This is day 1 for my under a 1000 calories a day...

WORTH IT$100
This is day 1 for my under a 1000 calories a day diet. I have to do this for 5 days, then 3 days before surgery clear liquids. I'm pumped and ready for this! My dear hubby is doing the 5 days, under 1000 calories with me...he is such a sweet heart! He doesn't need need to lose weight like me, maybe 10lbs, but he will surely lose that in the next 5 days! Looking forward to my adventure.

A Little more about me

I'm 5'9, 43. married for almost 5 years. First time mom to an adorable 2 year old daughter. Been over weight all of my adult life, but because of my height, even when I was 225, people thought I was in great shape. At that weight I was wearing a size 14 jeans, now I'm in a 20. :( I am looking forward to getting under 200 and really getting strong and fit for my family, as well as myself of course. Have arthritis in both knees and in my lower back, so I am truly looking forward to being rid of this weight, I know it will help with the pain.
