Introduction Text I started SP right after turning 30. Amazing. I'm now 33. On approximately February 16, 2012, I joined SP and started out gangbusters. I quickly realized that motivation came and went and I definitely focused well on occasion and really not at all well on occasion. When I wasn't busy at work and could do meal planning was the best...but I was never comfortable focusing on personal stuff for long at work, even really important personal stuff. I slowly and painfully lost 20 pounds. Then came the holidays. I lost my job, was at home and surrounded by chocolate and candy and stressed as all heck. I stopped running to a great extent. Immediately after the holidays, I had a week cruise vacation that we had planned (and paid for) back in August. I took the stairs as much as possible, I actually made it to the gym two days, and did a significant amount of walking two days on land, and rode a horse, up to a canter, along a beach for an hour one day. I was sore!! 10 of the 20 pounds I had lost came back and established themselves on my ass. January 21, 2013, I came back here and started tracking my food again. In May, 2013, I moved to Sacramento, and started a new job. In September, 2013, I got married, and in October we did a 2 week cruise in Europe for our honeymoon. I was down to 185 on my wedding day (despite the food, wine, champagne, and cake tastings!) I was 195 when we got back from our honeymoon despite hitting the gym a couple times and walking a lot. Unfortunately, I also tweaked my back so I wasn't able to run too much. On April 10, 2014, my father in law passed away, and we've been in a fight with one of the other heirs of the estate since his funeral. It's been sad, and infuriating. When he passed away, my husband and I were on vacation, and I was down to 175. I bounced back to 195 over the past year, and I've been trying to get back to 175...and lowed ever since. Today, March 4, 2015, I am 189. My goal is 145. I will make it in 2015. http://www.bmi-calculator.net/body-fat-calculator/body-fat-formula.php

Medifast. Tracking everything, even when off plan. Running and lifting. Anything to rev my metabolism.

I want to feel good in my own skin again. I used to be an athlete, I used to be able to run miles and miles and even a marathon once. Then I went to law school. I need to lose about 85 pounds. My original goal was 150, but I recently discovered that I have 125 pounds of bone, muscle, internal organs, etc...so 150 would be exactly at 20% body fat. I don't know if that'll happen. But I'll see when I get there! Rewards: I decided that having set rewards doesn't work for me. I need to reach the goal and then decide on a reward. 220 - Massage - DONE! 215 - 150 - !

From Twitter: "I'm going to lose this weight or I'll die not trying!" "Everyone should be able to save their own life." I feel that I am too fat to look professional. Whether or not that's true, I don't know. I don't think so. But it is very very hard to find attractive professional clothes at this weight. If I get back down to a size 12 or (dare to dream!) lower, I KNOW I will find cute clothes that allow me to be professional and attractive. Even if I do have shoulders like a linebacker (Thanks dad!). I'm basically a 14 now, and I do feel MUCH better. I'd like to be a 12 or even an 8, but this truly is better!
