I am 33 years old, am married, have a 3 year old daughter and a 1 year old son. I have struggled with my weight since I was about 12. Now that I am a mom, I really want to get my eating under control, and exercise regularly. I want to feel good about myself, teach my children healthy habits, and I want to have the energy to keep up with them. I don't want to be a lazy mom. I lost 51 lbs, but recently I gained back about 15. I'm going to get back on track in 2015!! Here are my goals: [X] reach weight of 210 lbs (July 2, 2013) [X] reach weight of 200 lbs (Aug 19, 2013) [X] reach weight of 190 lbs (Sept 25, 2013) [X] reach weight of 180 lbs (Nov 6, 2013) [ ] reach weight of 170 lbs [ ] reach weight of 160 lbs [X] complete local 8 week boot camp (Oct 17, 2013) [X] jog 5k without stopping (Aug 17, 2013) [ ] jog 10k without stopping [ ] be able to do at least one push up from my toes [X] be able to comfortably cross my legs (Oct 20, 2013) [ ] try cross-country skiing [ ] try the local high ropes and zip line park [ ] have my stomach measure smaller than my chest [ ] finish the entire "No More Trouble Zones" DVD with no modifications or breaks [X] complete a mud run / obstacle course (July 6, 2014) [ ] try kayaking [ ] try horseback riding [X] complete 12 week challenge (BLC23) with full effort (Dec 18, 2013) I am SOOOO glad that I've joined SparkPeople.

I want to: -feel more energetic -enjoy exercising -enjoy the taste of healthy foods -not hate pictures of myself -enjoy cooking -be more kind to myself

I'm not really following a particular program. Doing my best to exercise at least every 2nd day and to track my food most days. I refuse to give up ANY foods altogether. I completed the couch to 5k running program and have been enjoying getting out for runs.

I am 33 years old, married, and live in PEI, Canada.

"Such a Pretty Fat" by Jen Lancaster is a great chic lit book for any women trying to lose weight. It made me laugh out loud. :) "Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out." ~Robert J Collier
