This WILL be ME in about a year!
So if you know me really well you know that I have struggled with my weight off and on for a long time! I have pretty much tried every diet out there and came to the conclusion that Weight Watchers is really the most sensible and practical program to follow. I am starting this long process again and am very committed to reaching my goal. After five wonderful kids in 10 years I want my body back! I want to have the energy to play with my kids and get involved in their sports! I want to be able to shop in the stores I have only dreamed of shopping in!(American Eagle Outfitters:) I want to be able to look at myself and be proud of my accomplishment! I want to be healthy and live a long life and be a healthy grandma someday! I have been inspired by so many people in my life when it comes to weight loss and just to list a few I would have to say my dear mother who has lost 60+ pds, and my step father who has lost over 85 and is still going strong, and my friend Melanie who has lost alot, I just don't have the number, but she looks amazing! I know that I can do this! I told myself if I could run a mile non-stop than I could do anything, well.....about a year and 1/2 ago I ran my first mile ever and it ended up being 2 miles 3x's weekly for awhile until I got pregnant again:) I know that I am worth it and that this is something that is totally attainable! I have a wonderful friend here(I don't know if she wants me to say her name so I won't) that is doing this with me and is a great support, thank you soo much, really you are awesome! I have lost 5 pds so far and that is just the beginning! Of course I can always use encouragement, so I am leaving this blog open to anyone who wants to leave a bit of a push for me:) I will read my comments for inspiration so make them good! I have had many friends out there help me with this before and I appreciate each and every one of you! I am done having kids so this is it! I am on my way to a new me! Keep checking back for MY PERSONAL PEOPLE COVER! I want to make the cover, that is my goal and I am letting everyone know so that I can't fail! Wish me luck!!!!

Good luck! If anyone can do it, YOU CAN Laura!
I know that you can do it!! Your such a good friend and example. Keep up all the hard work and in the end we will be shopping at American Eagle.
5 LBS already? That is incredible! I would love to keep each other motivated. Maybe we should start a weight-loss blog?
You are amazing and you will be able to accomplish anything you set your mind to! Now go git 'em tiger!
I was a witness to your running accomplishments! I am so proud of you for going at it strong again! I know that you can do it. Just remember to have faith in yourself and remember not to weigh yourself more than once a day. :) Love and miss you!

Hey there- your blog is cute. I admire your goals. I think that is incredible about 5 pounds- way to go and keep it up!!!

I know you can do it. You are so accomplished--just look at your family and how great they are. I miss you lots! (But I do love having your apartment.)
I remember how excited you were when you ran your first mile. Always remind yourself of that feeling, because that will keep your motivation strong. I can't believe that you have lost 5 lbs already too! I know you can do it! We miss you and all of your cute kids. We have a blog now too @ www.LaurenandJared.blogspot.com so check it out sometime.
