Very New

I've only been on this site for 5 days now, so I'm still very new and frankly, this site and I are still on our honeymoon :smile:

I'm being really good about staying honest with what I eat, which has always been the problem, I LIE LIE LIE - who ate that donut? I have no idea who ate that donut, I didn't even know there were donuts! (it was totally me). Because of this I've got a huge since of denial about my weight.

I wish I had some great healthy reason for doing this but it's all vanity. My best friend just got engaged last week and I have no desire to be the whale in the pictures. So I've got a year I'm figuring to get my act together, be honest with myself and work as hard as I possibly can (goodbye chicken fajitas!)

To all of you who have worked so hard to get where you are, and are enjoying rewards, you're my inspiration!


Wish me luck!
Lauren :heart:

    Hi, and welcome!
    I know just how you feel about wanting to look good, since I feel the same way!
    My son is getting married next April, and I want to look as good as I can in the pics, same as you do in yours!
    Here's hoping that we'll BOTH look FANTASTIC in them!

    Welcome!

    You're on the right track. This site will teach you to eat properly as long as you are honest and log everything. You're very lucky that you don't have any health reasons to lose weight and it is still just vanity.
