Pecoch Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 I don't have a powerful story to share or anything poetic either. Just wanting to get healthy, lose body fat, build muscle and get fit!I am a 49 yo female. I am 5'10 and I weight 169 today. I quit smoking March 25, 2012 (yay me!). As a result I put on some weight. My heaviest was 178 on June 3rd. I know that's not terribly bad all things considered but it was heavier than I had ever been in my life! I was horrified and started this weight loss/fat loss journey. I have been to different sites, have purchased different "eating programs" and over the past 5 months I've lost a modest 9 lbs. Slow and steady as they say. I started eating a "clean" diet on July 12. I eat the Paleo way probably about 95%. The only thing that I don't eat in organic EVERYTHING or grass fed EVERYTHING. I insist on organic or free range or farm fresh eggs absolutely 100% of the time. Everything else I choose according to budget.I am not on a weight loss mission but a fat loss and muscle building mission. I am excited to continue my journey here and I hope to keep learning new lessons for eating, excercise and getting and staying healthy! Link to comment

Hiraedd Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Hey Pecoch! Just so you know "I quit smoking and I want to take responsibility for my health and fitness" is a pretty darn powerful story all in itself -- don't sell yourself short! Welcome to the rebellion. We're glad to have you on board. Hiraedd the Twice Risen: Hamadryad; Pilgrim battle log Link to comment

Pecoch Posted November 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Hi Hiraedd - I guess I've never really thought of it that way. I guess it is a pretty darn amazing accomplishment! Link to comment
