I just found this additional blog of ...OMG Tracey!! I just found this additional blog of yours. I am sooooooo with you. As I read your words, they were like a knife in my stomach. I have been completely disgusted with "who" I am lately. <br />I miss being my husbands girlfriend. My first husband left me and my daughter too when she was two, he also found a girlfriend. urgh!! <br />Anyway, looking back now, I'm glad he did. We have a much better life with my most supportive husband. <br />I want to be that someone I once was for me. I am tired of walking around in my couple pairs of jeans I have and don't forget the black shirts that you rotate. <br />I used to run cross country in HS, and then taught aerobics in college. Got married and then poof...babies, fat, and a person that I no longer know. <br /><br />My joints hurt, my back hurts, I'm tired and am sick of it. These descriptive words DO NOT belong to me. <br />I have always wanted to run some marathons. I am 40 and it's time to start moving this junk in my trunk. <br />I am soooo following your progress and am jumping on board. <br />Your words are real life to me and I'm sure others too. <br />Thank you for doing this, for the inspiration. I am afraid I will quit! There I said it!! <br /><br />Thanks again for me, my husband and my children.Kristi https://www.blogger.com/profile/08199722453944198618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-376537751849469226.post-77655064807089644622011-01-19T13:28:17.796-08:002011-01-19T13:28:17.796-08:00Wow you don't know me but wow those pictures c...Wow you don't know me but wow those pictures could be describing me.. 95 lbs when I married my hubby 28 years ago.. yup hs sweethearts--and now I'm hoovering at 170!! theres nothing sexy going on here and it makes me sick!!

I now have a goal to be my "wife's boyfriend" and am going to do what I can to make that a reality. She deserves the hot guy she married. I am going to get there- just as I know you will.jeff randallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07535965439920700293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-376537751849469226.post-14344847849228406012011-01-17T13:51:18.546-08:002011-01-17T13:51:18.546-08:00Tracey, your story brought tears to my eyes. You ...Tracey, your story brought tears to my eyes. You are an inspiration and very brave...and more than anything you CAN do it!<br /><br />I am also a mother and have gained more weight than I want after the births of my 3 babies. I too, am striving to make a change in my life and get the 'old me' back. <br /><br />I will be following your blog, and relating inevitably, to your trials and tribulations, frustrations, joys and successes. Just know that I, like many others, am rooting for you, because through your journey our strength will grow.<br /><br />Thank you Tracey!<br /><br />~AmyAmynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-376537751849469226.post-34288741120021838012011-01-17T07:40:55.078-08:002011-01-17T07:40:55.078-08:00You will do amazing, Tracey!

I'm going to do my first 5k with my bff and this is just my start...you know that my doctor told me three months ago that I had 3 months to get my diabetes under control or he was putting me on insulin...i was like "hells NO". My A1C was an "11" and of course my weight was up, so I started taking my diabetes medicine and watching what I eat...its NOT easy at all...baby steps right. While three months later, I just got ALL of my results back and my A1C is down to a "6.9", everything is where its suppose to be and I've lost almost 15lbs...of course, I have to start on the exercise more(I got sidetracked with the holidays) but I'm starting back up...So I have to keep my diabetes in check, start exercising more, eat healthy and of course,I'm anemic, so I'm on iron pills, but its coming...slowly, but its happening. I'm excited to follow this journey with you girl :)<br />xoxo, <br />LauraLaurajeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00522454987937901841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-376537751849469226.post-63683361289219731122011-01-16T23:04:12.149-08:002011-01-16T23:04:12.149-08:00Let me just say that sexy has never left! But I un...Let me just say that sexy has never left! But I understand the health issues, and generally just not feeling great physically and/or emotionally! Thank you so much for doing this! I'm getting ready to deploy again soon and was looking for something to keep me physically motivated since my "fun" options will be limited. Last year I set my mind to completing a marathon before age 40 (Checked the marathon box on May 15, 40 on May 19th - Woo hoo!) and trained while deployed. So, you tell me what events you're training for and I'll train with you in whatever capacity I can... on the other side of the world. Game on! :)Jocelynnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-376537751849469226.post-85856954523898201612011-01-16T19:25:53.037-08:002011-01-16T19:25:53.037-08:00You go Girl....

I'll be 46 in a few weeks, and I now weigh (yep, I'm gonna tell ya) 207, down from 211 a week ago! I wear a size 16 and can sqeeze into a 14 sometimes. I'm still 5' 9" thankfully! LOL I am sick of this weight and sick of being obese! Yep, thanks doc! I put the weight back on after losing it all when Jonah was born. Enough. I'm looking 50 in the face, people!

I'd really like to be a 13/14 by this time next year and then a new goal of a size 12. I make excuses about exercise since I provide private daycare in my home but after new years I decided I'd leave the house 40 mins earlier for our daily 3 block walk to the park and walk 2 miles pushing the kids in the jogging stroller. Well it started out great and I felt better almost immediately until I pulled a muscle in my shoulder blade a week ago Friday. I nursed myself all last week and come Monday...it's ON. So I am happy to support you any way I can. Let's go girl!Shemaine Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06107448366472396216noreply@blogger.com
