I woke up this morning and decided it was time to stop looking like a "before" picture. I used to be beautiful, but the past two years have really taken their toll. It's time to fight back and be the person I remember. Wanna come along?

It officially starts tomorrow!

That's right. Starting tomorrow, I will do my elimination diet because we suspect I have some food sensitivities, mainly to wheat. It will be one week of fruit smoothies and supplements to get me cleaned out, and then a very light diet for two weeks after. I'll post what I eat each day so you can see.

I've done this part before, so I expect to lose a shitload of water weight this week. Everyone says "well it doesn't count because it's just water." Excuse me? The last time I went through this, I lost 15 lbs of water weight in TWO DAYS! Doesn't that tell you there is something seriously wrong? Anyway, I expect to see more of the same this time around.

Today's exercise? A bunch of walking around just in general, and 35 minutes of Wii Fit. I'm going to do a serious review of this in a few days and post it at both blogs. Oh, I didn't tell you? I have another blog Taking What Is Left. That's where I talk about everything else in my life.

Why didn't I just do this there? Frankly, I didn't want to bore people who come there for the other stuff. I figure you guys are here for the same reason I am and want to hear about all of this. Who knows? Maybe I'll tell the others about this blog at some point, maybe when I reach my first goal of getting under 200.

So what brought this on?

I'm fat. That's what.

There. I've said it. According to Wii Fit, I weigh 210 pounds. I'm 5'8", which puts me at about 45 pounds heavier than I ought to be.

I've been wanting to lose this weight, but I'm finally in a place where I'm going to be serious about it. How serious? Well, I'm going to blog it, aren't I? Here is where I will log every detail of what I am doing so that I can keep track of it. You'll get to watch what I eat, how I exercise, and what I think along the way.

I'm sure some of you, well probably most of you, are doing about the same thing. Which is probably how you found me in the first place. Let's be weight loss buddies! I'll support you, you support me, and together, we'll become less of a person!

Who's with me?
