No Excuses! It's Life or Death...
My number one reason for joining is to find some support on my journey to get healthy. Not only do I want to lose a lot of weight (100+ lbs), but I want to BE HEALTHY. I want to lower my cholesterol and blood pressure, and build a strong body.

My starting weight was 279.4 lbs on January 28, 2011 when we had the first weigh-in for The Biggest Loser contest at work. When I joined SP on February 26, 2011, I weighed 270 lbs. My goal is to get down to 167 lbs (the last weight I remember feeling healthy and good about my body at) by February 28, 2012. At that point I'm planning to re-assess as my "healthy weight" according to all the charts is below 145 lbs. I'm thinking maybe 137 as my FINAL goal, but for now I'm sticking with 167.

My Goals:
1) Lose 112 lbs
2) Lower my BP - my pie in the sky goal is 110/70 consistently
3) Reach normal triglyceride and cholesterol levels. Raise my HDL to a healthy level.
4) Did I mention that I want to compete in triathlon by my 45th birthday (October 2012)? How crazy is that?
5) Write a book. Really. I want to be a published author.
My Program:
*Even though I was eating a vegan diet, I wasn't losing weight as I was relying a lot on convenience food and prepared meals (chips and salsa are vegan, but definitely not good for you). So I'm focusing on eating more vegetables, cooking from scratch, and eating healthy snacks.
*Eat three meals and two snacks per day.
* Cardio a minimum of an hour a day, 6 days a week.
* Strength training 3x/week.
