sooo i went to my best friend's house this past weekend and saw how great she looked! she only lost 11lbs but, i guess, from working out so much, she looked like she lost 20! so on my long drive home, i made my mind up THATS IT! i have to do something about my weight.

over the past 6 months i've gained over 30 lbs from eating cause i'm bored, depressed, excited...just any reason to eat. i have to break this before i kill myself!

i have been getting dizzy, seeing spots, very weak and tired..this has got to be from the weight gain. i wasn't light to begin with but this is the heaviest i've EVER been my whole life.

so i'm doing both, what this website recommends then comparing it to Weight Watchers points. So far, they're exactly the same. i did all my healthy food shopping last night, bought a recumbent exercise bike (craigslist for $25) and Gold's Home Gym that attaches onto the door ($25). Healthy food costs too much to join a gym lol

soooo NICE TO MEET EVERYONE! feel free to email me or reply to my post!

p.s. had fun making my own ticker too!
