Greetings fellow chicks. Just dropping in and giving a polite hello after I had a look around. The name is Jen. I'm a almost 40 (birthday is monday) year old female from Texas who is already into her weight loss journey and I will be darn if i am going to call it that nasty word. *coughs* The big "D" word. It's four letters. Ya know...starts with a D......ends with a T. I am on a lifestyle change. Cause I figure if i am on a diet.....*facepalms*...CRAP I SAID IT!
Anyway, if I say that mean ol nasty word I might actually have to eat diet food or have this irrational thought that I will fail and well, that just isn't happening!
I started my journey back in January when at 355 pounds, knees and back hurting and realizing that with my 40th birthday coming up this year that I wasn't getting any younger that I needed to get off my butt, literally, and do something. I joined Curves gym and have been working out almost daily for 4 months. I have lost 45 pounds and 23 inches and now I can't wear a single piece of clothes I was wearing in January because I have dropped two dress sizes. Oh darn! lol
Success hasn't been easy along the way and I am here to get support as well as share my successes with others. Watching my body change, feeling better everyday with the increased energy and knowing my future is bright is amazing and I look forward to getting to know everyone.
I started a blog shortly after I began my journey in case anyone is interested.

Awesome job with your fitness efforts...I heard great things about Curves...Well done!!! Keep plugging along and Happy Early Birthday!! 
Yes I agree about the D word!!! Lifestyle change is what we are doing, and I love hearing from people with great attitudes that are already on their way! Welcome and good luck, you're already doing better than me!!! (But we will both get there!)
