15 Pounds in 15 Weeks

I am on a mission to lose 15 poinds in 15 weeks. I gained about 10 pounds last year, which isn't so bad I guess. I had quite a few physical challenges in 2009. I got a bone spur that caused me quite a great deal of pain that I got taken care of. There's been pain that has radiated from my lower back to the top of my foot for the past two years that i just got diagnosed about a month ago. I have a nerve sheath tumor in one of the nerves in my back that is pressing agains my sciatic nerve. So I have an appointment later on this month with a neurologist to basically setup a date to have surgery to get the tumor removed. My hope is that we can schedule a date after my 15 weeks are up. So in 105 days I hope to be a lean, mean 155 pounds. Which is really 17.4 pounds away. Maybe i can sneak those couple of pounds in. Tonight I'll add my before picture. I've done this before here, but I need to do it again. Laugh Out Loud!!!!!! Man, what a horrible pic. I didn't realize how round my stomach was. Every Friday will be Foto Friday and you'll be able to see my progress on a weekly basis. Good Luck to me!!!

Well, here they are. Man, look at those love handles... Hopefully we'll see some shrinkage over the next few months.
