Sun, 7 Apr 2013 12:31:53 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=5313390 I have been doing alot of thinking lately about my life. Last night when I went to bed and couldn't sleep , I tried to figure out just what went wrong in my life, how I ended up today at 342 lbs. I've always struggled with weight but not to this extent. When I got married I weighed 200 lbs less then I do now ! Thinking about that last night really hit me hard, what have I done to myself ? This extra weight I am carrying around is affecting me in so many ways .... I have absolutely no energy,... Sat, 6 Apr 2013 08:21:41 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=4735036 I wrote this just before the holidays and thought I destroyed it. I kept it for some reason and so I have decided to share it. <BR> Here goes .... <BR> <BR> Time ..... <BR> <BR> We think we have lots of it! But we also tend to waste alot of it. Time we dont get back. <BR> Here I am, 45 years old and 160 lbs over weight. My legs and back ache and who am I kidding everything aches each and every day. My energy levels are a 5 out of 10 on a good day. My stomach bothers me all the time. I get ... Sun, 12 Feb 2012 11:32:42 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=3627253 I am very happy to say that I have lost 4.4 lbs. on the first week of my journey to a healthier happier me :) ! Sat, 11 Sep 2010 08:51:04 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=3421059 I was just checking my page and realized it has been almost 1 year since I have posted. <BR> I was down 48.5 lbs then . I have since regained most of that, I am now only down 16.5 lbs. <BR> Very discouraging. I could probably have been alot closer to my goal if I had just stuck with my plan. I am so mad at myself :(( Sun, 11 Jul 2010 18:32:13 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=2836071 I am so glad this work day is over. It started out first thing this morning with being late for work, then when I was running an errand this morning I locked my keys in the car while it was running (had to bum a ride home for the spare key) then had a confrontation with a coworker at lunch! She embarassed me in front of everyone. So, i am hoping that the rest of this day gets better. <BR> They say everything in threes, so hopefully that was my three for today! Wed, 3 Feb 2010 14:35:52 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=2804723 I am really struggling this week. I seem to have lost my motivation and I don't know where to look for it. <BR> I wish I could find a group that was doing a weight loss contest because I am a competetive person and I think that would give me the jumpstart to getting back on track that I need. Wed, 27 Jan 2010 13:54:43 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=2331658 I am feeling good today, got a great weight loss coment from an friend I havn't seen in awhile. Sure makes you feel good when someone else notices your efforts! Thu, 20 Aug 2009 12:28:06 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=2261584 I am so glad to say that I am officially below the 250 mark! It has been a long time since I have seen this weight. <BR> Got a long way to go but I feel and look so much better and am so much more comfortable in my own skin. <BR> Can't wait to see how I'll feel when I hit the below 200! I know it will take time but I will get there. I don't think I have ever been so determined to lose weight. Sun, 26 Jul 2009 21:22:31 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=2196353 It's been awhile since I've blogged but things are going better I am down 46.5 lbs since January! That is a big accomplishment for me. I even still have the motivation to keep going! Usually by now I've given up but not this time. <BR> Thanks to the support I recieve from spark people I am able to keep my motivation and not give up just because I slip up. <BR> This website has been the best thing to help me to lose weight and get healthy. I love it! Wed, 1 Jul 2009 20:29:37 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=1839246 I've been pretty busy lately and havn't been on the computer much, but I need to get back to the Sparks page to give myself some encouragement . Just reading what others are going through on their weight loss journey is a real big help to me. It lets me know that I am not alone in this journey. I have lost 23 lbs in the last 7 weeks, but I am am having a difficult time keeping my spirits up because I thought I would start to notice a difference in my appearance by now. My clothes are not as ... Sun, 1 Mar 2009 09:42:10 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=1756189 Hi everone I'm new at this and not real computer savvy so bare with me please. <BR> I jined a couple of months ago , but havn't done much to lose weight until lately.

I've been doing everything I am supposed to do I think. i just can't figure out what happened, it's really discouraging when you know you really tried. Anyway, if anyone has any ideas ...
