I'm ready...finally

A great friend recommended I check out this site over a year ago. A few thoughts ran through my mind..."Is she being funny...can't she see that I'm anything but fit?" "She has never had to worry about being fit a minute in her life".

I then stumbled on an old e-mail with a link to the site and thought I would at least check it out.
FREE...that sounds like me and HEY...there are un-fit people trying to get healthier here...and did I mention, it's FREE?

It's not just a bunch of judgemental, spandex clad size 0's (I mean size zero's) telling me that I just need to eat less, drink more water, excercise more, etc. It's hard having well-meaning friends (and some strangers, too) that have no idea what it's like to be double your ideal weight telling you their tricks to lose weight. Especially if their greatest loss has been 5-10 lbs. Great for them...but at this weight that's a weekend fluctuation.

So, I decided to sign up and have lost 3 pounds in 5 days, despite even a few pretty lousy food choices. Now, imagine if next week I skip the garbage food...I'm finally ready to lose the extra person worth of weight.
