January 1, 2010 to June 31, 2010... I lost a total of 12.4 lb. Most of that was January, February, March and April. Unfortunately May and June was not good months. BUT July, August, September, October, November will be CONSISTENT MONTHS of losing 5 lb. per month to get to Cancun AT GOAL of 105.0 lb. on Dec. 12, 2010. MY STORY... Updated June 21, 2009. This is it, tomorrow morning will be the BEGIN AGAIN theme for my journey to "Living Lean". I'm starting a new thread for those who have regained and want to lose again. I have 30 lb. to lose to get back to goal where I was from November 2003 to somewhere in 2005. I WILL REACH GOAL FOR LIFE BEFORE THE END OF 2009! ++++++++++++++ Updated on January-June 2009 I have tried all kinds of mottos for the first half of the year.... "Success is Mine in 2009", "Motivation is Mine in 2009", "Goals are Mine in 2009", "Actions are Mine in 2009", but I let my 117.0 pre-Cancun weight turn into 135.0 after my trip to Disneyland the beginning of June 2009. I had to buy all new summer clothes, because my "Cancun Clothes" obviously wouldn't fit. WHY? HOW? UGHHHH +++++++++++++ Updated on December 11, 2008... I have been working really hard to lose my weight for Cancun, Mexico. I enjoyed a wonderful vacation at 117.0 lb. Didn't quite make the 105.0 lb. final goal weight, but I was happy with the results. Hope to lose the last 12 pounds when I return to Alaska next week. ++++++++++++++ Updated on 1/1/2008. WORKING OFF THE WEIGHT IN 2008! I'm back on the reduction plan and working to get back to GOAL. I had been slacking on the Living Lean program and need to GET SERIOUS AND JUST DO IT! +++++++++++++ MY STORY... Update on June 7, 2006, I'm now working with a 6wbmo Personal Trainer to lose the 10 lb. I have gained in the last year from being too liberal with the Living Lean program. I'm physched about this new program. Will keep you updated. _______________________________________________ I'm on both the 6wbmo Program and the SMART Techniques program and I'm thrilled at the new retooled SMART kit. Meeting Mary Holmes December 2004 while shooting the new SMART Infomercial was totally awesome. She actually said she was proud of ME for succeeding in HER program. Wow, what a feeling! _______________________________________________ Here is MY STORY.... _______________________________________________ I know my numbers might not look impressive compared to some; but when you realize that I have lost 28% of my body weight and improved my health and lifestyle, I'm sure you will agree that I have quite a success story here. _______________________________________________ Here is some background information about myself. I have a petite frame and was only 90 lbs. when I got married in 1985. Throughout my adult life I had always been extremely busy and didn't have much experience cooking in the kitchen. This resulted in eating out the majority of the time and staying busy without proper exercise. Through seventeen years of marriage and the births of two children (who were both adopted, so I shouldn't have an excuse, but I just couldn't lose that "post-partumum weight")! I had found myself suffering from back pain, breathing difficulties and emotional illness with the scale saying I had gained 55 lb. So going from 90 lb. to 145 lb. is a 61% increase in weight and brought my BMI numbers to "Obese."
