Hey everyone! Just thought Id say Hi! Im new here, and I just thought I would introduce myself. Im Mandy, Im 22 years old and I live in Milwaukee Wi. I've always been a "thick" girl, but since I got married two years ago, I some how managed to pack on about 70 lbs. Im in the middle of a divorce, and that is definitly not helping my waistline! I've tried dieting before, but have never been able to keep it up for more than a couple of days. I have a huge issue with finding motivation, but I think this time, I finally found some. I was at a family get together, and my grandmother said something to me that really hit home. In response to my lip piercing, she said, and I quote "I wouldnt mind all that sh*t in your face if it stopped your fat *** from eating"... yeah.. thanks.. i love you too grandma. I could have died. THAT was what I needed to hear. I mean, sure, Ive heard other things, like if I hear "you're SO pretty, if you only lost some weight..." again.. Thats one of my faves as well. So, Im doing it for me this time. I'm borderline diabetic and now is my chance to changed my otherwise doomed fate. I got a puppy not too long ago, so Im hoping that too will help get my butt off the couch and get moving. I'm so lazy haha! Anyways, my goal is to be around 140lbs.
