My earliest recollection of poor body image began when I was in the 5th grade and intensified to a stage of self-loathing by the time I turned thirty.
I am a 42-year old, self-proclaimed, health/ fitness expert ready to fulfill my goals and live my life to its fullest. I began (again) my healthy lifestyle changes at the beginning of January. Up until three weeks ago I was grudgingly stuck at a twelve pound weight loss. My old habits and self-defeating thoughts were starting to take their ugly forms and forsake once again my happiness, but something happened... I read an article in Fitness Magazine that gave me the inspiration to change my life once and for all. The difference in my attitude has transformed my workouts, eating habits, personal and professional goals. I am 5'7" and currently weigh 168 lbs. My weight loss goal is 140 lbs., only 28 lbs. to go! I would like to lose 2-3 lbs. per week reaching my target by July. Unharnessing the ties that bind me to past failures is my journey. I believe my physical transformation will be the result of my psycological/ spiritual restoration.

Welcome! Keep up a positive attitude, and watch as the rest of that weight melts away! Good luck, and congrats on the weightloss so far!

Thank you for your encouragement I have been trying to lose this weight for the last two years...I lose it and it finds me, again. As I get older I definitely get wiser and really want success more than I ever have before. I'm 42 and I feel this is my time My husband and 20-year old daughter are also working on losing weight and becoming healthy adults. His goal is 20-lbs, he has 9-lbs to go, and her goal is 39-lbs, she also has 9-lbs. My weight loss has been a little more stubborn but I really feel good Thanks again and good luck to you!
