Just a note 9862

I live in Indianapolis Indiana, We have the race for the cure here every year for breast cancer. I got my T-shirt and # in the mail the other day . My # is 9862. I was looking at this this morning and realized that the 62  was the year I was born and oddly enough 98 pounds is pretty close to the 80 pounds that I need to lose to get to my goal weight of 150 pounds ! Now you might ask what 12 weeks has to do with all that. Well on 07/01/2012 I will turn 50 years old ! YIKES ! And from April 1 to July 1 my birthday, it is 12 weeks. I have been saying for years, that  I am going to lose weight and do,  then put it back on and then some .... So please join me as I start this quest yet again. I will be posting before and after pictures, recipes ideas for exercise and all that good stuff right here ! Please feel free to share struggles, what works, what doesn't pictures recipes any thing you would like . This breaks down to a little over 6.6 pounds per week ! Does anyone watch biggest loser ? Now I am also going to quit smoking on this day. Another habit I go back and forth with !
