100 pounds to lose...."Just do it!"

elri1908

Hi,
Today I put all my other responsibilities aside and I made some me-time. I feel extremely fortunate that I stumbled across this site while doing research about healthy eating / increasing exercise and I've already found loads of inspiration from all the success stories.

I'm South-African and we love eating and drinking! Combine that with a sedentary lifestyle, everyday life stresses and a overloaded program, you find yourself where I am today ~ 50kg overweight!

I got married to a lovely fit and fabulous guy just over 4 years ago, and along the way we have been fighting demons. I'm the emotionally strong one, he is the physically strong one. His advice for any physical pursuit in life is: "Just do it!" So here I am today and I'm finally going to follow his advice! He's been following my advice with great success, so its time that I do the same - I'm going to get off the sidelines where I've always been a great supporter for everyone else's pursuits, and now I will need support as well.

If you also have a seemingly impossible goal to reach - for one person it could be 20, for another 150, please add me as a friend.

Best of luck to all of you.
Elri
