Introduction Text I REACHED MY GOAL JULY, 2008!!! BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY THIS...IF I CAN DO IT, SO CAN YOU!!! BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!! I started taking my fitness seriously on June 1st 2007, and I have really noticed some positive changes. It stopped being a struggle sometime in September 2007, and now I feel as though a fit lifestyle is second nature. I still struggle with eating while bored, but I AM enjoying gym time without having to "psych" myself into going. This is NEW, and was an "acquired" taste - LOL!! Everyone's Sparkpages have been so inspirational to me, and you give me so much hope. A million thanks.

I would like to weigh 140 pounds, and feel firm and healthy like I used to! UPDATE: July 10, 2008 - I weigh 139.8 I have not been in the "130's" for 10 years...thank you Sparkpeople!! My new goal is to stay in the 130's for the rest of my days and to inspire others that they can do the same.

I am logging on to SparkPeople many, many times per day, and hitting the gym at least 5 times per week. I am trying hard to limit my night time grazing, which has been my downfall. I am also visiting other people''s pages for inspiration - it really works!

My name is Joann and even though in 2006 I moved from NY to Chicagoland, I still consider myself a New Yorker!

I really got out of shape November 21, 2006 after abdominal surgery. It took me several months to realize it would be really hard work to get back on track. Now, thanks to several months of Sparkpeople, I am enjoying being more fit than I have in years. Now, if the weight would just keep dropping, I would be *really* satisfied! LOL!
