Obese full-time working single mom - Finally on track!

ChristieLindsay

Hi everyone. I'm new to the message boards, even though I bought Insanity almost a year ago. I couldn't quite work up the courage to start. I finally stepped up though and hit PLAY on February 3rd, but construction stalled my progress, and I restarted the program on Monday, February 10th.

I am a 31 y/o full-time working, single mom of 2. And I am obese. I started my journey at 238 lbs, having never done a TRUE cardio workout in my life. I began with altering my diet cutting out sugar and processed foods, and lost 25 lbs in two and a half months.

Now its time to put in the WORK to get the results that I really want.

I'm starting this thread for anyone that has just started, or is thinking about starting Insanity or some other intense program who has a lot of weight to lose and is scared about doing it.

I want to know what it feels like to be "skinny" but most importantly, I want to get HEALTHY. My boyfriend and I are family planning for another baby at the end of this year, and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt, that I cannot have another baby at 200+ pounds. Its not fair to me, or the baby. I need to work towards my goal now.

I've started blogging as a method of accountability, and to provide encouragement and motivation to anyone that thinks they just can't do it.

If I can do it, so can you. Follow along on my journey, and send me a buddy invite. I'd love to follow you on yours too. Who is with me?
