My First Post: Introduction!!!

I'm so excited to be starting my very own weight loss blog!  Since I restarted my journey in June several weight loss blogs have inspired me to keep going.  I have wanted to start my own blog but as part of my New Year's Resolution its becoming a reality!  I think its just going to be great to have a place to document what I eat, recipes I cook, and weight that I lose.  My husband is going to be beginning with me for the new year.  We are going to begin the Weight Watcher Points Plus Program.  I have followed the WW plan up until this point to lose the already 60 pounds that I have lost.  I can't wait to begin this new program and am hoping that it will jumpstart my weight loss. 

When I was in my early twenties I was 150 lbs overweight and so I woke up one day and decided that I was sick of it and I did something about it.  I joined weight watchers and started running everyday.  Within a year and a half I had lost 150 lbs and I became a new person.  I eventually had a tummy tuck and a full body tuck to remove extra skin.  I was so happy and felt so free, almost like a new person.  I had the confidence to become a more independant person.  When I met my husband I fell in love with him immediately.  He was the missing part of me.  He makes me the happiest woman in the world.  But for the first time with him I felt like no one was judging what I ate and he loved me no matter what.  Needless to say I started to eat junk.  The more I fell in love the more weight I gained.  By the time we were married I had gained 50 lbs back.  Instead of snapping out of it I kept gaining the weight until I had regained it all back.  Though this time with the regain came diabetes and high blood pressure.  This past June i started stumbling over weight loss blogs and I became so inspired.  It was like an alarm went off inside of me.  Since then I have lost 60 pounds.  I hope to become an inspiration to others in the same way that I have been inspired by so many!!!
