"I based my weight loss goal on my current BMI and what is within the healthy BMI range. Next I knew I had to move it to lose it and started working out again. In December, I joined the YMCA to have even more fitness options available to me to help me attain my goal. My BMI has decreased from 34 to 28.”

I know I have to cut calories and redouble my exercise efforts. But to transform myself into a leaner, healthier person, I also have to have a starting point, which today was a short, downhill walk to a simple weigh-in."

While losing five pounds isn't all that impressive (it's only been 10 days since my official weigh in), other things are. I'm getting lots of exercise. In February, for example, I ran nearly 45 miles and walked another 10. And those are the miles I actually tracked using my iPhone. I walked and hiked plenty more that aren't recorded.
My blood sugar levels are under good control. For the first time in several years, I'm looking forward to getting my A1C, a blood test that averages out blood sugar levels for three months. The target range for people with type 2 diabetes is under 7.0. If the last six weeks are any indication, I'll be close.
There are lots of healthy foods in my life. I'm eating more nutrient-dense foods. On most days I'm eating at least one salad, and I'm eating more green leafy vegetables, like Brussells sprouts, broccoli and spinach. I'm getting a least two servings of fish, something the American Heart Association recommends for a healthy heart. And I'm eating less of the things I really don't need: Red meat and highly processed foods.
The exercise and diet changes have been going on since early December—before I joined Transformation Nation. But things are really starting to take off. I know the weight will come off, too. It's just a matter of time.
