In the beginning

I am overweight and although I don't let it show, I hate it. I want to look good, feel good, and know that I've done everything I can to live a long and healthy life. I want to play with my kids without feeling tired. I want to go on any vacation that we want without being self conscious about my appearance. I want to go shopping and actually enjoy it.

This blog is my accountability. I will succeed at this life change. I want to. I have to. I have no choice.

Pictures to come soon...what could be more effective at keeping me motiviated than seeing pictures of myself?

Oh, and my husband will be joining me on this adventure. He doesn't know it yet, but he is. :) He doesn't have as much to lose physically, but with his family history of high blood pressure, diabetes, strokes, and heart attacks, he has more to lose than anyone.
