Before and Halfway through

This is me at 255 pounds. This picture is what made me decide to lose weight.

This is me at 200 pounds, halfway through my journey. I seem to have hit a plateau (ok, I got lazy, not tracking food or exercise or anything.) My kids took this picture of me as I was helping a friend out with a garage sale, and I didn't realize it until I was looking through pictures on my iPad.

So, I'm trying to get motivated again. I got myself a fitbit, which I have linked to MFP. I'm religiously tracking every calorie I put in my mouth. I'm going to TRY to get my butt in gear and get the rest of this weight off.

We had some snow days earlier in March, so I downloaded Your Shape Fitness Evolved 2012 for the kids, to get rid of some energy. Ok, I LOVE that game. I'm not going to lie. I can work out for 30-45 minutes, and break a healthy sweat, get my heart rate up, and not even realize the workout is over until its over. I do better with the cardioboxing than I do the dance... I was born totally without any gracefulness, so anything that makes me look like a badarse instead of a failing ballerina is great for me.
