It goes without saying that if a weight loss blog goes untouched for a month, the new ususally isn't good.  Well, that's no different here!  After a vacation, the willpower never really got back up to snuff and then we entered the summer birthday season and everything went out the window.  Add to that opening ourselves up to another blessing of a baby and needless to say it's been a struggle.  I (Jason) am currently about 15 pounds above my Medifast low, but still 21.5 less than when I started the diet in March.  My wife is more or less maintaining as we see if God has another child in store for us. 

But I'm going to start anew.  I'll update the blog with my progress and thoughts as the journey continues.  The target weight loss is 82 pounds and if I can stick with it, I know I'll get there by Christmas.  Of course, it's not lost on me that if I didn't falter starting in about June, I'd already be more than halfway there, but those are the breaks!
