I always played multiple sports in high school. I went on to play on the collegiate level at Penn State. After two years of collegiate sports I managed to get a back injury. For almost a year I was unable to do any sort of exercise. I basically went from doing intense cardio for two hours five times or more a week to nothing. I was used to eating anything I wanted. It didn't matter because I burned off everything.
I gained a little over 30 lbs really fast. I don't feel like myself anymore because I was always in insane shape and felt comfortable wearing any type of clothing I wanted. Now I find myself covering up with baggy clothes and feeling self conscious. I really want to get back into shape.
I want my self esteem back. I always enjoyed being an athlete. Now that my injury is pretty much getting better I can run and lift again. I want to get healthy and in shape again. I've completely changed the way I eat and now I'm working on watching my calories and getting exercise.

Welcome to the group. You have a great goal that should keep you very motivated. A cruise in December sounds no nice. I HATE the snow. One more month and it should be falling here. ICK!0

My Dad is taking my sister and I for a 7 day in the Caribbean. My Dad and his wife cruise about 5 times a year. He lives across the country so I never see him. I think there are like 4 ports of call on the Royal Carribean's newest ship. It's awesome looking. I can't wait! Here's the link.

I am going on a cruise in December and I am losing weight to look great!!! I have never been so motivated in all my life as I am now to lose. I've always been overweight, but I've gained 60 pounds since graduating high school in 2001 and would give anything to look the way I did then! I'm looking forward to my cruise and I want to be fit to be able to do more and enjoy more of what is offered!0
