I am not sure where to begin! I am a Registered Nurse, a married mom of 5, two youngest ones are still at home. I am someone who has always been 10-20 lbs overweight most of my life. I've had stretches where I was right where I wanted to be, but it didn't last long. I run between a 24-25 BMI, so I know that's in the normal range, but I really want to hang around 21-22 BMI. I feel more comfortable there.
My wake up call was when I hit a 27 BMI 2 years ago. That was the only time I had been that heavy except for pregnancy. I was 50 and none of my clothes fit. I didn't feel good about myself, and hated looking in the mirror. Bathing suits? Ha! Forget about it!
So, 2 years ago I went on FAT SMASH after seeing Celebrity Fit Club with Maureen McCormick/Marcia Brady. I grew up with her on the Brady Bunch. She was my age, height and weight. She lost 30 lbs, and I thought if Marcia Brady could do it, so could I!!
I was successful in losing 24 lbs in 3 months. I wanted to lose 10 more. However, I stayed at that weight for about 3 months, then the holidays came around and I gained back 3 lbs. Ok, I could live with that, I told myself. Slowly over the next 2 years I gained back a total of 10 lbs, and decided I better take back control of my life.
So, here I am...back in the trenches. I've successfully gone through Phase I, and am here after 2 weeks of FAT SMASH losing 8 lbs. I'm within reach of my former weight loss now, and going for broke! I want to stay healthy!! I feel so much better when I eat right and exercise regularly...
Over the last 2 years, I have found so many great recipes for Phase I & II of FAT SMASH, that if you would like some suggestions, don't hestitate to email me.
Now, I'm going to GET SMASHIN'!!!
