Hard work, paid off!!

Hey everyone!

I am very happy to say that all of my hard work, sweat, and tears have paid off.  I lost 11 pounds so far.  I feel great!  I have stuck to my diet and exercise plan even though many times I almost talked myself into “taking a day off”.  It’s amazing how much better I feel after only losing 11 pounds.  I truly do feel a difference in all aspects of my life.  Until I started counting calories, I had NO IDEA how many I was ingesting.  I can’t believe it.  (No wonder I had gained so much weight…) Anyway, one small step toward my goal, and I’m not looking back.

 Hope you all are doing well on your fitness goals.

My New Beginning

Wow… All I can say is it is definitely time for a change.  I don’t even remember the last time that I looked in the mirror and felt good about what I saw.  I would love for that to change.  I would love to not hide when someone takes a picture.  I just want to be comfortable in my own skin.  I need so desperately to lose weight and feel beautiful again…  I know that I am the only person who can do that, but weight loss can be such a lonely and depressing time.  I have tried and failed a LOT of diets/exercise plans.  I don’t intend this to be a failure.  I know I can do it this time!  I have to, for myself and my boyfriend and his two kids.  I want to be able to be active with them without being out a breath all the time…..  I have been so motivated by all of the people on this site.  I want to be a success story too!
