July '05, in my flower garden. Probably 170 lbs. Still fooling myself about my weight!





March '07, about 180 lbs. I was shocked to see how heavy I looked - I was sure I was thin!





Me 20 years ago - not skinny, but at my goal weight!



I have 8 pics in my gallery

I have been struggling with my weight ever since the birth of my first child almost 20 years ago. Before that I ate all the wrong foods in great quantity and never consciously exercised, but my youthful metabolism kept my weight in check. My postpartum metabolism could not cope with my bad habits and I have been paying the price ever since. A diagnosis of pre-diabetes scared me into getting serious. Time to lose the weight and get fit!! So far, I'm doing it and I give SparkPeople most of ...
I have been struggling with my weight ever since the birth of my first child almost 20 years ago. Before that I ate all the wrong foods in great quantity and never consciously exercised, but my youthful metabolism kept my weight in check. My postpartum metabolism could not cope with my bad habits and I have been paying the price ever since. A diagnosis of pre-diabetes scared me into getting serious. Time to lose the weight and get fit!! So far, I'm doing it and I give SparkPeople most of the credit for keeping me in line!
And yes, to those who've asked, my lettuce background is a portion of our farm - we grow organic vegetables for the local stores.

I noticed from one of the message boards that your starting weight and goal weight were similar to mine and that you were almost at goal--it is a good motivator to see someone be successful!

Just dropping by to see how things are going. My great-grandmother had a woodburning stove when I was a little girl. Do you cook all your family's meals on it?

Thanks for stopping by to say hello. You are making wonderful progress , I see you're almost at goal. Thats Great!
Im doing okay, just dont have as much puter time as I used too or would like to , but I must make time for what keeps me accountable,and thats my SP friends like you.
Yes the smoke devils are gone for good and good ridens , cant believe I started that nasty habit in the first place, yuck.
To tell the truth, I havent had a real craving for nicotine since I quit Jan 1st, but I do crave for food more. So I am working on finding a balance for that so as not to gain wt.
I say one meal at a time, is the only way to do it,
Have a good Day
