First things First...

Starting weight: 309lbs...I felt disgusting. I didn't fit into any of my clothes anymore, I didn't like how I looked and I was on a path to diabetes and death. There was no way I'd ever be a Mom at that weight. 
I started Weight Watchers and my doctor prescribed Phentermine to help me loose weight. 8 months later, I am no longer using Weight Watchers (costs too much) and I am still on Phentermine, and I have lost about 37lbs. 
I feel so much better, and my clothes fit again and some of my pants are getting too big. I am at a point now where I need to start exercising regularly in order to keep loosing weight. I found something to help loose my tummy, and I am going to use my dance game for cardio. 
Starting out small, and working my way up to what the blog says to do...http://kayciesantics.blogspot.com/2012/03/300-ultimate-ab-and-core-challenge_22.html 
she says to do 30 of each, but I am going to start out with 10 and work my way up. I found it at Pinterest. If anyone has something for arms, let me know, I'd like to get rid of the flab leftover from when I started.
I am starting today, and will repeat everyday even after I reach my goal. my short-term goal is 250, and I am at 272 as of this morning. Long term is 200. My ideal is way far off, but I know its achievable. I'll get to that goal once I'm under 200lbs.

  2. Great job, Alise! I've been down this road so many times! You're right though, wanting to be a mommy....I think it might of been part of my problem.
    Let me know if you want to go walking some time. My knees have been bothering me as of late, but it'd still be good for me.
    Keep up the great work and attitude! That is half the battle! :D
