Adventures in Weight loss

I looked in the mirror oneday and went WHOA!! what happened ? size 38 246.7# oh man I don't want to go buy new clothes, I never weighed this much before, what the heck am I gonna do. I quit smoking about a year and a half ago and had gained about 45#. I don't like diets they don't work, I know diet pills are not the answer, I know if I start smoking again I will lose the weight yuck. OK so whats the solution? I watch a show on E about diet fads and their perils, the last segment of the show they have 2 ladies on talking about this web site http://www.sparkpeople.com
So ok I go check it out

Long story short one month later now and 10.4# lighter well on my way to my goal of being down to 200# by June. I read my Daughters blog today and see she is gonna run a 5k in June, that is gonna be a really good month for this family.

The thing I really like about spark people is its not just diet its lifestyle changes, there is alot of help there alot of support and you can customize it to fit you, oh and the best thing is its all free, not a free trial but free, free, free.

so lots of exciting things happening, now if i could just quit working so many hours it would be really good.
