Hi!

plumpncurvy

I have been overweight my whole life, of course I have had ups and downs my I hit my highest weight or lowest point in April of 2010 I have slowly made changes and have lost 42 pounds but am ready to kick it up a few notches! I am a mom of 2 girls one who is extremely fit and has a goal of becoming a P.E. teacher and one who is starting to take on my bad habits. I have recently gone back to school and this site is part of our class but will probably stick with it for my own tracking, my goal is to be at a healthy weight by graduation and one day hope to provide nutrition and fitness counseling to others. I never really took the time to understand nutrition and fitness when I was younger, and now especially with one of my daughters starting to "pudge" out, I have taken it on full force, I am not interested in dieting, I am interested in changing my life, I am doing my best to make positive healthy choices for me and my family, some days is harder than others, and then there are those where I just give up completely! I have come to the mindset though that there is always tomorrow, just because I ate something unhealthy or was lazy today does not give me an excuse to do it again tomorrow, I no longer beat myself up over the occasional slip up, occasional slip ups is not what landed me in this position, it was an overall unhealthy lifestyle

hi, yes dieting sucks, making healthy choices and portion control is the way I think of it for sure.
