I suppose I need the extra motivation to stay on track. Since I hurt myself last spring, I fell off the wagon and with the inability to exercise, I didn't do as I knew I should and trim back on my food consumption. Therefore, I gained back some of what I'd lost before.

I really want to make a permanent change in my life and I know that consistency was the key for me before. I want to be a different person physically. I want to feel good and look good in my clothes. And I am begging God for the help in making this a permanent change. I have a long way to go, but in losing more than 30 pounds before, I know I can do this. So, if you're interested in having me part of your cheering section, let me know. I know how important the support is.

And here I go. In one year, I want to be at my goal weight. I want to need all new clothes for Christmas in 2009. And along the way, I hope to become a great seamstress so I can alter my clothes smaller and smaller.

Best wishes to you!
