I used to have back and hip pain until I took a lot of my excess weight off. Sitting on hard surfaces for a lengthy period of time used to reak havoc on my tail bone - a side effect of a past epidural. Removing an excess 30 lbs from my body had done…

Not currently no -- but that is our reward once the weight comes off.

Thanks Amy, at this time the stage isn't my goal so much as getting to a healthy weight, being Healthy for my kids & being able to wear a bikini in Hawaii... something I have never been able to do.

Profile Information

My Plug:: I am a freelance writer. I am currently writing Honnor Moore's story about her fight against Rhuematoid arthritis.

My BodyPROUD Story: I am a freelance writer and stay at home mother of two gorgeous sons.
I have been married for five years. I would like my work to inspire others.

My Facts 'n Stats:: My name is Allison
I am 37 years old.
I am the proud mother of two very active boys - (4 years old and 2 years old).
I am a freelance writer.

My bodyPROUD Goals:: I have struggled with body image issues most of my life - having been teased ruthlessly in elementary school. This insecurity is something that I carry with me throughout my life. For a woman, I am above average in height reaching almost 6 feet tall. Growing up I always towered over the boys. Today I am very PROUD of my height, but this wasn't always the case, especially having to endure such cruel nicknames as "daddy long legs", "high pockets". I realise now how cruel young children can be.

It wasn't until well after the birth of my second son that I decided to make a change in my life - my body weight reached the highest it had ever been at 240lbs. For 18 months after his birth I still looked as though I were 5 months pregnant, I didn't enjoy dressing up because I felt that everyone would look at ow fat I was.

It wasn't until after a recent doctors appointment that I realised I needed to get serious about my weight and health as I was diagnosed with borderline high bloodpressure. So two months ago, My husband, a close friend of mine and I decided to challenge ourselves to loose much needed pounds. I am happy to announce that 240 is a distant memory and I am now working on reaching my goal weight of 180lbs.

My AHA Life Defining Moments:: Only you can make a change in your life.

My bodyPROUD Intentions:: Increase My Confidence, Improve my Health, Increase My Strength, Become a Role Model to My Children & Family, Keep Me Young, Feel Better about Myself, Improve My Posture, Feel Good in a Bathing Suit

To Become BodyPROUD, I commit to do the Following:: My goal is to lose about 60 lbs and get my body so that it is physically fit. I am currently considered obese. My goal is to beable to wear a bikini. I would like to feel attractive in my body and have the healthiest body I can.

How I Boosted my Confidence and/or Added Joy and/or Health into my Life:: I am learning to watch my calorie count through the point system from Weight Watchers.

Please Help ME with:: Fitness training

My Dietary &/or Training Routine:: I enjoy a vast number of physical activities such as bicycling, walking and the Wii Fit.

Expressing Gratitude is a Key Ingredient to a Happy Life. I Am Grateful for:: My health and my family

Profession:: Parent, Entrepreneur

Weightloss Struggles

Posted on June 16, 2009 at 11:40am 2 Comments 0 Likes

As I've mentioned before I have always had issues with weight. When I began my weightloss journey I was 240lbs, now a few months later I have successfully lost 20lbs but I have reached a plateau that I cannot get passed. It seems no matter how hard I try I can't seem to break out of the 220s. Am I frustrated - you betcha!

I am increasing my activity which I hope will help - getting off the couch and doing things with my family. We go for walks & bicycle riding. I have also added… Continue

My trouble with weight

Posted on February 2, 2009 at 6:55pm 2 Comments 0 Likes

When I was young, I struggled with insecurity issues. In school I was always the tallest girl. I towered over the boys which awarded me with nicknames of Highpockets and daddy long legs - the cruelty that only children can throw. I always wished that I was shorter like all my friends. These insecurties led to trouble with my weight as I grew up.

I have struggled with being over weight through much of my teenage years and into all of my adult life. My BMI considers me to be… Continue
