My name is Lynn Haraldson Bering. Welcome to the weight-loss journal I've kept since July 2005. My personal weight-loss blog continues at Lynn's Weigh - The Journey Continues. Starting Weight: 296, Size: 30/32 in January 1, 2005 (I am 5'5" tall) Current Weight: 128, Size: 4/6 - Made goal in March 2007 ***Please visit the maintenance blog I write with Dr. Barbara Berkeley: “Refuse to Regain: Providing a supportive and educational online community dedicated to helping you maintain your weight loss”. Join the discussion board! Ask questions! We’d love to hear from you.***
On the left, that's me making lefse in October 2003. On the right, that's me in May 2008. I've lost about 168 pounds and have been in maintenance since March 2007. Thank you so very much for all your posts to my blog and guestbook, and for your emails, and especially for sharing your stories with me. Inspiration is reciprocal. What you give out you get back a thousand fold, and your communications with me inspire me all over again to keep on keepin' on, even when it feels like an uphill struggle. This website has been extremely instrumental in my weight loss, helping me stay accountable to myself and others by putting my weight victories and frustrations out there for the world to see. It's quite an emotionally freeing thing - journaling and updating progress photos - and I highly recommend it to anyone who is losing weight. When my granddaughter Claire was born in October 2007, I was so grateful I'd taken the time and effort to lose weight. She's so much easier to chase after at a lower weight! While I keep my weight in check for me, part of my motivation is to stay healthy for Claire.
I went on vacation to California and saw the Pacific Ocean for the first time. I purposely missed out on so much when I was obese. I would never have walked along the beach when I was 300 pounds, but I wish I would have. I spent too many years equating my weight with my self-esteem.
