I certainly hope not to be pokie for too long!

----------------------------------
I have cycled up and down in weight for most of my life, and now I am realizing that I need to make a life-long life-style change - I can't lose the weight and then think I can go back to lazy habits or unhealthy eating!

So here I am!

This journey started on January 5th, 2009, at a starting weight of 264.4 pounds.

1/5/09 = 264.4 pounds
