I began this journey two weeks ago tomorrow June 29th. I have ALWAYS been the FAT ONE in the family. I was very athletic in my tweens but once I hit high school that was it. Well my younger sister and her husband decided they were going to change the way they eat so I joined the bandwagon. My 1st week I lost 12 pounds. I weigh again tomorrow so hopefully see at least another 5 to 7 gone. It hasn't been as hard as I thought yet hard at the same time. My daughter has joined the Army (proud mom) and I have decided to start a new chapter in my life as she will be starting one in hers!
