I started my program today because it is Monday and that is always the best day to start, right? My weigh in yesterday was extremely dissapointing, expected, but still hard to swallow. I have gained about 25 pounds in 10 months and feel horrible about myself. For me it has always been a mindset thing, if I could get my head on straight then weight loss and healthy habits were easy, almost fun and then just out of nowhere it would all stop. I would start skipping work outs, making bad choices and the weight would creep right back on. I have to figure out why I sabotage myself and keep doing that every time I really get close to my goals.

I am a "big boned" girl and will never be uber thin but for me a good first step is to get that 25 pounds back off. This challenge came along at just the right time. Chris and Heidi are such great motivators to me and seem like the most genuine people.

Good luck to everyone else doing this challenge!
