My Journey

My name is DD.  I am 21 years old and married to my wonderful husband. I am a Instructional Assistant at an elementary school.

I am starting this blog,for motivation for myself, but also to maybe motivate someone along the way. This will be a very candid and personal page of my weight loss journey. I started my weight loss journey on October 26, 2012. I have lost 49.6 pounds so far, to date. (3-20-13) I have lost my weight by doing Weight Watchers and exercising. My starting weight was 250.8 pounds. My goal is not to be skinny but to be healthy. My end goal that I would like to be is about 150 pounds. However, I will see what my body feels most comfortable at. 

Starting a blog about my personal weight loss journey is a little frightening for me. I will admit that I am still very self conscious. I really wanted to start this blog to help me stay accountable. Also, I have a lot of people that ask me questions, want me to post pictures, and are always saying that they are watching my personal Facebook for updates. This blog I thought would be a wonderful place to update you all with pictures and daily post, hopefully ;), along with answering any questions you might have about my weight loss. 

I will post about my daily life along with struggles that I deal with on my journey to becoming healthy. 

I hope that the people that choose to follow this blog will not be judgmental of me but, be supportive. Also, if you are someone that is also on this journey we will be able to communicate and support one another.

This was a before picture of me. I was at least 250lbs here. The one on the right was taken when I weighed 210.
