I Am

Timberly. I am 44 years young and I live in a very small town in Texas with my family. My husband, Charles and I have been married for almost 25 years. We have 2 sons, Ken (19) and Alex (13). Ken is attending The University of North Texas in Denton. He is loving college life, but I miss him very much!! Alex is in the 8th grade. He loves to skateboard and ride bikes, play video games, and is a social butterfly. Having my kids has been the most wonderful and exciting adventure I have ever experienced in my life. I love to write, read, spend time with my animals, be outside and have fun with my family. I have struggled with depression, self-hatred and obesity for many years. I want not only to lose weight but to get to the core of me. I want to find out why I allowed myself to become obese and have suffered from depression my whole life. I want to mend what's broken. I care deeply about my family, my friends, my community and my world. Someday, I would love to help others succeed in loving themselves and in making changes in their lives that are needed mentally, physically and spiritually. I believe for me to do this...the change has to start within me. I want to be a part of leaving a better universe for future generations....any other questions, please feel free to ask me....

To me, Transformation Means

Transformation to me means moving positively towards becoming a better person, inside and out. I am a good, kind and caring person...so transforming would not change those qualities in me that I am proud to have....it would only enhance and strengthen them and would just sand out a few of the rough spots I do not love so much.

The journey to transformation will be different for each of us, I know.....but, along my path I believe transforming will mean being open, gaining knowledge, insight, strength and courage to continually grow in the direction of wholeness. Transformation for me would continue to mold me into a better version of ME! I want to be the best Timberly I can be -- Body, Mind and Spirit!!!

My Goals

I became a Transformation Challenger for 2009 in July 2009. I will participate in all challenge rounds until I reach my goals....

My Personal Goals.....

a) To become a more engaged wife and mother and to be a role model for those closest to me...being healthy and loving life.

b) To love others unconditionally and offer myself, my friendship and my hand in support.

c) To travel the journey towards reaching my goal weight of 115 lbs in 2010!!

d) To get my finances in order and be debt-free.

e) To re-establish a spiritual connection with my higher power and live in God's truth.

f) To feel good about myself for the very first time in my life.

g) To continue in the process of remodeling and reorganizing my home to make it comfortable for my family and friends.

h) To continually learn and embrace the qualities of my evolving transformation.

i) To have a recommitment/renewal ceremony and go on a dream vacation to the beach with my husband for our 25th wedding anniversary June 7th, 2010...look sexy and have an awesome honeymoon we never got to have!!!

My Intentions

**I intend to learn to love living again!

**I intend to be transformed....mind, body and spirit.

**I intend to lose at least 2-3 lbs each week by changing the way I eat and exercising daily until I reach my goal weight of 115 lbs.

**I also intend to lose inches, lower my BMI and my BF%.

**I intend to improve my relationships with my husband and my children, my parents, siblings, extended family and friends.

**I intend to continue to work toward freeing my mind of depression and not be a slave to my illness.

**I intend to face each day and "live in the moment" breathing in each adventure and loving every minute of it!!

Who I'd Like to Inspire

First of all, I would like to inspire my husband and my children. I want to show them by example what true transformation is. I want to show them what healthy living can do for our family and for each of us individually.

I also would like to inspire my Mom and Dad! They are still so young, but struggle with obesity and sickness which is robbing them of good years.

I would very much like to inspire my brothers and sister, Heath, Kenny and Angela, who like myself came from a family of very obese and unhealthy people, to lose weight, to live healthy and start loving their lives again!! and my Grant family, Nina, Cindy, and Terrie who are struggling with their own battle that it is possible to be successful and happy with yourself.

I want to also inspire others by example, through my friendship and love. I would like to offer encouragement to those who may be or may have been in the shape I was in mentally, physically and spiritually...people who are overweight, unhealthy, depressed, over-medicated, hopeless and desperate for a change in their lives!
