Avoiding the Florida Sunshine. - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

zanheltangia · 05-12-2009, 07:05 PM

Newbie from Florida.

Thinking about trying out MRC. I am going to need all the support I can get.

I've NEVER dieted and barely breath the word exercise. I just watched the pounds pile on since early middle school with a shrug and a chocolate bar. Five years of healthier eating after high school and finally gaining enough to hit the 260 mark on a Publix scale has sent me here to save my knees since I am unable to do it by myself.

Seems like exercise is unavoidable.

Please wish me luck with MRC, I'll be signing up in July after purchasing a treadmill!

Hi Zan, welcome! I think you'll like it here! I don't know about MRC, but I'm sure there are members here who do and can support you concerning it. And exercise doesn't have to be more than a brisk walk a few times each week, so it's not so terrible (and that's coming from a former exercise-hater, lol)! Good luck!!

Yeah, I've been lurking in the MRC thread for a quite a while, and it is nice to finally be out in the 'open'

.

My only issue is actually getting started

I happily walk/kayak when in the middle of it, but getting my friends and myself off our butts to start with is the more difficult issue. *laughs*

But once I get a treadmill set up, I'll be set to go it alone.
*This is coming from the girl who perfected read/walking walking home over various terrains from middle/high school* I figure I can do both easier when I don't have to worry about roadways, cars, snakes, and people.

And a great book will distract me at it so I'll be walking until my legs tell me to stop a while and a good distance later. Or music, I've got some very motivating music. *wicked grin*

*Is oddly excited about all this...*

Didn't agree? How so? I really like to read other people's experiences with MRC before I even start (I tend to over-research everything

.)
I really hope I will get to try it out (My job is looking rather shaky at the moment, though more than the usual temp position shaky - hence the worry and caution).

Glad you found us! I encourage you to start now with some little steps to officially begin your journey. Walking is a great exercise - a staple in my plan

Just as soon as I get that Treadmill (just getting out and walking somewhere by myself is not quite safe in my current neighborhood).

I've been pure nervous energy ever since I moved here.
