Introduction Text I am Japanese and I live in Japan. I am connected to SparkPeople via the web from Japan. I was skinny and being told that I was beautiful by many of my friends in school days, but after the breakup of a relationship when I was 21, I lost everything except weight, which I gained 150 lbs eventually. I kept the attitude throughout my 20s and 30s. In 2005, my weight recorded the highest ever, 280 lbs, I was diagnosed diabetic, and my real fight with my weight started. I started to exercise and watch which foods I took, and with the consistency of keeping doing them for two years gave me success of 100 lbs weight loss in 2007. I have kept the weight since then, but I still want to go more. So I am starting again today, making commitment myself to do the exercises and foods, toward my goal of 130 lbs. And I want to feel better, care free with life’s worries. I see myself focusing on tedious things, tedious worries currently, which makes me who I am. But I want to change that. I want to hire positive attitudes towards life, discarding the negative ones, and build a new life, much healthier than now and before, for my precious future.

Lose 150 lbs totally from 280, which I weighed in 2005. So my goal weight is 125-130. Regain my health-mental and physical. Do the right thing a day for the rest of my life. Just do it for the rest of my life. Lower the HbA1c level to 5.5-6.0, then reduce the medication.

Exercise: Do cardio and toning with Tracy Anderson's DVDs and Coach Nicole's video streams 4-6 times a week. Keep a fitness log from SparkPeople. Food: Follow 4-Group Nutrition Method in Japan, that I have a Grade 1 Certificate. Take 1200-1600 calories of foods each day. Keep the food log from SparkPeople. Mental: Read motivational stories from the leaders in Spark People, and make myself aware that I can achieve it like them, too. Spiritual: Follow "Daily Verses" and read the Bible every day. Make a prayer at least once a day. Trust and follow Jesus, and pray for Japan and USA.
