Just one pound at a time


May 5, 2007-Chapter 1

Hi, I am working to get back to the old me. So many people blame their weight on "baby fat" but I was actually 5 pounds less than pre-pregnacy and wearing a size 8 on my son's first birthday. Well, here I am 6 later and weigh 85 pounds more.

Update March 30, 2008 Chapter 2

Well, in the past 1 year I have lost 16 pounds. Not bad, but wish it were more. Lets hope this next Chapter is even better. Currently training for a 10k ...

Update March 30, 2008 Chapter 2

Well, in the past 1 year I have lost 16 pounds. Not bad, but wish it were more. Lets hope this next Chapter is even better. Currently training for a 10k walk. It is not a race but my personal goal is to finish in less than 2 hours.

Updated August 16, 2011 Chapter 3

Well CRAP, here we are again, I am up 10 pounds since I was on here over a year ago....time to get going again.

My Goals:
My goals are not only to improve my own health and weight, but to teach my son good habits so when he is an adult, he does not struggle with his weight. Wouldn't it be great if we could raise a generation who knew how to live healthy by instinct instead of the battle it is for us.

My Program:
 Daily Food Log, everything that passes through my lips counts, even a 15 calorie piece of candy.



Personal Information:
I am a single mother of a 11 year old boy. We live in the northwest suburbs of Chicago.

Other Information:
 Life is Like a Coin, you can spend it however you want, but you can only spend it once.

    Hi, I'm Pam. I live in East Dundee. I was reading through the Fox Valley Team and saw that you don't live that far from me. I live down the street from Haeger Potteries. I weigh about the same as you do now (of your ticker is up-to-date). I was 219 this morning, but I go up and down between that and 217. My goal weight is also 150 pounds. I have six kids and 11 grandchildren and I try really hard to be healthy for all of them. I understand about allergies. I don't have the food allergies, but I have a daughter who is allergic to potatoes, tomatoes, and such. And, I have a grandson who has tree nut allergies, among other things. Anyway, Hi! We live close!

    Hey there... I actually grew up in Michigan, my husband grew up in Illinois. He went to York High, Elmhurst.

    I actually know where Elgin is, I worked in Geneva at Delnor Hospital.

    It's a small world :)

    Keep up the great weightloss!!
