I'm New - Reality Check - Getting healthier

Tonight I had a reality check when I stepped on the scale. I weighed in at 239 lb which is the highest I have been in a while. I got inspired after watching the Biggest Loser. I connected with their honesty about why & how they got to their unhealthy status. One statement that hit home was.. the bad part was that I didnt realize how bad it was. You get to a point where you try to embrace your curves & be positive and live your best life but it is unhealthy. I am turning 50 at the end of April and I am looking forward to getting moving and getting healthier so I can participate in more activities with my kids and overall feel better.. The last 2 days I have taken walks and it feels good. Time to be honest with myself, let go of past hurts and failures and move on. Hope this post inspired someone. I would love to share this journey with others.
