in Introduce Yourself
Hey y'all! I am recently engaged, and reached my heaviest weight EVER recently. Needless to say, I am MISERABLE with how I look. But each day is a new day and a fresh start. I am 210 as of today, and my goal weight is 145. I am hoping to lose at least 30 pounds by May of 2014 and the remaining 35 by April of 2015.

    Hi there! First of all, congratulations on your engagement!

    I think your goal is manageable enough. I also hope to be down thirty by the end of May. Feel free to add me as a friend if you'd like to cheer each other on!

    Are you just dieting or are you planning to exercise, too?

    Thanks y'all.

    I'm dieting and exercising, although I can't say how well the dieting is going to go. The first thing I did was cut out sodas.

    I am also a newbie! You sound like a fun girl. Positive steps in the right direction that's what I am thinking. I will be going off to be an instructor at camp this summer so I would like to get the jiggle fat off before I get there in late June. A friend has also said she would run with me this summer. I better get started or running won't be an option for me.

    I also have to lose 50 lbs. Since March 1st (when I had my Angiocath) I have lost 21 lbs. I do Water Arobics 5 days a week for 1 hr., and work out every day from 9 pm - 10 pm. I do both at the YMCA. Also, I have three "Taste of Home Comfort Diet Cookbook"s - and I cook everything out of them and they are my best friends. You can get them on Amazon for about $8.00/piece. It is fantastic. I also stick to my portion size, eat breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, and am on a 1,200 calorie, 1.200 mg sodium live style change. In addition, I do not do any fast food and try to stay away from processed food.

    Good luck, and I hope the above helps.
