About Me

I've loved my veggies ever since I started gardening at age three, and my mom got into whole foods when I was an adolescent, so my food choices have been mostly healthy for a long time. Unfortunately, I patterned my intake after my daddy instead of my mom, so I'm years overdue at balancing my calories in and calories out. Not applying my preference for whole foods to desserts didn't help, either.

I lost 24 pounds in 2012; my goal is to lose 15 more in 2011, and then re-evaluate. The folks on the forums here are a big help both with advice on how to get fit and reduce, and support for sticking with it for the long term.

"If you're going to keep it off you've got to like how you've lost it enough to keep doing it."

Good luck on your fitness journey.
