Gettin' My Skinny On

My weight gain/lose history is very simple. I've been steadily gaining weight all of my life as a fairly inactive person, and have never lost any weight. Until recently, that is. Pretty simple weight gaining story, huh? So in September of 2008 I joined spark people and have been using that as a tool to take control of my eating and exercising habits. Since September I have gone from 207.8 lbs (my all time high) to my current 190 lbs. Spark People is also where I met Stephanie. We have been great texting buddies and really try to help and motivate each other. We wanted to create this blog as a place where we can post new ideas, recipes, pictures, successes and failures. This journey isn't an easy one. Some days it feels like the failures outweigh the successes, but at the end of the day they all add up and that's the important part. We are in this for long haul and that's why we are going to get real results. One step at a time.
