My name is Bonnie. I'm 20, been chubby/overweight about two-thirds of my life.

This whole past year, I've been between like 287 and 292, and that's too close to 300 for my comfort. I told myself I'd never reach 300. So I decided this is a good time to get into gear and lose weight before I do reach that high.

I'm doing a partial Slim-Fast diet, and for exercise I do: Biggest Loser cardio max DVD or Leslie Sansone's Walk Away the Pounds DVD that has 3 workouts- 1 mile, 2 mile, and 3 mile.

I've been working at this for a lil over two weeks now and am still going pretty strong, which is surprising cuz every other time I've tried to lose weight I've quit after a week or week and a half due to lack of motivation/determination.

So far I've lost 5 pounds and am proud of it.

Welcome! Hopefully you'll love this site as much as the rest of us do. If you stick to the site and keep up with your workout dvd's you'll be amazed at how fast it starts falling off....I consider myself a poster child for that!

Good luck!!!!!!!!!
