Finally Sick & Tired

I'm Tamara and I've finally reached the point where I know I need to get the weight off. I'm started low this time at 25 pounds. I hope to have most of it off by my birthday in September but if it takes a little longer then so be it. I'm a teacher who is unemployed at the moment. So I started a beauty blog to keep myself busy and feel some type of accomplishment. Unfortunately as my skin, hair and nails have been looking healthy and feeling in their best ever state, my weight has climbed back up. For months I was trying to convince myself that I didn't want to be skinny. But I do. I want to weigh less than my mom. I want to fit inside a size 7 pair of jeans without struggle. I want a flat stomach. And I hope this community will help me.
