Body Fat % was a wake up call

I bought the FitBit aria scale as a present for my husband this year and what a wakeup call. I've been trying unsuccessfully to lose about 15 pounds for the last 2 years. I'm carrying a little extra weight, but no one would describe me as "heavy". So I was surprised to find out my body fat % was at 32% which is at the bottom end of obese. I'm ready to turn over a new leaf in 2013 by finding time to get to the gym and eating 4 vegetables and 2 fruits per day instead of the refined carbs that I have been eating.

I'm off to a good start so far - took my first Zumba class this morning...my lungs are still recovering, but I'm glad I started by just jumping in the deep end rather than dipping my toe.
