edited September 2024 in Introduce Yourself
My name is Kelsey. I joined this site a while ago, but recently redownloaded the app to my iPhone. I am currently on my 4th day of my "diet." Really, all I'm doing is cutting out fried foods, fast foods, and any carbonated beverages. So far, so good, and I've lost 2 pounds. Doing some exercise, too, and even looking into starting Zumba hopefully soon! Pretty excited about that one. :o)

I've been struggling with my weight since I was in 6th grade, after my parents divorced. It's been a hard struggle, but I feel I'm finally ready to get this weight off me and finally look as good as I have always felt inside.

I wanted to take the time to introduce myself, finally, as I start on this journey. I would LOVE to have a support group that I could talk to regularly, during the ups and downs of this road I'm on. To me, it's doable alone but more enjoyable with a wonderful group of friends to lean on.

Thank you all for taking the time to read this. It actually feels really good to get this out in the open, now that I've come to terms with what needs to happen to achieve the goal I've set for myself. Started at 274 pounds on March 17th, 2011, and am now 272. Not a big decrease, but am still excited nonetheless! I look forward to meeting you all. :o)

    Back to losing weight. Seems to be my life's work. I'm fatter then ever now and back to working out and am going to eat right, or closer then now. I'm at 310 right now and want to be back at 245. Lots of work todo and lots of time to do it.
