I've often thought about losing weight but I hid behind it instead. Well, that's changed!! I can't say what changed in my mind but I've decided it's time to take care of myself. When I signed onto cc I weighed 269.5 and I want to lose at least 120 pounds. Besides losing weight, I am trying to quit smoking. Now that's really going to be challenging!

In order to stay on track I am going to participate in a 5K in April. I've always wanted to walk/run in one but figured it was an un-obtainable dream. I know that I won't be anywhere near my weight goal so I figure I will run what I can and walk the rest. I'll be off my rear either way!
