Day one of my journey

Me when I was at a healthy weight of  175
Today is the first day of my journey. I was talking to my wonderful husband last night and I showed him a picture of what I looked like when I was a Senior in high school. When I was younger I was always a bit overweight then my step-mom at the time decided to go do Weight Watchers and I asked if I could too. She said yes and I got my weight down to 175. In my mind that's when I looked the best, my back didn't hurt as much and I had a lot more energy.


175 for me is a size 12 pants and a large or maybe extra large shirt.


Now I am 8 years older and at a weight of 271 pounds. I am not proud of that and I am not happy.
At 271 lbs that is size 22-24 pants and 2xl or 3xl shirt.


 My husband and I are trying to get pregnant and I think I am having infertility problems because I am too over weight. My back always hurts as do my knees. My husband and I live in Germany right now and in one year we are going to PCS. If your not sure what that means its military lingo to move :) I cant wait to find out where we are going to go. I am just ready to get back to the states.


So here are my goals:
My biggest goal is to loose 100 lbs by the time we PCS. 
My small goals are to loose 8-10 lbs a month.
My weekly goals are to loose 2-3 a week


Wish me luck! Here goes to new beginnings!

    Thanks Cope! I love you too! I am at my heaviest right now and Clifton prompted me to set a goal for myself to lose weight so he can have his wifey back and not a depressed wifey. I was looking through some pics and yeah I remember that I was my smallest my senior year so that's what I am trying to go for. I am proud that your trying to loose weight as well I am rooting for you! I miss you so very much!

    Go Jamie! I am not saying you are not beautiful but I agree. There comes a point where your body tells you that it is hurting. Plus you get depressed! I completely understand what you mean!! My heaviest was after I had Leslie. I didn't even want to have to get up and play with the boys because I was too tired. I was always depressed especially when I couldn't fit into anything. Anyway, a year ago I changed my whole attitude. I even started a workout blog (which I can send you an invite too since it's private). I have had a slow weightloss but it is going steady and I haven't gained back. I actually use this site called www.myfitnesspal. I would recommend it to help you. You can also find people on there that either you know or that have the same goals. I'd say only 10 of my friends on there are people I know. The rest I've "met" on there but are supportive! Check it out and you can add me as a friend look under Spayne_4@hotmail.com. Can't wait to see your progress! I miss you making me laugh!

    Thanks Silvia and Steven I miss you guys so very much! I miss your smiling faces everyday! I know what you mean about not wanting to do anything and not wanting to get dressed everyday because you cant fit into your clothes. I am in that same boat I have 3 pairs of jeans and I hardly ever get dressed in them because they don't fit and my shirts haven't in a VERY long time! I am proud of you for your weight loss journey! I hope I am able to loose the weight by next Feb or at least get pregnant those are my two hopes. I miss you! Take care! Love you guys!
