I began my weight loss and fitness journey on June 1, 2011 at 255 lbs. I discovered SparkPeople at the end of July 2011. As of December 31, 2011 I am down to 229 lbs for a loss of 26 lbs. In the year of 2012 I went from 229 lbs down to 201 lbs, which is 28 lbs. down for a total loss of 54 lbs. Also in 2012, in November, I had a regular check up with my doctor to go over lab results which were all within healthy, normal ranges for the 1st time in at least 10 years. No more high blood sugar, no more out of whack cholesterol and no more high blood pressure!

1) Lose the last 26 lbs. to reach my goal weight of 175 lbs.
2) Be able to wear a size 14 or smaller.
3) Keep up with my food tracking daily.
4) Exercise daily, even if it's only a brief amount. No excuses!
5) Read through my Message Pause/Rewind Daily Bible & attend church as often as possible
6) Continue exceeding water drinking goals daily
7) Make crochet Christmas ornaments throughout year to give to family & friends
