I’m so happy to see that you are posting again. I sent you a comment back in May. We are so similar in our situations - I’m 51 and 217 pounds. Going back and reading your previous blogs is like reading my own journals. I don’t have a blog yet - maybe I need to do that to have some accountability. I have managed to lose NO weight since that post in May. All summer I kept telling myself that I was going to get SERIOUS about losing weight beginning August 1. Well, a couple of weeks have gone past and I’m still in the same spot. It just seems so hopeless. I have until my daughter’s wedding on July 31, 2010 to finally make some changes and get rid of this weight. This should be the ultimate motivation since I hate pictures and I don’t think there’s anyway (as mother of the bride) that I can avoid them. I should be looking forward to her wedding and all I can think about is those damn pictures! Anyway, I look forward to following your journey and I’m hoping that we can both do this together!
