Intro to Autumn!

Hello, everyone! Anyone? No one? Well, whatever! 

Here's my blog, here's my story! I have struggled with my weight for my entire adult life, and found myself at my very skinniest right after the birth of my oldest child. I lost so much weight after she was born, I was down 20 lbs from when I got pregnant. Yay! Maybe it was breastfeeding, or just healthier choices, but that was a good time! I was super confident and happy. Went on vacation to Spain, and looked pretty skinny in most of the pictures! In Spain, I got pregnant with my son. I was much smaller during this pregnancy and assumed that all would go as it had with my daughter, I would lose 20lbs beyond my prepregnancy weight. I would be one skinny mama! Not so much, I never went back down to my starting weight. Yuck!

So my husband doesn't think I even need to lose weight, but he does like happy confident wifey, so he is certainly encouraging. But loves to tell me that I look fine and what am I so worried about? So glad that my 

relationship is not dependant on  the scale. I love this man!

So here I am, 177.9lbs. It's scary to write that, and even harder to admit that. However, I am thinking positively, and after I lose all of that weight, I know I will want to know where I started. I have read a lot about the healthiest way to do this, and believe that I am setting a reasonable goal for myself at about a pound a week. My method to lose will be to exercise regularly and change my diet to healthier choices. So to keep myself in line, I will be using this blog as a food diary as well.

A group of my and my close friends are starting a Biggest Loser group, and have a seperate tracking page to track our percentage of weight lost. I will be posting my weekly weigh-ins as well, all in order to keep myself accountable! So here it goes, wish me luck!
