Ready to Change!

Options
Good afternoon!
Today is the day that I make a change for the better. All my life, I have been on the pudgy side of life. I lead a very sedentary lifestyle. When not at work, where I sit all day, I enjoy watching movies and playing video games. I was finally had reached a weight I was VERY happy with. But I have slacked off so much in the good habits I had begun to have, that I am no longer happy with myself. Not only that, I struggle with stairs and can't run for more than six seconds without being SUPER winded. I am ready to make a change that will lead to a healthier me.
With that said, I could definitely use people to hold me accountable for my progress. Please feel free to add me as a friend.
Good luck to all!

    We have a similar lifestyle. I sit at a desk all day and enjoy watching movies as well. I started living a healthier lifestyle in January. I'm down 6 pounds and went down a pant size! :)

    I'm the same. I've got prom in 3 months and I hope that will be enough motivation to drop a dress size or two.

    Congratulations! I'll be SO happy when that's me. It's amazing what six pounds can do to the way your clothes fit and your self esteem.

    Thanks! Once you see results you become addicted. Do you go to the gym or do you workout at home?

    I don't do either right now. I have a gym membership but have only gone five times total and have had it since September...Terrible I know!
    I hate waking up early to go before work and I am always tired by the time I get off work. Excuses excuses. I'm going to try to at least make it twice a week to get started. I know it's not much but I think starting slow is better than starting strong and then giving up.
