'fat camp'

I am joining a 'fat camp' at the gym by the end of the year... so, what does that entail?
well, its called the Biggest Loser after the TV show, but sorta makes me feel like a loser too... cause this is about the 3rd time I've tried more 'drastic' measures to get in gear. I have to do it though... I just talked today to one of my former coworkers and he told me he had a stroke! What?! he's only in his early fifties maybe? so, that was Oct and he's lost 26 lbs since then.. I know this is what i have to look forward to unless i take action. No other motivation should be as strong.

OKAY.. so last year was a BUST.. Nothing doing.. I think i am about 2 lbs lighter.. but a few good things are that my cholesterol is down 15 pts- thanks to eating oatmeal everyday for breakfast and I actually managed to get out of bed at 6:30am several times in the past month to get to the gym. I know, pretty sad, but there is something to be said for 'baby steps'. I am most thankful though as always for my lovely and wonderful husband, Steve. He cares about me and for me in ways I'll never understand, but for which I am eternally grateful.
