Journey to a healthier me
My name is Laurie. I am mom to 3 beautiful girls and wife of 20+ years to an amazing guy. I graduated with my BSN on May 9th and passed my NCLEX June 2, 2010. I have been working as an RN on a cardiac floor since then.
I have spent my life trying many fad diets and non-fad diets. I've joined the gyms, paid for a year or two and only set foot in them a few times. I joined Weight Watchers and NutriSystem too many times to count. I lost weight and put it back on + 10%. ...

I have spent my life trying many fad diets and non-fad diets. I've joined the gyms, paid for a year or two and only set foot in them a few times. I joined Weight Watchers and NutriSystem too many times to count. I lost weight and put it back on + 10%. Wishing weight away and trying to lose it all at once definitely does not work.
The opening of a Gold's Gym 3 blocks from my house coincided with my preventive doctor's visit and the heaviest weight that I've ever had documented with my physician. So I joined. I signed up with a personal trainer. I found SparkPeople in December 2009. I love that it is FREE! I track all of my food. To date I have lost 68 pounds and continue to do so slowly and steadily at a pound a week. I have quite a ways to go, but I know that I can do it now, for real.
Update January 27, 2011
Signed up for the Gold's Transform Your Body Challenge on January 17th.
Update March 20, 2011
To date I have lost 21.3# while working the Challenge. There are 3 weeks left.
Update April 9, 2011 - End of Gold's Challenge
Total weight loss - 30#, only 15 more pounds to reach goal weight!
Update October 7, 2011
My journey took a little detour when school started up. I am back and refocused. Starting a personal 12 week challenge today. Still working toward that goal!
