The Wagon

Do you remember that game Oregon Trail? You know the one...you load up your wagon with miscellaneous people and items and try to make it to Oregon without dying.

Well, if I could compare my weight loss journey to anything it would be the Oregon Trail - except at this point I'm sure I've lost quite a few supplies crossing the river and half of my passengers have died of dysentery and/or snake bites.

I need to get my sh!t together (cussing...bad). I've been talking about weight loss for a few years and haven't put any real effort toward it. Don't believe me? I have blog posts all the way back to - dare I say it - September 2008. GULP!! I've been all talk for the better part of 2 years and ZERO action! So here it is...

I am 5'5" and I weigh 200 lbs. This is the biggest I've EVER been. I want...no NEED...to lose 50 pounds.

This is going to be a huge challenge for me - I've never been one of the skinny girls and I don't hope to be. I've always been "big boned". Never been under a size 8 and I'm ok with that. For me it's not about size (ok...it kinda is). I want to be healthy, I want to look good, I want to feel good, I want to be sexy, I want to shop in any store anywhere and not be afraid that clothes aren't going to fit, I want to have nice lean muscles and a high, perky butt!

Self-imposed 6am work out...I'm coming after you


I can't believe I just put this on the internet. I hope I haven't just ruined my political career

I'm literally in your same boat but don't look as good as you by the way...a little jealous. 5'5 and 200lbs and never been smaller than a size 8. I too have 50lbs to loose! Not only can we do this...we WILL do this!! Good luck to you!
