Hello everyone it is time for me to get very real here. If you follow my Blog, twitter or Facebook then you know I have never posted a picture of myself, well I take that back I did post one from Thanksgiving after my daughter and I put up our Christmas tree this past year but that is it. There is a reason I haven’t put up any pictures and that is my weight. Don’t get me wrong my self-esteem is not low it’s just my body is unhealthy and there are factors in my health history that warrant me making this change more aggressively now. So I will be honest here about whats going on in my life, my weight loss, my exercise, my set backs and my triumphs all without excuses.

Current Stats

Sex: Female
Age: 43 (will be 44 this year)
Weight: 198.8
Height: 5’3”
Illnesses: Asthma (currently under control)
Health History: Breast Cancer (Mom), Upper Respiratory issues (Paternal Side of family)

My Weight Goal: 130lbs That means I will need to loose about 70lbs (roughly) (at my current weight it would be 68.8lbs)

I am asking all of my foodie friends for food or recipe suggestions and to keep me very honest about my food choices. All I ask is please be nice about it, berating someone will get you nor me anywhere and I will not post any comments that are negative or belittling. I will try not to be annoying on this journey but I ask for your patience and understanding. With that said the journey has begun.

Update: You can email me at allingoodfood@gmail.com

Good for you! Being real is a hard thing to do, I know because I've never really done it online. I'm working on weight loss as well, so I'll be cheering you on!
