I think I need to invest in a scale!
Well I'm glad I'm meeting other people who are going through the same thing. Hopefully we can be an inspiration to one another!!
STEP AWAY FROM THE CARBS....HAHAHAHA

I never thought I's get this big either. Many people say "How does someone allow themselves to get so big?" But the weight just creeps up on you. When I don't have to look at myself in the mirror I feel the same(in my head) as I did when I was in school. I mean I was still overweight but not so much that it effected my everyday life. I was still one of the best girls in my school at netball, hockey, swimming etc.

Oh well, here's to the future for all of us.

Now it's time to dance around to Bob Marley for a bit then hit the shower, it's a beautiful morning!

I know....I so fel that way too. I really don't remember getting FAT, all of a sudden here I am. I've always been obese, even as a child....but this is beyond obese!!
*sigh*

I can't even comprehend losing 100lbs. My family tells me if I lost 100lbs I'd look ridiculous. But those height weight charts tell me I have to be under 180 to be healthy and right now I weigh 290. I am appalled that it got this far. The woman in the mirror is not the woman inside me!

Anyway, I focus on my minigoals. It feels so good to see that next 9 on the scale...279, 269, 259. Can't wait!

On the topic of exercising. I swear by The Firm workouts. They have a 'begginner' option and you absolutely get results from them.

Good luck!

I looked at the scale one day and said "what the f*k are you doing to yourself"
I knew I was gaining weight.....it just didn't seem real.

Well, sonce I am now doing this for the third time, I would like to get on my soapbox and say to you all....if you lose it, maintain that loss! It gets harder each time.....and then you get wrinkles and fat to deal with
