Major life changes

The time has come, my fellow bloggers, to admit I've reached that stage. You know, the middle aged, frumpy, remember when stage. Those who have known me for eons know that I used to be small, petite, trim, etc. Used to be is the key phrase here! I wasn't just small, I was TINY! When I think back (remember when moment) I can hardly imagine myself that small. In fact, I took Brinlei to the doc a few weeks ago for a needed booster shot and her weight was exactly the same as mine was on my wedding day. Brinlei is a beautiful, lean image of a goddess and OH MY HECK! I was the same size!!!!! So, here I am, professing my unsightliness to the blogging world and making known that I no longer will be this massive hunk of lard! I am starting a new diet! There, I said it out loud. I would put up a before picture here but decided to wait for the dramatic effect of the before and after montage. I will not be putting my current weight out there for everyone to read either, but I will post the poundage lost.

So what's the plan? I actually do have a plan. It's called Medifast! I've done a lot of research via the net and chatted with several people who have been successful with the program and then I ran into an old friend who looks amazing and happens to be a Take Shape for Life (Medifast) coach. I almost giggled with glee! I'm just waiting for my shipment of Medifast to arrive and then I will officially be on my way to Slenderhood. Wish me luck!

Good luck!...Dieting sucks. HA HA!! Jeff and I have always LOVED the South Beach diet plan/books. Look into that for some great meal ideas. (It is considered not a diet, but a lifestyle change.)

Can't wait to see the before...and after.

Good luck Lorie! Arnell and I have been going to the gym for a month now. Arnell actually hired a trainer. He's doing great and looks awesome. Me? Well, I haven't lost any weight but I feel stronger and better. I just haven't committed wholeheartedly to the same diet as Arnell. I will get there. Baby steps:-)
