:iamwithstupid:Weight, appearance, image and self-perception are few issues that drives my reasons for joining this forum. However, for the most part, I'm doing this for my health...

Hello FRIENDS! I'm Christine, 24 yr old college grad working it out in corporate America but letting the work get the best of me. In college, contrary to the "freshman 15" I did not gain a single pound freshman year! I was too busy chasing after all the parties & fellas! My sophomore year (when I found that "special" guy whom I blindly thought I was in love with) is when I packed on THIRTY (30) POUNDS!!! I felt horrible...between birth control to the ups and downs in the relationship...I lost myself. Well, needless to say, we broke up...but my extra bags stared me in the face everyday.

Since graduating college, I've been introduced to Bikram Yoga (WHICH I ABSOLUTELY LOVE and AM ADDICTED TO and recommend to anyone who is willing to challenge themselves). I found a great job and I committed to the long hours. Well friends...here I am again...back in a slump! Not as bad as before, but gaining some of the weight I lost.

I'll be honest, my body type is athletic so I wear my 165lbs. well. I really don't feel I look 165...so I take advantage of it. With the reality of diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease and high blood pressure all running through my family...I've realized that as I turn 25 this year...I need to make this change for good.

My hope with this forum is that by putting pen on paper (or words on this forum) to document my crazy eating habits and struggle with weight in order to face my fears...I WILL DO IT...whatever IT is. Prevention is key and if there is anything I can do now to prevent...I will.

Well, this is my intro...thanks to whoever reads it. I don't know you yet, but I look forward to getting there with you. To ALTA818...thanks for putting me up on game in this forum and for pushing me to GET IT!

Awwww MY LITTLE munchkin!!!! :grouphug: I am SOOOO glad that YOU FINALLY joined....you have NO IDEA what this FORUM and the WONDERFUL souls on HERE have done for ME and MY motivation, not only to WANT to IMPROVE myself, but TO REALIZE that there are TONS of people out there WHO are THERE living the SAME daily STRUGGLES we deal WITH!!!! :)

I think THAT this WILL BE the KEY to YOUR SUCCESS...and FOR STAYING accountable, and LIKE you say,....we MAKE TIME for the THINGS we WANT TO!!!!

SO post, post, post...and YOU WILL GET ALL THE SUPPORT you need FROM all these WONDERFUL people!!! I LOVE you and SOON everyone ELSE will TOO!!! ;)
 
Ah that confirms :) I was reading posts and then saw alane's and thought "this is the person alta mentioned that's joining". But then I went back and couldn't find it again. Again, glad you joined and keep posting alane :)

Oh and sorry to hijack the post but this is to Alta. Being new myself can you give me some advice on how to go about joining one of these clubs or which threads I can plug into to be more involved? I've been here almost a week now and found the diary and the weight loss ticker and I've seen all the support but all posts with questions that I put up went unanswered so I just deleted them today finally. I don't really want to be on the outside looking in but this forum is so big its a bit overwhelming and hard to sort through. Thanks :)

How tall are you? I weigh about 158 and I am the same way! People never believe that I weigh that much at 5'2 (unless they're just being super nice lol). Of course, I KNOW I should be about 25 pounds smaller so it still bothers me...

SO NOW that you've joined the Vegas Challenge, you'll have to post a "before" pic or two so we can all see what you look like! Here's the link: http://weight-loss.fitness.com/befo...hallenge-before-afters-hooters-playmates.html

So excited you joined! If you're anything like your buddy Alta, Vegas is going to be HILARIOUS! LOL

I don't know but when you figure out how to do it tell me too, lol.

Oh and Alta...I used to live in cali so going to vegas would have been easy but I now live in Ohio and my husband and I are buying our first home. So since I can't go was the other group you mentioned with one person the same vegas challenge or is their a group thats doing something else? I saw the link you said was your main thread but wasn't sure if that was to the vegas part.

Thanks for the other help btw :) I didn't know how to do the tracking stuff on other people yet either
