I am so thankful for this website! I am pretty new and since I started my "lifestyle change" I check it often for motivation. I decided today was the day to step out of my box and post my own thread!
I have had weight issues since I was in the 4th grade. To be honest, I can't quite tell you why. I have never eaten a lot of food and growing up we were poor so there were no snacks! Very annoying. I went to my Dr. about this and he offered to do gastric!! Geez...then I started working out and talked with a trainer, who explained I wasn't eating enough..
I weighed 248lbs a month ago. Holy cow! I nearly died when I stepped on the scale. I see myself everyday so I don't see the gradual change in weight gain. And so my weight loss journey began..
Today I weighed 231lbs, its a start for sure, but it's gonna take a whole lot more! I have cut down my calories to about 1200 and I work out usually 4-5 times a week, this past week I went once because I got super busy. But I am usually pretty good about going. I'm hoping by putting myself on here, it will give me the extra boost I need.
On a sidenote..everyone here has done such an amazing job! I know how hard it can be and I love to see the progress and to read the success stories! Thank you so much!!!
P.s. The one pic with the green eyeshadow is the newest one!
