Starting Weight - Before Picture
Before I get started with progress reports, I figured I would post my current stats and pic. Each week I will post new stats and pics and hopefully if all goes well we'll all start to see the positive changes I am hoping for. 224lbs
Me and my girls New Years Eve 12/31/05 & My Main Page image is me 12/22/05 I was about 155lbs at the time both these pictures were taken. And although I was smaller I was not in very good shape. I never worked out, I never ate healthy. That is what I hope to change this time. Lose the weight by getting my body in shape and eating things that are good for my body, mind and soul.
This is me just yesterday. I had my daughter take a picture of me to show everyone else what I'm starting with **sigh** again. I've been in this spot so often. This will be the last time!!

I'll be heading to the gym here shortly and I need to pick up a measuring tape so I can take all the measurements above. At that point I'll fill them in.
I'll be posting later today on yesterdays regime.

Hey Amanda,
I want to applaud your bravery. I too am heading to thg gym today and I will be trying to loose weight, but I do not have the strength to post everything online. I think it would help me though, I would feel as if I might be letting my audience down if I did not succeed.
Anyway, just to let you know, I feel your pain and can relate.
Love,
Karen

Thank you so much Karen! That means so very much to me. Don't think I'm not incredibly embarrassed. I am. But I cannot let that stop me. After fighting with my weight off and on my entire life, even having my stomach stapled at age 22 and still being in this position at 35 feels so defeating. So, after a lot of thought I decided to share with all my weight and struggles to come.
I certainly don't expect it to all go smoothly. After all losing weight is never an easy task. And in the end if I can just inspire one other person to take the same path to change their life then I have accomplished something good in life.
Love ya too,
Amanda =)
