Here We Go!

So I decided to start a blog to document my journey from HUGE to not so huge! I turned 40 yesterday and took a look at myself and didn't care for what stared back at me. Over the years I have "struggled" with weight and of course now that my metabolism is shot - I find myself at the heaviest I have ever been (293 lbs.). I have done Weight Watchers Online over the past years according to MY rules and decided that it just wasn't working for me.

So I talked to a friend at work and we decided to go back to basics and started attending meetings - Mondays @ 11:00 am seems to be our meeting right now. And in addition to that I wanted to have a place where I can document what happens, so here we are.

I have not been at my best this week and I am convincing myself that it's my birthday and I deserve it. So we'll see what the scale says on Monday! I'm going to try and make this a daily thing - so WELCOME TO MY BLOG. I hope maybe it's entertaining, helpful or even interesting.

BTW - the name comes from a strategy of a card game my family plays called flume. (http://www.billhathaway.com/flume.htm) The idea is, as the name states - you need to cut the cards "thin to win".

I also decided to include 2 previous posts from earlier this week.
