My name is Vicky, and I'm from Texas. We don't really say "howdy" here.
I'm about to order the 21 Day Fix and just wondered if anyone else has tried it. I will need to "fix" myself several times to get to an acceptable weight. My current weight is 167 on my 5 foot frame. I don't need a BMI calculator to know that I am obese.
In the past 6 years I ended my 23-year marriage, jumped right into another one, went back to work after being a stay-at-home mom for 16 years, lost both parents to lung cancer, sent my 2 kids off to college, and ended marriage number 2. I also recently left my small hometown where I lived for over 30 years and started over in a not-too-big city close by. New job (I'm a teacher), new car, new house, but the old weight followed me!
I've got to make some changes for me to be healthier. I have only a handful of acquaintances in my new town, so I am looking for a supportive place during my weight loss journey.
Do you think stress has played a factor in my 40 pound weight gain?? (Just kidding...I know it has--but no more excuses!)
Howdy!
I started at almost 200, and even after loosing over thirty pounds I was STILL considered obese and I was like "Really?!?! Still? How am I STILL obese!!!" Only recently have I finally moved over into just the "overweight" category, but barely. Good news is though, you haven't gotten nearly as big as I did so you should be out of the "obese" bmi category in no time!!!
