Confession
Because of my weight- i have always hated posting pictures of myself in profiles on the internet or sending them to people- i always have taken pictures with the camera up over my head and me looking up... (ie- it stretches out the dbl chin and extra skin on my face and makes me look much thinner).. anyways-- i know it's…

Wet Burritos

Anyways- had one for dinner tonight (had plenty of calories left to use-- so thought i'd go enjoy one).. but the restaraunt (Taco BOY) didn't have nutritional info on any of their food-- so i thought i'd google calories for a wet burrito. All I could find were recipes- and ones that…

Anyways though- I had about 300 calories left for the day and since I'm pregnant- I was craving some ice cream- so I asked hubby if we had any…

Struggling Already or am I?

My Introduction
My family and friends have decided to start our own "biggest loser" challenge. Mostly it's because of my weight. Well they all aren't toothpicks- most of them could probably lose 20 or 30 lbs and be at their "goal weight" for height/age etc. My weight however- tends to fluctuate. At my heaviest (4 years ago) I was 350. I…
