I saw a pic of myself from this years Christmas Party and it was such a wake up call!  This is the biggest I have ever been in my life.  I am an accountant so I sit ALOT, so the weight just sort of crept up on me.  I would really like to lose 15 lbs (I should probably do more but I am being realistic).  I not only want to lose weight, I would really like to tone my body and have no unsightly bulges sticking out from my shirt and/or pants.  I have never been a skinny person and never will be, I just want to be fit and feel comfortable in my own skin.

My problem is that I am only 5 ft 2 1/2 in and weight right now 154.2!  Thats a lot for someone so short!  I have lost 4 lbs so far but would love to weigh less.  I am new to this sight and am trying to learn how to use it (ie forums and stuff). 

This is the next Christmas now, 2008 and I've managed to gain weight and now I weigh 161!!!!  ARGH!!  The number 8 signals a new beginning, and that's what I'm going to do.  Make a new beginning for myself!
