Hi everyone, I'm Donna 45 married with 3 children and 2 grandchildren. I am on day 18 of my new healthy lifestyle and have lost 5 lbs with 34 more to drop to reach my goal of 130. I didn't drop any weight in my 2nd week, but I think from everything I have read, that it is because I was eating under 1200 calories a day.So now I am making an effort to hit that number every day. I own a consignment shop and was tired of dreaming that I would someday be able to wear all the cute "skinny" clothes that came in & out everyday, and decided it was time for me to stop dreaming and take action to make a change. I took a long hard look at the unhealthy lifestyle i was living and started making changes. I think the hardest thing for me was kicking my Pepsi addiction, but it has been over a month since I had one, and I have more energy now than I have had in years.Once that addiction was gone I started my new lifestyle in full swing. I now eat healthy and have cut out all junk food and fast food restaurants, except subway on days I work. I joined a gym and go 5-6 nights a week, bought a fitbit and started doing 30 day shred yesterday. It is funny how I am starting to look forward to my workouts, I really never thought I would enjoy sweat and sore muscles.
I am hoping to meet some new friends and find lots of motivation here =D
