Hello fellow fitness-pallers. This is my most recent attempt to embrace a healthier lifestyle. 4 Years ago I lost 100Lbs but gained back 73 after I could no longer afford a personal trainer. I stopped working out because I figure Hey I can eat this and work it off later. I watch the scale climb over 170 dieted back to 163. Got lazy and said ok I wont go over 170. Then I talked myself into saying Ok I wont go over 180...Needless to say i talked myself into weighing 230 lbs and too ashamed to go to the gym. I won't say how did this happen to me?!!! I KNOW how it happened...too many calories in, too many bad calories, not enough exercise.
I'm not doing this to be able to wear a bikini, be high-school skinny, or wear my size 1 daughter's clothes, yoga-booty, boy-short booty, ballet-booty, or whatever shallow booty trend is in :-) I am doing this to like ME and MY body. Today was the first time I logged EVERYTHING I ate. And if I slip up later tonite I'm logging it :-)

So Step 1. Baby Steps
Step 1.1 QUIT LYING ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE EATING LOL
Step 2. Conquer step 1.1 :-)

    Good for you! I joined because I got sick of lying to myself about my body image, then guilt eating because of it. I log EVERYTHING that I eat, because I think that's cheating if you don't. My husband thinks it's silly when I log a piece of string cheese, but hey, they count, too! I laughed it off and told him how serious I am about this. I want to feel good in my skin again. It's been far too long.
