Today, I decided that I am going to finally do something about my weight. I’m going to come right out and say it – I have gained 70 pounds over the past few years after I stopped playing softball after college and it’s time to take it back off and feel healthy again. The halfway mark will be losing 35 pounds and that is how much I weighed when I met Josh in 2006. I’ll be pretty happy when I even get halfway.
I joined myfitnesspal.com to help me stay organized and track my progress. Anna was the one who I found the site from because I saw her using it on Facebook. I’m so glad I did. I’ve only been using it for a day and I can already see that it will an integral tool in my success.
Wish me luck!
Also, here are a few more photos of Josh’s fishing trip yesterday from my father’s point and shoot camera. Enjoy!
That’s my grandpa. :)
This one is my favorite. I love how Josh takes pictures. :)
Hi Josh!
Coming back in to the dock.
Love the pics. I hope you can get the weight off too.
Thanks for introducing me to that website. I’ve gained around 40 pounds since meeting Dustin and I hate hate hate it. I may join you and try to get rid of that weight!
I know you can do it Caity! You’ve already got a lot of experience making dietary changes, so I know you’ll do great!
I just joined up on Spark People last night, but I think I’m going to join this one, too. :) Good luck!
Gee Cait, I know what u mean. I have gone up 5/6 sizes
since i got married! Okay I had 2 babies, quit smoking, went through meno. And found out this medication I have been on (antidepress) puts on weight. BUT 30lbs have been in less than 2 yrs. It really hard,especially when u love to eat. I just started to be good, gonna check out that website. You are still very young U will do fine. But stay out of the restaurants. I dont know about u but I CAN NOT behave when I go out to eat, I dont see the point, lol.
Keep In touch. Oh and remember sex burns up lots of calories so if u do go out for dinner and have dessert just make like bunnies hehe
YAY! I really love the MFP site so far. I used to use SparkPeople a lot but it is SO BLOATED with stuff. Myfitnesspal is more simple and streamlined.
And as for the weight loss YOU CAN DO IT!!! I know when you are first starting out that it can be a tough hill to climb but I know that you can be successful and if you need any advise or encouragement along the way, let me know! :)
Good luck on the weightloss. You can do it! :-) I’ve recently put on a lot of weight after losing about 100 pounds a few years ago, and really want to get it taken off again. I might have to check out that website.
Awesome pictures. I like them all, but would have to say that the 4th one down is my favorite. :-)
Oh wow the sunset pictures are awesome! Good luck on your weight loss doll. I need to lose some weight too so I’m gonna check out the fitness site.
Beautiful photos Caity! That’s awesome and I know you can do it. I’ve been through that and I’m happy that I managed to lose 20 kilos. It was hard work but it paid off in the end

Good luck with the weight loss. Its definitely a slow process but worth it in the end.
Good luck with the weight loss. I know you can do it:)
Thanks Caity I appreciate your condolences! Yeah my psychiatrist is always there whenever I need her. She gave me an updated dosage on my klonopin, and said if I wanted to come back with in a month or the next few weeks, she’ll be more than happy to set me up. But within the next few weeks; we’ll probably be moving. So I told her I think I’ll be good for now. She also gave me two months supply of my medicines, so that’s good.
Anyway…
I LOVE those sunset pictures! Very pretty, and I also am digging the new layout.
Good luck with the weight loss!
More amazing photos! Thanks for sharing!
good luck! i know i’m what alot of people online consider not very heavy, but i’d like to shape up my stomach some..i’m lazy though :( but I do wish you luck :)
websites like that are totally the best way to lose weight. It’s all about being aware of what you’re eating and how many calories you’re burning.
Admission is the first step to getting somewhere. I wish you the best of luck with your weight loss journey. As I know from experience, it definitely isn’t easy. *hug*
