I am 54 years old and have struggled with my weight all my life. There was never a stage in my life that I could eat anything I wanted to..... I started SparkPeople in 2008 and lost 80 lbs only to gain it all back... sound familiar? I have again lost 80 lbs. A lot has happened since I lost weight the last time. Life sometimes knocks you out cold and it sure did for me. I lost my 18 year old son 4 years ago....as I was trying to regain a semblance of life I gained a lot of weight....again. The gaining of weight was not the first time I have yo yo'd it was about the 5th or 6th time in my life, but food has always been my comfort and I used it. Fortunately, as I started to come out of my fog I also realized that I still have a lot to live for, mainly my now 201year old son and my husband. I have been blessed all my life with excellent health, but at over 50 I was finding that was starting to decline as well. What I finally figured out about weight loss is it is not a destination. It is a lifetime journey...and how you approach it is what makes the journey fun or miserable. It's all about attitude. I can loath getting up to go exercise or I can be grateful that I am healthy enough to get up and go exercise (one of my best friends doesn't have that luxury). Attitude: It is the key!!

Exercise 5 to 6 times a week ~ either run, walk, or crawl 5 miles or do Fit Body Boot Camp ....Just do it ~ no excuses!!

I am using the daily log to count calories..and I mean everything I put in my mouth! I have been on every diet imaginable and believe calories in calories out....................1200 to 1300 calories on non workout days and 1200 + 1/2 of all exercise calories on workout days.

I live in the San Diego area....

Thanks to all of you for stopping by my page....you are my source of inspiration!!
