| On 12/8/02, I went to the doctor for a checkup and when I stepped on the scale to see that I had reached 202 (the heaviest I have ever been). I made the desicion then to change my life. I wasn't going to live my life fat anymore! I couldn't gain anymore weight! It was putting way too much pressure on my lower back and if I continued to gain weight, I would not be able to have children in the future... On my last weigh-in on 1/18/03, I weighed 189. Let's see what next week's weigh in will bring! |

| I have worked really hard this week, I have been to the gym everyday but Monday (only because my ankle wasn't fully healed). I spend 30-35 minutes on the Stationary Bike, 15 minutes of light stretching and Yoga Postures, and about 10-15 minutes of light weights (working on my upper body). I weigh in tomorrow morning, I just hope that all of this ahrd working itsn't goint to be for nothing. I am drinking alot more water now. I was addicted to Mountain Dew and Pepsi for a long time. I will post my weigh in tomorrow with another journal entry. |

| I weighed in at 188 this morning. One pound loss from last week. Hopefully I will NOT gain any...I know my body is getting used to me working out, and actually putting my body in motion. Not just sitting in front of the TV or computer all day. I just hope that I can lose more than just one pound a week! I wish that I didn't have to go through this alone though. I wish I had someone to exercise with, ya know...someone to push me that extra 5 minutes on the bike, or another 5 reps with the weights. Maybe I will find that person. But until then, I am alone in my workouts. |

| This week has been really great. People are noticing the working I am doing, I am in a MUCH better mood all the time, and I, just over all, feel better in my cloths. I am up to 3-4 glasses of water a day. When someone talks to me, I smile...I actually feel pretty...even without make up, and all sweaty in my workout clothes... |

| I weighed in on Friday instead of Saturday and I am 186.5 now...1.5 lbs loss from last week!!! I haven't really noticed any size loss until today. I have this dress that I wore as a maid of honor in my sisters wedding...it was kind of snug...but I wore it anyways...I have a picture of me in that dress about 4 months before I started working out...So, I thought...why not put on the dress again and see how it looks...IT WAS AWESOME!....the little pooch i had where the dress was hugging my lower abdomen is gone! I am going to keep working hard at this...I HAVE TO! |

| I know its been awhile! It's been really stressful these last couple of weeks. (Personal reasons) I am also packing to move this Friday. I am down to 182.4 as of this morning! WHOOPIE! I will have to see what is in store later on. I am going to keep it up. I am really seeing difference in some old pictures of me then and now. |

| I have been really busy and unable to post. I joined Curves for Women about a month ago. I get measured and weighed on Friday. I can't wait! I want to see what kind of progress I have made! I am in a much happier place in my life and I think I am a healthier person by what I think! I hope I keep this feeling! |
