When I got married I was pretty near my goal weight. The next day we moved to Minnesota. I had no friends, no job, and no idea how to get around the town. So at home, on the LoveSac, I did sit. I gained around 25 lbs, landing me at 160. Silly now how large I felt at that weight.
October of 2010 we moved to Lehi, UT. Again I found myself with no friends, no job, and no desire to venture out to Utah County.
January through August of 2011 I was off and on (mostly on) depressed. I turned to food for comfort. Oh, Food. You wonderful listener. You constant companion. Thank you for literally filling me up when I was empty. Ahem. Turns out this is a bad idea.
2011, I had already ballooned up to 180. A health issue helped me gain another 39 lbs. (Sarcasm.) If you're doing the math at home you'll know this means I was 219 at my heaviest. Oh, the shame.
So now I'm back on the wagon. I'm putting my weight loss ticker back on the blog. I'm keeping track of food and exercise at MyFitnessPal.com.
I'll do weekly updates of the weight ticker. I won't have time to blog about each weigh in. I barely have time to put my hair in a pony tail these days.
Check in from time to time. Cheer me on. Leave your suggestions in the comments. I'm open to work out ideas.
We've moved again. So now I need to make friends. Hopefully friends who want to go to the Rec Center with me.

You go Jessie! I'll join you in a few months. :) I know my biggest thing is just watching my portion sizes. Some days just chasing the kids around all day is all the exercise I have time for but every little bit helps. Good luck!
I feel your pain. ... And will be joining you in many ways soon. Until then, GO JESSIE!!!
You can do it!
I still have quite a few to loose before I'm at my prefered weight.
Hopefully my doctor is wrong, and I'll be able to join you soon ... really don't want to wait six months.
Jes! You are so brave. And I totally feel your pain too!!! Let's make a team. You're our MVP! Go JES!!!
Jessie, I totally feel your pain. I have struggled with my weight for years. I finally joined Weight Watchers about a year ago and it has really changed my life. I am so much happier and a much more confident person.
Now I'm not saying that you should join, I just want you to know that I am totally cheering you on in your goals! You can do it! Just take one day at a time and before you know it that number on the scale will continue to drop. Good luck!
