Choose to Lose!

I can't beleive it's been 3 months since I last posted something on here. I was in a bad place last year with a lot of stress, not that this year has been stress-free, but it's getting better. A lot of things happened last year, good and bad. I want this year to be a new start for me, a new beginning and it has. I got married in Decemeber and moved back to my dad's house. And even though unfortunately my nasal polyp came back. God sent a great doctor to just yank it out and remove it. I feel so blessed right now. I am in the first week of my new journey. Except this time i'm not alone in it. Allen is right here beside me. We have decided to commit to a weight-loss plan. Trainer Chris Poweel wrote a book called Choose to Lose and it helped a man who was 600lbs to lose 300lbs. I am excited to see what the outcome of this is going to be. I really don't want to get weight-loss surgery, whether it be gastric-bypass or lap-band. I just want to be healthy and happy and at a normal weight. My goal weight is still 199lbs. My starting out weight was 429lbs and at the end of this week, I will know where I stand. Allen's starting weight is 587lbs and hopefully he will be the Biggest Loser this week. I will try to post some pics of me and Allen and hopefully we will track our progress through photos, the scale, and our clothes. I am not buying any new clothes for me or Allen until we lose at least a significant amount of weight, or until our pants start to fall down and we can't wear our clothes because they are too big. I want to thank God for putting my husband Allen into my life and helping us both to love and support each other.
