I have started over! I officially weighed-in today. I have already dropped 65 pounds since I started in January of 2010. The first half is DONE!!!!

I have lowered my BMI from 49.9 to 36.8 --- still a long way to go, but not as far as when I began! My body fat percentage is now in the acceptable range and very close to the fitness range. I have lost nearly 25% of my starting body weight.

Now for those last 40 pounds....... slowly but surely......

Personal Information:
I teach fourth grade. I have been teaching for 16 years. I have a little girl, 9.
I was a dancer and a soccer player in junior high, and a varsity cheerleader in high school. I know what it is like to be in shape and at a healthy weight. I miss it.
I lost my parents in 2006 and 2008. They both went too soon...and both form complications associated with obesity. I don't want to think that I might follow in their footsteps.
I have the support of a good doctor and lots of friends....and I have lost 65 pounds so far.

Other Information:
I spent 2010 making up for lost time. I lost 65 pounds over the course of a year and a half, and I continue to work on it. I have developed habits to take me through the rest of my life. Exercise is a reward now, not a punishment. Food and I have come to an understanding as well....
I am making goals for myself that a year ago I would have laughed at. NO MORE! I have seen what I am capable of....

Happy Friday-We made it to the weekend!

My daughter has a cold so of course she wanted hugs and now I have it too. She’s fifteen and so touchy –feely all of a sudden. She was opposite to my friends kids….she wasn’t as open with us until last year. My son is trying to take care of me while I am not feeling well—so sweet. I am slammed at work so the show must go on.

This weekend is my last weekend to pack for moving. I move on the 19th and still have so much to do. I’ve resulted to sitting things on the curb just to get rid of them.


What are your plans? How’d you do on your goals this week? I basically stayed on track…needed to exercise more.

I was thinking this morning---


Your thoughts matter. They can affect your physical body and actually make you sick.
