Oh, my avatar is my favorite athlete, Lokelani McMichael. I am hoping after I lose another 10 or 15, I will look a little more chiseled like her. I really started dieting when I was 184 pounds on April 7, 2008. The first almost 20 just melted off after I had my son. I thought I looked fine until I saw a pic of myself (seems to be the breaking point for a lot of women). I started WW at home (I didn't want to pay for the program because I felt I was pretty strong willed already -- I would rather spend that cash on new jeans).
I started walking that very same day for about 45 minutes every night. Now I jog every night for about 45 minutes to an hour if I am not already playing ball. I am in the best shape I have been in since I was 23 (I'm 28 now). I had never been successful at losing weight before. WW has been a huge weight off my shoulders, literally. It is just very easy for me to stick with. I even cheat and pizza once or twice a month. Well, it's not cheating if you stay within points. I just don't beat myself up for too long for cheating because the next meal is a new chance to start fresh.
The first pic is from two weeks ago. I have lost about five more pounds. The second pic is from the day I started the diet. Don't you love my belly hanging out. That pic makes me laugh now.
