This is me, standing.
Side view (no, I am not pregnant):
Sitting:
Completely gross and disgusting. Anyway, I've now seriously begun my weightloss journey. I'm just tired of looking and feeling so fat. I am going to do a physical activity every day. It just has to be a part of my routine, or I won't do it. If I take one day off, I'll take two. Then ten. I am basically a couch potato. I'm lazy. I need to find things to do to keep me busy. Otherwise, I'll eat. Because I like to eat. The food still tastes good even if I'm not hungry.
Today, I started by attempting to do Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred, level 1. Yes, I attempted to do it. Each level is 20 minutes long, and you are supposed to stick with level 1 until you are comfortable with advancing to level 2, then level 3.
Here I am, ready to kick butt and shred. Don't I look mean?
Can still smile through a jumping jack...well, kind of:
Suffering through push ups (ignore the form):
OMG, what are you doing to me, you crazy phycho bitch??!
Dejected, in my pile of sweat, tears and drool:
Workout length: 5 minutes. I completed 5 of 20 minutes. Ugh. I was dying. Seriously. And I pushed to last that long. And I didn't even use hand weights. And, can you believe the amount of sweat produced with five minutes of activity? My face and hair were soaked; sweat was dripping down my face and onto my shirt.
So, I hope to do at least 7 minutes tomorrow. That's the goal. And, I'm off to take a walk after I post this entry.
You may be wondering why I would post such awful, unflattering pictures of myself...it is to get my ass moving! I need some motivation! I want to look at these horrible 'before' shots four months from now and laugh instead of cry. I want to have something to compare my fabulous results to. I hope. This is my goal.
Please wish me luck and keep me going. I need all of the encouragement I can get!

You are awesome! Keep it up, sista!
You can totally do this! I am going to Yellowstone on Tuesday, but when I get back I plan on starting the Shred. We can keep each other motivated!
You are awesome. You are brave. No way could I let someone photograph me in action. :P
You can do it, friend!
You can do it, Mel!! And listen to Jillian! LOL. When she tells you not to stop, don't stop! Let the video motivate you and before you know it you'll be breezing through level one! Hang in there!
You are one of the coolest chicks I've ever known. I know you can do it!!!
You can do it! I'm starting it soon, it should be in from Netflix by Monday! I have to get rid of this loose flab from my weight loss & lose more on top of that.
You really don't have much to lose!
That's amazing. Keep up the hard work. Before you know it, you'll be as addicted to the exercise routine as your foods of preference.
I'm proud of you!
