The beginning...

I'm finally ready to rid myself of all this extra weight forever! I started the BFC on March 3rd. My first week I lost 4 lbs. I'm now down to 182.4 as of Wednesday. Mondays will be my official weigh days. Below is my intro on the BFC for women over 40 group on facebook.

I'm very excited to start this program and end the dieting forever!!! It all makes so much sense and I love the fact I can still have my creamy sauces!! Whoohoo! I'll just need to be careful on my pasta portions. Here's my story... I'm 42, 5.5", 186.4 lbs and my waist is 36.5". My goal weight is between 145-155 It's been so long since I've been near those It's been so long since I've been near those numbers that I'll decide when I get close. I've yo-yo'd for the past 20 or so years. I've always been a very big eater with high metabolism but you know what happens with age... sucks! I did lose 35 lbs on Weight Watchers about 10 years ago. I was successful with that because I had friend who did it with me and we weighed in together. I was not about to let her win! :-) So some friendly competition really helps me. If anyone wants to have some sort of friendly competition, let me know!

In the fall, I let myself get to 192... yikes!!! That's the biggest I've ever been even 9 months pregnant! I was able to lose a few lbs since the first of the year because I put it on so fast but now am struggling to keep that going. I'm very active... I have a dog walking business and I'm also a dog trainer so am on my feet and moving most of the time. I'm so excited to see results! I weighed this morning, measured my waist and took a before pic... ick. I should be receiving my book this week from Amazon and I joined the menu's only program... this is my first day...
