Introduction Text First Big Loss 10/12/11 - 243 lbs starting weight 5/19/12 (32 Weeks Later) - 195.2 I'm starting my journey over at the age of 28! Above, listed represents the first experience I had using Sparkpeople for goal tracking and accountability. I am back to blogging and keeping up with the community to get my health and wellness in check. I have no current conditions of concern, outside of my chronic sciatica, and I want to put in the effort while I'm still healthy! My end goal is 160 lbs and higher endurance when doing cardio exercises.

Aside from my goal of -2 lbs at weekly weigh in, my long term goal is to maintain a healthy lifestyle that I create, and make it so that I never end up anywhere near 200 again. I want to make this a mindless, daily practice.

Workout 4-5 times a week, whether it's gym, Youtube workout or a 30 min walk. It's usually for about 35 minutes to an hour, mainly elliptical for low impact on my back and interval running on the treadmill. I'm focusing on strengthening my core, so yoga is incorporated more now, along with weighted exercises. Just focused on finding new ways to torch calories and not get bored. I follow the SparkPeople eating plan calories, not the actual food suggestions, though. Following that strictly is key to losing weight when I workout.

I'm a transplant from Jamaica to Florida, Florida to Boston; Boston to NYC.
