I’ve talked about my weight struggles here before. I was doing a weight loss program, and had some success with it until I took an emotional nose dive and started “eating my feelings” again. Well all that is about to change! I’m getting my life back, my weight loss mojo back, and a healthier body! I’ve teamed up with Shaklee and 89 other bloggers to make a healthy lifestyle turnaround! So for the next 6 months, you’re going to see me taking about making healthy choices, trying new recipes, and sharing the yummy and healthy foods provided to me by Shaklee.
But I need your help. I need you to cheer me on, keep me accountable and kick my butt if necessary! I have a goal of a minimum of 40 pounds in the next 6 months, hopefully more! I know I can do it!
Here’s where it gets scary for me. I’m going to show you just how much I weigh. This is not my top weight, I’ve managed to lose some, but this number still disgusts me, makes me angry and want to cry, all at the same time. This is the LAST time I will see a number this high.
Now, I realize that a number doesn’t define me, but its something that I struggle with. I have battled self esteem issues my whole life, and my weight has played a big part of that. I am doing this because its for ME. I want to be healthier, more active and the best me I can be!
As part of this program I’ll be doing some new things! Expect to see some vlogs and challenges and all kinds of fun things! I’m super excited about the changes I’m making and the results I’ll soon be seeing! 🙂 I’ll still be posting Weigh In Saturdays and sharing my weekly results. Once a month I’ll show you the scale and tell you how many inches I’ve lost 🙂 So you can cheer me on and tell me how awesome I am 😉

I can't wait to see you transform and reach your goals! I have a feeling you are going to kick Shaklee butt and I can't wait to watch you do it!!
Eeek! So proud of you. That takes a whole lotta guts to show a number – I admire you so much! It's so great to know so many bloggers are going through the same things. We're all here, cheering you on!
I'm proud of you too lady! I'm working on my post now..you gave me courage and we will do this thing together!
I am proud of you, Jennifer. I weighed more than that before I had gastric bypass 3-1/2 years ago. I lost 150 lbs. and would like to take off a little more. I have neck and back injuries which were very crippling for me. I still have some pain, however, the joy in my life far outweighs the pain. I have my life back. I look forward to seeing how you do it through this program and maybe I will try it, too. You are an inspiration in many ways. Best wishes!
…You will only defeat yourself if you let that nasty little voice inside tell you -"I can't do this"– "I'm no good "–" I have no will power so what's the sense of even trying"…Etc…Etc…If you want it you can do it !!!
I am on the same journey. Something clicked in me when I saw this series getting started on another favorite blog. Hope you don't mind if I share it with you. http://www.brassyapple.com/p/refashion-your-life….
I started walking on the treadmill everyday. As much as I would like to shed these extra 60+ lbs today. I know now it is about creating new habits, recognizing my eating triggers, and good support.
Best Wishes on the start of your journey!
