11 More Pounds to Goal! Getting there, slowly but surely...
May 11st - I've begun another 5% challenge, Spring Into Summer. and have changed my weight ticker further down this page to reflect the progress on the 7.5 lbs that would be my 5%. My exercise plan is to walk on the treadmill or outdoors at least 5 days a week, 40 minutes or more, plus strength training 3 times a week. My eating plan is to simply eat a healthy 1200 or so calories each day with a focus on more fruits and veggies. I will support my fellow Casual Travelers by visiting their ...
May 11st - I've begun another 5% challenge, Spring Into Summer. and have changed my weight ticker further down this page to reflect the progress on the 7.5 lbs that would be my 5%. My exercise plan is to walk on the treadmill or outdoors at least 5 days a week, 40 minutes or more, plus strength training 3 times a week. My eating plan is to simply eat a healthy 1200 or so calories each day with a focus on more fruits and veggies. I will support my fellow Casual Travelers by visiting their pages and encouraging them. and I will post my daily points to the team board and weigh in every Saturday morning.
Dec. 28, 2012 - Since joining this site, I've gone from 230 lbs to 155 lbs, a loss so far of 75 lbs. I have about 15 more to go to reach my goal. I've adjusted my goal weight, based on my doctor's advice, from 130 to about 140. I'll see how I feel at that point and then decide whether I want to lose another 5 or so.

Hi, my name is Karen, I'm 63 years old, and I'm DONE being the fat girl! Dieting doesn't work, but eating healthy foods and moving a little more does, so that is what I'm attempting to do. I am so thankful for SP and those here who share this journey to health and fitness! Welcome to my page - please leave a note to let me know you were here.

My Goals:
Lose 3 or 4 lbs per month till I reach my ideal weight.
A permanent lifestyle change with more fruits and veggies, more activity, less junk food. Moderation NOT deprivation!

1000 to 1300 calories a day, walk outdoors or on the treadmill at least 5 days a week.
I'm a happy FitBit user. It motivates me to keep moving and reach my step goal of 8,000 steps a day. Thru Fitbit, I discovered EarnedIt where points are awarded for active time and can be donated to various causes.

Personal Information:
I live in upstate NY, near Buffalo with my husband, our adult disabled son, and an uppity 10-year-old domestic shorthair housecat. :) I'm 63 and blessed with a husband of 44 years who loves me no matter what. Our daughter lives nearby with her husband and 9-year-old daughter.
I am a born-again believer in Jesus Christ. I strive to live as Jesus would have me live, and believe that my body is His and should reflect Him.
Other Information:
I crochet and enjoy making items for friends and family. Right now I'm working on a stuffed Scooby-Doo for my granddaughter.
