Wow! What a journey I had to my LIFESTYLE CHANGE

I think that we have all had those moments when you have woke up, or saw a picture of yourself, and have thought - is that really me? I had that "aha" moment last spring. I knew that it was important for me to get serious about being a healthy human being for both my family and myself. I also knew that I needed help and accountability if I was going to lose weight. I was so scared! I made an appointment with a Lifestyle Consultant and that was all it took. The information and knowledge that Donna had was amazing . I knew that I was ready and that they were there to help me be successful. When I decided that 50 pounds was my goal, I left and though to myself - Are you crazy? That will never happen!. I have never been a healthy grocery shopper so the grocery list itself was pretty frightening. After three hours in a grocery store, I had my first week of groceries.

As the weeks turned in to months, everything got easier, and I would just take five pounds at a time. The small goals that I made for myself was the key to my success, along with all of the great information and encouragement that each and every Lifestyle Consultant gave to me. Encouragement was given to me when I was feeling frustrated because I didn't lose any weight for three weeks - we brainstormed together to see what was happening. I made the changes I needed to by ramping up my exercise program and changing what I was eating and sure enough, I was a few steps closer to my lifestyle change.

I sit and write this six months later, 55 pounds lighter, and all I can say is Thank You! In my 42 years I have never felt so healthy. I have truly learned that it is not about how much you weigh, but about being a healthy you and being comfortable with who you are. I know that I couldn't have done it without the Healthy Inspirations Program; encouragement and knowledge from each of the Lifestyle Consultants; and of course my family.

Currently it sounds like Movable Type is the top blogging platform out there right now.
(from what I've read) Is that what you're using on your blog?
