Back at the bottom...preparing for the climb.

So, here I am...almost exactly 2 years to the day; almost exactly the same weight; almost exactly the same frustrations. If you have read the story of the blogs inception, then you know that I gave myself 1 year (from 1/2009 to 1/2010) to get to my goal weight before opting for weight loss surgery... I started at 237.5 in 2009 and last Monday, January 10, 2011 I weighed in at 236.5...UGH! But, I made some immediate changes in my eating and started going to the gym. In 2009 I was doing a very drastic program with protein supplements and 1 solid/low carb meal a day, so the pounds came off in a serious way. This time I am keeping with the low carb situation, but just preparing my own meals rather than supplements. I missed blogging during the first week, so you were spared the ride on my "HANGRY" roller coaster...if you don't remember- read the entries from the beginning of the blog. I lost 8lbs in that week, weighing in at 228.5. There will be some "guest bloggers"...supporters of my journey, and any tidbits that I think are interesting... ...Let's get started on an upward climb, with some digging along the way, in search of the truth that is buried within.
