Well, I don't blog, so bare with me. I am a 36 year old mother of 3 beautiful girls. I am overweight after gaining 80lbs from pregnancy with my 10 month old daughter. I am around 190lbs. and want to get back to the 128lbs that I weighed 5 years ago. I stumbled upon this website while searching the internet for inspiration and decided that the truest commitment I can make is by involving other persons who may be sympathetic to my process. In other words; be accountable to someone besides myself (an unbiased forum).
I cannot believe how hard it is to get started - If only I had just gotten busy when I first started thinking of losing the weight, I'd be thin by now.... I guess as long as I can still get my butt out of bed every morning and motivate my husband and children to have productive days, it's not too late to live by my words.
I am blessed with physical ability and I waste it. I hurt like I'd imagine I should feel at 90 years old. I want to kick my own ass for being so lazy and more so for the example I'm setting for my children. The only thing I got going for me is my work ethic and my devotion to getting things done for everyone else. I would like to add, however, that I successfully quit smoking and drinking without assistance - cold turkey. (So far the best changes I've ever made)
I've dedicated myself to this plan rather impulsively, so I do not yet have a picture posted - I will bring something to upload tomorrow. I will also post my actual weight. I have not yet started any exercise or diet. I am starting Monday morning June 28th (We have a family wedding this weekend with a lot of time consuming obligations, so adding pressure of starting a new routine may be unrealistic.)
Gosh, I think I would love to hear from any one of you; especially someone with a similar story who is either halfway there or have made it to their goal. I am actually excited to see how this pans out and maybe I can serve as an inspiration someday.
Thanks in advance for your feedback
