In the Beginning...

My name is Searcy Campbell and I have been a life long fatty.  I have struggled with my weight since as far back as I can remember, and I am sick and tired of being this way.  This blog is here to help me keep track of my weight loss journey and to hopefully help others who are struggling.  Here's a little background information about me:
* I am 27 years old
* I am married
* I have 1 child (he just turned one and is the light of my life!!!)
* I work part time as a teacher.
* I LOVE my job.  I get to spend every morning with the best international students, teaching them how to write in English. 
* In the fall, I am going back to school to get my Masters degree
* I currently live in the "fattest city" in America. 

Now that you know a little  bit more about me, it's time to look at my stats:
* I currently weigh 235.
* I don't know my measurements at this time, mainly because i'm too lazy to find my measuring tape...
* My overall goal is to weigh between 120 and 130.
* My first mini-goal is to weigh between 215 and 200.

I have a fabulous workout buddy who is making sure I go to the gym with her as often as possible.  I am so greatful for that!  Well, this is the end of my first post.  Stay tuned as I evaluate my meals, complain about the early morning workouts, whine about my sore muscles, and rejoice in my weight loss success.
