Introduction Text I yo-yo a lot and I would like to stop that now. I met my initial goal of being under 150 lbs! I am maybe 10 lbs from a healthy BMI. I've lost about 80 lbs since I initially joined in 2008, over 100 lbs from my heaviest. I have PCOS, hypothyroidism, and multiple neurological disorders. Update: My BMI is good, but I still have a little too much body fat, so I'm working on that. I'm less concerned about scale numbers now. I'm 42 years old and a spinster cat lady. I ran my first solo half-marathon in April 2020 and I hope to keep improving my speed and endurance.

*Reduce joint pain and increase flexibility. *Learn to roller-skate. *Get rid of insulin resistance. *Run a mile without stopping. (DONE 11/2/2011) I'll add more as I think of them.

*Measure everything I eat. No eyeballing! *Track everything I eat. Stay honest! *1300-1700 calories a day ------------------ I don't work out every day. I prefer longer workout sessions 3-5 days a week. I aim for 180 minutes of cardio a week and I do strength training 2-3 times a week. I get bored easily, so I do *Turbo Jam and Turbo Fire *30 Day Shred *Cardio machines at the gym (the elliptical is my favorite) *Swimming *Walking *Riding my bike! I drink at least 10 cups of water a day. I eat more vegetables and fewer processed food items. I limit alcohol to rare social events. I have early-onset osteoarthritis, but weight loss and exercise should help that.

Currently living in Seattle, WA with my cat. I'm 40 years old. Height: 5'1" HW: 250ish lbs (2002-2003) SP start weight: 223

I love pop culture. And puzzles. And board games. And video games. And crocheting. I need less sedentary hobbies!
