- About Me:
- I'm 40 yrs old and have been heavy all my life. I made lots of bad dieting choices before and my health has suffered for it. But I've learned a lot this past year on nutrition and exercise and so I'm starting afresh. I have to lose about 130 lbs now.
- What are your goals?
- I'd like to get down to 140 lbs. I weigh 273 now and I'm 5'7" and small framed. I also like the idea of muscles. I'd like to have definition but I'm not a member of a gym anymore (just moved) but eventually I will join one. I want to get this weight off first.
- Favorite Music:
- Messianic praise music, old school funk, dance
- Favorite TV Shows:
- Anything on Food Network (gasp!)
- What is your current exercise routine?
- I stretch, dance, exercise for about 40 minutes. Then I walk for about 40 minutes. (a little over a mile)
- What diets have you tried?
- Aydes
Some pills that made you lose weight in your sleep.
A pill that makes fat 'slid out of you'.
My own concoctions - all the above didn't work. I will no longer fall for those fads.
- What things do you want to do before you die?
- Have to think about this one.
- What is your favorite book?
- Bible

My Comments on Paul McKenna's "I Can Make You Thin"
I finally caught his show - two of them. I'm not an emotional eater so I won't comment on that show. But the other one - he lists four golden rules:
1. When you get hungry - eat.
2. Eat what you want.
3. Eat consciously.
4. When you're full, stop.
1) Obviously we all know what this me… Continue

Ditch the Hubby, I'm Going to Exercise!
This isn't a rant so much as it is an observation.
My husband, Mark, is a truck driver and ever since he got a new route which would enable him to be home every day, we both thought it would be nice to get healthy TOGETHER. (his idea btw) That means eat the same foods and do t… Continue

Does Name Calling Bother You?
It used to bother me but now I find it amusing. I've been called every 'fat' name under the sun growing up.
For instance:
Bertha Butt Boogie
Good Year Hindenberg
Carol Fatalino (a variation of my last name)
and the standard "Fatso" and "Fatty".
And if that wasn't bad enough, I've also got really frizzy, course hair (when I let… Continue
