So you know when life stops and gives you a good kick in the pants?
Well here I am. This weekend I found out that my wee little brother (all of 28 yrs old) is getting married in November. Well for the past yr and a half or so I have been trying to change my eating habits and start losing some weight. In 2006 I lost 30 pounds but then I went on my lovely road trip and gained 20 back over the next few months. I have maintained the last 10 pounds and many of my eating habits but I am not getting the exercise I need to in order to lose this extra weight. Well it is going to be tough going home and losing some weight would be awesome. So here goes nothing…
I am going to lose 50 pounds by October 25. (This is the weekend before my little bros wedding.) My current weight is 242. So WHEN I succeed I will be at 192 or less. It has been about 16 years since I have been on the under side of the 200 pound mark.
What do I need to do to reach this goal? You. How can you help? Well that’s the easy part. Just encourage me to lose it.
If you would like to be a part of my weight loss goal and helping me reach it just post a little note. I will be trying to keep a journal here more regularly and I will post pictures and share recipes.
If you have any thoughts or suggestions on things that would help please feel free to share.
Hey if any of you out there want to lose weight too come on with me on my journey. We could all stand to be a little healthier. Heh
Love ya,
Leslie

Here's my note of encouragement:
Lose that weight, beeatch!
First I just want to say that you are beautiful just the way you are! Having said that, I understand the desire to feel more healthy and the sense of accomplishment felt when you find your clothes getting looser. You go girlfriend! All the best to ya :)
Hoody Hoo Leslie,
Thanks for the email about your new journey towards getting healthier. Here is my encouragement for you :)
Now, find something that you think you might like to do activity wise... the gym sucks as the "fun" of it runs out soon after starting. What ever it is, find it and do it. Be active and don't stress over actual poundage and the weight will fall off before you know it.
During the crazy commute from VA to NC for 9 months I was loosing my mind and putting on the pounds from all the fast food and lack of activity. Found a martial art that I enjoy last sept/oct and have pretty much been going 3-4 times a week. Not trying to loose weight, just be active. I've dropped ~30lbs w/o worrying too much about diet, etc.
If this 3FB can do it, so can you. Just find what you like and do it. Good luck, I will check by every so often.
