"Down" with the Weight

I'm Monica, single adoptive mommy to Mikey who is now 10 years old. Since he was 2 years old, I've been steadily putting on weight to the point that I feel that I can't keep up anymore! I want to be active and healthy for and with my son (and myself). It is time to get back on track. At the end of June 2009, I signed up for a year with Herbal Magic and it is my hope that I can drop 100 pounds in that year.

My title "Down" with the Weight is a bit of a play on words as my son, Mikey, has Down syndrome. One of my major reasons for losing the weight is that I want to be healthy and active for him - to ensure that his life is all that he deserves.

My Goals:
My goal is to lose 104 pounds by the end of next school year (June 24, 2010). This gives me a year to do this. Lofty goal... but one I believe that I can achieve :).

Short term goals are as follows:

- August 1 - 18 pounds lost - GOAL MET :)

- September 1 - 30 pounds lost - GOAL MET :)

- October 1 - 38 pounds lost - GOAL MET :)

- November 1 - 46 pounds lost - GOAL MET :) (47.5 pounds lost as of October 31)

- December 1 - 54 pounds lost

- January 1 - 62 pounds lost

- February 1 - 70 pounds lost

- March 1 - 78 pounds lost

- April 1 - 86 pounds lost

- May 1 - 94 pounds lost

- June 1 - 100 pounds lost

- June 24 - 104 pounds lost

My Program:
I joined Herbal Magic on June 24, 2009 and am committed to doing it for one year to see where it takes me. I am following their diet, tracking my food intake, drinking my 8 glasses of water a day, using the supplements that go with the program, planning to increase exercise to daily exercise and checking in with the consultant at Herbal Magic at lesat once a week.

Personal Information:
I live in Southern Alberta, Canada. I'm a special education teacher. I am also a single mother to a 10 year old who just happens to have an extra 21st chromosome (aka has Down syndrome). I'm currently in the process of trying to adopt a second child. In the middle of all this I'm looking to carve some time that will be used to take care of me. I know I can do it!

Hey Monica,
Thanks for the welcome.
I also found it a bit hard at first to get into a routine. I found it hard at work because I was always on the go. I started setting the alarm on my cell phone and when it would go off I would stop and eat.. if I didn't do that I forgot to eat LOL. I also pack my meals for the next day before I go to bed.... Makes it easier.
I look forward to having someone to talk to on here that knows what I'm going through.. Talk to you soon
