I created this page when I joined Sparkpeople in March 2008 (it's now December 2009!), but took it offline and have done nothing with it since. But at the prompting of my friend, I'm going online! I got serious about my weight loss goal in April 2009 when I was at 172 pounds. I've lost 20 pounds so far, and my goal is 145 (maybe 140, depending on how I feel when I reach 145). My progress has slowed in the last couple of months (hard to stay in my calorie range this time of year!), but I'm ...

My progress has slowed in the last couple of months (hard to stay in my calorie range this time of year!), but I'm doing pretty well with exercise! I just ran my first 5K this past weekend, and want to do another in March, then a 10K in April. Sparkpeople has been a great help for me, mainly in tracking my food and exercise, finding helpful articles (just printed "Spark Your Way to a 10K"!) and recipes, and my very inspiring friend, Debbie!

My Goals:
- To lose 25-30 pounds
(goal weight 140-145)
- To maintain a healthy BMI
- To EXERCISE regularly to stay fit, strong, and healthy
- To get back to running regularly (after years of not running), including 5Ks and 10Ks
- To eat a healthy, balanced diet for nutrition (not for carbs, my sweet tooth, or fatigue)
- To make time to keep myself healthy, so that I can be better in all other parts of my life
My Program:
My basic program--such as it is--is to try to burn more calories than I take in on most days. My nutrition target is 1,500-1,600 calories/day, but honestly, most days I go over that by about 200. So I exercise most days--walking on the treadmill with an incline, running 2-3 miles, or stationary bicycle and swimming laps at the gym. My progress has been VERY gradual, but hopefully maintainable.
Other Information:
