6 months ago I weighed in at my heaviest of 326 pounds. I got married in December 2010 and my husband and I are determined to have a family. So, I set it to myself to lose some weight and have as healthy of a pregnancy as possible.

My first goal was to get below 300 pounds. This morning, I weighed in at 299. What an amazing feeling.. I feel so fulfilled and proud of myself for pushing this far. 6 months seems like a long time to only lose 27 pounds, but I'm confident that it's not coming back. This has been such a slow and steady race for me that I'm not even worried about how long it takes me... as long as it gets me there.

So tomorrow, I will adjust my ticker, as I have finally met my first goal. My next goal: 275 pounds..and I'd LOVE to meet it by my 1 year anniversary/Jamaica trip!

Not the best pictures..but they're okay. I'll start taking better ones lol
