New Story!
A mom who lost the weight and is gaining it back!
I was doing great ! lost 75 pounds! and then I plateaued! I got tired ... stuck ... started feeling sorry for myself and now I am trying to find my way again. At 200 pounds I am "starting" a new journey. To stop over eating ... eat healthier, and be better to myself but mostly over eating. I refuse to go back to my other start weight and I am comfortable changing my goals to reflect my new target. A smaller more manageable, attainable 185... and then I will set a new goal, which will eventually lead me to 150. So let's get started!
I am a mother of three active kids all under 8. I started Sparkpeople in February 2008 after turning 34, and tipping the scales at 260. Here is my story....
I had belonged to a gym for 2 years and I went only a handful of times. My girlfriends had and continue to be my biggest champions. Together they made going to the gym "cool"..... and not scary! So finally after 2 years of membership and the best friends in the world there to support me ... I started going more regularly.. THEN .....WE MOVED! What was I going to do??? Well I started to gain .. and gain fast! They always say it is easier to put on the weight and harder to take it off. I at least found a house close to the gym knowing I would need to live close or I would find excuses to skip. But I still wasn't getting any results. So for my birthday... my one girlfriend came down to the new house for the weekend. She told me of a FREE website that would educate me, support me... and make me accountable. She likened it to facebook.. bcuz at the time you couldn't pry my fingers loose from the computer... I was always on facebook. So ,sure, I thought let me check it out! I have been online everyday since! I never miss a chance to spin the wheel... I log my food every day!! every ounce... ok some days not every ounce but pretty darn close! I eat really foods... I exercise really hard... I live the life of a thin person and one day my body will reflect those choices. It's working great so far... 62.4 pounds!! in 7 months! my goal is 150 ... lean muscles. I plan to be there by my next birthday ... but if I reach goal early you won't hear me complain.
