Hey, I'm Cristy and I hail from Wisconsin, the land of cheese. Ugh, my arch nemesis. This is the second or third time I've started here, and hopefully this will be my last. I'm at my highest weight ever and because of a mixture of a job that was going downhill and a severe bought of depression, I gained almost a hundred pounds in a year. It makes me tear up just typing that. All of a sudden there was a whole list of things I could no longer do, like tie my shoes (barely) and fit in booths at restaurants.
It's like I just wasn't paying attention.
But no more excuses. I just read a post of a women who lost 170lbs in 10 months with calorie counting and exercise, so I know it can be done. And it's not a race, but it will need to be a constant awareness. I know this is the place where I will get the inspiration and support I need, and I am grateful.
So I want to say HI to everyone who is also on this weight loss journey. I've come along for the ride of, I mean
FOR, my life.
