Promise to myself

I know that most people do not like to share their weight with other people but I will share this information so that you can see Has Happened. I was 325 lbs when I had Jonathan. I am currently down to 255 as of today. I have been big for most of my life. I was 270 when I got married almost 6 years ago and was in between 300-310 before I even had kids. In an effort to get pregnant I got down to 295 but nothing seem to be working and I was frustrated. I spent 6 months out of 2 years in bed due to issues with pregnancy. I had lost a lot of muscle that makes it so that you can move and function doing everyday things.
I made a promise to myself when I weighed 300 while in bed pregnant with Jonathan. I was going to get healthy so that I can play with my kids and also to be around to watch them grow up. My promise or goal for myself was to get down to 240 by Jonathan's first Birthday. I have failed myself. I didn't work out during half of November, all of December and 2.5 weeks this year while we were in Disneyland. When I made the goal I truely thought that I would probably not even make it to 260 but I feel now that if I would have stuck to working out that I would have had no problem reaching my goal.
Do I Did IT-- I used my parents tredmill at first and struggled to get 1 mile in 30 mins. After working at building muscle back I was able to do 3-4 miles in 1 hour. I lost 29 lbs. Then I added workout videos and a navy seal work out that my brother gave me. I got down to 269. I then joined the gym 1/20/10. I felt confused and unsure as to what I needed to do to reach my goal. I talked with a trainer using their free session. I felt more confused. I spoke with my older brother and he customized a workout for me that was unsure if it would work. I did the first week and saw some results. We then went to Disneyland. Came home did week 2 of work out and lost 2 lbs. Week 3 it changed and Since Monday I have lost 3.5 lbs. I hope to at least make it to the 240's even if it is 249.9 by Jonathan's Birthday in 2 weeks.

To Start

I am starting this blog because I have had a lot of people ask me how I did it, what my progress is and that I am an inspiration for those that want to lose weight. I will post updates of pictures and thoughts about how things are going and hopefully help those that are feeling lost maybe get started on the path to success.
