I have been overweight ever since I can remember. I don't what to have the health issues that are lurking around the corner if I don't change soon!! I am ready to be more healthy. I don't think that I will ever be model material, but I want to be able to walk and not be weary and run and not faint. I want to eat good foods and enjoy them, and remember that I am a machine. I need to feed myself good fuel. UPDATE FEB 2011: I have lost 60 pounds, I feel great, I haven't really been killing myself, but I've been steadily picking away at it. It is fun to see myself emerging from that shell. I am finding my old spunk and pluck, I find that I was using that weight as a force field so to speak to protect myself from so many things. and not I am feeling so much more so I am updating some pics here, I am a bit more exciting. I don't check in every day, not often at all, i just use this as a tracking device really. and I still go to the YMCA.

I want to have more energy and stamina. I want to be able to walk 3 miles by Christmas. I want to go on vacation with my family and be able to hike and bike for hours! I want my panus to not be so obvious in my pictures.

Walking 2 times a week. Eat 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. Being accountable for what I eat. Tracking my food intake. Lifting weights 2 times a week. Try to maintain the 5000 steps every day



I am a single mother of 4 beautiful children, 3 girls and a boy. I love to sew, knit, read, stitch and garden. I am usually cheerful and happy. Oh yeah, I have 4 kitties!! =^..^=
