Starts 1-19-2011

A few years ago I was diagnosed with epilepsy and that has changed my life.  Every day I have to take medication to ensure that I do not have any seizures.  OK so before I get the the details of my challenge I'll give you some info about myself.  I am 5'11" and before I was diagnosed with epilepsy I weighed 150 and it was very easy for me to control my weight, the only down side is I was able to eat what ever I wanted when ever I wanted.  So I know some people would think what are you complaining about, I cant lie I use to love it, but I was not heathly at all and since my diagnosis I have gained 35 pounds and I cant seem to stop.  I have made a few changes that seem to have slowed down my weight gain but I still keep gaining weight. As of 1/19 I am going to do what ever I can for the next 12 weeks to see if I can change my life around.  I will post picture updates once a week showing the progress that I make.  My dad even told me that if I can make my goal he will take me out to dinner to celebrate.  I will also post what exercising I was able to do daily so at the end I can see what I did.  Wish me luck on my journey!
