edited October 2024 in Introduce Yourself
This week 3 of my girlfriends and I went on a getaway to Arizona to see our favorite hockey team play. At the game we were fans of the game. I looked like I was smothering. Tiny head on big body, muffin top, it was awful. I am refusing to not make a change!!! Today, is the first day of my life. I'm not going to always eat the perfect foods, I am not gonna always get to the gym, I am going to mess up. But, I am going to give it my all. If I fall gonna get up and conqueror it. I am going to need tips, support, friends, and I want to give that back as well. So add me if you want!! I'm ready to do this.

    Hey, I know how that feels. I always thought I was good looking but I have struggles to get the weight off after college. Now I have new goal in mind training for the Army National Guard. I want to let you know you have a whole support team and this website has helped me keep track and stay on top of it. Just remember you can't lie to yourself...thats why this works.

    Have a wounderful journey and keep in touch.

    Thank you all for such welcoming, encouraging, and kind words. I am determined to make this work. We CAN do this. It takes hardwork and dedication. I have set some mini-goals for the month of November I am going to make the time for a workout 6 days a week at least 30 min a day. I will eat breakfast everyday. I will only allow myself something sweet after my workout on tues and thursday. Those are my goals. Anyone care to share some of their own?
