Sucking it up

studswife

Hi Everyone,

My name is Amanda and I have been on MFP for about 1 week.

Currently I weight 220 lbs and I don't' know what I want my weight to be. I'm not sure what it should be. I found lots of calculators and formulas, but I figured I just want to get to a size 10. (Like a perfect 10) Then I'll reassess my goals from there.

I have always been over weight since, well, forever. I was a professional elliptical user and that's about it (randomly). 6 months ago I started Crossfit and it has totally changed my life! I have never stuck with an excercise for so long, I'm excited to find the workout I love!!! I'm also swimming. (I broke my ankle a month ago so that's how I'm getting my cardio.)

I started getting leaner, but not changing like I know I should be. It's all due to diet. That's the main reason that I joined MFP. Plus I'm so excited to see so many people who are not afraid of hard excercise. (I'm a true weenie when it comes to pain)

I'm so tired of being over weight. So I've decided to get the body I want, I need to suck it up... watch my food and log it in, make exercise a daily routine (except for my 2 rest days).

This seems to be a great group of positive people on this site, I'm really excited!

Very cool this is all such a learning experience and now I have to look up what Crossfit is. Sorry to hear about your ankle. Welcome
