New to My Fitness Pall

My name is Megan, and I'm new to FTP. I heard about it through Hello Giggles, and am looking to lose some weight (obviously.) I've gained quite a bit of weight since graduating college in May (a combination of new medications and home cooking) and am currently unemployed. I'm hoping that taking control of my body and losing weight will help give me more confidence in myself since I haven't been able to find a job yet and spend most of my timing watching Law & Order marathons.
Sorry, I didn't mean that to sound so blah! I am really excited to be able to talk to people and start this whole thing!

HI Megan,
I'm fairly new as well. Started last week.
My weight came from pregnancy and after the babies were born I never bothered to work it off. So being lazy and my husbands wonderfully greasy cooking have helped me to gain so much more than i ever wanted. I recently tipped the scales at 254 and almost fell over upon seeing that.
I will be 30 this March and decided to enter the next chapter of my life feeling better about myself. So here I am!!
I just wanted to pass on some encouragement. You can do it!!

Hey there!
Welcome sweety! You reminded me a bit of me when I first started, I used to be just like you watching Law and Order episodes-loved the Special Victims Unit especially-I've netflix so I would barely leave my home, and one day I decided to take control of my life, the best decision I ever made.
I am also trying to find a job-a new better job, and one of reasons I wanted to loose weight is cause I work in fashion industry, I can't ever find "fashionable" clothes in my sizes and people always pre-judge you by your weight at interviews. Here and most places if you're skinny you've over 50-75% better chance at getting the job-I am sure lots of it is due to the confidence you carry.
Anyway the support on here is fantastic, and you've made an incredible choice; let's be friends and support each other through our journeys!0 -
