Hey everyone, Cerise here. Let's get right to it, I am overweight and it does not feel good. I'm not drastically overweight, trust me, I know what that's like. I was overweight before by 100 lbs. Yes you read right, one hundred pounds overweight. During both of my pregnancies I overate, didn't exercise and gained weight rapidly in just nine months each time. The first time I gained 100 lbs, the second time 80 lbs.
I gained the weight during my first pregnancy in 1989, lost mostly all except 20 lbs and gained again during my second pregnancy in 1995. In 1997 I lost the weight and pretty much kept it off until 2013. I gained a few pounds here and there throughout the 16 years, but nothing to worry about. I was able to quickly get back on track and whatever little pounds I gained, usually five or ten, I'd lose quit easily and quickly.
Last year I started to notice that pounds were packing on easily, like now I'm 30 pounds heavier than I would want to be. My height is 5'9 and my weight is 170 lbs. When I first gained the extra poundage I didn't mind so much. At ten pounds really didn't make much of a different, but then the next ten packed on so quickly that couldn't even catch my breath before the last ten just seamlessly laid on.
Nevertheless, I do feel healthy and fit, however, with this extra weight I am not feeling as sexy as I once did. I went to Cuba recently and didn't even take one bikini shot, well I did, but wasn't going to dare post it on any of my social networks, I mean the pics were not all that bad, but they were not all that great either.
So here I am now, 30 lbs overweight and wanting to badly get back down to my original size of 140. I don't look fat at all, and in fact if I didn't lose a pound again I'd be okay and look fine. It's just that, due to future health, I want to ensure that I am in tip top shape. I don't want to worry about doctor appointments, prescription meds and an unhealthy lifestyle stealing the quality of my life.

I will post pics next week and show you my weekly progress and weight loss. From time to time until Dec 20th 2014, I will post pics to show you what I'm eating and how I cooked it. WARNING I am a vegetarian so most of dishes will be mainly vegetables, but I will throw the odd fish, shrimp and seafood on the menu.
