The beginning of the end (of being fat!)

Well, hello and welcome to my Blog. I'm new to this, so be gentle!
Basically I'm keeping this as a weight loss tracker, a way to connect with other dieters, and somewhere to air my views and frustrations.

So here we go;
I've always been a large girl, ever since being a child. Old habits are dying hard, and after stepping on the scale a couple of months ago just to find they don't go that high I freaked out and decided enough was enough.
On June 27th 2010 I started at my local gym weighing a ghastly 298lbs! A week later I had lost 8lbs, and I'm continuing from there.
I weigh-in every Saturday, so I'll probably update mainly then, and any other time I need to vent.
Cheers and enjoy my journey!
