The game, most certainly, is on....

It is day one and Chris and I have already fought about food. Before our first meal. I wanted 3 eggs; he said 2 was enough.

I am definitely the weak one. About everything - food, spiders, etc. Every time we try to diet, I get emotional about the process and we end up giving up. But I reached a point this week when I just decided that enough was enough.

I have stuggled with my weight my entire life. I remeber being on Weight Watchers with my mom before I was 10. I was thinnest in high school...but I was definitely not healthy. Since then, I've had several bouts of depression and each time gained quite a bit of weight. I have also been fairly inactive since we closed our business in 2006.

My goals for the weight loss challenge are:

• lose weight (duh)


• look like this picture but still manage to live healthy


• develop habits to permanently change my life

How I plan to accomplish these goals:

• eat 1500-2000 calories a day


• use the Treadmill and Bowflex we have that are currently collecting dust while home alone


• Biggest Loser Workout videos with Chris


• enjoy being active (hopefully this will come with time)
