My earliest recollection of poor body image began when I was in the 5th grade and intensified to a stage of self-loathing by the time I turned thirty.
I am a 42-year old, self-proclaimed, health/ fitness expert ready to fulfill my goals and live my life to its fullest. I began (again) my healthy lifestyle changes at the beginning of January. Up until three weeks ago I was grudgingly stuck at a twelve pound weight loss. My old habits and self-defeating thoughts were starting to take their ugly forms and forsake once again my happiness, but something happened... I read an article in Fitness Magazine that gave me the inspiration to change my life once and for all. The difference in my attitude has transformed my workouts, eating habits, personal and professional goals. I am 5'7" and currently weigh 168 lbs. My weight loss goal is 140 lbs., only 28 lbs. to go! I would like to lose 2-3 lbs. per week reaching my target by July. Unharnessing the ties that bind me to past failures is my journey. I believe my physical transformation will be the result of my psycological/ spiritual restoration.

Keep up a positive attitude, and watch as the rest of that weight melts away! Good luck, and congrats on the weightloss so far!
