I am 44 years old and started my Journey on July 23rd 2009 at 435 pounds. The Journey -- I have been on a journey my whole life trying to figure out what it is and what it takes to be fit and healthy. I have been battling the bulge since early childhood. Food and desserts (sweets) were always rewards when I was growing up.
I've been on every diet under the sun that exist for weight loss.
On that day (July 23,2009) I hit rock bottom and couldn't stand to look into a mirror, because all I saw was a whale at 435 pounds and I was so ashamed. I began the body bugg calorie management system and have taken off 275 pounds.
From health issues to excuses I decided it was time to take care of myself. I do have the bodybugg and it has helped me so much in understanding calories in - calories out ..in other words I need to move my arse a whole lot more than I thought... my goal is to get to 170 lbs. Based on my results so far I figure I should be there by September/October of this year. I do understand that I will need to continue to count calories for the rest of my life to maintain my goal. I have two fabulous children 21 & 16 and they support me in every way. I am blessed.
I think I just may be addicted to something really good for me.
