I Am Strong

I never had to worry about weight until I was in my 20's, but I sure do now! I can't believe I've allowed myself to get to this point - needing to lose 140 pounds. Back and hip difficulties make it even more of a challenge, but I'm determined to make it happen! One step at a time! Just a few months until I'm 50 - 50!

My Weight-Loss Journey
2009/09/01 274 (my scale was 258 had to adjust per new scale)
2010/01/31 266 (250 adjusted per new scale)
2010/02/28 261 ...

Baby steps - they DO work!

Personal Information:
I love to quilt, target shoot, and do genealogy research. I also love to hike - but can't do so much with this extra weight. Motivation to work hard to get it off!:-) And I have no excuse now since I had my hip replaced!

One good thing about not being able to work on your quilt for too long is you have to get up and move. emoticon

Have a wonderful weekend.

Hi! You mentioned that you like to hike so I wanted to share a facebook page with you:

Losing It Like Bonnie ( My 100 lb journey )

Her name is Bonnie and she loves to hike too and has had an awesome weight loss. I follow her on facebook and she pretty motivational as well. Just thought you might want to check her out. You'll probably have to copy and paste since it didn't copy as a link or just go to facebook and type it in.

Happy New Year again! Sorry I did not reply to your fitbit question earlier but honestly I wanted to give it some time before I responded because it was still new. On first glance and first use I was disappointed. For 100$ it seemed like an expensive pedometer with a few more features. Now that I have been using it for a couple weeks I can honestly say I really like it. It tracks my steps, the stairs I have climbed and my daily calorie burn. Through syncing with the website I can track these daily without putting the information in manually. I love trying to beat my previous day. THe information I end up getting up daily averages and weekly totals keeps me motivated. I also like comparing myself to other fitbit users I have befriended through Sparkpeople. I also like the sleep tracker which lets me see how much I slept and how often interrupted. There is lots i like about this fitbit and I am glad I have bought it.
