Thread: Hello from Supergurl

WOW! It has been about 3 weeks since I decided to change my life and I feel awesome. I have successfully stopped smoking menthol cigarettes since my last one on September 16, 2004 at 2 PM. I have not picked up one and remain determined to keep them out of my life. I have also changed my eating and exercising lifestyle. Instead of eating what ever I want I am being very strict with my calorie count, eating very little fat, increasing my fruits and vegetables and eating lean meat and fish. My daily caloric goal is to stay under 1650 calories a day. I am 5 feet 5.5 inches and have a medium to large bone structure and weigh 330 pounds right now. I am working towards a goal of 150 pounds. I have also increased my activity level from just about no exercise to getting some sort of exercise a minimum of three times a week. Mostly this includes walking or playing baseball with my children and occasionally doing some aerobics. I don’t have a lot of knowledge when it comes to dieting and exercise besides the normal stuff you see and here everyday. I have tried a few different diets like Atkins and slim fast, but haven’t kept the weight off, so I finally just committed to a lifestyle change and am sticking to my goals.

On a personal side I am a single parent of three children ages 11,10, and almost 8. I am cohabitating with my boyfriend who also has three kidos ages 13, 10, and 9. We have four of the six on a fulltime basis and the other two on a regular visitation schedule. I am a chef and work part time for a small catering company. I love food and love to cook and am very passionate about creating culinary delights, which has probably contributed to some of my weight issues.

Well that’s a little about me and a little about my goals. I would also like to say that this site has been such a great help and hope that I can give something back to the other members of this group. TTFN.
