in Introduce Yourself
OKay. Here we go..... New to the website. Looking to create a brand new attitude toward eating healthy and loosing weight to get to a healthy shape and size. I keep tyring to remind myself that the number on the scale is not near as important as my overall well being. except that the number on the scale tends to be a reflection of my overall well being... So its importnat - -but its not important.... I just want to look in the mirror naked and think. Not Bad for ( insert age here)....

Goals - -I have goals - - be a good example.... have a BMI that is not more then ###% fat..... Keep up with my kids and my husband who area ll very active.

I am a pretty upbeat and positive person - -but I want to be able to Skip rope again - Hike to the tope of the three sisters and spend the night out on the pacific crest trail......

I am not sure where I am strating witht he food - - but my goal today.... drink water..... what is it 8 glasses of water? thats seems like a good as place as any to start....

And - -Go for a WALK - - sounds like the right thing... 30 min walk.... I think I can handle that..

    Sounds like a good start. As you start doing good things it becomes easier to do more good things for your self. That and having support.
