Default Guess whose back, back again?

Well here we go again ladies and gents. I first came to 3FC in 2004 when I was 21 years old. I blossomed up to a fabulous (sarcasm) 220 lbs after my mother passed away, and finally managed to lose about 50 lbs when I overheard my sisters comment on how much weight I had gained (Nothing like a little family motivation...right).

Now, years later I am a college graduate in a new city with my fiance. Lovely. With no job (due to this marvelous econonmy), and no more walking around campus I have managed to climb back up to that 220. Great. I guess this whole 220 thing is when I say enough is enough.

I think I went from my size 14 jeans to 18 in 5 months...who does that?

Well who knows, but here we go again. I am definetly determined to be a healthy size before I ever walk down an aisle (I'm not hoping for miracles here).

I am meeting my fiance's father in March and although that's not very far away, I would like to feel better about myself before I get up there.

I can definetly use any advice any of you have for me. I'd like to keep the weight off this time (don't we all).

Oh, and my weakness has to be Iced Chai Tea and Chocolate Ice Cream.
