Bio
I am not sure what my motivation is for taking this challenge other then that I want to look great and feel better physically and mentally.I have been up and down in my weight my whole life .My Mom was obese and instilled in me a love of food !My twin sister had gastric bypass surgery and I don't want to get to that point -sometimes the weight just creeps up on you,you know.At 14 I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer with hypothyroidism .I thought that I was cured but was diagnosed with a reoccurrance in 1998.My body doesn't respond to radioactive iodine so I am currently living with the disease.I have a beautiful 12 year old son who I adore ,I want him to have a healthy Mom and I want him to have healthy lifestyle habits.I feel this challenge is just the motivation I need to change my lifestyle,I was stuck in a rut and didn't know how to change.Walking and Zumba are exercises I enjoy.I am not a huge fan of weight training or vegetables but I do know that I will accomplish my goals and I am grateful for this program for helping me to get there!
Update- June 12 2011 -42 lbs lost ,6 inches off waist, size 12 to size 5 all thanks to Sharecare/Dr .OZ
