I am 41 years old now.. I have accomplished alot on this journey.. I started out at 370 pounds.. Im still a work in progress but have released almost a whole person In 2010 I lost my dad to cancer from smoking and I let my life go. along with taking care of my disabled mom wheelchair bound now. so alot of hurdles to overcome. well enough of letting my life go. its time to take it back and thats what I am doing this new year.. alot of changes to come. my life is still unwritten. and im writing it this year!..
I am 25 years old. Two boys (2.5 years old, 3 months old). Husband is active duty army. I gained 90lbs during my second pregnancy and am in the process if losing the weight. 45lbs gone, 45 to go! After my first pregnancy I gained and lost the baby weight and will do it again!
I am 64 turning 65 in a May and retired (altho I still teach 3 mornings/week). I was vegetarian for 12 or so years before going vegan 2 1/2 years ago. I have read just about every book out there on plant-based eating and they were all motivational for me, well, maybe except for "Veganist" by Kathy Freston. Didn't agree with that one. My first book was China Study and then I mowed through all the others. Just can't read enough about it. It keeps be motivated to go the "whole foods" route.
Hi I am a 45 year old mother of a 4 year old and currently a librarian at an elementary school. I lost weight 2 years ago and became really fit but then broke a rib and gave up...literally gave up. I did a boot camp last year and completed it but was horrified at myselff. Now, a year later, heavier and out of shape more than ever, I just went to the doctor in Feb 21012 and he prescribed 7 meds, lifelong for COPD, asma, etc. So, I chucked the meds in March and started a 30 day juice fast to kick my health back in! Goal accomplished! OH yes, and even as a Librarian and lifelong teacher, I am horrib-le typist, sorry. I get really motivated and then as soon as I start seeing results or start feeling better I tend to sabotage myself.(Point in fact, right after my blood tests and clear lungs, I stopped my juice fast..and ate EVERUTHING again!) I do well with mini goals and support AND accountability. When I was working with a trainer two years ago and at my best physically in ten years, I used to receive daily and often hourly texts from him and it was enough to keep me going. Although guilt is my biggest motivator and I hope to get to a place where JOY replaces the guilt, Still working on the guilt and the feeling of entitlement!
