The pursuit of weightloss, 2010

My Best Friend from high school, Ms. Francine Rodgers, inspired me to get on the weight loss band wagon. To see her ups and downs, struggles and strengths, has allowed me to see that it is ok to share what goes on in ones life- no matter how personal it is. I too, have had issues with my weight for many years and will attempt this year to remove 60 pounds. My starting weight will be from today's scale weight of 228.0. That's the heaviest I've ever been (not including pregnancies). I have numerous goals that I want to accomplish this year. My goals are a) to lose 60 pounds by September 11th, 2010; b) go to the gym or work out at home at least 5 days a week; c) comfortably fit a size 12, maybe even a 10!!; d) inspire others!
