After battling infertility for nearly three years, one of the steps my specialist said would help secure a bun in the proverbial oven would be for me to drop some fluffiness from my, well, "fluffy" frame.
I did. 45 lbs worth. Rock on!
Now, 7 months post baby (my how the diapers are piling up), I am inching back toward my beginning weight (which was also the heaviest of my life) - grrr. In fact, I have gained a whopping 20 lbs in the past 3 months.
Um, hello, earth to chubbles! You have got to break up with Ben & Jerry.
Anywhoo, thoroughly disgusted by my lack of self-control, the hubby and I have decided it's time to get serious about loosing some poundage. Our son, Cooper, will be talking before we know it and I'd hate for him to refer to us as chunky monkey and fat-bottom Bessie instead of dada and mama (although that would show an amazingly impressive vocabulary!).
Desperate to be a future MILF (OK, maybe not a MILF, I could never be a MILF, but a hot soccer mom might be doable with a ton of work, oh, and a minivan - eek!), I have devised a plan that will ensure my ultimate success. I will skip the popping of powerful appetite suppressants or adopting anorexic tendencies and instead will completely, totally, utterly humiliate myself on the world wide web (hey, whatever works, right!).
I can't be accountable only to myself or my hubby ... I'm stuck with me and hell, let's face it, he is too. I need to be accountable to the world.
So humiliation here I come!
Beginning, um, now, I will start posting the dirty details that NO WOMAN ever wants revealed:
My Dress Size!
GASP!
My Weight!
Double GASP!
Bonus? Photos!
I think I'm having a heart attack.
As of yesterday, January 2nd, which was actually Day One of the diet but I was too busy to blog until now, here were/are my starting stats:
Dress size: 20
Weight: 228
Photo: The above pic was taken just after my innagural workout. Niiice, right??
So, there it is, in all it's full-figured glory ... my ultimate self-sacrifice, the numbers no one should ever know, nor posess.
Day one is down, and day two is rapidly coming to a close and every time my mind wanders to thoughts of sweet nothings (which are actually full of EVERYTHING), I say my Fat Chants: "I WILL release the thin within!"

you can do anything that you set your mind to. Just remember you can't cheet.
Hey just found your site and I too have just started this sadistic adventure of losing weight! What got my eye was that our stats are very similar! I am right around two-twenty and 20 pants size! all that on a 5'2 frame! :( I am down five pounds and I am so glad to see I am not alone out there!
Thanks
Shelly
