And here I am going only this time one year closer to 30 and 10 lbs heavier than when I tried this before. I feel like now it's do or die since I have never been this heavy before in my life. I am starting simply, my husband and I are cutting portions of everything we eat in half. Instead of 1 burger for each of us, we eat 1/2.

We have 2 weddings to go to this summer and I have a beautiful summery teal straight dress I hope to wear to one of them but only after loosing at least 15+ lbs (it looks terrible right now).

Mu husband has always been big but I married him like that. I on the other hand, have gained about 15 lbs since we met. I would like to loose that plus some. We'll see how this works.

I am using the Jillian Michaels Fitness Ultimatium for the Wii and watching the Biggest Looser for motivation. (I would die if I ever got as big as some of those people and i want to do what I can to prevent it now).

I also have signed up for my 2nd half marathon this summer. It is the American River Parkway 1/2 Marathon on May 1st. Training starts January 23rd, I am so excited!
