Thanks for visiting my site!

Hi, I am Cheri Thomas. I’m a 42 year old Technical Writer, who lives in sunny Silicon Valley. I see myself as an optimistic overeater, who continually strives to live a healthier and fuller life. On 11.11.11, I began a journey to naturally lose 50 lbs. in 6 months and NaturalWeightLossShow.com is my storyboard of the successes and failures along my journey to a healthier me. I love good food, gardening, writing, cooking, and hiking. Please feel free to browse around the site and hopefully you’ll find some ideas, recipes and motivation!

Here’s my story

In my late twenties I remember telling myself I’d never go above 130 lbs. Fast forward about twenty years later and I’ve officially gone over and above my original weight goal of 130 lbs. Let’s just say I’m “slightly” over my ideal weight.

Over the last three years I’ve attempted to step back on the weight loss bandwagon, but my efforts have continued to be fleeting and short-lived. A quick browse through my old Natural Weight Loss Show. Blog will attest to my lack of commitment.

So now it’s time…I’m pursuing a healthier lifestyle and taking time everyday to care for my appearance and health. I began my journey to naturally lose 50 lbs. in 6 months on 11.11.11 and am blogging here at my Natural Weight Loss Show Blog a few times a week to track my progress and chat about my weight loss struggles and achievements. I believe blogging to a public forum will be just the incentive I need to stay on track (this time). I’ve also enlisted my husband, Dave who built this site, and Roberta Borchardt with Your Weight Your Life to help support and encourage me to finally lose the weight and keep it off for good.

I look forward to collaborating, sharing ideas and building a community to help each other on achieving weight loss success for good.
