    • About Me

      I have been overweight since age 13. Fitness was not emphasized when I was growing up, but I want to change that for my children. I want to be trim and healthy by my thirtieth birthday. So far I am making good progress. I hope being a member here helps to keep me motivated. Right now I weigh 283, down 22 lbs from where I began.

      This has been fantastic. The first nine days are tough, but I got used to eating primarily fruits and vegetables after a couple of days.
    • Close Fitness Goals
      Type: Be the best you can be

      I have been overweight most of my life. In my parents' house, it was more important to be mentally fit than physically fit. I am getting married in October and want to change my life. Mostly by dropping half of my body weight and toning up so I can be the wife and mother I want to be.

      Treatments

      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
      I am starting out by using a simple escalation. Right now I am doing 30 minutes at 3mph. Then 45 minutes. Eventualy 60 minutes.
    • Open Obesity

      I want to get down to my target weight before I turn 30 and then maintain it. I am currently at 283 and want to get to 135-140 (I'm 5'8").

      Treatments

      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
      Walking works wonders.
