Let's Go!!!

This is my first post! I'm so excited. Sadly, it seems that I've been trying to lose weight all of my life, but I'm finally ready to change how I view myself.

So...how did I come up with my blog name- Inner Video Vixen? Anyone who knows me knows that female empowerment, self-respect and role-modeling are all issues that are very dear to my heart, and these are not necessarily themes that come to mind when you think of a Video Vixen! But you know what?? Just between me and you, I can admit that I've always admired how confident these women seem to be with their body image. I want to be like that! How men seem to salivate when they sashay into a room- I want to be salivated at! How their jeans and dresses and tops seem to fit just perfectly, no everyday girdles required- I want to look like that!

So....the Inner Video Vixen has been born. God help me lol.

I hope that my journey inspires you to meet whatever goals you have in your life- weight loss or otherwise. My primary goals for this blog are to hold myself accountable, have a point of reflection, and to finally meet my weight loss/maintenance goals in 2010.

Speaking of goals..... you can always find my ultimate goals listed to the left. I'll also update you weekly with my measurements and weight loss (see below). Wish me luck! 165---- Here I come!
