Introduction Hello, my name is Barb, aka The Tortoise. I am on a mission to let go of 100 pounds - not lose 100 pounds, mind you, because when you lose something you usually go looking for it again. Over the years, I have tried every diet ever written (at least that what it feels like) and I have dieted myself to my heaviest weight ever. For the first time in my 53 years of life, I have come up with my own plan, what I truly believe will work for me. My plan is not set in stone and will alter as necessary to continue on my slow and steady journey of getting healthier. The Aesop's Fable of the Tortoise and the Hare has always been one of my favorites. I can easily relate it to my dieting, always trying to be the "Hare", dropping pounds as quickly as possible. This time, my plan is to be "The Tortoise" and let it go slowly and steadily.
