100 People — 100 Pound

My goal for 2014

As the new year approaches and I’m excited to begin the year and finish my journey to release 200 pounds of unhealthy weight I reached a decision this morning. I am making it a life goal beginning today to support 100 other people in losing 100 pounds.

Having been the former Queen of the Weight Lost and Found Department for over 20 years, I understand the pain, the shame, the embarrassment, the hopelessness which goes with being obese and feeling like you are destined to remain that way.

Sever years ago, I had given up on myself and was resigned to just stay fat and hope each day was not the day I would have a heart attack and die. It was only when I realized I could begin my journey to health without being perfect I regained my confidence to begin again.

Over the past 7 years, by making small lifestyle changes and focusing on 1 day at a time have I been able to make progress and understand the process. It is not about another diet. It is about changing how we live.

Beginning today, I am looking for those 100 people who will choose me to support them on their path to lose 100 pounds.
