Introduction Text May ‘19 update: I’ve reached my goal weight and lost 305 lbs!! Woohooo. I’m working on my next life goals which include goals to maintain my weight at 145. A new chapter/journey is before me. I can do this! April ‘19 update: I am so close to my goal weight. Weighing at 153.2 and having lost 295 lbs. woohoo. I’m discovering new things about me: I love running, Yoga, and Pilates. I enjoy what our muscles and body can do when we train them in various ways. I fall in love with myself daily (something I struggled with for my whole life it seemed) March ‘19 update: I am under 169 lbs. I’ve lost over 280 lbs since my journey began. I’m learning I love to run, I love to do Pilates. Never thought I would ever say I love exercising lol.. Jan ‘19 update: Since Oct., I have lost the added 20 lbs and have found it easier to keep my workouts incorporated into my everyday routine than before. I feel stronger than ever, my confidence is back, and I’m more than willing to keep my good healthy lifestyle on track. Backstory: Was diagnosed t2 diabetic in ‘16. Changed my lifestyle and lost over 250 lbs since then. At my heaviest I weighed 450. I’m under 200 lbs now. In ‘17 I started SparkPeople to lose weight after I had hit a plateau. Then life hit and in April ‘18 through October ‘18 I struggled both emotionally and physically. I was no longer losing weight and gradually gain over 20 lbs back. I had my blood sugars low but still over ate portion wise. Starting to feel depressed, I realized I had to get back on track. Reaffirm my motivation, desire, and will to keep my good lifestyle habits strong.

Recognize sooner when a food trigger creeps up. Remind myself why I eat healthy to keep my motivation. Follow my daily plan until it becomes like second nature. To love myself more and to love my body even as it improves (with all this weight loss, dealing with emotions regarding my skin folds that hang).

Low carb and low sodium foods, exercise every day at least 30 mins (breaking some days up with 15 min intervals). Do running, Pilates, and strength training for arms and core. Drink water, water water.
