Just in case anyone's listening...

An introduction.

Kirsten is 24 years old, a bona fide speech language pathologist (still working on her clinical fellowship) living in the Tampa area of Florida. Newly moved from Michigan, and making new friends. Here's the stats:

Current weight: 262 lbs
Desired weight: 140 lbs

Cari is also 24 years old and working as a speech language pathology assistant hoping to get a masters degree and continue on to be just like Kirsten! Living in Michigan and traveling between her parents’ home in Newaygo and her fiancé’s house in Augusta.  Starting stats are:

Current weight: 184 
Desired weight: 130-140

We thought about how we like to be made accountable for our weight loss, and what better way than to put it out there, in a place where we can't just take it back. For us, it's about many different things. Cari is thinking that should wants to look hot for her wedding (and of course she will).  Kirsten is planning on looking hot for life, and getting healthy. I want to get off of the medications that I am on that are preventative.

So here it goes. Kirsten is going to begin Weight Watchers, and Cari is following a diet plan from her trainer and a nutritionist. To keep us accountable we will weigh in every Monday and share our hopefully good news in Monday blog posts! Wish us luck on out weight loss journey!

Kirsten and Cari.
