Introduction Text I've always started diets...I'm really good at starting diets and planning on success....just not with the follow through. My husband and I have survived the first year of marriage....now it's time for the baby in the baby carriage! :) Before any of that can happen though, I need to lose weight and make myself a healthy momma!! I'm looking to shed weight, emotional baggage that comes with a lifetime (I'm 29) of being overweight, and all the things that could rob me of the best life possible with the best man around (yes, I'm biased about The Hubs!) Any Sparklers that would like to join me on my journey, feel free to friend me!! I hope to inspire as I am inspired by all the amazing work many of have done and will do. It's time to start living for us!

I want to lose 225 lbs (gulp!!) But I've broken it down into increments that are easier to achieve. 1. Lose 20 lbs by 3/18/11 **************************** 2. Lose 40 lbs by 5/1/11. **************************** 3. Lose 65 lbs by 6/24/11. **************************** 4. Lose 80 lbs by 8/2/11. **************************** 5. Lose 100 lbs by 10/1/11. **************************** 6. Lose 115 lbs by 11/1/11. **************************** 7. Lose 140 lbs by 12/31/11. **************************** 8. Lose 160 lbs by 2/14/12. **************************** 9. Lose 175 lbs by 3/17/12. **************************** 10. Lose 190 lbs by 5/1/12. **************************** 11. Lose 200 lbs by 6/1/12. **************************** 12. Lose 210 lbs by 7/1/12. **************************** 13. Lose 220 lbs by 8/1/12 (My final goal and the day before the Hubs B-day! :) )

I am eating consciously. I will be monitoring my portions, and following the diet in the PCOS Workbook...which is as follows: (the numbers indicate servings) Breakfast 1 Fruit 1-3 Grains/Starches 1 Fat Snack 1-2 Fats 1 Fruit 1 Protein Lunch 1-2 Grains/starches 3 Proteins 2-3 Vegables 2 Fats Snack 1 Protein 1 Fruit Dinner 3-5 Proteins 1-2 Fats 1-2 Grains This is to have me consume between 1400-1600 calories a day, eat every 3-5 hours and stop eating after 8pm.

Who am I? I'm 29, married to a great man, live in beautiful (if not frigid) Minnesota. I love to cook, invent new recipes, crochet, learn new hobbies, make jewelry, read, write, and spend time with family, friends and The Hubs. I am looking to lose weight, reverse or at least have a tight contol of my PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) and I hope that at the end of this journey, on top of gaining my health and a sexy body -I am hoping to be able to have a baby.

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it. Life is beauty, admire it. Life is bliss, taste it. Life is a dream, realize it. Life is a challenge, meet it. Life is a duty, complete it. Life is a game, play it. Life is a promise, fulfill it. Life is sorrow, overcome it. Life is a song, sing it. Life is a struggle, accept it. Life is a tragedy, confront it. Life is an adventure, dare it. Life is luck, make it. Life is too precious, do not destroy it. Life is life, fight for it. -Mother Teresa
