Introduction Text My name is Laureli, and I am a recovering lazy overeater. I had been fooling myself for awhile, and not realizing that I had become unmotivated and had been steadily gaining weight and getting out of shape fast! I knew that things were getting out of hand and the signs of depression were there. I took care of most of the mental aspect but it took for me to see the scale hit over 200lbs before my wake up call, that I was jeopardizing my health, as well as my self esteem (which was already pretty low) . Enough of this! I have finally decided to get off of the pity pot, and reclaim my health and physical well-being! I currently work at home, but that's a story for another day. I have a goal in mind and working on it daily. Some days it is easy, some days quite the struggle. That is why I am here!

My goals have changed: Now I want to continue on the steady decline of inches of gurth from my body! As well as to make peace with the evil entity, known as "the scale", and silence the screaming of it everytime I step on it. If I keep on doing what I am doing, but just do more if it; I should accomplish my goal weight.

I have joined this group for support. I need to be held accountable at times, and be with people struggling with the same problem that I have. I bought a treadmill and force myself to get on it for at least 30 4-5 days a week; Jillian Michaels 30 day shred (still on level 1) doing it 3-4 days a week and I am seeing results!, 10 minute swiss ball programs trying for 3-4 days a week. Trying to get out an ride my bike at least twice a week for 7 miles at a time. Added mounting flights of stairs to the program. Also, its a biggie, watch my portion size and drink 8 glasses of water daily. Still have some lower back pain, but it is getting better every day as I am gaining stamina in the abs and loosing the belly tire.

I am 43 years old, and 5 ft tall. I live in Ojai, CA Divorced, w 2 dogs. Anything else you want to know sparkmail me and I might tell!
