Introduction Text Just looking for the right kind of motivation to turn my lifestyle into a healthy one. I want to stop my bad behaviors before they turn into diseases, such as diabetes or heart failure. The excuse "I'm still young" doesn't last forever... I just turned 27 years old and I sat down and thought about all the bad habits I've had my entire life so far - I'm not active at all, the food I eat has ZERO nutritional value, and I procrastinate all the time. I feel that now, at 27, it's time for me to start growing up. If I don't start changing the way I treat my body, it's not going to be useful to an old age. It will be a sick, tired, obese body. I need to change the things about me that contribute to poor health. THAT's what is the difference between a diet and a lifestyle change. ***UPDATE 07/27/2011*** I'm trying to change my mentality of losing weight, and since I don't really have any tangible things for a deadline, I want to try to focus more on getting healthy and more active and strong, and letting weight loss be a side effect. I'm 27 now, and I want to start living my life like a real adult, and quit blaming my bad habits on my upbringing.

Height - 5'2" Highest weight - 240 27th Bday (2011) - 230 28th Bday (2012) - 130 *I'd like to reach my goal by my 28th birthday - July 22, 2012* ***SUMMARY*** In May of 2006 I joined SparkPeople, spent most of the time lurking and getting used to the small website, but loved it instantly. In January of 2007, at 240 pounds, I started my journey to lose weight. By the end of March I was down to 217. Then I lost all motivation. Between 2007 and 2011 I have been on-and-off-again, but for the most part maintained between 220 and 240 pounds. Christmas Eve of 2010, I decided to throw out all of my old documentation, because - trust me - there was A LOT!! I took my FINAL set of "STARTING PHOTOS" and measurments. Now, in 2011 From here on out, I'm not going to go all-or-nothing. I'm not going to "start over" again. This is going to be a constant work in progress until I'm done. Keep in touch for more progre

I have plenty of resources to work with - I have a gym membership at a 24-hour gym, I have *MANY* DVDs and VHS tapes and equipment to use at home, I live very near a paved trail in a safe neighborhood, and I have a Wii Fit. Not to mention the numerous resources on the internet. The only "plan of attack" I have at this point is to USE THEM! :) I also am an herbalife product distributor - ask me for details! ;)
