 lbs a week, which would put me at a slim 128.6. My lowest weight since I started college.
Can she do it? Stick around and we'll see........

WTG Trisha! Putting yourself out there isn't easy to do but it was the best thing I ever did! It forces you to really be accountable!! You can do this! You've got lots of cheerleaders behind you! :)
