Hello...
I'm Jen, and I'm here to lose the last few pounds and continue getting healthier. I follow a primal/paleo-ish diet and am quite active... these things are helping me reach my goals. I want to look, feel, and perform my best!
--- SCRATCH THAT --- I was so close to my goal, but had to stop the weight loss after finding out I'm expecting a baby! Due in July 2012, so for now just maintaining, keeping up as much activity as I can safely handle, and eating according to my original plan plus a little extra food ha!
UPDATE: I was blessed with a healthy baby boy on 7/6/2012. I was 192 pounds at the time, but reached my pre-pregnancy weight within two months. I'm on track to reach my goals now. Yay! --- BACK TO THE REGULAR PAGE---
My story:
I have been overweight most of my adult life, despite 10 years of vegetarianism. I've naturally moved toward a "primal" diet, still eating lots of veggies, but adding quality animal products (pastured, organic whenever possible).
In 2008-2009, I went from 196 to 165 pounds, with lots of exercise & dietary changes, but in early 2010, I gained some of that back due to medical issues. I am now even lighter than I was in 2009, thanks to lowering my carbs and avoiding processed foods. I've also found that I am gluten intolerant, and have overcome several minor health issues by being wheat-free. I feel much healthier than I have in years, maybe decades!
My progress is slow thanks to a thyroid condition, but it is steady. I refuse to give up.
Be strong!
Rewards for reaching my weight goals:
165: Art supplies - CHECK!
160: New hiking clothes - CHECK!
155: New boots - CHECK!
150: Day at the spa
145: Expensive pair of jeans
