    We are finally getting some beautiful spring weather and I would like to take advantage of that by adding a few minutes to my walks every few days.

    This month my goal is to reengage my fitness plan....life has over ran me lately and I need to put everything back in its place so I do not gain all of my weight back. Also I would like to fit into a dress that I bought the other day which fits but not perfectly. So loosing at least 5 pounds should give me the confidence to put it on and take it out of the bathroom. :happy: Good luck everyone!!

    Total weight lost:

    I first started back in May of 2011. At that point I weighed 310 and was not healthy. I got my crap together and through healthier eating and butt kicking exercise, I got down to 225 pounds the day my second child was born (my son in Dec of 2011). I dropped 83 pounds in 8 months, but I put 50 pounds back on just as fast. My daughter is almost 4 and my son is 16 months old. Time for me to get back at it and stop making excuses!!! Thanks.
