Hi,
My name is Jen. I was born in London, England, but now I live in the OKC area, Oklahoma. I am 46, and I am determined to get down to my goal weight. I was never an inactive person, but somehow over the years of raising children, going to school, and working full time the pounds packed on. I weighed a few months ago and was absolutely shocked that my weight was 190lbs. I have since lost 20 pounds, but have my long term goal weight of 130lbs to reach. I hope this site will help me to ...

Hi,
My name is Jen. I was born in London, England, but now I live in the OKC area, Oklahoma. I am 46, and I am determined to get down to my goal weight. I was never an inactive person, but somehow over the years of raising children, going to school, and working full time the pounds packed on. I weighed a few months ago and was absolutely shocked that my weight was 190lbs. I have since lost 20 pounds, but have my long term goal weight of 130lbs to reach. I hope this site will help me to achieve that.

Update: Despite tracking my meals, getting addicted to running 5K races, I have not lost any more weight in months. Many years ago when I was 170lbs, I watched my calorie intake and worked out vigorously, (three days a week Tae Kwon Do, and two days a week kickboxing) for four whole months and lost 0 pounds. It appears my body just won't let me go dwon below 170lbs. So annoying I went to 166 then gained it back to 170lb.

Not happy. 22nd October, 2012
