First Post and a hope for a new start

Here I am. A new year and a new promise that I make every year. Except this time I decided to make myself accountable! I have made this resolution time and time again and this time I think and hope that this is for real.  My beginning stats:
Weight: 217.6 (Ouch! First time I have told anyone but myself (well...and my doctor...)
Bust: 42.5"
Chest: 37.5"
Waist: 38.75"
Hips: 44.25
Right Thigh: 29"
Left Thigh: 28.75
Right Calf: 18"
Left Calf: 18.25"
Right Upper Arm: 15"
Left Upper Arm: 15.25"
Right Forearm: 10.75"
Left Forearm: 10.75"

My goal weight is 145. If I can. So that makes it about.....72 lbs. to lose. yuck. But as they say each pound is one pound closer to my goal!! So a toast! To a new Year and to finally becoming the person I want to be.
