Week 1 pictures

Start of my journey again

A Long Time..

Hello All!

I can tell you that my struggle has been hard and I am back to blogging about my weight loss. Maybe it will keep me accountable for my actions and keep me on track. I am going to tell you that I am no longer doing TSFL diet and I am currently working with a trainer at my local gym to help me with my nutrition and weight loss program.

I can tell you that I am one of those people that had a gym membership for over 2 years and never used it until last Friday! I don't know what has come over me, maybe it is because I turn 36 years old in March and I need to start taking better care of myself. Okay, so the weigh in at the gym the first day.. this was a shocker to me.. 290 with my shoes and everything on. I am only 10 pounds from being 300 pounds!!!! I also have a body mass of 49%

Day 1 at the gym: Measurements and Weigh and Assessment
