    "Here I go again on my ooown"

    Well, not really, but I love random song references, so it just felt right, lol. My name is Chrissy and I have around 100 pounds to lose. I have struggled with my weight for the past 13 years or so and while I've had moderate success at losing in the past, I find it really, really hard to stick with a healthy lifestyle and the weight tends to creep back up. It seems that when "life" happens, the first thing to go is exercise, then I find myself gorging on my favorite (horribly unhealthy) comfort foods. This past weekend I really had a "come to Jesus" with myself after the I posted my highest weight ever of 239 last week and decided that I can't put it off any longer. Change has to happen NOW. So I've dusted off my Nikes, charged up my FitBit, stocked the fridge with healthy foods, and updated my apps.

    I'm taking things one meal at a time and I'm starting slowly with my exercise. Yesterday I took my LolaBoo (our 2 year old pitbull) for a walk up to the end of the street and back, which was only about 10 minutes, but it was better than nothing. This morning we doubled it to 2 laps which equaled almost a mile. I'm going to push to go a little farther each time until I'm up to about 3 miles every morning.

    I'm looking forward to getting more active in the community here and sharing my success with you all!

      Going down the only road I've ever knownnnnnnnnnnnnnnn


      Yes, it is a lonely road weight loss and you should rely on yourself to research digest and incorporate things you learn here. I think it's a perfect song to mark this new undertaking.
