July '05, in my flower garden. Probably 170 lbs. Still fooling myself about my weight!





March '07, about 180 lbs. I was shocked to see how heavy I looked - I was sure I was thin!





Me 20 years ago - not skinny, but at my goal weight!



I have 10 pics in my gallery

I have been struggling with my weight ever since the birth of my first child over 22 years ago.

My postpartum metabolism could not cope with my bad habits and I have been paying the price ever since. A diagnosis of pre-diabetes scared me into getting serious. Time to lose the weight and get fit!!

I have been struggling with my weight ever since the birth of my first child over 22 years ago. Before that I ate all the wrong foods in great quantity and never consciously exercised, but my youthful metabolism kept my weight in check. My postpartum metabolism could not cope with my bad habits and I have been paying the price ever since. A diagnosis of pre-diabetes scared me into getting serious. Time to lose the weight and get fit!!
I was almost at my goal weight in the summer of 2010, but have gradually slipped back into my old habits and regained 34 pounds since then. Not proud of that, but I'm going to keep trying!
And yes, to those who've asked, my lettuce background is a portion of our farm - we grow organic vegetables for the local stores.
