Introduction Text Dec 2013: Still struggling to find my way, but I'm back on spark so maybe that is a good sign....************************************************************** I recommitted to losing this weight and not giving up at the beginning of 2009. I have been on many different diets over the years, some more successful than others. This time I am trying to take a step back from the diet mentality and focus on creating a lifestyle that will uncover the fit, healthy me that is disguised under about 40 lbs. To that end, my goals are to eat clean and exercise, give my body a break when everything is sore...and be patient! That last one is tough for me, but I am working on it! I know that I will get there, I am not turning back this time! ************************************************************** Weigh ins: 01/01/09 - 182.6 (started BFFM program) 01/10/09 - 177.6 (33% BF at YMCA) 01/16/09 - 176.8 01/23/09 - 175.8 01/30/09 - 176 02/14/09 - 179.4 02/21/09 - 180.4 (started WW program) 02/27/09 - 177 03/06/09 - 176 03/13/09 - 175.6 03/20/09 - 174 03/27/09 - 174 04/03/09 - 174.4 04/17/09 - 176.8 04/24/09 - 177.2 05/01/09 - 176.4 (started BodyBugg program) 05/08/09 - 174.8 05/09/09 - 174.6 05/16/09 - 174.8 05/23/09 - 175 05/30/09 - started Eat Clean Diet...31.9% BF at YMCA/ 28.2% BF w/Accumeasure 07/03/09 - 164.8...30.9% BF at YMCA (woo hoo, this is working!) 07/31/09 - 164.4...26.7% BF w/Accumeasure 08/28/09 - 156.4...25.1% BF w/Accumeasure 09/25/09 - 153...25.1% BF w/Accumeasure 10/02/09 - 151.6 10/08/09 - 149.8...23.4% BF w/Accumeasure/23% BF at YMCA 10/15/09 - 148.6 10/23/09 - 151.6 10/30/09 - 146.4 11/06/09 - 147.8 11/13/09 - 147...21.5% BF w/Accumeasure 11/20/09 - 145.2 11/26/09 - 143.6 12/04/09 - 144.6...19.6% BF w/Accumeasure (9mm) 12/11/09 - 146.2...8mm Accumeasure (19.6% BF) 12/18/09 - 141.8 12/24/09 - 138.2...7mm Accumeasure (17.6% BF) 12/31/09 - 138.2 01/10/10 - 142 01/15/10 - 141 01/22/10 - 139.4 01/29/10 - 141.4 02/05/10 - 139.8 02/12/10 - 138.2 02/19/10 - 136.4 03/13/10 - 138.8 03/19/10 - 137.2 03/28/10 - 138 04/23/10 - 136.4 05/07/10 - 141.2
