This is me Christmas Day 2007. I'm biting the bullet so to speak. A couple of years ago, I lost weight and looked great. Unfortunately, I put it back on and then some. So, with the wedding coming up this summer I decided to lose weight and get healthy. (Zachary's wedding is my inspiration but not my reason.) It's going to be a long, slow process but well worth the effort. Hubby moved the treadmill and his crossbow upstairs yesterday and fixed up Jacob's old room complete with TV as an exercise room. He and Jacob both have said they'll help me stick to eating healthy and we'll exercise together. So, no excuses I've got support. I wanted to put it in writing so I'll be more apt to hold myself responsible. My goal is 38 pounds. I'm not using crazy diets or paying for food just plain common sense, nutrition and exercise. I will not starve, but learn to eat healthy foods. No more junk foods, candy, pepsi (my favorite), cakes, cookies, or bread (my other sinfully favorite). Most importantly, I have to learn why I stuff my face to begin with. I realize I pick up food (mostly candy and sweets) and I'm not even hungry. So, let the journey begin.
Father God, show me the reasons I overeat and help me deal with them and place them behind me. Help me not to be weak and when the temptation comes help me to be strong and patient with myself and others. Thank you for the support I have from my family.

Yay, Kim! You'll do great this year! I, too, have a son getting married this Spring. I announced this morning that today it D day... (diet day). Last spring I joined Weight Watchers and lost about 20 pounds, but need to re-lose about 10 of those!! Thanks for finding me... looks like we have a lot in common!
Hi from another North Carolinian! Good luck with your new blog! I'm trying the fiber 35 diet.
Our dog is really old and drives me insane too. He's just like an old man! LOL.
