Starting my Journey

in Introduce Yourself
I am a 40yo woman who has struggled with her weight for the past 20 yrs. I am at my highest weight ever (206lbs) and I am 5'3. That is no bueno. I joined Curves in my hometown last Wednesday and started the designated meal plan yesterday. So far so good. I have also been walking everyday and have managed to increase the steps each day by 1k. I am now up to 8k steps/day.

I am posting here because I want someone to help me go on this journey. Someone who can encourage me and motivate me when I am not able to do so. In return, i will do the same for you.

Thanks!

    HI there..........

    Welcome, the support here is incredible!! Feel free to add me as well!! I am 40, 200lbs and 5'2 (although I could be 5'3, haven't actually measured) I have suffered with my weight since I was about 18. This is the heaviest I have been since I had my son 16 years ago. I was 216 then.

    Add the people that have responded to you (I think I will add them as well LOL) The more people you have behind you to support and motivate you the better!! In the end , it is up to YOU to get this done. Together though, it may be somewhat easier!!

    Here's to all of us and a healthy life..........

    Laura
