I started losing weight in 2008 and over the next two years lost 106 pounds. In 2010 my life changed when I got diagnosed with Crohn's Disease. Over the next two years I gained back 100 pounds. I'm taking my life back. Today is the first day of the rest of my life. Today is my fresh start and it can be yours too.

WW UPDATE
I had an awesome week on Weight Watchers. I ate really well, tracked everything I ate, got lots of fruits and veggies in, drank all my water, and just really did a great job. I was not able to work out due to my schedule, but none the less had a great weigh in today. I'm very happy to say that I lost 2.8 pounds. I have been losing and gaining the same 5 pounds for the last couple months. The good news with that is that I never went below my 40 pounds lost mark, so I am almost back to my 45 pounds lost mark. I feel good about how I have gotten back to it and know that I will be successful again. I set short goals for myself and my next goal is 50 pounds lost. I am hoping to reach that by August 8th. My week to week goal in my mind, to help make the big picture smaller, is to just lose a pound of week. My great WW leader Kirk told me to do that. He said anyone can lose a pound in a week, so if you just focus on that one pound you can do it and it's a bonus when you lose more. It really helped me. Thanks for all your support and encouragement all the way.
Todays weight: 263
Next goal: 256.3 That will put me at 50 pounds lost total. I'm also very excited about this next milestone because I will be in the 250's. It's been awhile since I've seen that on the scale.

I just found your blog via Duane. It is really encouraging to find others out there that are "plus-sized" triathletes. I am sitting at about 320 right now and can use all the support I can get!
You can do it, Melissa! You have such a positive attitude. Good luck this week!
Congrats on your progress so far!I really appreciate you taking the time to comment on my blog. I actually have completed a triathlon before. It was two years ago and then life got really rough and I fell of the bandwagon.
Congrats for getting back on track Melissa! You are doing awesome! I started this diet with my sister. She has been on it a couple months and has lost 20lbs and 51inches (all over the body). It is called Thin & Healthy Solutions through the gym! I swtiched my membership over to her gym and i worked out both days this weekend for 2 hours! I always read your blog to keep me going! Thanks
