Introduction Text But now in 2014, I've put a few of those pound back on and am teetering between "normal" and "overweight". I need to refocus for the rest of the year. Winter was rough here in Wisconsin. In 2011 I was classified as "obese". My goal was to hit a healthy "normal" BMI by 2012 - and I did it! February 2011's reason's I wanted to lose weight: 1. I don't have any energy after work to play with my children (this is very sad to me). 2. I'm embarrassed to take my children swimming. I'd like to not be self-conscious in a swimsuit. 3. Someone at work asked me if I was expecting!!!! This was an eye opener. 4. Prove to myself that I can do this. That I am not a quitter! UPDATE FROM SEPTEMBER 2011 - After 25 pounds lost 1. My butt is not glued to the couch anymore, I definitely have more energy. 2. I'm still embarrassed to be in my swimsuit - but now it's because it has so much fabric! (But I have 15-20 pounds to lose yet before I buy another one!) 3. Nobody has put their hand on my stomach lately and asked when I'm due :-) 4. I am not a quitter. I will go all the way. I still have 15-20 pounds left to lose. UPDATE FROM DECEMBER 2011 - After 35 pounds lost 1. I'm exercising more than I ever have before! 2. I'm buying a bikini swimsuit - and I'm actually going to wear it! 3. I'm constantly being told how good I luck and people are asking how much weight I lost and what tips I can give them. 4. I did it! **NEW** 5. I want to push myself to get down to my pre-pregnancy weight of about 130 pounds. 10 to go. SLOWLY over the entire 2012.

1. To lose 50 pounds total: 170.2 lbs (5%): Met 4/9/2011 161.2 lbs (10%): Met 7/29/2011 154.2 lbs (25 lbs lost): Met 9/9/2011 141 lbs (in my healthy wt range): 12/24/2011 1st Goal: 139 lbs: Met 12/31/2011!!!! Ultimate Goal: 129 pounds 2. To make exercise a routine. To not hate it.

Right now I'm enjoying this weight loss journey (exercise and nutrition are my main hobbies). I do also enjoy my children and our small hobby farm (sheep, ducks, chickens, geese, rabbits), and traveling (we go somewhere 3x/year). Other hobbies I enjoy that I haven't had much time for are: painting rocks and watercolor, making wine (which I give away and don't drink), playing piano, cooking (baking), writing novels and short stories, reading, learning spanish, and quilting.
