Hi there. Well, you have started and you are not going back. I joined this Feb and I have lost 3kg (I am South African, not too familiar with the pound system). The last time I weighed, I was 68.6. Lets get going. Every little bit that comes off feels like such a big achievement.0

Well, it seems you already have the beautiful part down, so the thin part is the only challenge that's left here, as I see it.0 -
I'm in Florida, too. Welcome and I agree. Even all the beach combers aren't all beauty queens, although, they may be in bikinis LOL. My 17 year old daughter said her goal is to be that really tanned, leathery, wrinkled old lady walking on the beach for exercise. You know you've seen them and I have to admit, I wouldn't mind being her, too.
PS Gainesville, Florida GAL0 -
Im in Florida too... at least we have beautiful weather for biking (not all crazy with the helmet n gear... more like on a regular bike at at normal pace) , walking or just plain being outside. . . just remember YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL NO MATTER WHAT SIZE YOU ARE!!!0

Yes, I have to agree we do have beautiful weather almost year round. So Florida Gals! Lets get out there and show the world what getting healthy looks like!
I'm in Clearwater (near the airport) and wanting to start training for a 5k. Anyone in the same area?0 -
Greetings from Ireland ): you are with friends......... just simplify things in your mind and do it, after all we're all in the same boat .0

Im from florida! You have to admit its a great place to get fit while everyone else is snowed in we can be out and about walking and jogging they Dont call it the sunshine state for nothing0

I'm in Central Florida here! You are beautiful, and in case you haven't noticed thin is not really the norm anywhere anymore, except maybe Hollywood...CA, that is! Not that I strive to the norm. Be exceptional, and I am sure you are, and with the help of this site you can acheive all your exceptional goals. Not to be too preachy or law of attraction/metaphysical on you, but negative self-talk and outward talk is damaging. Trust me I know. I am my own worst enemy with it. But I am trying to talk, think, and believe myself as thin as all my efforts are aiming to produce. Sounds corny, but it matters. My father was a medical doctor and had a real scientific and logical mind, and even he was absolutely convinced of the power of the mind over matter or reality. So you are everything you want to be, it is within you, just take the outward steps to produce the results and they will come. Maybe not all at once, maybe not without setbacks, but they will. Hope I helped.0

Hello there everyone! I am from Central Fl as well. And hate sweating! lol that seems like a contradiction to losing weight and exercising but it is true. I started really dieting just last week, I had downloaded the app before at the beginning of the year but kept eating everything in sight. This last week was different, I am 27, a size 16 feeling beautiful and smart, but just recently I discovered I am also a type 2 diabetic. It is not about trying to fit any stereotype or norm, I need to lose 38 pounds in order to reach my healthy weight. So here we go!!! My hugs to you! Add me fellow Floridians if you like, let's make this journey fun!0
