Hi from Canada!
I have posted some pics of myself in the Before, After, and ... In Between portion of this site.
***UPDATED PICS ON PAGE 18 OF THIS DIARY****AND PAGE 25***AND P. 36 ****
AGE: 37
HEIGHT: 5'5"
SW: 211 (July 2007)
CW: 188 (Sept. 19, 2007)
GW: 155 (Late Spring 2008, hopefully!)
HOW: Weight Watchers + wogging (walking + jogging) + drinking approximately the volume of one small lake every single day.
WHY: PCOS health concerns, and... vanity
I've struggled with my weight since puberty. I am one pear-shaped Mamma, but when I do get to a healthy weight, I am pretty dang curvy and hour-glass shaped.
PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) means DANGER lurking right ahead: diabetes, heart disease, uterine cancer...but let me tell you, those all paled in comparison to: GOING BALD and GROWING FACIAL HAIR. omgosh, I REFUSE to morph into my Father! LOL So, I have been greatly motivated to change my entire way of eating and living. Now that the first 20
pounds have melted away, I am truly able to get moving, too. I had a wretched problem with plantar fasciitis for the last 2 years, but it is sooooo much better now. How I thank God, because let me tell you, that was brutal pain to be in. So now I can walk daily, and am gently easing into some jogging, too.
All for now, thanks for checking it out! Best wishes to all of us on this journey. Man, we are gonna look SMOKIN' hot!
