About

Hi there, my name is Cynthia and obviously, I have a weight problem to blog about. So here I am, a 50 year old housewife who wants to get reasonably lean and fit. I figure I'm entitled to a mid-life crisis and this is it! Though it's more a "rest of my life" crisis if you know what I mean!

I'm married to a wonderfully supportive husband, George, who also has weight issues to work on. I am owned by three busy kitty children, Sister, Tablet and Luna.

The time to change is always NOW!

I started what I plan to be my final weight loss journey back in October 2006. At that time, I’d reached my highest weight of 262 pounds and just knew I had to give fat loss another try. My ankles were killing me. My weight was killing my spirit. I was headed for a wheelchair.

The GOO was getting in my way!

Yet I know I am strong enough to make better choices now.

Why blog about GOO?

GOO (a.k.a body fat), isn't the most pleasant topic. But I'm not the only person out there trying to trash it. I started this blog in the hopes that the entirely too public exposure of my successes, failures and foibles would help keep me accountable.

Blogging is QUITE new to me! So this blog will be a work in progress, just as my body is. Maybe you can relate, perhaps something I say will do you good and it's entirely possible that something YOU say here will help ME out!
