Working towards healthier habits
I had Weight-Loss Surgery in 2005 (after reaching my highest weight of 315 lbs), and lost about 140 pounds (down to 175). Unfortunately, I got into some really bad habits and regained about 60 of that. Clearly, I needed to get back on track. I joined Spark in 2009, but it took a couple years for everything to come together.

Currently, I have lost about 80 lbs since August 8, 2011. Ultimately, it's been about eating less and exercising more, but the devil is in the details. I write down everything I eat, and track it on sparkpeople most days. I have made exercise a priority, and actually enjoy it now!
Eventually, I want to get down to 155 and have my BMI under 25.

Thank you for the sweet note and spark goodie. Just an update: My mom has a UTI and had to get some antibiotics. They are rescheduling it for next week.

A moonbeam to charm you,
