I struggle. I struggle all the time. I am a compulsive overeater and binger and will readily admit that I 'eat my feelings'. And while I may be dormant socially on SP sometimes, I keep coming back because even a distant connection keeps my head above water in this ongoing struggle!! I'm searching for balance and acceptance in myself more than I'm searching for big weight loss. I haven't quite figured out how to balance and maintain weightloss. I lose, sometimes a little, sometimes a lot, then I gain it back. And boy can I gain weight easily! I swear I can gain 5 lbs just by LOOKING at the food. I want to be strong, healthy, and happy. I want to get out of my comfort zone, (which usually involves food!) and actually live life, not just watch it go by. I love the support that SP gives me - the more friends the better! These are my goals: Think Positively Exercise Daily Eat Healthy Work Hard Stay Strong Worry Less Read More Be Happy

While I don't want to be defined by a number, I do want to have things to strive towards: I will NOT get on a scale more than once per week. So I lost 90 lbs between March 2013 and March 2014. And then gained it all back again over the next 2.5 years. So I'm back where I started. But I'm back. So there's that. Start weight Goals: - 320 - 310 - 299 - 289 - 279 - 266 - 259 - 249 (lowest adult weight and general 'finish' line goal) Other goals: - to be a positive person - to not feel like the largest person in the room all the time - to shop in regular stores - to be able to do things like kayaking or fly on airplanes without concern of not fitting - to be someone that says 'well, I just got back from my run, but SURE I'll go for a walk with you.'

Lots of veggies and fruit, lean meats and whole-food snacks (nuts and seeds etc.) No grains, corn, potatoes, dairy or sugar. Generally higher protein and fat, lower carb, but not Atkins low-carb. Making good choices. Eating to satisfy, no to stuff. Incorporating exercise. Cardio - elliptical, swimming, walking, hiking, occasional video Strength training using plan designed by a trainer utilizing free weights, bosu, exercise ball. Yoga

I'm single, work full-time and live alone in Victoria BC Canada. I have my fur babies, Bonnie and Clawd though! I'm 41 yrs old and I'm a little over 5'9" tall (I tell you this just cause when I see pictures of people at certain weights everyone is so different and I always wonder - how tall are they!!?? So now you know how tall I am. :)

The more friends the better!
