The beginning....

Today I offically start my much needed diet. I am going to be counting calories and excersizing and will post about my daily triumphs and failures here. I know that it is going to be hard but I am tired of being in this body. I hate that I don't like to have my pictures taken with my kids. I find it embarassing.

I am the wife of a farmer and the mother to 18 month old twins so I stay pretty busy. I know that most of the time my meal choices are not the best and when I get time to myself, I tend to use it sitting at the computer. Today that changes though.

My goal is to go from 259.2 lb to the 170-180 lb range. Right now I would be happy to drop from a size 22 pant down to an 18 so I can at least wear my pre-pregnancy pants.

Here are my "before" pictures.... I plan on taking them weekly. :)
