Glad To Be Back

Well I have been gone for a bit, I do appreciate your patience! I had been having problems with severe fatigue for quite some time now and its generally worse in the winter time so I was pretty much too tired to do much of anything but go to work and make it through the day. I am happy to say that we seem to have found the problem and the course of action is working. (no drugs lol). I also had gained back most of the weight I had lost simply due to being too tired to do anything. I am back on track with that again and now have the energy to actually exercise on a daily basis. I am very grateful to have found an eating plan that is working for me. No more starvation diets. The weight won't come off overnight but after the first 18 days I am feeling much better, never hungry and am beginning to feel stronger and more flexible physically. And without that walking through mud feeling plaguing my days, I might actually be able to accomplish all that I hope to accomplish. So I am going to post fairly regularly how the whole weight loss thing is going, (don't worry, it will probably be about once a month lol).

I started on 03/24/2010

Weight 197.4
% of body fat 49.32
fat weight 97.12
lean body mass 99.5

I am currently in a size 16.

My goal is to lose between 50 and 60 pounds and to get to size 12 comfortably. Mostly though, I want to be healthy, to have the energy and the strength to do whatever I want to do for the day without dragging all the time.

Bonus would be enjoying shopping for clothes (not too much lol since that might break the budget but at least not dread it). A little more self esteem and confidence would be welcome also.

So anyway, I will be back to posting about my jewelry, my beads, other peoples stuff and my life in general on a fairly regular basis I hope. Talk to you soon!
