Default 2014 is the year!

I made a decision on December 27, 2009 that I would lose weight. I was 237 on that day. As of January 2, 2014 I was 167. I am aiming to lose 50 lbs this year, by the Summer would be awesome but definitely by Christmas ! For now I've given up wheat, gluten, processed sugar and fast food. My fitness goal is yo move 30 minutes a day....I'm lazy!

I enjoy roller skating, hiking (little hills!) and riding my bike (casually!).

2014 LET'S DO THIS!!

Welcome, FatAbbi! This is a great place for support and encouragement, especially when the weight loss slows because there's less of it to lose.

Yes the slowing is rough! I've not been dieting much last year so I'm hoping my body is ready to go again. I've done a complete lifestyle change so just need To ramp it up.

I set a goal of 1.24 lbs a week for 50 weeks. Set up 9 milestone goals with a reward given when each is achieved. First goal is 22 lbs away as of the 2nd of January. At that point I hit a normal BMI

Looking forward to getting lotsa rewards this year!
