We are starting today!!! April 2, 2011!

Today is Day 1 for Cassie and I!  We are excited and hope we have similar results to others.  Today we will start loading(eating as much heavy food as we can-high fatty food(as healthy as possible though--such as nuts, eggs, cheeses, etc....it's not potato chips, and total junk like that!)

So to start us off...we will be weighing in daily...in this same spot!  Stay tuned for more details!

I was previously starting at 245-245...BUT I had a stomach virus, and lost a little bit.....Actually went down to 239.8!!  I know that's a lot, but I was SOO happy to see 239!  It's been difficult for me to get ove the 240 hump....However, this morning(after being on the road to Baton Rouge all yesterday and eating again) I did have a gain.


You can expect to see a slight gain over the next day or so b/c we will be eating more and higher fat foods....and then hoping we will be losing.
