Introduction Text I've often joked that losing weight has been my second full-time job. I'd been a professional dieter since grade school. Now I look at things a bit differently. It's not as much about the number on the scale as it is about overall health. I'm always looking for ways to get better, and set goals that don't ignore the scale, but don't use it as my only barometer of success. I keep a "dashboard" of indicators to monitor my health now. How do I FEEl? What are my measurements? What are some small ways I can improve each month? I still have some weight to lose, but now I'm training for the long haul. I'm learning how to make this weight loss stick!

Short Term Goals: 1. I want to RUN a 5K this summer! 2. Be more consistent with exercise - increase my overall minutes, and number of days. 3. Keep drinking water. 4. Increase my fiber intake.

I began the medical weight loss program at my local hospital the summer of 2007 and had RNY surgery in early 2008. I work with a physician, dietician, nurse, and trainer. I attend a support group twice a month as well. My eating plan is high protein, low-fat and lower-carb.
