It’s been quite the ride thus far. Ever since I set out to lose weight in March 2009, I’ve come a pretty long way. I vowed that this would be it for me, there would be no turning back. All of my “big” clothes are gone (mostly), with exception to my pregnancy clothes. All my excuses are (ahem, mostly) out the window. I feel I was successful because I blogged, quite publicly, what I was going through, and you all kept me accountable.
It’s with that knowledge I created this page, because again, I need to share publicly what I’m doing, because I have to re-lose everything I gained from being pregnant.
To continue with that tradition of sharing, I’m going to keep myself accountable by continuing to document my story here. Every so often I’ll weigh myself, measure myself, and update this page with all that important info. Pictures, too.
