Starting Over!

Feb 27, 2013 - One year cancer free, and I'm trying fertility treatments. I am starting my ticker over so I can still try to lose weight and get healthy while trying to conceive. I pre-ordered the Spark solution book today, and started the Spark Coach. I'm excited and ready to learn some moderation and reinstate some healthy habits! Going to be eating real food, walking, and doing low intensity strength training to meet my goals!

March 26, 2012: I have had a slew of health related issues and have regained a lot of my weight. I am now back up to 223 lbs :(. I have just had surgery for kidney cancer, and I am determined again to lose this weight! I want to get back to a healthy size and feel good again!!!

2010:
I started trying to get healthy in April 2008 - when I turned 25! I had gained a tremendous amount of weight, at least partly because of my PCOS and Grave's disease (radiation). It was finally a stage to scare me enough in the right direction. I was miserable and always in pain. I started walking every day and trying to cut back eating out. When I stepped on the scale at the end of April and realized I'd lost 7 lbs only giving it half of my effort, I challenged myself to walk every day and not eat out for the whole month of May! It worked - I lost 18.5 lbs that month! Then I read the book "Skinny Bitch" and it changed my life!

I hit a rut after losing 50 lbs which led me to discover my Sparkpeople. The resources here are invaluable, and I am constantly referring my friends to this site!

I started at a size 22 and lost down to a size 8/10 jeans!

Looking for a Fun Challenge this Summer? Want to get connected with a Team to support you through your Journey to a Healthier Lifestyle. If yes, then consider joining the BL Challenge that starts early June. Each week 11 teams of 24 Active, do fun nutritional and fitness challenges. The challenges promote a healthy lifestyle and If for some reason you cannot do a challenge then they are modified to meet your needs. Often we do the challenge in a game form, we have BINGO and TIC TAC TOE or seasonally themed. For Spring we had Gardening Time, Help Fill Peter Rabbit’s Basket and Bingo. If you decide this might be for you you can leave your name on the waitlist for the Summer challenge. To get to the Challenge go to my page and click on the “BLUE BIGGEST LOSER” Icon, or copy and paste the link below, or let me know and I can send you an invite. Join the Team then sign up on the waitlist. It’s the thread right below the Chit Chat.

PROTEIN AFTER WORKING OUT.* ) ..*) -::-
(. ;..♥

According to Fitness magazine, the majority of us are getting enough protein. Most nutritionists agree that active women need about half a gram per pound a day or approximately sixty five grams for a one hundred thirty pound woman. The USDA reports that most of us -even vegetarians - are eating sixty -nine grams of protein daily so we are good. If you are as active as recommended, and exercise for more than an hour five or more days a week you should increase your protein intake to 0.75 grams per pound. Eating protein within thirty to forty-five minutes AFTER your workout rebuilds and repairs the microtears in muscle tissue that occurs when you exercise. Taking in protein right after you workout will make you less sore the next day and increases your lean muscle mass.
