Introduction Text I've been at this weight loss journey for about 6 years. I started out at 230 lbs. I'm 5' 2". I was so out of shape that I couldn't walk one block without my lower back killing me and struggling for breath. At that time I smoked almost 2 packages of cigarettes a day. I had asthma from smoking and a mild case of COPD. The lowest that I have ever achieved is 154 pounds which I did in the fall of 2008. Last year my Mom took ill (she is 97 years old) and I had to go home for a month to put her in a nursing home. I did a lot of emotional eating and came back with about 26 extra pounds. Since then (after my Mom's death) I've gained even more. I'm back up to 211 ! Today - April 3, 2013 I am recommiting myself to the journey. My daughter's and I also have a challenge with each other. On another note as of April 25 2010 I will have been smoke free for 4 years. Also I have become much healthier all around.

Enter a summary of your goals, or just a few you would like to share. I would like to lose at least 35 more pounds and decrease my waist size so I'm in a healthy range!!

Calorie wise I try to stay about 1400 calories a day!

I'm from Lethbridge, Alberta Canada which is 2 hours south of Calgary. I have two beautiful daughters with families of their own and 4 wonderful grandchildren.

I mostly walk everywhere. I do aqua jog 3 times a week and swimming 2 times a week and do a Walk Off Fat DVD 5 miles with Leslie Sansone 2x a week. I work parttime 2 days a week.
