I joined Spark People in the fall of 2007. I want to make exercise a priority in my life, for health reasons.
I lost my weight-42 lbs on Weightwatchers and have been at goal weight or lower since April 2006.
SparkPeople keeps me motivated to exercise and eat right so the weight doesn't come back.

Well I really had my feet knocked out from under me January 2010. I found out I had thyroid cancer. Had the thryoid removed January 28. I have had a radioactive iodine treatment March 12. March 15 I can go on my synthroid medication and should be feeling more energetic soon. I have put on another 5 lbs since the surgery- so I feel I have about 15 lbs to lose, but I can do this. I will start the exercise plan back up as soon as the meds start working. Right now all I want to do is sleep.
My goal is to lose 10 lbs by September 24. DH and I have started hiking and walking together again, which is fun and should help.
May 1 2011 Still trying to lose the weight. I just got diagnosed in February as a type II diabetic. If I lost some weight and exercise I may be able to stay off medication.
Goals:
135 by end of May
130 end of Jun
125 end of July
120 end of August

My Goals:
I'm just trying to get back to where I was 4 years ago. I gained back some weight due to thyroid issues.
Updated 7/18/2010. I have had thyroid cancer and had the thyroid removed and while waiting for RAI gained back some of the weight. I need to lose about 15 lbs. I am setting September 24 as my projected date to achieve this.
My other goal is to get my A1c tests down into the normal range so I don't have to go on diabetes medication.
My Program:
I'm following a 1200 calorie diet, along with treadmill 3 days a week and riding my new bicycle when the opportunity arises
