Start Weight:	(08 May 10) 170.0 lb
Current Weight:	(23 Apr 13) 169.4 lb
Goal Weight:	150.0 lb

following: The Fitness Train
performance: losing 1.8 lb a week

I am a 47 year old mom of a grown child. I lead a fairly active lifestyle (karate, scuba diving, travel). I started gaining weight when I moved to Louisiana( the food here is unbelievable!) I quit smoking 2 years ago and packed on another 30 lbs. My highest weight was 180, I managed to get down to 170 before I found FS. I had a flat stomach 10 years ago and I want it back!

January 2012: I made it to within 5 lbs of my goal in August 2010, but I got sidetracked along the way. I injured my knee which caused a drastic reduction in my exercise schedule, add to that some holidays with lots of poor eating habits and I am right back where I started.

Getting Started???
For me, more calories burned than consumed is working best for me. I have no forbidden foods (although there are quite a few that went from my regularly consumed list to occasionally consumed list LOL), so no guilt about what I eat. I started by logging every calorie I put in my mouth and that did 2 things: 1. opened my eyes to how many calories I was actually eating and 2. allowed me to evaluate what needed to change to eat healthy. I am also of the opinion that while you can lose weight without exercise that it is best to combine healthy eating with exercise to get optimal results. I am not just talking about weight loss results either- there are so many benefits to regular exercise that I knew in my head, but didn't really appreciate until I started exercising regularly. My blood pressure has dropped significantly, I don't get winded as easily, I have tons more energy and my thinner body has muscle tone to name a few. As previously stated go slow- don't expect huge losses- it took more than a few weeks to put the weight on and it certainly is going to take a while to get rid of it. Eat healthy, (if you are not sure of what is healthy do some research, find some buddies on fatsecret who have been successful) Exercise regularly, and get plenty of sleep (the body repairs while we sleep. Remember that you can eat too little as well, try not to drop below 1200 calories. Always remember that if you want to lose weight for good it takes a lifestyle change. Dieting only works until you get tired of the diet and go back to eating the same things you ate to put the weight on. I have been eating the way I currently eat since the beginning of may and I have to say I don't miss my old evil ways at all and am actually much happier with the way I eat now.
Good luck on your journey. Feel free to send a buddy request my way

What will you do when you've reached goal that you wouldn't do now?
1. Buy the clothes I want to wear instead of what camouflages my belly fat (Get rid of the baggy pants and loose oversize shirts)
2. Wear a 2 piece bathing suit in public
3. Wear shorter, more form fitting shorts (Get rid of the baggy cargo shorts)
