It's about time.

Re: It's about time.

Tracie - Your comments really touched a nerve with me! I've been the one with the 'bad family genes', etc. my whole life. When I went home a few months ago and had lost 25 pounds, my family said, "I hope you aren't planning to lose much more - you just aren't built for being thin." What a bunch of crap! I can't wait to show them not only thin, but fit, healthy, and 20% body fat!!!!!!!!!!!!

Goal setting, re-writing of goals, and challenges have kept me going and will keep me going from now on. I can't see any reason for me to stray from this Way of LIVING - ever!

Thanks for a great post!

P.S. I'm going back home at end of February and I'm striving for a total of 58 pounds gone by then! Let's see what they say then!

Re: It's about time.

My mom and dad were overweight when I was growing up. My mom had a gastric bypass surgery and my dad just started eating right and he likes to exercise. I didn't have the best examples of healthy eating and exercise growing up but they have showed me it's never too late. I don't want to be the fattest person in my family anymore. I'm too cute to be fat! LOL Thanks for the support on this board. Tracie is so on target. Way to go Girl!!

What a fun, fabulous thread. You guys are all TOO CUTE -- I love your motivation and excitement and energy. As I've said, I wish I had caught the exercise bug right away. You'll be SO glad you did. You all are doing wonderfully! It's so motivating to see and feel your enthusiasm. Keep it up, ladies -- and keep posting. We love hearing about your progress!

Re: It's about time.

Joy - Thank you again for your comments - since I've started you have answered a few of my questions and are always such a big help! It is nice to have an experienced person telling me why I CAN HARDLY MOVE!! LOL! - Actually, I'm doing better than I thought I would (BY FAR!) but it is nice to know that it is working and the soreness has a purpose.

Tracie - I do have two girls ages almost 8 & 9 1/2. And I get a date night with my DH because I am re-married and the girls go to their dads for two days. We have been married for a year and a half and love to spend those two days doing something fun together. Last night he even went on my walk with me! He is the best!

Adena - You and your post about exercise has helped me decide to do this. You are right, I do not want to be a smaller version of me, I want to be a fit version of me! Goodbye spare tire!!
