52-year-old Barb Henderson, the winner of Lighten Up in 2010, is back for a second round determined to finish what she started last year. The Painesville resident will continue to use the eating program she followed last year, but has joined Fitworks to get active this year.

Saturday February 26 (morning)

First weigh in - done.  Well, not officially since it's only 10:00 a.m. and we don't meet at Slim & Fit until noon but in my mind I'm already thinking about the second month of the contest.  If there's a loss, it will be minimal and I need to work harder and if there's a gain, then I need to work harder.  Period.  Get out the straw and move on!
 
Last year I had a very strong start in the first month as far as weight loss goes, but walking one time around our neighborhood would wear me out.  This year will be a weak start in the weight loss department but since a "normal" walk in our neighborhood is now three times around with jogging in the cul-de-sacs, that's still a major accomplishment.
 
And for some reason at the beginning of this contest when the starting gates opened, I went and sat in the bleachers for the first three weeks!!  It wasn't until this past weekend that things started to click in my thick brain about concentrating on the healthy choices that need to be made and what needs to be done to reach my goals. 
 
Looking forward to seeing everyone today! 
Barb
