About Me

Hello. I am Aimee. I am 28 years old at the time of writing this born September 22, 1982. I am a Virgo :) I live in the western tier of New York with my wonderful husband, 3 insane cats and 2 parakeets.

I have always struggled with weight issues for as long as I can remember. I wasn't always so overweight but I always thought I was. Alot of self esteem issues there.

I began my journey in January 2009 when I was diagnosed with Diabetes & PCOS. I weighed upwards of 230lbs at the time. My BS was in the 200-300s. My A1C was 11%. I was put on Metformin and Novolog 70/30 insulin. Within one month I lowered my insulin.

I started off perfectly and lost 20 lbs. I got my A1C down to 5.7 by May. I was taken off insulin and told I was a poster child for doing what I was supposed to!

But then things started going wrong. My Doctor who I loved left to another city. My other Doctor was not good at all or helpful. I got alot of stress and fell off the path hardcore. I stopped going to the Dr. I stopped eating right. I gained back everything I had lost.

Jan 2011 I am back though. Prepared to do it right and stick with it for good this time.!!

I count calories and watch my carbs. I use sparkpeople.com which is free and amazing! I eat between 1,290 - 1,640 calories a day & stay under 200 carbs.

I exercise currently Sun, Tues, Fri & Sat. With Wii- My Fitness Coach for 30 mins. And Walk Away The Pounds Dvd. I also try to play the Wii for atleast 30 mins everyday doing wii fit or Just Dance.

My Goal for now is to hit 165lbs. That would put me at the very top of the normal weight for my height. Once I get there I will recheck my goal and see where I want to weigh from there.
