Welcome!

This will be my first attempt at a blog.  So I will briefly appologize in advance for any silly mistakes I may make.

I started dieting on Weight Watchers in October 2011.  I have lost 20 lbs so far and kept every one of those pounds off.  I found it pretty easy to stick to and dedicated myself to being a skinnier me.  I did this primarily by counting points with very little exercise.  I hate exercise and will make any excuse to avoid it.  I am a self-diagnosed couch potato.  All of this was made significantly easier because my fiance was participating in a weight loss challenge at the same time.  But then he finished the challenge in January. 

Thump, thump, thump....  What is that?  That would be the sound of me falling off the dieting wagon and bouncing (this is due to my slight roundness).  The other morning I woke up and decided that it was time for me to gather gumption to get back on the wagon.  I will lose the 9 year old's weight of chub that is currently encasing my body and I will become the svelt babe that I know is hiding inside me.

I created a weight loss support group within the ladies at my workplace and in about a week I will initiate the first 2 month weight loss challenge of my own.  I will record my everyday issues with fighting my battle of the bulge on here so maybe I can inspire others or just create some amusement amongst any casual person who is reading this randomly out of sheer boredom.  I will also probably toss in some bits about my dogs, home improvements, and my crafting.  I crochet and knit in my spare time.  This may enable my avoidance of everything exercise since it's hard to crochet or knit on a treadmill.

I suppose I should throw in some info about myself.  I am 31 year old engineer that weighs all of 204.4 lbs as of this morning.  My goal weight is 140 lbs.  I am engaged to wonderful man and live with him, his son, and our three dogs.
