My struggle as of late...
Even though I am a weight loss coach, it does not mean I do not have my own struggles with weight. As I stated before it is a daily choice and some days I make better choices than others.
Since meeting my weight goal of 160 back in mid 2007 and have maintained my weight loss up until a few months ago...I too have put some pounds on in the mid section that I would like to lose (currently at 168). My life has had so many changes in the last year and more so the last couple months. The biggest one being I quit my FT job at a property management firm where I made very good money to live and work my passion as a FT coach and entrepreneur. Not having a regular income and not knowing from week to week when my money will be coming is a hill I am moving on getting over. Eating has been my fall back when I am stressed and I know better...but as we all know sometimes it is easier said than done. My boyfriend is a FT entrepreneur and has been for almost his entire adulthood. So I am learning a lot from him and he has been incredibly supportive personally and professionally. The money is coming in; but it is just a serious adjustment to work through when you are so use to knowing how to plan a budget every two weeks when you get paid.
So I am going to use this blog to share my ups and down etc with you all and if I can help others with my successes and struggles; I would be glad to do that as well.
Being that for my height my weight range should be between 135-160; originally when I first started my weight loss at 235 I shot for the high range of 160 and I met it; well now that it has been a couple years; I now want to reach for my ultimate goal of 140-145. A size 6 has been something I have always wanted to fit into! :)

Thanks so much for your kudos about my story! You too! It's definitely a journey, and one I'm still not done with yet, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. All the work has been more than worth it, and I'm a trillion times happier (and healthier!) now.
Good luck with your coaching! What a neat way to help people. It really does make a difference to be with someone that "gets it". It's completely different from someone who's never struggled with their weight.
I'm doing okay, thanks. I am a little stressed with school. It's the end of the quarter, and I am in desperate need of my 2 week break before fall classes start. I feel like I'm constantly on the go! I just need to breathe and relax. I'm doing great in my classes...I'm just too hard on myself sometimes. Hope you're having a nice week:-)
I've actually run a few 5k's, a 5 miler, and a 1/2. I love races, but unfortunately the cost adds up over time so I try and limit them.
How crazy to find eachother here! Small world!
I am so excited you've joined! It's nice to know there is a place for so many people to get the help and support as we work towards weight loss and creating a healthy lifestyle. I look forward to staying tuned to your results.
