First day of my newest weight lose endeavor!

So in my about me post I had discussed a little but about my weight being an issue for me. I have always hated the fact that I have been overweight most of my life but it has been hard for me to find something that worked for me. I have tried various diets over the years and failed at sticking with them. Finally I have made the decision that I will eat healthier and exercise regularly to lose the weight and eventually maintain it. My decision is finally for me and to make my life healthier. Also I want to be able to get some of the weight of so I can go back to being a volunteer firefighter and feel comfortable enough to help others. 

Currently I am 244.6 pounds and my goal is to lose close to 100 pounds. I would be happy if I can get myself down to 150 pounds and maintain my health. I will include in this post two before pictures and hopefully every month I will be able to post new pictures to see the difference. 

Thanks for reading,

Best wishes, Danielle!
