Introduction Text Life kind of got in my way recently and I've been MIA from SP for quite some time. Part was just avoidance - I wasn't doing what I needed to do and didn't feel I should be here to help others and in reality that just allowed me to hurt myself. So, summer is here for me and I'm revisiting my own goals and figuring out ways to reach them again. My 10% goals: SW: 326.5 lbs. March 2006 1st 10% - 293.5 ACHIEVED JUNE 2006 2nd 10% - 264.5 ACHIEVED APRIL 2008 3rd 10% - 238.5 4th 10% - 214.5 5th 10% - 193 6th 10% - 174 This is my goal weight. It's more than what's recommended for my height - but I want to see what that looks like and from there can decide if more weight loss would be ok, or if that's where my body wants to be.

These are goals I've reached. March 2006 – wt. 321.5 (though I started out at 326.5) June 2006 – lost 30 lbs October 2006 – down 55 lbs. 2007 – stuck at 271 – yup for a year – up and down, but never past it. March 2008 – re-focused on myself, dedicated to moving past the plateau – spent more time on SP, joined a challenge: April 2008 – lost 11 lbs – (was back up to 275), now down to 264 – that was my 2nd 10% goal! Woohoo!! May 2008 – down to 260 June 25, 2008 – size 18!!! August 1, 2008 - 257.2!!

Right now I'm not doing much of anything - so I need to change that! I was working out at least 3 x's a week - and since September it's only been my upper body with a small amount of cardio b/c of the knee injuries. And it will continue that way for now - I'm not sure when I'll be back to working out - on crutches for a month - will be doing rehab so I will have to see how that goes.

I consider myself a displaced northerner here in the good old south! I spent most of my life in the north and have been here in Chattanooga for 8 years. I've been married for almost 7 of those. My hubby, Jay, have a dog named Sage who is our baby! I am a teacher of 3rd graders - and I love it!

I love spending time reading, drawing or coloring, crocheting, scrapbooking -really anything crafty that strikes my fancy at that moment, being outdoors, and of course spending my time with my hubby. I miss my family tremendously and talk to them everyday!
