Hello, my name is Chenyl. I am new to all of this, I've never counted calories, and never really exercised much except for walking every now and again. I have not been the size I would like to be since high school. It really went down hill after I had my beautiful son, then I really let myself go. I weigh more now than I did right after I had my son. I am finally fed up enough and so disgusted with myself that I've decided I'm going to do this if it kills me! I am so sick of being fat!!! I do however need a lot of motivation and someone who is not so emotionally close to me to push me to my limits and beyond! I do tend to say "I can't" a lot and I know that's not a good thing to do. I would like to ultimately lose 130 lbs, but I would be ok with 115 lbs. If you have a similar story or even just like to chat and get to know me, maybe we can take this journey together and be each others motivation, please send me a message! Thanks!:bigsmile:

    Welcome!

    You have already taken the first step to defeating that phrase "I can't!" Set your mind on anything and you can achieve anything.

    Happy Fitness Happy Life!

    Hi Chenyl...I feel many of us have let ourselves go after marriage/children...you are by no means alone. And joining this site, you're absolutely not alone. Glad to have you on board!
