This is it!

There is no going back now. I went on a diet (weight watchers) and an excersize plan ( You've Gotta Start Somewhere!! ) last Thursday and I am determined to get down to my goal weight by my birthday. I am laying it all out here to keep myself accountable. I figure, if y'all know, then y'all will keep bugging me about it, right?
So I started at 171.5 (yikes!) and I hope to be at 135 by May 28th so that Memorial Day weekend we can spend the night down in Grapevine Mills shopping for my new wardrobe :) Oh, and Jason will get to go golfing too...it's part of the bargain LOL I'll weigh in on Thursday's or Friday's depending on my mood and post updates for you.


Now here's the really embarrassing part...before pictures:

ugh...can't believe I just made those public!


It's less than 2 pounds a week, so it can be done. I WILL accomplish my goal!

WAHOO for you!! As someone who's battled weight their entire life I completely understand. I wish I were your starting weight, if that makes you feel better! I have a ways to go to even reach that. But, like you, I am trying. It's all one day, sometimes one hour, at a time. Just remember to be thankful to your body for the AWESOME job it's done for you. Your sons are proof of the miracle it generates. We're starting the Biggest Loser at work (weigh in is today). I'm sending you a big hug and know you can do it!

Good job Katie, it takes a lot of guts to put all that out there and to be held accountable!!! Less than two lbs a week is totally doable. I am right there with ya. If I can do about 1.5lbs a week I will hit my goal in May too!!! We can do it together!! Keep each other motivated and on track!!! Thanks for the inspriation!
