I have been overweight ALL of my life. Although, I am overweight, I have also exercised all of my life and am fit and feel good. As I age (47), I'm feeling that I really need to focus on getting healthy. I want to be around to see my daughter grow up and I want to be able to activities with her and my husband. Food and eating is a big part of the weight loss equation and this is where I have the most difficulty. I have been doing Sparkpeople now for about 9 months off and on and have found that their processes and systems for recording food is the key to my success! I am so looking forward to really starting on the road to health and fitness.....eventhough I feel as though I have been on that road all my life. I am about to see success...I can feel it:)

Today 8/23 is nearly one year since I have gotten super serious with this weight loss thing . I say serious, because I have tried all my life to lose weight all without a plan. And all without success. For the past year I have been active on Sparkepeople tracking and interacting. I and also increased my exercise amount and intensity. So after a year, while I have not gotten to my original weight loss goal of losing 100 pounds, I have made a lot of progress. I have lost 25 pounds, I have lost several clothes sizes, I feel great. I have gotten so strong from weight lifting and my blood work has improved. I have gained so much knowledge about healthy foods, weight loss strategies, exercise techniques and more from Sparkpeople. The list could go on and on! So today I have re-evaluated my weight loss goals and am ready to begin losing weight again. HERE THEY ARE... Today my weight was 280 pounds. By the end of November, I will have lost 30 pounds

I work out at least 6 day a week. Monday - one intense hour with a personal trainer doing intervals with weights and cardio. Tuesday -- Strength class at gym for 45 minutes and at least 30 minutes of cardio before/after. Wednesday -- 1hour of Strike class Thursday -- 1hour with a trainer doing weights and cardio Friday -- 1hour Zumba class Saturday / Sunday -- one day will be off and I will work out the other day. One step. One minute. One mile. One workout. One choice. One bite. One meal. One hour. One day. One week. One pound.
