Ok I have decided I want to make a personal blogging diary of my weight loss adventure.  I have done blogs before but not the best at keeping up daily routines.  So this wont be an every day type blog, but more like once a week.

About ME.
Im 48 years old.  I am now an Empty Nester officially. My son moved back to Idaho, so now both of my kids live in their own places over there. I am in Lovely Bellingham Washington, going to college to get a degree, and my husband of 22 years is also going to college to get His degree.

We have 4 chihuahuas.  Nuts.  Crazy.  Fun.  Chaotic.  Need I say more? 

I started using Loseit.com one month ago, September 4, 2012.  I have already lost TEN pounds. My starting weight was 259, and I am a short woman of 5 feet and 4 inches.  That means I was wearing a snug size 24.

We bought a gym membership for 3 months, with our student discount, we have access to classes and the pool as well as raquet ball and the workout stations.  And the sauna and jacuzzi!  OY I am in love!

My GOAL is to be 150 pounds again.  I have been overweight for far too many years and I need to do this for myself to become a healthier person and maybe get off the medications I take for diabetes, hypertension, cholesterol.

Here are my BEFORE pics.  Not fancy by any means, shows alot of skin but all the proper areas are covered well.
