Welcome to my blog

I first started my weight loss journey August 2008. My dad had bought me a shirt at the car races and the only size he could get was a men's 3x... I was so embarrassed. The shirt made me look like a walrus. It was also around that time that my fiance and I had decided on a wedding date. I knew after the wedding that I would want to begin thinking about children. I knew that I couldn't have children at my particular weight.
That day, I joined Curves (a women's only gym). My first month, I lost 2 lbs. I was so upset and frustrated. Then I decided to try the Curves 6 week challenge. Those 6 weeks I lost 25 lbs. OMG The feeling was absolutely amazing. I continued eating the same things I had eaten on the challenge.
I started my journey at a weight I'm not even going to discuss! Huge for a woman, I know.
Currently I have lost 36 lbs. I am not going to stop until I am happy with myself. I was happy at 310 lbs, but I want to be healthy for my children. I want to be healthy for my future husband.

This blog will be about my weight loss and upcoming wedding September 25/09!
This picture was taken in June at my highest weight.
