I sound like a broken record and feel like a boomerang, but I keep coming back here with renewed intentions and belief in my ability to finally change this time. I've accepted the challenge, and I'm surfing the site admiring amazing befores and afters, looking for body shapes that looked like ...

goals

I've always known and believed that goals are dreams with deadlines -- but I think that's been half of my problem. My visualizer has been kind of broken lately. I'm in a size 16 jeans, at least 60lbs overweight, and mentally stuck. I cannot imagine losing ALL of the weight. I...

Just dropping by to say HI! How are you doing?? What kinds of food are you eating?? I love ideas. Have a great day!

Hooray for Blendtec! I've heard lots of good things about the Blendtecs, also. Both the Blendtec and Vitamix are plenty powerful for making great smoothies, so you should be able to make any of my recipes. If you do try any of my recipes, I recommend adding the veggies and a little water first, then pre-blending a little until you have veggie-chunk water. Leafy greens are so light and springy that they like to float above the blades, and harder vegetables like cauliflower can leave big gaps and make it hard to fit everything into the container. Thanks for the msg today, and see you @ the Crew!

I Am

I am a mom, helpmate, and living example to those around me. I am married to the most wonderful man I know, and together we have six children ages 9 months, 6, 7, 8. 9, & 10. I live about 100 miles east of Denver, CO, in a small little town with no amenities -- not a gym or a Walmart in sight, but that will not be an excuse for me. I work from home as a broadcast closed captioner for live television. I love my job, I love my family, and I love the fact that every day is fresh and new. Today *is* the day!

My Favorite Charity

smiley845

To me, Transformation Means

not just counting my blessings, but to be a blessing to others. To not just be content with where I land, but to control my destiny. To tire of searching for silver linings in the clouds of circumstances, but to completely overcome the storm! I cannot truly love others if I hate myself. I cannot speak hope if I'm not hopeful. I cannot speak health if I'm not healthy. I cannot speak truth if I'm not honest with myself. I cannot speak change if I'm stuck in a rut. I cannot speak life if I'm dead inside. And that is the reason I am transforming -- so that my testimony is something that can help you and I to overcome any obstacle that gets in success's way.

My Goals

to lose 50lbs by my birthday, August 10! I plan to gain confidence and belief in my ability to do it this time. My real goal is to follow through until completion.

My Intentions

continue with healthful nutrition and increased daily activity. I will continue to press on, trusting that the process works for me just as it has for so many others before me, regardless of what the scale tells me. I *will* complete this 18-week challenge and take my after photos!!

Who I'd Like to Inspire

my children, my mother, and the other mothers in my rural community are the number ones on my list. I hope I also inspire anyone with an open heart and mind and a desire to change!
