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.

My Body Proud Journey Starts Here (Blog Entry #1)

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 Philosophy on Nutrition, Physical Fitness &/or Focused Thinking:

I am learning to watch my calorie count through the point system from Weight Watchers.

My Dietary &/or Training Routine:

I enjoy a vast number of physical activities such as bicycling, walking and the Wii Fit.

I am Grateful For:

My health and my family

Weightloss Struggles

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 an hour of… Continue

My trouble with weight

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 obese,

With each of… Continue
