<br />
Thank you for following my blog! :)<br />
<br />
UPDATE!! 4/25/13:
<br />I have lost 8 lbs. more since my last update making me now just 21
lbs.! from my goal weight of 180 lbs.!! by my goal date of 7/8/13!! I've
gotta really buckle down now & make some more time for toning up on
my manual treadmill!!...
<br />
<br />As a result adjustments reflected below:
<br />Hi everybody! My name is Kelly & I have been a member of MFP
since April 1st, 2010..In the time that I've been here I've lost 124
lbs.with the majority lost since August 17th,2011.I have just 21 lbs. to
go to meet my goal weight of 180 lbs. by my goal date of 7/8/13!!In
March 2012 I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes(-found out I'd had it
for 5 yrs.-),under active thyroid,& high cholesterol.In February
2013 I was told that my diabetes is going away. My thyroid is doing
better & my cholesterol is going down. I go back to the doctor in
May 2013 for a follow up. If my blood work comes back with the results
that my doctor hopes for he says that he will be able to take me off my
medications.My doctor is very impressed with my progress & says that
he is going to mark me down as a success story.I AM seeing results
& you can too!!... We all hit plateaus but we make our way through
it. Please don't give up!...
<br />
<br />The 1st time around in 2007 I lost 109 lbs. within like 4 months
time. Refer to pic of me (with my "rocker chick" look)at my thinnest. I
was like 19 lbs. from my weight loss goal when I came to the Adirondacks
to better my life on 1/4/2008. Unfortunately I had been under a lot of
stress up to that point & was severely malnourished. Had I not
removed myself from the situation I was in at that time I probably would
not have survived because I was sicker than myself or anyone knew.
<br />
<br />But I am getting healthier every day!I have cut my portions by more
than half.Eating lots of fresh fruits & vegetables.I eat chicken
& fish.I barely even eat any red meats these days.I rarely have soda
& I have only about 2-3 cups of coffee a day. I don't
crave/overindulge in sweets like some & for that I am thankful.
<br />
<br />
<br />For those of you that know me I keep VERY! busy.I am all over the
internet & I wear many hats. I have a lot of people that depend on
me & I need to be healthy to be able to do all that I do...
<br />
<br />I provide non-profit promotional assistance by helping musicians
(& some others) to promote their links & through recommendations
as well as airplay on our radio & TV stations.We also have a
musical movement geared toward child abuse awareness which is
incorporated into our promotions company & as part of our ministry. I
am an (ordained) reverend.I am a singer.
<br />
<br />I wanted to be able to do even more for the artists,etc. out there
so I recently rejoined the talent agency that I worked for as a
Manager/Agent some years ago.This time around I have more
responsibilities & with a different title of Event Promoter/Manager.
<br />
<br />I am a Peer Respite Advocate for a local non-profit agency. We are an alternative to the traditional mental health system.
<br />
<br />I also share missing/ exploited posters & amber alerts via the internet.
<br />
<br />As if that were not enough I have several other projects going on
like online studies to better my advocate/research specialist
work-assisting authorities in solving cold cases,etc...
<br />
<br />If you would like to know more about me-please feel free to add me
here.I like making new friends & being able to stay in contact with
the ones I've already made as well.:

I have since lost 36 lbs. as of today April 1st, 2010. I know it's not a lot but I'm <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Win%E2%80%93loss_record" rel="wikipedia" title="Win–loss record">losing</a> it slow-the healthy way. My ideal weight goal is 169 lbs. & I have 104 lbs. left to lose by my tentative goal date of 4/28/11. I felt that by starting a blog to track my progress would be helpful not only to myself but those that chose to follow my blog. I'm still new to the whole blogging process despite having written on other subjects in the past so please bare with me. If you could give me a few pointers along the way that might help too.I guess to begin my story I should tell you a little about my past history as to my weight struggles.Until I had my tonsils & adenoids out in 1978 I was a beanpole.By late 2006 I was at my heaviest-309 lbs.But by the time I'd turned 36 things began to change. I lost 109 lbs.on Slimfast but it happened within a few short months due to the stressful situation I was in at the time.I had ended a <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpersonal_relationship" rel="wikipedia" title="Interpersonal relationship">long term relationship</a> because it was literally making me ill. If I'd stayed in that unhealthy environment much longer I would have likely died.My friend Casper lead me to a better life for myself.So in January 2008 I moved nearly 300 miles from "home" to take my life in a new direction. I came here malnourished.I began having increased problems with concentration & memory. I was tired all the time.I looked like a skeleton. I needed to grow stronger.Within 8 months I gained all of the weight back that I had lost & then some because I was actually eating regular meals. But they were healthy meals with fruits & vegetables. I've been working on myself a lot in all areas including breaking old thought patterns as I had begun to think so low of myself. Stay tuned for more on this story...<br />
