OK. time to fess up....

As the year 2008 opened, my weight was fluctuating between 223 and 225 pounds.

I plan to spend this year being healthy and getting active. I can't continue to carry all this weight around. 20 years ago when I graduated from highschool, I weighed 90 lbs less than I weigh right now. Losing 90 lbs isn't in my plan for right now, my goal is to lose 50 pounds, and to enter 2009 at 175 lbs. It isn't an unrealistic goal, just a pound a week, but as a busy mom of 9 who uses food as a cureall for anything that bothers me, it is going to be tough.

3 of my cyber friends have joined me on my journey, Nadine, Stephanie, and Tracy. Having them to vent and gripe to may just be what I need. We shall see!
