I Am Focusing Forward ...

I have always struggled with my weight. I have lost significant amounts several times. But when asked by a doctor how long I managed to maintain a loss, the truthful answer was "for about 10 minutes." From 2006-2008, I lost nearly 110 lbs. Then lost my notion of what my life had been, was at that time, and would be in the future. Gradually, I gained most of the weight back. Now I have a new life, a fresh start, and I need to discard this weight once and for all. I am focusing forward.

Steps Forward

I weigh in only once a month because the number on the scale
has far too much emotional power over me.

At a Glance

I am 57 years old and I live in Nebraska. I’m a mom to two wonderful grown children. I write proposals for a living; before that, I was a classroom teacher and an educational technology specialist.

My highest weight ever was 311 lbs. I am 5' 4" tall. My goal weight is 160 lbs. My approach to to making good choices is a combination of the the Weight Watchers food plan + MyFitnessPal tools + a nod to intuitive eating. For me, it's all about making healthy food choices and committing to regular exercise.

I love books, shopping, Munich, college football, bohemian coffeeshops, a few good TV shows, tech gadgets, dogs, music and lots of other things.
