About Me
"The good Lord gave you a body that can stand most anything. It's your mind you have to convince." Vince Lombardi

2012 is my third year here. 2011 was not that great for actual weight loss, but ended the year 5 pounds lighter. So, it was basically a year of not re-gaining the good losses of 2010. Began here Jan. 2010, and lost 33 pounds. Not amazing, but not lousy. I'm pleased with the outcome based on my degree of effort. As 2012 begins, I have 17 I want to lose to obtain 'normal' status (based on BMI score). So that's my goal. Plus, when I did weigh 150 -- back before 2006 -- I was wearing 8s/10s and feeling good!

Never had a weight problem before 2006, but that's the moment in time that lots of issues hit me ... and issues just kept coming into my life over the next couple of years. Gained 55 pounds between January 2006 and January 2010. That's a lot to gain in 4 years! Many of the issues I'm facing haven't subsided, but I'm determined to not let them control my life. So...2010...lost 33 pounds. A good start to getting my body, my health, my self-pride BACK.

"Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts." -Winston Churchill.

"Discipline is remembering what you want." -David Campbell

Began 2010 with 55 pounds to lose. High blood pressure. High cholesterol. Lots of aches, pains, neuropathy.

2010 Weight Loss Progress:
Jan: 2.5 lbs. Not great, but a start! Feb: 6 more lbs.
March: 5.5 more lbs., 14 lbs for year. Apr: 3 lbs off.
May: 1 more lb., 18 lbs. total. June: 5 more lbs.
July: 3 more lbs., 26 total. Aug. 3 more lbs.
Sept: 1 lb, 30 total! Oct: ZERO LOST
Nov: Another month ZERO lost. Somewhere my momentum disappeared. But at least I'm not gaining! Will not stop this process until 50 lost!
Dec.: 3 pounds off! Determined to not give up due to the holidays!

Twelve months have gone by and I'm 33 pounds lighter! While I'm not whittling off this extra weight super fast, I'm still tickled with my results. Not stopping until 55 gone!

I'm more than half-way to my goal!

2011 Weight Loss Progess: Spent the year re-gaining, losing, re-gaining, losing. Two pounds here, three pounds there. Is this 'maintenance'? Am tickled that I didn't re-gain the 33 pounds I lost in 2010, and nice that ended the year 5 additional pounds lighter. But did not reach my goal of getting to 150. Am off all weight-related prescriptions and eating healthier than ever!

On to 2012! Determined to reach my goal!

Jan '12: Month ends with 3# of holidays still on body. 10,500 calories need to leave my body before I see my 2011 low number on scale.

    “ Who remembers this song? It's a good one to sing to ourselves ... in the shower, doing dishes ... cooking a healthy meal ... "You've got to accentuate the positive, Eliminate the negative, Latch on to the affirmative. Don't mess with Mr. In Between. Bring Joy up to the maximum, Keep gloom down to the minimum. Have faith or pandemonium is liable to come onto the scene." You can see lots of performers singing this on Youtube, and even get it as a ring tone!  A SLIMMIN' weekend to us all!”
