Hi Everyone,
I know todays Wednesday and I havent had any chocolate yet, so hopefully I can still join! (And thanks Mel for letting me know of this great challenge!) I want to get back to 120 pounds which is my goal weight, and which is the weight I always was before I got married 2 years ago and gained about 25-30 pounds. I have lost about 15 so far, and I have 14 more to go! I wish I was more careful and didnt let myself gain the weight, but I did, and now here I am trying to lose the last bit and get back to being the real me. Good luck everyone!
Location: Vancouver, Canada
I like: Cookies and milk! (I have the worst sweet tooth ever!)
I don't like: Feeling upset that I am still not back to my normal weight after almost 2 years since I gained it!
Current typical or usual exercise: Walking for 60 mins, doing the grouse grind (basically hiking up a mountain!) 30 day shred
Current Starting Weight: 134.2
Aim for next week: 133.0
Personal 14 week Goal: To lose 14 pounds and get back to 120!0 -
I've had it for 2 and a half years now
although I'm able to tolerate it better now. Just really annoying when my other half says let's go a walk.. All I think about is how far would get before I could no longer feel my foot except for pain!! 0 -

Yeah - when I realized I needed help was during a work picnic. I stood to go back inside and my whole leg was asleep. One of my coworkers jumped behind me to catch me....yeah like 100 pound her is going to catch 289 pound me.....I called her a pancake for the next little while. Managed to avoid that mess. That was in 2008. I've been seeing a chiropractor regularly and really and truly, except for a few spasms in my back where the disc is herniated (the real cause of the sciatic pain) I've been relatively good since then. The stretches he gave me to do have been life altering!!!
