Many of you know that I used to do Weight Watchers. I was quite successful at it and lost around 82 lbs. This is the "before" picture that I use. Obviously I'm the one on the left. I was in my cousin's wedding and tipped the scale at 232 lbs. Yowzers! It took me a little over a year to get down to around 150 lbs. I maintained for about 8 
months and then I got pregnant with Tommi.
The best "after" picture I could find is the one of me in a dress that my grandma wore when she was my age. I was about 10 lbs. shy of reaching my goal at that point. You get the idea.
Well. Here I am again needing to encourage some lb's to find a new home. That's where you come in. I have to be held accountable. So, I'm going to keep track of my progress occasionally on this here blog. I'm going to break the mother of all "women's secret rules" and post my weight. Yes, for the whole blogging world to see. I know, I know. Sorry ladies, it's for the sake of the better good. Or at least mine.
Funny though, that doesn't seem nearly as hard to me as what I'm about to show you now...
*cough* *choke* *gag* Wow! AAHHH!!! I'm having trouble breathing. Okay, in, out, in, out. I'm better now.
This is just not the body that I've been seeing in the mirror for the last (let's see, Tommi is how old???) 26 months. I had KMac take these pictures of me today before we went to the YMCA. Boy was I a little surprized to see what my little digital screen showed me. It said, "ha, ha" right to my face. So, that was it. No more will I be mocked by a stinking digital camera. Today is the beginning of the end. No more waving underarms long after you've stopped waving. No more wearing maternity shirts. No more butt-in-front. No more late night dates with a cake and a fork. Darn, I'm really going to miss that one!
Today I start the journey...again...to 150.
What's that you ask? What did I weigh in today at? Thanks for reminding me (not really).
Today I hit the scale at..............exactly..................not a pound over..................drum roll please..................sorry again ladies for breaking this sacred rule..............................
200 lbs.
Whew. It's out. Now I really have to get on the ball. An exercise ball that is. Ha.
