A Healthy Change

turntechBiologist

Hi everyone! My name is Jessie and I've been struggling with weight my entire life. I'm 21 years old and I'm ashamed to admit that I'm 300+ pounds since I weigh more than my parents!

I've been exercising everyday by doing Leslie Sansone's Walk Away the Pounds Express 2 mile (hoping to bump it up to 3 mile soon!), and I've just recently started boxing on the Wii!

I've been trying to follow Michael Thurmond's 6 Week Body Makeover, but that's kinda hard to follow sometimes So I'm trying to just eat as healthy as I possibly can.

if you'd like to give me any kind of tips, feel free too! I'd like to make friends!

Thanks!

Hi Jessie! Welcome to MFP...I'm new here as well, this is my 2nd week. So far, it is extremely helpful to me to see what I am eating, and it makes me much more accountable. I also love hearing from others going through the same things I am, it is very encouraging! Good Luck!!
