Fat and happy...for a little while at least

Okay okay okay, so I didn't lose forty pounds in 2014 or even in 2015. I did however gain a bunch of weight.

More importantly though, I finally got to the point in my life where I felt totally, wholly, and completely satisfied with who I am. It took a lot of crazy mistakes, awkward conversations, and putting myself out there to figure it out. But I did. 

Some of you know that I fell in love this past year. And let me tell you, it is a wonderful feeling. I fell in love, moved to the country, bought a dog, and ate and drank to my hearts' content. Which, in the moment, was wonderful. But now that I very obviously spill out of all my clothing I have decided that enough is enough. 

So here is the difference with this blog and the last one. This time, I'm not doing this alone. My love, Rebecca, and I will be wittily working our way through the fat and back into our skinny jeans. 

So far we have discovered some delicious meals, lost 5 pounds a piece, and made it through the weekend without putting any of it back on. 

So there will be some vulnerability, some recipes, some weigh-ins, and some disappointments. But we are asking you, people who believe in us, for your encouragement, and your love, and your advice. 

So here it goes, down to the numbers:

Maura:
Starting weight: 222 lbs.
Goal weight: 150 lbs. 
Current weight: 217 lbs. 

Becca:
Starting weight: 183 lbs. 
Goal weight: 140 lbs. 
Current weight: 179 lbs. 

For those of you who numbers aren't exactly your forte, that boils down to 72 lbs for Maura and 43 lbs for Becca.
Hopefully we will retake this photo in a year and both be 30lbs lighter. And the puppy will actually be looking at the camera.. Here's hopin'!
