Now that I'm heading into another year of my life, I think it's time to update my profile. After losing Halas on 12/13/14, I no longer own a horse, but I do have my rescue/soap opera kitties - Sami and EJ.

Except for a few weeks here and there, I've been obese my entire life, and the most I've weighed is 272 pounds. Since I'm Madam Yo-Yo, I've dieted and eaten my way back to that weight several times. My mantra has become "I don't want to be a crippled old lady", so it's time to ...
Now that I'm heading into another year of my life, I think it's time to update my profile. After losing Halas on 12/13/14, I no longer own a horse, but I do have my rescue/soap opera kitties - Sami and EJ.

Except for a few weeks here and there, I've been obese my entire life, and the most I've weighed is 272 pounds. Since I'm Madam Yo-Yo, I've dieted and eaten my way back to that weight several times. My mantra has become "I don't want to be a crippled old lady", so it's time to make some permanent changes to my attitude and eating habits.

Member Since: 4/16/2008

Fitness Minutes: 226,018

My Goals:
My fitness goals are deadlifting 150 pounds and holding a plank for 5 minutes.

I want to be happy and healthy.

It's also important to me to finally break my additive and binge eating habits.

My Program:
 I will continue my fitness regimen, because it's working.

I've been overweight/fat/obese/whatever you want to label it all my life. Relating to food differently is a priority. I will stop dieting and start living.

    I bought the Body Champ for these reason: it is recumbent, and low to the ground. I have balance problems and I am far less likely to fall off of it. It's not very big also and I am not a big person. Takes up to 300 -400 lbs, I forget. I think the 300 lbs. The seat is NOT comfortable, I have learned specific stretches that I do prior and after biking that seem to alleviate this problem, mostly/ Not shaped like a regular bike seat at all, so buying padding was out of the question. It comes with tools but you have to put it together yourself and some assistance is a good idea, although i didn't have any and it took me three days to do it. I bought it I believe with my Montgomery Ward or Ginny's credit, it is not expensive as some or cheap as others about $249.00 to $299.99. I believe I bought it on sale and I had to wait 3 months for it as the order was backed up. Made in China.

    emoticon Today I am going to try something new. Will it be a new recipe? emoticon Or maybe a new exercise? emoticon I find trying new things keeps me from getting in a rut. SO how about we both try something new today? Ruthie emoticon
