I'm new to SparkPeople and looking for some inspiration to meet my goals for 2011!

I've been heavy most of my life and lately I've been hiding my head in the sand about exactly how out of control things have gotten.

A year ago I came off a 100% raw vegan diet that I'd been doing for two and a half years. At first I lost a bunch of weight and was over the moon about being able to wear a size 6 for probably the only time in my life. But I was kidding myself when I believed that a raw food diet would protect me from regaining the weight. Many too many nuts and fats ballooned my weight back up to the 170s.

Now my goal is not to go to extremes with my diet and just monitor calories and make sure that I'm eating healthy.

My other major focus is to get fit and strong through good old fashioned sweat.

I'm looking forward to regaining the sense of confidence that I'd lost in the last year.
