Looking for motivated woman to help me succeed!

Hey y'all, I am just starting my weightloss journey and ooooh do I have a LONG way to go and a LOt of work ahead of me! I am currently 290 pounds and so so so DONE being this big! So many oppertunities seem out of reach when you are this big from not getting to wear that hot new dress because its not in your size to not getting to skydive because they have a weight restriction! Okay maybe not everyone WANTS to do that but you get what I am saying! I am only 24 and it KILLS me that I feel so old, I wake up aching, I need a nap after a little exertion, I got waaaay to much life ahead of me to be acting like I can'd handle stuff now!

I joined myfitnesspal in hopes of making life long friends that can help hold me accountable on this journey! Don't worry, I'll do my part back! Cheering you on after successes and setbacks, reminding you of your own goals so you don't lose sight of the light at the end of the tunnel! I know I can do this like so many other people have done before. I am inspired by those people and I dream of one day inspiring someone elses beginning with my success! This journey will never be over, it will be a life long life change that I will have to commit to, but I am convinced that when i have my life back, when I can move and I feel my age, It won't be so hard anymore to remember why its so important. I will think back to what I was today and be reminded of all I have done and can now do. And I can't wait! we got this! Goodbye 2011 and hello 2012....MY YEAR to do what it takes to get there! I know this is going to be one of the best and hardest years of my life!

    Hello everyone,

    After gaining lots of "happy weight" in my serious relationship and quitting smoking I have found myself over 200 lbs for te first time ver in life. Having been very active the majority of my life kept me naive to the fact that time and metabolism change daily!

    So at the request of a friend I joining this community in a effort to get along with other motivated members. As I am trying to get as healthy and pretty as possible for my wedding in December. Any tip tricks or somehtig to help me will be appreciated. As I have a solid core of musiclar body but layers of fat on top. I am afraid of doing so much cardio that I become"soft" .

    Just not sure where to go and cant afford to pay someone to tell me what to do.lol
    Thanks and talk with you soon.

    KEEP YOUR HEADS UP!!
