Hi everyone. I have come to 3fatchicks website many times over the years but I had never been to the forums until last night. I introduced myself upstairs somewhere but I wanted to come in here too because I think this is where I need to be.
I'm a 41 year old, short, round stay-at-home-mom who just this morning hit the 300 mark on the scales.
It's taken me a long while to get motivated enough to get back on the weight loss train but I'm ready to try again. Ideally, I would like to lose 150 pounds, half of my body weight. I want to be healthier, stronger, have more energy and I want to do all I can to live a longer life since I have a young child at home. The time has come for me to make some changes and I am hoping I can meet some people here who are going thru the same thing, people who are finding success and who will share tips, recipes and support.
I already know that I can not do this alone and, really, I'm not alone because my husband is going to be doing this with me. He's overweight too but not as much as me; however, he has Type II diabetes. We are doing the G.I. Diet because a friend of mine had great success on the diet and it looks like something I can live with. Time will tell I suppose.
I guess I need people around who can remind me that losing 150 pounds is actually possible. I see these people on shows like Oprah who have done it and I'm blown away but I'm always left with ''but is it really possible? could I do it?'' This is where I need encouragement.
I wasn't really sure where to get started here so I figured I'd just introduce myself and go from there.
Here's to hoping that we all are successful and reach our goals!!
Thanks,
Kel
