Introduction Text My journey began at 200 lbs with a goal to lose a total of 70 lbs. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ Initially I lost about 40 lbs. In Jan 2017, I injured my shoulder and foot in an accident leading to steroid injections, surgery and physical therapy. Recovery was slow; I regained a lot of weight and developed other health issues that further impacted my progress. In 2018, a check-up revealed that my BP and cholesterol were also dangerously high. Determined not to live on meds, I decided to focus on lifestyle and dietary changes. Join me on my journey to health!

To go from 200 lbs to weigh 135 lbs. To be a size 10. Get strong, fit & healthy, and have more energy.

Following old WW exchange-based diet/program. 1-2 liters water daily. Exercise/activity 60-90 minutes/day. Strength training 3 x a week. Leslie Sansone's Walk Away the Pounds programs Also using SparkPeople Workout DVDs and others.
