This Is My Year!

This Is My Year!
I plan to shed 125 lbs. in the next 56 weeks. This is my journey...

Starting a New Challenge - Body For Life

Okay, now that the Biggest Loser challenge is over, I have been a little lackadaisical in getting to the gym to work out.

So, I am joining the Body For Life Challenge officially starting Monday, April 4, 2011.  It is a 12-week challenge that I signed up for at http://www.bodyforlife.com for free.  I downloaded all the tracking info and printed and I have a pretty pink binder I have put it all in.

I will be taking my before picture in a bikini (yikes!) and in 12 weeks I take an after picture.  The challenge ends June 29, 2011.

I will still be taking weekly pics to post here and keeping notes here on my progress.

This whole time I have been following the Body For Life eating plan, just not the workout plan.  I have it, though and I am re-committing myself to getting to the gym 6 times a week.

The eating part I have down well, just not the exercise.  I have been shedding 1-2 lbs. a week with 1-3 workouts a week, just imagine my progress at 6 workouts/week.  I can expect 2-5 lbs. per week consistently, I think.  That is what the personal trainer said, anyway.

I am now in a size 17-18, down from the 22-24 I was wearing 9 weeks ago.  *Sigh*  I have come far, and I still have 106 lbs. to go.

About Me

My photo
I have fluctuated over the years with my weight. Every time I have had a baby, I gained a lot of weight.

I have three wonderful boys to show for it!

Each time, I hit the gym and shed most of it.

This time I cannot blame pregnancy.

I am a stress and comfort eater and I admit it. Through two divorces (to and with the same man), I have finally come out on the good end of things.

I am blessed to be re-married to the first boy I ever had a crush on.

Now, we have a 1 year old baby and I have never been heavier.

I am starting this journey at 5'9" and 275 lbs. and 46.7% body fat.
