Nobody trips over mountains. It is the small pebble that causes you to stumble. Pass all the pebbles in your path and you will find you have crossed the mountain. "Nothing tastes as good as FIT feels!"

August 2010: We ARE going to sign up for a 5K this fall. I want to tone-up in lots of little areas. We started a healthy-food and exercise plan in late November 2009 (right, just in time for the holidays). In about 2 months, I lost 20 pounds and felt SO much better! I was at 156 when I found SparkPeople on January 25 -- and slow but sure, I'm continuing to lose and get in shape. My goal is 115.

November-January 1, we were writing down every food and calorie. For the month of January, we tried something different -- very low carbs -- just fresh vegetables and lean meat and eggs. In February we worked back in some carbs, writing down & recording every calorie. For fitness, we were either mall-walking or using the treadmill and stationery bicycle -- and now that it's warming up, we're walking at least 2 miles each day outdoors. Can't wait for spring & summer.

My husband made his goal of 165 . . . and has actually gone down to about 160. I'm trying to get him a few more calories a day! On the other hand -- I've met my goal (115) and would actually like to get to maybe 112-113 so that I have a few pounds leeway. I do NOT want to go about 115! But, I'm wearing Size 4 now, and I don't want to wear a smaller size than that.

August 2010: Made my goal of 115! Lost 62 pounds! Feel TERRIFIC and want to stay here! April 1st: Start of a new month, feeling good, lost another pound and I'm just 23 pounds to goal. March 26: Whoopee!! I''ve lost 17 pounds since joining SparkPeople -- about 35 pounds total. And today I said goodbye to the 140s!--I'm at 139 -- and in the healthy BMI range!! March 9: Yippee!! I've lost 12 pounds since joining SparkPeople on Jan 25, and about 30 pounds total --SO, now I'm at 144 -- just 29 pounds to my goal of 115. That sounds nice -- under 30 pounds to lose. My next big milestone will be when I hit 139 and I'll be "in the 30s" again. Yaay!! Feb 16: Woo-hoo!! I've lost 8 pounds since joining SparkPeople on Jan 25!--about 26 pounds total. 33 more pounds to the goal. :) February 8: Yaay! I had hit a plateau, and suddenly there is movement on the scale. So now I've lost 6 pounds since joining SparkPeople -- about 24 pounds total since November 25th. 35 more
