My Journey to Lose the NEXT 100 Pounds

Hi!!  My name is Donna and I am inviting you to join me for the next phase of my journey to become thin, fit, healthy and happy.  
Beginning today, I am challenging myself to complete my 200 pound weight loss goal.  So, everyday I hope  to blog about what I am doing to get healthy and lose the last 100 pounds.

You see, I have already lost 100 pounds, but I have been stuck at this point for a couple of years.  Recently I had a serious medical scare and my husband, my doctors and yours truly weren't so sure I was going to turn the corner and get better this time. I decided (along with the guidance of my Heavenly Father), it was time to get back on track and stop fooling around.  This life was a gift to me, and it is no drill. This is it.

I am a former teacher, I have an MSW in clinical social work and I am also a certified wellness coach.  To release the first 100 pounds, I have had to make many changes in my life.  I have learned tons about nutrition, diet and exercise.  But I have also learned that in order to live a thin, fit, healthy, happy life, it takes more than those three elements to really achieve my goal.  I am excited to share what I am learning with you and what is working for me.  I will be giving tips, tricks, motivations, successful goal setting ideas, scientific findings, and lots more.  I will also be sharing about my life, my thoughts and my wellness program.

I hope you will join me, whether you have some weight to lose yourself, or you would just like to cheer me on.  I would really love for you to be part of this blog by giving me your feedback and by sharing your own ideas and giving me your comments about my progress.  I also hope you will ask me lots of questions. At the same time,  I would also love to learn about YOU, and what has worked or hasn't worked for you in your own efforts to lose weight.  Maybe we can even become accountability buddies as we release those pesky pounds together. I hope we can go do this together and live a "Lean Clean Green Lifestyle."
