Hi!! I'm tossing out the notions that I'm "big-boned" and have "always been a big girl". NONSENSE! I'm looking to keep up on watching what I eat, not snacking, and doing some sort of physical activity every day. I love being active but always wonder what others are thinking...

Call it a work-out and I'm likely to avoid it, but I enjoy a few strength exercises at home and have always had a competitive and even athletic side. I've tried a gym routine and was never able to sustain it. I've always been an emotional over-eater, but the first step to solving a problem is admitting it. Well, I've done that and am ready for the next step.

With this website and support from the online community I am positive I will persevere! I would love some MFP friends :)

    Good way to start! Don't let the notions that you're a bigger person get in the way. Anything is possible if you put your mind to it. :)




    Feel free to add me, btw.

    I've told myself that I don't have the frame to look like *that* but I can still look good with my frame, I'm not using that as an excuse to be a little overweight anymore!

    I'm large boned too! No really I am, but I also let myself get fat. But with this place and other things that I am doing, I am well on my way back to where I used to be...thin. Welcome!! You can add me if you like, and I will help you as much as I can!! Have a great journey here.
