I'm back and determined

[CurvyGirl27]

So last time I was a member of this forum I ended up gaining some weight. It seemed the more I wrote about my goals and accomplishments, I would find the scale just not cooperating.
This time, things are different.
I know that I can lose the weight and I'm hoping that checking in here regularly will keep me motivated and feeling supported, plus offering support to others if needed.

So here's me- I'm 175 lbs, 5'5. I have a closet full of size 8 and 10 clothing that maybe one day I'll get back into!

I just got married (Feb.9) to my wonderful husband and we are both struggling with weight loss.
Our problem? Eating out! It's a huge temptation because we just hate cleaning the kitchen. So my resolution is not to eat out more than once a week and to keep our kitchen stocked with easy, healthy foods that will keep us excited to cook at home.
I also need to get back into my evening walks and break out that Total Gym.

I'm looking forward to the next few months. I'm thinking I could try to treat this like that show X-Weighted (if you haven't seen it, it's sooo inspiring!) and aim to lose 25 lbs in 6 months.

So hello everyone and I look forward to "meeting" you and supporting each other on our journeys to fitter, healthier selves
