I had heard great things about the site from some neighbors.
I decided. Today is teh day. Why wait for another "Monday"!
Plus I have eaten pretty well today
My name is Jen. And over the past 4 years I have managed to pack on about 80 lbs.
Today, I would estimate my weight is at about 245-250- I have to go and get myself weighed (I dont own a scale, for said reasons)
When I met my fiance 3 years ago- I was approv 185.-- so I started packing on the lbs..right around then.
We got engaged last year and I decided I wanted a long engagemnt because I wasn't going to be a "fat" bride. I am still in fat denial. I still picture myself at my lowest weight of 150. Which yes, I know still isn't so slim, but I am really curvy and pretty busty and I felt SO good at that weight.
I feel embarssed to be in photos. And I have officially out grown all "normal" stores. I can no longer go to places like Nordstrom to shop. I am stuck in XXL's from Old Navy or The Loft. It feels gross.
I just went wedding dress shopping and was limited to ugly plus size dresses. I left in tears- and decided to make a change.
I want to be a hot bride! That doesnt worry about going shopping nad people going "in the back" to find my size. OOOF
So here I am.
I am hoping to buddy with another girl in my building and work as a team- she already has lost 20 lbs ont he site
Yesterday I joined Curves.
I have my first scheduled workout tomorrow
I'm super excited
Hopefully, I can convince my fiance to join too! He has about 15 lbs to lose. Currently he weighs 185 and is about 5'9
