Sometime soon I'll be able to download some pictures of what I looked like from the beginning of my transformation. It's been a very slow process. I'm older now and most people would just give up and not try anymore, but I am determined to get the results. After my fall and my comeback, nothing will get in my way of my transformation. I have determination that will never quit until I get to my goal. It should be interesting what I will look like in a year or two because it will probably take me that long to get there. I have never been in my life what my goal is, I can't wait to see what it is going to be like. I just don't know how many 1000's of exercises that I will have to do to get there. It seems like an eternity.
In 1995 when I had my hip replaced my surgeon told my husband that I needed to lose weight. That didn't sit well with me. The doctor should have told me himself. I had some pains that I didn't know how to work through. I ended up gaining 50 more pounds because I didn't know how to lose weight then. I thought I was eating healthy, but I was not. I could not do much exercise because of certain problems with the hip replacement and my muscles.
2001 our son graduates from high school, and by the end of the year he's married. I was in not good health then. I weighed 220 pounds by then.
2004 I started working out at the gym. I found out that I was 50% fat. I never made much progress because I could never do enough exercise to burn enough calories to do any good. I may have lost a few pounds.
2006 I'm working all the time sitting 40 hours a week in a chair. A little exercise maybe. I have a terrible fall when my hip goes numb when I'm going down the steps in my garage. I fall to my left and down on the cement ground I fell. Well I'm in the hospital for a week. I'm home for a week, and then I'm back to work the next week. I continue to have excruciating pain for the remainder of 2006 and beyond. I start physical therapy. I met with my Orthopaedic Surgeon, and he says I need to lose weight to my face. I'm with a walker and I cant' walk. I told my Physical Therapist about what the doctor said, and he says he can help me lose the weight.
2007 I'm working and going to therapy.
2008 Aug. I'm ready to start some exercises. I weight 206 and I have 46% fat on me.
Here is the rest of my numbers that I want to keep.
I have lost my records for weight lost from Aug thru November's numbers. I mostly did water aeroebics in the pool during this time.

My weight is up and down and all over. My therapist gave me a book to read called the China Study. I recommend everyone in the world to read it. It took me awhile to really want to do it. My father came down with bone cancer, and that is when I got really serious in changing my diet. I never changed over till Nov of 2008. I will tell it now that I'm so healthy now. For me because of my injuries the weight is still slow coming off. I feel healthy, and I don't have to worry about things as much. I don't have cholesterol issues. I'm not going to get diabetes. I'm not going to have heart disease. My veins are clean, and I don't have hardening of the arteries which causes strokes and cancer.

Here is where I stand so far. It was grueling hard work to get to where I am today. It has taken forever, but if I gave up I'd be over 200 lbs again. Funds are getting tight, so I'm thinking of selling my furniture in the livingroom to continue this journey. Maybe I'll have to go down to once a week or once a month. I made this into a graph, but when I posted it the graph went crazy on me. I'm starting to feel better from my fall. A miracle!
