Starting over sucks

Okay, so I posted that I am back.  So I guess I should post my starting weight and my goals.

When I weighed myself at the beginning of the year I was 252.2.  Yikes.

Right now I am 245.2, so I have lost 7 lbs.

My blood pressure at the beginning of the year was 147/109.  Yikes again (I should have been dead, according to my doctor).  I checked my BP a couple of weeks ago, and it was a more respectable 136/96.  Still not in the normal range, but definitely going in the right direction.

This is my "before" picture - taken today, about 6 weeks after recommitting to Weight Watchers.

I have been posting on the Weight Watchers online message boards, and I think it has really helped me stay on track this time around,.  I tried to do it myself before, but it's hard when there is no support group to sound things off on.  M doesn't exactly understand my struggle to put down the bag of chips.  He has to work hard to not be underweight.
