Introduction Text I recently joined Sparkpeople with the goal of losing at least 30 lbs by this fall. I decided it was time to get serious about losing the weight. I want to feel more energetic and better about myself. As of now I feel fatigued most of the time. It's been hard to get motivated about losing weight due to the lack of support. I hold strongly to the belief that it is much easier to do when you have a support/accountability partner or group. I am pleased to say that I have found the support needed to get motivated. Sparkpeople is an excellent source to connect with others. Combined with the new weight class at church I am finally on track to a healthier me.

My goal is to lose 17 lbs by July 11th, 2013. Also to get into better shape and hopefully adapt better eating habits.

I have cut back on what I eat. I now use the Sparkpeople food tracker to keep a record of what I eat and I try to stay within the daily limit. I've been exercising more and working up to drinking the daily recommended cups of water. I measure my food for portion control. I try to refrain from second helpings by eating slower and drinking more liquids during meals to feel full quicker. It's taking some adjustment, but I believe I can change bad eating habits into healthier ones.

Originally from Kentucky now residing in the Cincinnati area.

I love attending Bible studies, studying the Bible, helping others, creating works of art, writing , going to flea markets and yard sales.
