Hello Everybody!

This sight was recommended by a friend and, since she raves about it, I thought I would give it a try. I have struggled with my weight throughout my life. In the past I reached my goal weight only to watch it slip away :( Yo yo anyone?

My quest to loose wait has always been influenced by two shallow "ideals" - vanity and conformity. Now, older and wiser, my approach to weight loss is health-motivated; I want to increase stamina and wake up each day morning feeling better than I did the day before.

Exercise and I are not really on speaking terms; though this is a relationship I would like to mend. On the other hand, the refrigerator and I are BFFs. Somehow I want change this dynamic and find new habits to break this destructive cycle.

If there is anybody, out there, who would like to join me on my journey, or to share theirs with me, I welcome the opportunity.

With that said, my journey begins...

    Welcome! :) I started out a little hesitant too, and like you, I don't exercise all that much. Found myself gaining a little quickly for my liking and knew I had to start somewhere. And yeah, like you, I want to wake up feeling good about myself and knowing that I'm maintaining my weight in a healthy manner. *cheers* here's to the start of a healthy lifestyle! :)

    What a great intro... I have the same relationships although the one with exercise has greatly improved over the past year. I sent you a friend request since you came highly recommended by JNettie. :)
