In January 2007, I weighed 420 lbs . In February 2009, I was down to 255 lbs and within 100 lbs of my goal weight. I couldn't get the scale to budge and gave up. By August 2015, I hit a personal high at 442 lbs. Now I'm on a renewed journey to health.

Renewed Journey

Hello again! I had to do a lot of investigating to find this old blog, but I'm glad to be back. A few weeks ago I had a personal experience that scared me enough to get my health straightened out. Perhaps I'll share that experience when it's less raw. Right now I'm recommitting to cut calories, recording my food intake everyday on Lose It!, adding more fruits and vegetables to my diet, and walking more.

I look forward to walking a 5K four to five days a week; that's what I was doing at my highest fitness level when I got down to 255 lbs a few years ago. My husband and I went on a 1-mile hike yesterday, and it became very clear how far I have to go. I also got my new before photo :-)


And one of my sweet husband:

Yes! I applaud your courage and determination to get going again. You and me both! We can do this.

You and I both know how much it takes to make permanent changes, especially starting out so high as we did. Lots of learning and changes to make. Well, we are headed in the right direction. Go us! :-)
