This is mzmitchell's Red Wedding!

**|||||| * WEEK ONE OF MY MISSION TO GET BEYONCE-FIED *|||||| **

Let me first off by introducing myself. My name is Sandra a California girl who is planning a Valentine 2010 wedding. Last year I had my first child, a little boy. During my pregnancy I packed on a whoping 85!!!!!!!! I went from a size 9 to a size 20 in a blink of an eye. I have since shed over 50lbs of my baby weight, which leaves me with 35 to get back to my pre baby weight. I have a little over 300 days to lose the rest of my weight to get back to my size 9. I am very motivated to not only shed the weight but to keep it off. It goes way beyond my desire to get into my dream wedding dress; I want to be healthy and here for my family as long as I can. I have noticed my eating habbits have gone south since having my son. I went from grilling & baking to drive thru's & fried foods. Yikes! Well, a year later I can no longer blame the extra lbs on " I just had a baby". .. now my responce is "its just fat baby". Every Wednesday I will give you all my update on my weight loss or weight gain . Once I reach my goal I will reveal my starting weight and my ending weight, until then it is a surprise :) My goal to write this blog is keep myself motivied and focused on losing weight, and also to cause others to start a new healthy life. So is anyone out there with me? Are you the mother who just had a baby and wants to get back into her skinny jeans... the lady who covers her body with baggy clothes ... or maybe the lady who just goes shopping when jeans get a little too tight... the late night snack eater ... or the drive thru food diva? Whichever lady you are ... and if your ready join me in my mission to get "-fied"

Well ladies, I would love for any of you to join my mission to get "Beyonce-fied' or whatever -fied you wish to get! If you would like to join my mission to shed those unwanted pounds please feel free to join in! Every Wednesday post your pounds shed to date and tell everyone about the week that helped your success or talk about the challenges to get through that week.

Weight lost to date: 0 -
Date Starting Weight loss: 4/17/2009

I am having a very difficult time finding damask items. I have searched and found a few items which were very pricey. Anyone know of some great sites , DIY tips, or free templates that I can use to complete my dream wedding?
