This is me 04-14-09, when I was about 145 lbs. which I THOUGHT was overweight at the time!

This is me a few weeks ago, welcoming my new grandchild. I weighed 175 lbs. then! Not anymore.

This is brave me, wearing a bathing suit, on April 13, 2010. This picture shows where the weight is.

It's time to work on ME!


Almost nine months ago I had a horrible accident. A horse fell on me (no don't laugh, it's not an excuse to get out of the exercise part of the program, it's true). I've gained a lot of weight from laying on my back, in hospital and then at home, doing not much! I don't have a disability, I have a determability! I need help and support. Thanks!

Member Since: 3/4/2010

Fitness Minutes: 839

My Goals:
I want to loose the 35 lbs. but the time goal is not as important because I can't do the exercise program yet, until my physio is finished.

My Program:
 I need to loose just under 35 lbs. I have a problem with "strenuous exercise" but can do some walking at this point.


Personal Information:
I live in Ontario, Canada! I am a knitter and love nothing better than a good pattern, or a great book (be it audio or "real" reading).

Other Information:
 My husband and I both joined today and hopefully when we are both motivated and pushing each other, we will be able to get to our goals easier.

    Congrats on quitting!! That is so incredible .. I know how hard it is although I've never smoked. My dad and my cousin both went through the quitting ... I'm so proud of you! How are you doing with the healing process? I'm doing ok .. still have issues with my hip/back/pelvis. I started the C25K running program, still stuck on week 1 after a month! lol It's all good, do what you can with what you have! emoticon

    I have been smoke free since March 21st at 10:38 p.m. I no longer smoke those nasty cancer sticks. I am happy about that. Now it's time to get the weight under control and life will look a whole lot better for me! Thanks for the support, it sure is needed and appreciated!!!

    Thanks so much! I have been trying hard to get to my weight goal but there were a few other things that needed attention as well! I DO appreciate the praise though, so THANKS! Congrats to you as well. WE CAN DO IT!
