All I need is the "S" on my chest!
A family member took pictures at a Thanksgiving gathering and even though in the back of my mind, I knew I had been gaining weight, it didn't set in until I saw that picture that I needed to lose weight and get in shape. I started my weight loss program on January 5, 2009 and am well on my way to being fit in 2010 and beyond!
What I am DONE with or in the process of being DONE with:
1) Being severely obese (BMI was 1 point away from being morbidly obese) - DONE!!!

Inspiration:
Isaiah 40:28-31 (New International Version) - One of my favorite inspirational scriptures from the Bible; and I just realized it could have an application to health/weight loss/exercise:
"Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one can fathom.
He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.
Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
But those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint."

Other Information:
"How do you go from where you are to where you want to be?" Jim Valvano
I would answer, especially in the case of weight loss - a lifestyle change. In order to maintain any weight loss and truly lead a healthy life, a lifestyle change must occur. Healthy, clean eating; exercise; and wise choices have to be incorporated into your life. Then the fruit of your labor will remain with you throughout your long, healthy life!!!
