Okay, here’s a little about me. When I went to college, I was looking for something. Satisfaction, success, joy, something. Whatever it was, I didn’t find it in the places I was looking and so to compensate, I ate. I ate a lot. Over the course of my first two years in school I gained somewhere between 70 and 80 pounds. I slept a lot, then ate, missed class and ate some more.

The last few years have been about realizing where joy is truely found, Jesus and learning how to live a life in pursuit of that. The last deed to undo from that period of my life is the weight, so in June I started counting points on the weight watchers program. Before moving, I lost 34 lbs! I was eating healthier and feeling great. I dropped pant sizes, shirt sizes and felt like I was on the road to healthiness.

The process of moving though, made it easy to level off and being in transition was a good excuse. We’ve been in Fresno now for 2 months and it’s safe to say that the transition is over. Last week I was watching my weight again and as of today, weigh in day, I lost 4 pounds! I’m down to 38 lbs lost and am now inviting all of you to be a part of the process. I weigh in every monday morning and will try my best to post the results. My goal is 80 lbs and I’m almost half way there.
